Made a soldier of.

--Wm. Norris, a citizen of Londoun co., Va., recently returned here on a flag of truce boat, was yesterday arrested by the enrolling officer and carried to Camp Lee and made a soldier of. It appears that Norris had excited the suspicions of his fellow captives by having left the boat when at Fortress Monroe in company with Yankees and gone to Hampton. They said he would not have returned had not the Yankee soldiers brought him aboard, they being unwilling to let slip an opportunity to exchange another man for him. The presumption against Norris is that he wanted to take the oath and get to Warrenton via Washington. When arrested by the detectives yesterday near the American he broke and ran very fast, but was finally overhauled near the general P. O.
