Arrival OF CONFEDERATE OFFICERS -
On Saturday evening, about four hundred
of the officers from Johnson's Island arrived
at this place in the steamer New York,
from Baltimore They were four days in
making the trip from the Island, and, with
the exceptions of the natural fatigue conse-
quent upon so long and tedious a journey,
were looking finely. Upon landing they
were conducted to the circle wards and
accommodated with beds wherein to lay
hose weary bones to rest" On Sunday
morning they were mustered (not into the
Z 5. service, bless you no but to see if
they were all therc) in front Of Ward eleven,
by Capt Patterson, Provost Marshal. Wo
understand that few of them eff cted their
escape On the route. The notorious guer-
lila chief, Gen JEFF Thompson, is among
the officers here, and is the lion of the party.
As a general thing they show a very gentle
manly bearing, but there are some who
put on airs to a considerable extent. It
is quite probable that they will be removed
to the new camp soon.
