Yankee prisoners.

--One Captain in a New York Regiment, and seven privates in the Abolition Army, were caught on Sunday by pickets belonging to Gen. Longstreet's Division, and brought to town at 10 o'clock on the same night, under guard, and committed to prison. The Captain, who was a foreigner, and a vulgar fellow besides, professed to have followed the trade and occupation of a butcher before enlisting in Old Abe's army, and his appearance and demeanor, we are informed, did not give the lie to the assertion. Two wounded Abolition soldiers were brought in yesterday from the lines and carried to the C. S. Hospital.
