W know that we hold from eighteen

ap Saturday were selected to be retained
So tbe Confederacy by lot. Another flag
of iruoe, covering a lar.f number of ri-

week.
The prisoners returned Saturday, say
thai theie were not more lhae eight thou
aand prisoner at I uint Lookout, wherena

emy's estimate of the prisoners in bis
bands partakes of tbe usual exarreralion
of the Yankee.
We are ie formed tbat tba last artful in
