Yankee Faithlessness.
--The
Central Presbyterian says that several of our chaplains who remained at
Gettysburg to comfort our wounded and bury our dead are now retained at Fort Norfolk as prisoners.
Among them are
Paul C. Morton and
Harvey Gilmore, chaplains in
Ewell's corps.
Rev. T. D. Witherspoon, chaplain of the 42d Mississippi, was returning to
Virginia more than three weeks since with the body of his
Colonel,
R. H. Miller, and after passing
Baltimore safely, and with a paper from the
commanding officer at
Fort McHenry giving him leave to come on, he was yet detained at
Fortress Monroe just as the flag of truce boat was leaving, and sent to Fort Norfolk as a prisoner.
