Captured Yankees and disloyal Virginians

--The York River Railroad cars brought to Richmond, yesterday, six men from Mathews county, Va., who are charged with being Union men and traitors. The Central cars, yesterday at 11 o'clock, made an addition to our floating population in the shape of ten Federal soldiers and seven, citizens captured near Manassas by our pickets. Four of the citizens were disloyal Virginians, found in cahoot with the Yankees, and three were citizens of New Hampshire; one of them being a contractor for building a bridge over Bull Ran. When taken, this last named prisoner said it was just his luck to get caught, for not expecting anything of the kind, he had left money and clothing behind, and was without either.
