--A Yankee correspondent, writing from New York, under date of April 24th, says:
‘
The arrival of the remainder of the prisoners captured in
Fort Pulaski increases the number of Southern officers and men in confinement on
Governor's Island to 600, as follows:
| Officers. | Men. |
| Prisoners from Newborn | 10 | 180 |
| Prisoners from Fort Pulaski! | 20 | 330 |
| Total officers and men | | 500 |
The officers are quartered in the rooms occupied by the
Fort Hatteras officers and, like them, are allowed the liberty of the island until retreat, after which they are confined to the garrison.
Most of them appear to have money, and avail themselves pretty freely of the privilege which have been extended to them of sending to the city for any extras they require in the way of rations.
The men are confined to Castle William and its vicinity.
Their rations are cooked in the garrison and sent down to them under change of the Provost-
Sergeant.
Most of the
Fort Pulaski privates are soldier-like men, but their dirty-gray uniform spoils their appearance altogether.
