WaakfugIaas

Colonel Ssreight, who, with snumbsg Of other
fsllow-prisoGers, made thsir escape from tho
Libby prison, has arrived st Washington. The
following extract, from the Washington ChrOR-
ieis, of his adventures and observations, is in
teresting, if for no other reason than showing
that there exists in Richmond many apies and
" Union" men:
It was at lste hour last night when va ob-
tslned a conversation with this famous ofieer,
Col. S:reight. He is in good health, hsying
lost but some thirty pounds since his coEdne-
ment. His feet and ankles are very much
swollen, and it will be some days before be will
be placed in possession Of full BBd free use Of
bis limbs. The colonel is in possession of a
vast amount OF inf)Tmaiien, Ehich will prove
eff immense benefit 10 the Government, but
which it would be interfering with the sUthori-
ties TO divulge a. present
The colonel passed all the Notifications Of
Richmond, and state that they sTe almost entire
IL unnamed. Bat two thousand soldiers are
located in and around Richmond, snd the mai
ority of these aTe employed in guard duty over
Union prisoners. The home guard of Richmond
numbers between two and three thousand SOL
disTs, bat these cannot bs depended upon Is
more than one half Of them are uneompromising
Union men.
doubtless this information ha5tenei .he
raid " Oh Richmoud.-Ex.1
Colonel S'reight and party effected their es-
cape on the OH instant, but they did not leave
z chnond until the I6ih, having all this tine
remained within not score Of miles of ths city.
When these officers started lrcm Richmond, six
days raGions were furnished them, ard they we're
al well sTmed, but By whom they were thus
kindly cared for we are not at liberty TO state.
Their route lay by the way of DunBirk bridge
on the MAttsPOni, and by TappShannock, On

OBEYENG ORDERS TO THE LETTER. -Wben
the Yankees returned from Bottoms bridge
some wOsks ago, after their futile effort to "a.
lsase the prisoners in this city, the Infamous
Col. Spears alighted at the residence of well
known family in New Kent and demanded "a

asked, IN bullying tone, if any of the negro
soldiers had been there The ladies rep]ied in
the affirmative. ''WhRs did they do7" iuouiTed

that ALI" NO" said the ladies' they used in
our presence such lsrgusge as we never heard

faction, they did their duty, and oboyed their
orders to tho very letter"
Think Of this, ciiizsns Of Virgins. II is no
helioa, bat well authenticated TACT "Tbey
obeyed their orders to tho very letter" At an
other house, inhabited by widow lady, these
negroes Seted so outrsgssusly that the lady,
beside herself with indignation, seized q stick
and struck one of them with it. The black
rascal immediately hoorsd her with blow over
the head with the butt of his musket, and left
her for dead, lyipg in pool Of ber own blood.
This also is a fact. The unspeakable misery of
thess ouiFsges is that there seems to be no rem
