Hard cases.

--The following parties have been sent to Richmond from the lines of the Fredericksburg army and lodged in prison to await trial: Squire Hall, charged with disloyalty and violating his parole; Ezekiel Blow, formerly an officer under the Pierpont Government, as a suspicious character; and Hiram Blow and Morgan Garrett, as hostages for the return of two citizens of Virginia, carried off by the Yankees. On Saturday ninety-one men were sent to Richmond from Gen. Jackson's army corps and lodged in Castle Thunder. They were under arrest for military offences and awaiting trial by Court-Martial. The General, in the present posture of affairs, did not wish to be embarrassed by the presence of those who could not fight.
