Sir Percy Wyndham.
--If the report of Gen. Jackson's recent successes in the Valley, mention is made of the capture by Ashby's cavalry of an English Baronet, "Sir Percy Werden," a Colonel in Lincoln's army of subjugation.
The true name of the prisoner is Sir Percy Wyndham.
He was born in the East Indies, where his father, who was a Colonel in the British army, was for many years in the service of the "Honorable East India Company." His son was in the Austrian army as a Captain of Cavalry for eight years. On the breaking out of the Italian revolution, he joined the Piedmontese army of Victor Emanuel, and distinguished himself at Solferino and Magenta.
He landed at Palermo with Gen. Garibaldi, and fought with some credit to himself through the Sicilian and Italian war, up to the final expulsion of Francis II from Gaeria.
These facts we have from a Colonel under Garibaldi, who served with the prisoner, and who has long been in the military service of our Government.
