Richmond, Va.--It is reported here, and almost universally believed, that five full companies, attached to one of the Yankee regiments which participated in the battle at Manassas last Sunday, surrendered to Gen. Beauregard on Friday last.
These men, it seems, in their haste and fright, missed the road to Arlington,
[8]
and became lost in the Virginia forests near the Blue Ridge.
Worn down with fatigue, famished with hunger, and despairing of ever making their way out without being discovered, they hailed one of our scouts, and requested that their condition be laid before Gen. Beauregard.
All surrendered, and were kindly furnished with nourishment.
It is presumed that they will be sent to Richmond.
It is also stated that a house in the vicinity of Fairfax Court House, which was suspected by our troops, was surrounded last Friday, and found to contain sixteen Yankee officers, who were not quite active enough in their movements last Sunday, and took refuge in this building.
They were all bagged, of course, and will be securely held until it is ascertained what disposition is to be made of the crew of the privateer Savannah.--Richmond Dispatch.
