ANOTHER BATCH OF CAPTIVES. - Thirteen more Yankee prisoners
were brought to this city over the Central road on Saturday afternoon, and were
added to the number of “permanent boarders” in the tobacco factories. Seven of
the party are from the neighborhood of Cheat Mountain, and are indebted to
General Lee for their visit to Richmond, and the remaining six were caught in
the immediate neighborhood of Munson’s Hill. Among their number is Lieut.
Merrill, of Maine, of the Engineer Corps, a graduate of West Point, and a member
of McClellan’s staff.
