From the Richmond Enquirer, 3/6/1862, p. 3, c. 5
THE YANKEE PRISONERS OF WAR. – Since the recent expose of
the treasonable machinations of the Unionists in our midst, all communication
between the Yankee prisoners of war and outside parties has been strictly
prohibited. The newspapers have also been denied to them, and a double cordon of
sentinels stationed around the tobacco warehouses in which they are confined.
The prisoners, numbering about five hundred in all, are bitterly disappointed at
their detention.
