Yankee Deserters.

--Deserters from the Yankee army continue to pour into our lines.--The following is a list of the last batch received, the most of whom represent that they have no heart for the war, but from the force of circumstances were compelled to enlist in the Federal service: Henry Parks, co E, 11th Connecticut regiment, 8 Wood, co F., do; James Ford, John Bizell, co A, do; and D. Zna, on board of gunboat Stepping Stonp, were forwarded from Drewry's Bluff. Robert Singleton, John Bowman, Ambroes Booker, and Edward Langley, received from Charles City. The four inst are drafted recruits and state that they had not yet been assigned to commands. Quarters were given them in Castle Thunder, where it is to be hoped they will be kept till some better evidence of their sympathies for the South will be adduced than their own assertions.
