In short, the officer in command adheres strictly to the letter and spirit of Gen. Scott's injunction, "Treat them kindly, make them comfortable, but keep them securely." The prisoners now confined in the fort are as follows: Charles Howard, (president,) Wm. Gatchell and John W. Davis, Baltimore police Commissioners; R. H. Alvey,--Lyon, Robert Muir,--Smith, Thomas S. Serrill, Chas. Kopperan, Pierce Butler, Louis De Bebian, Samuel Alken, Col. Chas. H. Tyler, and G. Berrett, Mayor of Washington. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes: No more State prisoners, it is understood, will be sent to Fort Lafayette, for the reason that the number of "transient boarders" at present occupying that place is fully equal to its capacity.
