Not Released

Summary

Fellow citizen Alfred F. Brengle, Esq., is still being held captive by rebel soldiers although a rumor had been circulated that he was released. He is imprisoned as a civilian on the charge of "giving aid and comfort to the Federal army." People from the Sanitary Commission who were fellow prisoners (but since released) conveyed the information. The paper suggests that the Military Authority "levy an exemplary sum" on Rebel sympathizers in the vicinity to compensate Mr. Brengle's family and this might be effective.
