was not taken in battle. If my proposition to deliver one Federal prisoner at or near Hampton, by a sergeant, to be exchanged for private Carter, be accepted, please inform me, or the officer in command at Bethel Church, and it shall be done. It is scarcely necessary for me to say that the gentlemen who bore your flag have been received with every courtesy by our citizens, as well as by ourselves. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, &c., J. Bankhead Magruder, Col. Com'g. Gen. Butler to Col. Magruder. Headquarters Department of Va.Fortress Monroe, June 13, 1861. Col. J. B. Magruder, Comd'g. Forces at Yorktown: Sir. Your favor of June 12th, by Captain Davies, with a flag of truce, was this morning received.

B. Hutcheson becoming his bondsman. We understand (for we were not present) that Messrs. J. Brummel and E. B. Cook appeared as witnesses against Atlee, and a number of other citizens for him. We hear that A. went to the North recently to get potash for making glass that finding he could not get it here by railroad, he obtained a pass from Gen. Butler permitting "Mr. Atlee and his vessel" to pass Old Point, and that he had also a note from Mr. Chase to the "Secretary of War" of the Washington Government. He came back for the funds to pay for the potash, and his possession of the documents caused his loyalty to be suspected. His friends claim that underneath the potash he might have brought something to aid the South.
