Another Instalment of Yankees.
--A detachment from
Gen. Jackson's army, brought down by the Central railroad yesterday twenty-six prisoners, sixteen Yankees and ten domestic traitors.
The latter were a very squalid and miserable, hang-dog looking set of creatures.
While they might have served the enemy as spies on the actions of our brave boys, they could hardly, judging from appearances, have inflicted any serious damage on the cause of Southern rights by their characters or example.
Some of the
Yankees were tolerably fair specimens of humanity, but in several of them the brute stuck out so far that it could not be concealed.
A number of them were so Teutonic that their jargon could hardly be understood.
The names of the
Yankees were
James Ginnis, company F, 3d Maryland;
Thos. Eckles, company H, 66th Ohio;
James E. Burns, company I, 14th Indiana
C. Caffrey, company C, 1st Vermont,
