Recaptured.

--All of the prisoners, ten in number, ( one,) who recently escaped from the county jail, have been recaptured and returned to their old quarters. They were taken in custody by Capt. Elliott's Home Guard, between Salem Church and Hanovertown, in the bushes, aided by Messrs. Wicker, Ligon, Dr. Shelton, Dr. Lumpkin, and Mr. Wm. Gaines. The enterprising men who thus severed their connection with the Confederate authorities, have, since their arrival, been securely ironed.
