Four Yankee officers were brought and lodged

We are abundantly enough bstet already by the
world, the flesh and the. devil no need of fur

last were "brought up standing. and then
broughtto Jail, by Messrs. E. Il. CHAMBERLAIN
and JAMES JENNINGS of the Dark Conner. These
gentlemen bring them in eOn.tanttg; itseems to

As regards this question however, We feel there

heart. From the time Of their .OscaIe to their
capture, two weeks, they wandered about atnght,
living upon half roasted potatoes and half boiled
peas-irIasin the while thatthey were making
