From a letter of a - comrade who, with him, was captured by guerrillas near Harper's Ferry, in Au gust last; we make the following extracts: " We arrived at Culpepper on the 15th and took the cars for Lynchburg, where we arrived after tour days nearly starved, having eaten nothing since we were captured. After we anived there we were ci ven half a pound of bread each for twenty four hours. Thus we lived for ten days, when we were transferred to Richmond, remained there one night, and were marched to Belle Island, where we were kept until the lilth Of October when twenty-one of us,who were sick, were removed to the city hospi ta.
