From the Richmond Enquirer, 11/25/1861
AN ADDITION TO OUR YANKEE POPULATION. - Two prisoners of
war, captured by our scouts in the vicinity of Newport's News, a day or two ago,
reached Richmond on Wednesday evening, under proper escort, and were
accommodated with quarters in the Confederate States Hotel. Their names are
George Wieland and Tothern Krischer, privates of the New York Seventh Regiment -
not the "famous Seventh" of New York city, the grateful recipients of
Virginia hospitality a few years ago, but a regiment of State militia
volunteers, (?) recruited chiefly with Hessians, "expressly for this
occasion," and panting equally with a desire to distinguish themselves in
the field, and to sign the pay roll of the mutilated and now seedy "Uncle
Sam."
