A deserter.

--A Yankee deserter named Henry West came into our lines yesterday near Chester. He formerly lived in Richmond, and was pressman in several of the city newspapers since the war. He says he went abroad to buy printing materials for some of our newspapers, and finding it difficult to get back joined the Yankee army, determining to desert on the first opportunity, which occurring at Chester on Monday night, he accordingly deserted. He was brought to the city and committed to Castle Thunder. Some persons say that twelve months ago he was a seaman on the gunboat Patrick Henry, and deserted to the Yankees.
