From the Richmond Dispatch, 6/25/1861, p. 2
The Cars from Yorktown, which arrived yesterday
about two o'clock, brought with them a squad of Confederate soldiers, having in
charge a prisoner-of-war belonging to one of the New York regiments, recently
captured by our forces; also a Virginian taken as a spy, and against whom the
proof is very strong. The Governor deemed the parties of sufficient importance
to order their confinement separately in the large white building on the hill
leading to Hollywood Cemetery.
