--A negro, (a servant be longing to certain members of the Buckingham institute Guard,) taken by the Yankees at Rich Mountain, was asked by them if all the prisoners were not forced into service, replied, ‘"No, sir;"’ so far from it, a Stay Law was passed to keep them at home, or all would have come to fight the Yankees.
