ARRIVAL Ut nLDEL PkIsONERS-ONB OF
THEM SHOT.
Six hundred and thirty five rebel privates
and twenty-five officers arrived at the Sixth
street wharf yesterday, from Port Royal, on
board tie steamer Dictator. The officers were
taken from the vessel and committed to the Old
Capitol, but the Dictator was ordered to pro-
reed 70 Point Lookout and there unload the
remainder Of the prisoners.
While the Dictator was lying at the wharf,
severh OF the prisoners attempted to make
neir escape by jumping overheard, but We re
saught in the act by the guard. One succeeded
getting overheard, but was fired upon by the
guard, the ball taking effect in the neck. This
intimidated the rest, and no further trouble
was had with them.
II having become known that these rebel
prisoners were at the wharf, q large crowd Of
persons soon collected there. Among this UNI.
Der were several sympathizing females. who
expressed their regards for the prisoners by
purchasing several baskets OF pies and cakes
from the vendors who line the wharf, and dis
uiouting them amongst the prisoners. These
women were not allowed to approach the boat,
but they paid the vendors to throw the contents
Of their baskets in the midst OF the prisoners,
which caused general scramble among the
rsbs. TO catch the edibles.
In the afternoon when the authorities wen
10 furnish the prisoners with their rations,
considerable difficulty was experienced in get
ting the negro labOrers TO carry the rations on
board the vessel, as they were afraid TO ap.
proach the prisoners, experimenting rough
treatment, and all persuasion was found to be
of no avail. Finally file Of soldiers was pro-
cured TO cooperate, when the contrabands
marched 70 their work.
The following are the rebel officers brought
