I JN 0 11 Narrative of a Paisoled Prisoner Scenes wuixk Ex Bocte from Gi.rr rsBtjiuj to Richmoxd The Greenback Excitement South. Sergeant CnABXjis G. Fkazer, of the Second Delaware Regiment, a paroled prisoner, just from Richmond, called in yesterday, and gave us the subjoined statement with regard te general affairs at Richmond, and what he saw while route there.

The Second Delaware was attached to Hancock's Corps at the battle of Gettysburg, and Mr. Fbazee waa captured on the second day of the fight, together with about two hundred others, belonging to various other regiments. The Rebels did not remove any of the prisoneis captured from ua at Gettysburg until some four days after iheir final retreat fiom the battle-field, hich was done at Wilh'ainsport in scows, the pontoon bridge bavins been destroyed by tie Federal cavalry. Ibe crossing was all done at iiiht. Our informant says that the Union sentiment which was manifested bv the residents of Uagers-town, Williamsport axl Martintbnrg, on the retreat of Lee's 01 ces, wa beyond belief.

The'adies-came out along the streets and heaped the most in-suiting epithets upon the ratrged minions ot Jeff, while, so far as they were permitted, they supplied the Union prisoners with everything at their command. The sufferings of tbe Union prisoners are said to have been so great that many would have died at Martinsburg, had it not Leon for the kindcess of the residents of that place. Their hatred of the Rebels exceeded all bounds. After crossing tbe river at WLliamsport, Imboden and ids euerril'aa took charge ot tiie prisoners, who numbered in ail, ciriliars and so.diers, thirty-rive hundred.and started them immediately tr Staunton, via Martinsburg. After several days' "tedious marching, during which every LUle trifle the prisoners had had been exchanged for anything to snrtain life, they reached Staunton and took cars for Richmond On their arrival at Richmond the most of them The County Prison The Health of the Prisoners Pimsoxs Ooxvicted ott Murder xot Executed MAXUffACTtniEa, Etc.

A visit to this Institution at the present time will convince one of tho care taken ia its management. At the present time there are about 460 untried prisoners and 160 convicts within its walls. Of this number only a few are suffering from any incurable disease such is the care taken of their diet that anything hke an epidemic among them is not looked for and would much- surprise tho keepers. One of the causes, together with that already mentioned, which has added to the healthful condition of the prisoners, has been the care taken in leepirg tbe apartments cleanly, a copious supply of lime being used for this purpose. Of the rumber now confined in the prison are to be found six who have been convicted of murder.

One of these, Faeeagan, waa found guilty of the murder ot a Mr. WiLLiAiisox.duringthe winter, in Kates street, in tbe southern section of tho city yesterday h3d been set for his execution, but at the solicitation of his spiritual adviser it was deferred until the middle oi September. In conversation with him yesterday he confessed freely his guilt in regard to the murder, but said that he committed the deed while wrestliLg with the deceased and endeavoring to exfrieate himself from his erasp. He states that be was called into tho house by the wife of deceased for tbe purpose ot examining some old lurniture, and while tbeie the husband came in and sent his wife up staii, and leaving the room, locked the door on him FarraganL VV illiajhsox shortly returned partly intoxicated, and accused him ot improper intimacy witL Lis wife, and commenced an attack oa him with a knife. A fight ensued, during which ho got down and crew the knife across his abdomen.

He then leit tbe houe, and went mto a neighboring tavern, and telling the bar-keeper a man had t-een murdered, fehowt! hira trie knife and revaoated bim to take charge of it, which was His brother subsequently took the knite irom bins and threw it away, lie then returned to tbe house of Williamson, end was arrested while on the oppose side of the street. He entirely denies all intimacy with the wife of de-cased. He presor.ts quite an emaciated appearance, being pit much reduced in since time of his mil, and has evidently sulferc-d much irom men.ai anxiety. He spoke fr-ely of his doom and near approach to death, ano hoped that when his hour arrived he would b3 found ready lor tbe change. He lelt that his doom was a just one.

but so Oe-ar is life to him that he would give the world, if he po-se-ssed it, for liberty and an opportunity to a few years longer, to give evidence of his sincerity and genuineness of repentance.

A LITTLE GIRL KILLED BY A WILD CAT. little daughter of Joshua Tyler, living near le S-ofo, 111., aged six years, met a horrible death on the ultimo. It appears the parents of the child sent to a neighbot's on some little errand, late in the ing. Failing to get what it was sent for, it went the next nearest neighbor's, and on returning home was attacked and killed. It was drasrged anout thirty yards fiom the road and buned by the side of og with leaves When night came on, the parents, getting uueasv, went pursuit 01 the child, and learning that it had started home, followed up, but could not make any discovery.
