From the Richmond Dispatch, 6/25/1861, p. 2

The Cars from Yorktown, which arrived yesterday about two o'clock, brought with them a squad of Confederate soldiers, having in charge a prisoner-of-war belonging to one of the New York regiments, recently captured by our forces; also a Virginian taken as a spy, and against whom the proof is very strong. The Governor deemed the parties of sufficient importance to order their confinement separately in the large white building on the hill leading to Hollywood Cemetery.
