Deserters, contrabands, came to camp here this P.M. having been found by a scouting party. One was a member of the black Virginia cavalry who were engaged in the skirmish at New Market Bridge, on Dec. 22, with Max Weber’s regiment. – He was completely armed with carbine pistol, &c., and had a considerable amount of rebel money. They present a great scarcity of provisions.
The bark Trinity arrived this p.m. from Boston with forty-five released prisoners in charge of Lieut. Buell, to be exchanged. It is expected that Bishop Ames & Hon. Ham. Fish will accompany the prisoners when they are sent over in the morning.
