Requisition for Prisoners.

--A requisition was yesterday received from high military authority at Charleston, by the Clerk of the Hustings Court of this city, demanding the bodies of William Cranford alas Fleming Resor and Patrick Murphy, under sentence of death for desertion from their company, bow in that State. These parties were tried in Judge Lyons's Court a few days since under an indictment for stealing clothing from James Kennedy, one of the city watch. The evidence being insufficient to convict them they were discharged by the jury; but on leaving the Court-House the conscript gatherers, who were waiting outside, pounced upon them and conducted one in Castle Thunder while the other was escorted out to Camp Lee. A few nights afterwards, however, Rasor, the Castle Thunder prisoner, managed, by bribing the sentinel on duty, to escape therefrom, and is still at large. The military order will probably be honored as far as it is possible to carry it out.
