From the Richmond Whig, 3/14/1864, p. 1, c. 3

EXPECTED ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES. - General Wm. H. F. Lee and seven hundred other Confederate prisoners have arrived at City Point, and may be expected in this city to-morrow.

Our flag of truce boat, carrying Yankee prisoners, goes down to-day. The most notable passengers by this boat are Neal Dow and Captains Flynn and Sawyer. The latter are remarkable as the parties our Government at one time decided to hang in retaliation for the two Confederate recruiting officers hung by Burnside in Kentucky.
