The Daily Dispatch: December 15, 1864., [Electronic resource], Prisoners. (search)
Prisoners. --Four hundred and seventy prisoners, captured by General Rosser in the Valley, passed through Charlottesville for Richmond on Tuesday night last. Eight hundred were captured, but, owing to some inattention on the part of the guards, upwards of three hundred managed to make their escape while passing through a mountain gap. Among the prisoners was a negro man belonging to one of the citizens of Charlottesville. He was very anxious to give up his associates and return to the service of his owner. Mr. J. C. Patterson gave a receipt to the officer in command for the negro, who immediately jumped from the cars and seemed happy to find himself taken possession of by the town constable for safe-keeping.--Lynchburg (Virginia) Republican.
