--Col. Richard Zarvona, who was captured by the Yankees in 1861, and who since that time has been kept by them in a dark and unwholesome dungeon at Fort Lafayette, has recently been released and given leave to return home. He arrived on a flag-of-truce boat at City Point yesterday morning, and may be expected in Richmond to-day.--When Col. Zarvona was captured seven companies of the regiment which he was to command had been raised, but on the happening of that event they entered other regiments, and have since done good service. The Yankees have exhausted their skill in devising means to torture him--first, refusing to consider him a prisoner, because he had (as the French lady, with a few comrades,) captured several of their vessels on the Potomac; second, they held that he was insane, and tried their best to make him so. They lastly send him home.
