Arrival of Prisoners from Pope’s Army. – The
Central train that arrived at 4 o’clock yesterday morning brought to this city
three hundred and three of Pope’s Hessians, captured on Saturday, near
Southwest Mountain, by the advance forces of Gen. Jackson’s army. Accompanying
the above were Brig.-Gen. H. Prince, a Yankee General, and twenty seven
commissioned officers, who, together with the men, were lodged in the Libby
Prison. Prince, for a few hours, was lodged at the Exchange Hotel. The
President’s recent proclamation declared Pope and his commissioned satellites
to be without the usages of warfare, and not entitled to the privileges of
ordinary prisoners of war. Orders were issued to place all of the captured
officers in close confinement. At the Libby Prison they were put with the
deserters and other persons to whom infamy attaches. An examination was made
into the condition of the county jail, with a view to their incarceration there;
but the structure was deemed unsafe. They have not been permitted to associate
with the Federal officers, and appear very downcast at the prospect before them.
