Released Political Prisoners.
Anumber of gentlemen from the West
pasied through our city yesterday, on
their way home, having recently been re
leoed from the Old Capitol Prison,
Vi r iiShington City, where they have been
confined for nearly three months as State
prisimers. Their names are Hon. An
drei* D. Duff, of Benton, 111., Judge of the
Cireuit Court in his District, arrested
while holding Court; Hon. Jno. H. Mul
keAi of Cario, 11l , Judge of the Court of
Conimon Pleas ; Dr. Marcus L. Ross, of
Tuners°, Ill.; D. A. Mahoney, Esq., of
Dubhque, lowa, editor of the Dubuque
11er414, and D. Sheward, Esq., of Fair
fieldi lowa, editor of a weekly paper there.
Theiiivo gentlemen last named have been
kept n the Old Capitol prison since the
itist bf August and the others since the"
6th of September, previous to which they
had,ieen kept for some time at Cairo.
They were arrested on warrants signed
by the Secretary of War. but in which no
charge was set forth: During the whole
terniq of their imprisonment they vainly
endeavored to learn of what they were ac
cusal—but not only did theAssistantJudge
Advocate General, the Assistant Secretary
of War and Secretary Stanton himself
denytheir very reasonable request, but ac
tuallydesired them to make statements
in their, own vindication without a knowl
edge.;bf their alleged offence. Further
morOheir counsel were not permitted to
see the papers in their case and the ac
cusations against them—if such documents
existed. They were twice taken before
the Judge Advocate for hearing, but re
manded without any light thrown upon the
cause,Of their mysterious incarceration, or
being heard in their own defence. When,
at length, they were discharged " honor
ably,':as the certificates,
signed by some
subordinate Officer,' read, they were re
quirednot only to take the oath of alle
giance,' but also to swear that they would
not in4titute or cause to be instituted any
suits dvainst any authorities of the United
,stated rof any loyal State, for their im
prisonment. '1 he tact that some parties
in the West had brought suits for false
impritienment delayed. their discharge for
sometime, as the Judge Advocate said
nothing : could be done until the Secretary
of Weircsms consulted. The result of the
consultation was. apparently, the incor
poration of the above new clause in the
oath. if
WheMaiked to sip this document some
of the. rprisoners grew very indignant and
refusedtto take such an oath, but as some
were in failing health, and did not know how
long they might be kept in durance, finally,
by adeiCe of their counsel, complied and
were reinased—but are yet ignorant of the
charges tip= which they were arrested, if
any therh were.
Theie reatment in prison was not bad,
but tbey , were obliged to furnish their own
provisions and were not permitted to hold
private converse with those visiting them—
an officer always being present. Their
correspondence was watched and it was
only by iitrategem that they could commu
nicate with their friends at home, as their
letters were, after being read, destroyed,
returned) or confiscated. One of the
guards *as imprisoned for allowing the
prisoners some trifling liberty. The lives
of the prisoners were constantly endan
gered byithe carelessness of the guard in the
barrackslelow, several balls havirg come
up into the prisoners' apartment, discharged
from makkets below. Mr. Mahoney ex
hibited to us his shawl, perforated by
twelve Millet holes, and a ball which had
passed through, it while used by him as a
pillow, and lodged in the ceiling above.
He charges no intentional firing, but gross
carelessness, from which the prisoners
might atl. any moment lose their lives.
They suffered other serious inconveniences
and the liealth of all was more or less
impairedby their close confinement.

The stable connected with the Kinnear

by fire laq week. Fifteen horses, some of
them very valuable, with a large amount
of grain and hay, and several vehicles and
other prpperty were destroyed. The ho

of course; sustains the heaviest loss.—
Mr. Eitee4",the keeper of the •hotel, be

longing to one of the skeleton keys found
on the defendants, was subsequently dis
covered in the lock of Kahl's door. The
testimony against them was very strong;
and, added to this, the men have a bad

Where to Go.
To.lady readers inquiring for the best
place to replenish their port folios, we say
go to Henry Miner's great stationery and
periodical depot, Fifth street, where you
will find an infinite collection of gilt edged,
bordered and tinted, billet dona and note
paper and envelopes to match. The dif
ficulty will not be to find what you want
—but to make your selection from the
hundreds of varieties you will see. Mr
Miner has such a stock, recently purchased
'at low figures in the East, as will enable
him to defy competition in supplying the
trade.

'Tall Throwing.
The Vigilant boys yesterday took their
fine steamer to Allegheny city, for the
purpose of making an accurate test of her
throwing qualities. The trial was in every
way satisfactory, Rs the performance sur
passed any ever recorded West of the
Alleghenies. She succeeded in throwing
a single stream, through a - nozzle of
inches diameter 280 feet, and 288 feet
through a 1.1 inch nozzle. The Vigilant
boys feel content with this result and are
willing to rest on their laurels. During
the trial the pressure of the new patent
hose, about which so much has been said,
was ...:5() pounds to the squire inch, which
the knowing ones say would buret any
leather hose. The Vigilant boys say their
patent hose, which has been in use for six
months, has been well kept and that every
section is perfect. They are willing to
test- it any time with any leather hose in
the city.

have been made, and says that upon the
new union navy has been designed with
so peculiar and exceptional an object
that it is hardly safe to draw any general
lessons as an example.
The Northerners wanted a fleet not to
encounter the fleet of the enemy, but to
take on the instant and keep possession of
an uncontested sea; they required gun
boats for the navigation of the' rivers and
flotillas to co-operate with their army.—
These necessities of petition, they not
only discerned,but acted without an hour's
delay, and the result certainly does them
credit, as it has indeed done them service
Measured, however by European stand
ards, their squadrons can hardly he re
garded as effective, unless we are to pre
sume that other nations have expended
upon their navies a large amount of, an:
perfluons pains. We can do in twelve
months not only what the Americans done,
but five times us much by pressing into
tto service every species Of craft all set
ting every building yard to work without
stint or scrutiny. .)
Earl Russel, in reply to the London
Garabaldi Committee, stated that the only
means he could properly use to obtain the
withdrawal of the French troops from
Rome consisted in making friendly repre
sentations to the government of the French
empire. He added that such representa
tions had not been wanting on the part of
the British government, and that similar
representations should be made whenever
it would seem necessary or expedient.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTONIA
- •
Warrenton, Nov. 14. )
A rebel brigade which has for several
.days been reconnoitering our positions on
the Rappahannock, left Jefferson this
morning for Culpepper. Pleasauton!s
cavalry drove their rear guard from Jef
ferson.
There are indications that the rebels are
about evacuating Culpepper.
Jackson is said to be hovering about
Chester Gap with not over 40,000 men
under his command. •
BALTIMORE, Nov. 14.—A special corres
pondence to the Baltimore American,
dated Harper's Ferry, •to-day says :It is
believed Jackson is between Winchester
and Harper's Ferry.
Parties from Winchester and our scouts
all report that Jackson passed through
Winchester on Monday and that General
Hill followed him on Tuesday.
A skirmish between our pickets and
those of the rebels has been resumed dur
ing the last few days, and three of the Ist
Maryland cavalry have been captured.
Gen. Slocum who commands at Har
per's Ferry is fully awake to the position
of affairs and has a sufficient force.
The rebel cavalry scouts are still said to
be on this side of the Blue Midge, hut be
yond picking - up stragglers and capturing
a few sutlers' wagons, they have accom
plished nothing.
