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.
