John Webb, John Hasty, and R. James Powell, of Gen. Pettigrew's staff.

"I cannot tell where the following named prisoners are. They were wounded and sent to some other place: 
*Capt. B.F. Little, Lieut M.R. McDonald, Privates S.C. McDonald, J.B. Hinson, James Mann.

We have received, to late for today's paper, two communications warmly recommending Capt. B.F. Little for the House
of Commons in the next legislature. Captain Little was a member of the House before the war, has since lost an arm,
(in the battle of Gettysburg,) and has just returned home from a long imprisonment on Johnson's Island.
