The extinguished George W. Jones, once Senator from Iowa,
more recently Minister to Bogota, and still later a resident of Fort Warren,
with, it is supposed, his rebel son, taken prisoner at New Madrid, since, like
his father, released on parole, dishonored our city with their presence
Saturday. When seen by our informant, they
were conversing on the street with G. C. R. Mitchell and J. W. Churchill, Esqs.
