Shields, who was so severely wounded at Winchester, the prisoner states, has partially recovered, and is in command of his division. The prisoner does not seem to understand the retreat of Gen. Banks from Harrisonburg, and seems to think that it was altogether a strategic movement. This prisoner was comfortably and handsomely uniformed, and had on, in addition to good clothes, a breast-plate, which saved his life at the time of his
