The Petersburg Council has adopted measures to provide transportation, food and other essentials for the soldiers from that city now in the lines near Richmond. A Yankee prisoner, who escaped from his guard at Montgomery, Ala., a few days ago, was recaptured by Hon. Wm. L. Yancey on his plantation, and carried back to his old quarters. The Lynchburg Republican says that the re-mails of the gallant Ashby were interred with military honors in the University burying ground near Charlottesville, on Saturday last. The workmen in the Confederate States Sword history at Washington, N. C., have contributed some for the benefit of the wounded in the 18th North Carolina regiment.
