Sweczey. SgT Lieut. Col. Hall, 4th Michigan Infantry has written Col. J. F. Millku, of this city, under dato of July 28th. that ho bas reliable iuformation froin au escaped prisoner, thafc First Sergeant Oüver S. Smith, and Privates David Webster, Süsby, Cook, Smilh, Dexter, and Marshall, are known to be prisoners, unwounded; probably at Richmond. He hopes they will soon be exehanged. - From the letter of Col. Hall we extract the following paragraphs : ' I am very glad to hear that the remaiDS of Col. Jeffords reached their des tination. It was with great difficulty that I succeeded in íinding a citizen who would take charge of the remains, and then I had many fears that he would fail. Col. J. was the prido of the 4th regiment, the comraand will long mouru the loss of our noble leader. The 5t.li Corpa arrived here yesterday, and are uow I hope in camp for a few days rest. We have been on the march nearly.every day since the battle of Gettysburg. It seems strange to remain in the same camp 20 hours. I don't think that Gen. Mead will ever be accused of inactivity, he seems to have an idea that a soldier is ruada of wrought iron nerei to tire. The 4th has now present for duty 175, exclusive of 15 offieers. We sincerely hope that our ranks will be filled." _____ t Mybon Gillespie, Co.

F, same regiment, died of the same disease, and these two brave soldiers, true patriots and tried heroesi having been playmates, scboolmates, and fast friends through life, were buriad in the sane grave, "on a high hilli overlookinsr the ohuroh nnd valley called Milldale, and írorn which can be seen intrencbments and fortifications for miles around - extending to Yazoo river in ono direction_ and Haines' Bluff in ónothor." Thus are our noble younsr men finding their last, resting places on all the hills and in all the valleys of the South, whither they have gone in defense of tho "Stars r.ad Stripes." f-LT John Mokoan aud a large number o( his officei's huve been cönfined in tho Ohio States Prison, at Columbue, to await the disposition to be made by the rebels of the captured officers and men of Col.
