and 50 leutenants, making 1879 in all who
gained their liberty without the preliminaries
OF parole or exchange. OF these only four
had been returned to prison up to last eve
ming. These were two captains and two lieu
tenants. Two were oyertaken at Hanover
Court House and the others about twenty
miles below Richmond, on the Williamsburg
road. Brig. Gen. Neal Dow did not attempt
the passage OF the tunnel, for the reason that
he was afraid his strength would fail him ia
the fight to the embrace of Butler the beast.
The Examiner Of the 18th says that about
twenty-three of the escaped prisoners have
been retaken.
The following list of officers is reported to
have arrived at Williamsburg Col. Streight,

PACKAGES FOR UNION PRISONERS
There may be misrepresentation abroad in
relation to the means of sending packages to
the Union prisoners at Richmond. A fact
will explain the condition of things in this re-
gard. Prof Smyth of Bowdoin College re-
Gently forwarded box for his son at Rich
mond 1t was returned from Boston with word
that the rebel authorities would not allow
such things to be sent oyer the lines He
wrote TO Gen. Butler for information, and was
informed that packages forwarded by indi-
ridadis for their friends in the Richmond pris-
ons, would be forwarded, and would be faith
fully delivered. The Government cannot for
ward supplies, but this regulation does not bar
out individual aid. He was advised by Gen.
Butler to forward the package to his son, and
he did SO.

exciting and highly interesting character

inimitable comicalities.
