DEPARTURE or TIE PRISONERS.
The diverse side Of the great scene that was wit
messed here on the 5th was TO have been sesn
Yesterday morning. The business OF phroling
ne prisoners having been finished they were
marched out Of tie lines They were formed
in line at their camp In tue edge Of sho
town the organization and formation OF each
regiment being strictly preserved. The men
reoIned generally we'll pleased ~ the prospect Of
get ing away from the scene Of the recent ardslps
and "a satlons, but many Of them shouted from tho
rank ,.lst they were never going to any parole
camp"
About o'clock the procession started ont on the
jackson road and Ar seen from the cupola OF the
COurt-IIouse reminded one both IN color and III
toriuOus winding Of a monster copperhead snake.
Many citizens were out 10 witness their departure
and Misunderstanding and good wishes were many aud
hearty. Handkerchleis were waved from the resl.
dences along the streets through which they pEsted
but in no instance did 1 no,Oice the sbghtost dis
lur1ance any Kind OF demonstration Of II dlsoyal
nature. The procession must have extended three
miles and was an hour and quarter passing
given point. The men moved along without spirit
or energy and were, i'll appearance quite the anti
Odes Of al ideal soldier.
At a point some miles from the Notifications the
road branches TO the night, tho branch being Tue
road t. Warreuton, which 10 rome seventeen miles
below VicksbarK on the rlver. When this place
was reached the "a Texas Infantry reiused to 10
any further and without hating turned oil from tho
JACK road leaving the three fed-oiicers to rep.
resent their reg ment in the parole camp. AS all
were without arms there was no way oi stopping
them, and they cooy took their own course In spite
Of threats sBd expOstulations. The Confsderscy
was played out they said; they wanted 10 10 home
aud were determined to do 30. Mott OF the 81 aud
9Th Louisiana and 9Th Missouri followed them.
They are now ut Warrenton with hundreds Of others
from Texas and other Southwestern States, and are
availing themselves Of every opportunity to cross
the river.
