Drowned. --During the recent trip of the Yankee prisoners from Richmond to Salisbury, N. C., a citizen prisoner, named B. F. Copeland, leaped from the cars, and being chased by our pickets, leaped into Roanoke river, and was drowned in attempting to escape. Copeland was captured in Warrenton, Va., on the 29th of March whither he had come, as he said, from Washington, for the purpose of fishing. His captors thought it a trumped up tale, and took him in custody on suspicion. While in priin custody on suspicion. While in prison here he made a record of all his fellow- captives who were slaveholders — for future reference, as he said. Copeland was a native of Connecticut, and, as his conduct showed, a most inveterate Abolitionist. We make an allusion to the case to correct an error in the name of the party heretofore published in some of our contemporaries as that of the person drowned on the trip alluded to. Copeland's body was interred near the banks of Roanoke river.
