Suspicious Characters.
--A man named
William E. Kendall, who professes to hall from
Richmond, Texas, was sent to the
Provost Marshal of this city, on Wednesday evening, by
Gen. Field, as a suspicious character.
He was apprehended by the forces of
Gen. Field, while endeavoring to make his way through our lines towards the enemy.
He professed to be on his way to see his relatives in
Loudon county, Va; but, when his person was subjected to an examination, a number of letters addressed to parties residing at the
North were found on him, tending greatly to discredit his assertions and induce a strong suspicion that he was setting the part of a spy. He was sent to Castle Godwin.
A fellow named
Stuart, and a negro, were also sent down by
Gen. Field at the same time, and being charged the first with disloyalty and the latter with treasonable practices, were also sent to Castle God win.
