Arrival of Yankees.

--Two Yankee deserters belonging to the 5th U. S. Regulars, were received at the Libby Prison on the 27th ult., and on Saturday 15 I were received from Gordonsville. The latter were captured by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry, on the 25th of February, five or six miles from Falmouth, near Hartford Church, in Stafford county. The prisoners represent seven different regiments, viz: the 3d, 4th, 12th, and 16th Pa. cavalry; 1st R. I and 4th N. Y. do., and 32d Mass. infantry. In the skirmish preceding the capture some forty add Hessians were killed and wounded. One of our men was killed and a number wounded. The following commissioned officers were with the prisoners captured, who, by the way, were mostly of Teutonic origin, viz: B. F. Blood, co, G, 4th Pa cav'ry; W. E. Warren, 2d Lt co C, 3d Pa cav; S. B. Shurtieff 1st Lt co A. Let R I cav; 1st Lt F. C Davis, co D, 3d Pa cav; F. D. Weatherall, 1st Lt co K 3d Pa cav. A flag of truce will no doubt convey these parties away at an early day.
