twill be recollected that few weeks since our
Government sent fftysix Yankee officers including

there. They were placed in elegant mansion in
the western portion Of the city, near the Ashley
liyer, 50 far out Of range that the only shell that
bnrst near them was one Which exploded the day
before their exchange. They enjoyed themselves in
fine courtyard with games Of ball, &c, and also
hal Il very fine bath-hou5e at their disposal When
the Yankees determined to place as many Of our
officers actually under fire at Morris Island it was
rumored that We had determined TO place these Yam
kees on the rampaIts at Fort Sumter. This runner
came TO the ears of General Seymour one of the
prisoners, who intUnated to Captain II n Raymond,
Adutaut and Inspector-General, that probably
explanation would lead to less dreadful results
