until Saturday morning, when she started on her return trip. One of the prisoners dropped a letter on the deck of the steamer before leaving, the following copy of which has been furnished us: "At 8 o'clock this morning we left our prison house, and in a few moment's weare on board of a nice little steamer, which soon cast off from her dock and steamed down the River in fine stile. To all Reasonable men our treatment while contend in Richmond has been as Good as could be expected. Some cannot be satisfied. The treatment we received at the hands of Capt. Warner and Capt. Gibbs could not be better under the circumstances. They are both officers and gentlemen. Our trip from Richmond has been delightful. The captain of the boat, I would say, is a noble old gentleman, and understands his business well. He treated us very kindly — gave us good food and plenty of it. "Three o'clock--our steamer in sight, with flags up — soon be on board. "By Gen of the Prisoners.

In speaking of the prisons, he says: The Tombs are a paradise compared to these Richmond Black Holes. Within three months, since Captain Gibbs took charge, there has been some improvement. His authority has been used, so far as lay within his power, to ameliorate the condition of the prisoners. During the regime of Lieutenant Todd; President Lincoln's brother-in-law, things were worse. He was drunk most of the time, Once he ran his sword through the leg of a prisoner, who had committed no greater offence than that of not blowing out his candle at the appointed hour. For this and similar performances the brute was dismissed

. Now the Virginia is thundering away again. The Teaser is still closer in. We are closer in — size comes a shell ahead; presently another astern; finally a third, with a clear, sharp whizz, just over head, to the great delight of the Commodore, who appreciated the compliment of these good shots, which were the last of six directed shots at the "Harmony." Now the schooner "Reindeer" comes foaming along, cut out from under the shore batteries, she reports, and is sent up in charge of acting Master Gibbs. And next the gallant Beaufort runs down. Parker steps and brings on board the great piece of bunting we saw hauled down just now. He brings also some thirty prisoners and some wounded men — men wounded under that white flag yonder desecrated by the Yankees. One of these lies stretched out, decently covered over, gasping out his life on the deck — a Yankee shot through the head, all bloody and ghastly, killed by the inhuman fire of his own people. Another pale and stern, the Capta<

Installed in office. --Major Elias Griswold was yesterday installed in office as Provost Marshal of Richmond, vice Archibald C. Godwin, who has been assigned to duty as the custodians of all the Yankee prisoners at Salisbury, N. C., at the unanimous request of the residents in that section of country.

Major Gibbs, the former commandant of the post, has raised a regiment since being there, and will take the field at an early day at the head of as brave a set of fellows as can be scared up in a day's walk. The new Provost Marshal is a lawyer of eminence in his section of country — the Eastern Shore of Maryland--a Breckinridge elector in the last Presidential contest, and for years a violent opponent of Thos. Holliday Hicks, the renegade Governor of glorious old Maryland. For many manifestations of Southern sentiment old Hicks ordered Griswold to be arr
