More prisoners.
--The Central train brought down yesterday fifteen prisoners from
Manassas, sixty-seven from
Gen. Lee's command, and one man arrested as a spy, and sent hither from
Huntersville.
Quite a crowd gathered around
Gen. Lee's prisoners, these being the first sent down by him, and some persons entered into conversation with them.
One of our German citizens amused the by-standers very much by his comic remarks, and enjoyed his own jokes as much as anybody else did. These prisoners are from the
Northwestern States--chiefly from
Ohio — and were taken in a skirmish between two
Tennessee regiments, under
Col. Savage, and a smaller Federal force, near
Kircher's (or Crrutcher's) Orchard — a point somewhere between
Big Spring and
Huttonsville.
They were marched to the military prison, followed by a number of curious spectators.
