Going away --A flag of truce is expected to start for City Point to-day or to-morrow, carrying away a number of Abolition prisoners of war lately received here. Among the miscellaneous parties who are to be sent off are Mrs. Frances, D. Jamison, of New York, captured near Centreville some time since, (and since held as a spy;) Mrs. Maria Underwood, of Washington, (arrested as a suspicious character,) and Mrs. Sarah Webster, wife of the man executed some months ago as a spy. All of these parties have been, and are now, at Castle Thunder. Two hundred and fifty Abolitionists will be sent to City Point this morning at ½ o'clock, in charge of Lieut. Bossieux. A boat arrived at the Point on Wednesday, and is waiting there to receive them.

ut by Maxwell, though the suspicion that no body else had done so was so strong as to induce the Mayor to commit the accused for final trial before the Hustings Court. Mike Barry, a runaway member of Caskle's Rangers, was charged with being one of three men who garroted, cut, and robbed Lieut. Warren T. Story, of Ga., of a sliver watch, on Cary street, a few weeks since. The other two men had already been secured and examined by the Court and sent on for the offence. Lieut. Wills, of Bossieux's Guard, who made the arrest, was , but could in the absence of Story tell nothing about the robbery, save that Barry resembled the party described by Story as being concerned, and was found by him in company with them. To procure the attendance of Story the case was continued till Thursday. Capt. Thomas S. Conn, who cut Antoine Caphardt, who repaired to his assistance when assailed by ruffians, was arraigned for the third time for examination, which, on account of the necessary abse

On their arrival they will be immediately forwarded.

Arrest of an alleged Counterfeiter. --George W. Siam, who escaped from the city jail a short time since, while under indictment of counterfeiting and passing bogus Confederate Treasury notes, was re-arrested yesterday by sundry members of Capt. Louis J Bossieux's Co., B, City Battalion, and conducted to his old quarters in the city jail.--The circumstances connected with the arrest are few and as follows: About 12 o'clock yesterday one of the members of Co. B thought he recognized Elam in an individual who was then making his way into a restaurant on the south side of the Basin. Without alarming the party, he repaired quickly to the barracks of Co. B, and summoning a number of his comrades he returned, and, entering the house, demanded the surrender of the stranger as Elam. The party made no reply, save in the shape of a hasty exit from the house. His pursuers followed hastily, and being nearly on him, be turned, drew a pistol and discharged it at the foremost of his pursuers,

r prisoners were compelled to walk from their places of capture at Fredericksburg to Richmond, thence to City Point. Some gave out on the march. A member of the 20th New York regiment died on the route." The delicate allusions in the foregoing are made to Capt. Thos. P. Turner, Commandant of the Libby Prison in this city. A contradiction would hardly seem to be necessary, yet we will state that Capt Turnerdid not accompany the Yankees to City Point--one party being in charge of Lieut. Bossieux, the other of Lt. La Touche. Nobody was bayoneted for inhability to proceed, nor was water denied any of the vandals. One man, who was adviced by Capt. Turner to stay because too weak to undertake the journey, insisted upon going, and died, for which he had nobody to blame but himself. While the Yankees were on Belle Isle a spent ball, fired by a party of amateur sportsmen under the Petersburg bridge, reached Belle Isle and inflicted a slight flesh wound in the of soldier, who was

nd a feeling of despondency prevailed at once among the prisoners. Trifling cases immediately assumed a serious phase, and deaths increased most remarkably. Thus it is seen in this fact how the inhuman Northern Government is persecuting its own soldiers by its deliberate and atrocious plan to starve out the metropolis of the Southern Confederacy by compelling an accumulation of Yankee prisoners here to be fed and guarded. Capt. Turner, who has been so studiously slandered by the Yankee press, uses every means in his power for the promotion of the order and the health of the camp on Belle Isle. In this he has the co-operation of the accomplished surgeon, Dr. Wilkins, formerly of Maryland. Lieut. Bossieux, is the officer stationed on the Island, and there could not be a more energetic or sagacious man intrusted with the delicate and responsible duty of preserving order and enforcing sanitary measures for the regulation of so large a number of men, now upwards of five thousand.

Belle Isle, and the small amount of mortality, is remarkable, and presents a fit comment on the lugubrious pictures drawn by the "sanitary commission" either from their own fancies or from the fictions put forth by their false witnesses. Lieutenant Bossieux proves that, from the establishment of the prison camp on Belle Isle, in June, 1862, to the 10th of February, 1865, more than twenty thousand prisoners had been, at various times, there received, and yet that the whole number of deaths durnd that the officers and men confined there were prevented from keeping themselves sufficiently clean to avoid vermin and similar discomforts. The evidence clearly contradicts this charge. It is proved by the depositions of Major Turner, Lieutenant Bossieux, Rev. Dr. McCabe, and others, that the prisoners were kept constantly and systematically policed and cleansed; that in the Libby there was an ample supply of water conducted to each floor by the city pipes, and that the prisoners were not
