ay by special permission; and of the number so held, only two now remain--Lt. Col. Neff, of the 1st Kentucky regiment, and Maj. J. D. Potter, of the 38th New York volunteers. They have been in captivity for more than thirteen months, and are now retained only until the necessary papers can be made out. There are, we understand, twenty-eight Federal officers, taken at the battle of Manassas, still confined in our military prisons. Considerable apprehension exists among them relative to President Davis's late proclamation, and they seem to have little hope of a speedy restoration to liberty, but they have no cause for alarm.--The provisions of the cartel will be faithfully carried out with respect to the prisoners in our hands at the time of its signature, however objectionable that instrument may be in view of more recent events. The redoubtable Corcoran, (who, if his physiognomy be taken as an index of his character, is by no means worthy of his notoriety.) remarked shortly before

Yancey, Davis & Co., as little know the consequences to the South of their attempt at disunion, as children know their own danger when they are handling "sharp-edged tools." The progress of this war, from its inception to the present, establishes the truth of our position.

In a half persuasive and half threateni
