Held as a spy.

--Dr. Joseph Yates, of South Carolina, one of our Surgeons who was taken prisoner at Gettysburg, is now confined at Fort Norfolk, and held as hostage for the return of the notorious renegade Virginian and spy, Dr. Rucker. The treatment of the Surgeons is represented as very harsh and severe. They are huddled together in a small room, very poorly ventilated and lighted, and their fare is of the coarsest kind. They are allowed the privilege of the jail area about an hour each day,
