Our Yankee prisoners.
--Passing the military prisons yesterday, we observed that the saved Yankees were in a high state of enjoyment, singing, laughing and shouting, as if their present position was an improvement upon anything they had been accustomed to at home.
The prisoners of rank, confined on the lower floor of one of the buildings, looked rather more sedate.
We understand that some 250 will be released this week, and sent to Fortress Monroe, in exchange for the Hatteras prisoners.
Yesterday morning two Dutchmen, belonging to the 20th New York regiment, were brought to this city.
They were captured in a recent skirmish on the Peninsula.

Released on parole.
Among those who reached Norfolk last week from Fortress Monroe, by flag of truce, were Midshipmen Cenas and Claiborne, of New Orleans, and Dalton, of Mississippi, released on parole.
Messrs. Cenas and Claiborne were on board the U. S. frigate Congress, and resigned on the arrival of that vessel at New York, when they were immediately arrested and confined in Fort Lafayette, and thence transferred to Fort Warren. Midshipman Dalton, serving in the Saratoga on the coast of Africa, resigned in August last, and endeavored to return home by way of New York, where he was likewise arrested.
We believe these gentlemen have been commissioned as lieutenants in the C. S. Navy, but of course will not go into active service until regularly exchanged.
We had an interview yesterday with the Rev. Nathaniel Greene North, who arrived at Norfolk, on Friday, by the last flag of truce steamer.
This gentleman is a citizen of Charleston, Va., and was taken prisoner by Col. G
International correspondence.
It is not generally known that by the flag of truce which leaves Norfolk almost daily for Fortress Monroe, persons in the South may communicate with the North.
Hundreds of letters are frequently carried in this manner; but all are carefully examined both by the Confederate and Federal officers.
To prevent the abuse of this privilege on the part of those who are inclined to fill twenty or thirty sheets of letter paper, General Huger has issued an order that hereafter no communication will be sent which covers more than an ordinary sized page.
All reference to political or military affairs must be carefully avoided, and an enclosure of three or five cents made to secure transmission.--The outside address of the epistle should be "via Norfolk and flag of truce."
