McDougal, of the United States steamer Hendrik Hudson, brought to this port yesterday forty-four rebel prisoners, captured at- tempting to run the biockade out of Mobile in the steamers Alico Vivian and Nita, this being their fourth attempt to get to Havana. The prisoners were delivered into the custody of Unitea States Marshal Murray, and a few of them, who were aliens, were discharged. The re- mainder were sent to tbe bouse of detention to await fur ther orders from Washington concerning them, This is by far the best looking set of men that have yet been brought to this city from Rebeidom, Among them aro Major H. Borland, Confederate States Army, son of the late Senator Borland, of Arkansas, recently of General Slaughter’s staf, of Mobile; Surgeon T. T, Pratt, Confede- rate States Army, and Carlo Patti, Confederate States Army, also of General Slaughier’s stall. Patti j@ own brother of Adelina Patti, aod made most anxious inquiries after bie famiy, whom be bas not heard from for a long time. Our reporter bad an laterview with the prisoners, and Patti stated to him ‘that he had been in eight different battles, incinding the first Boll ron fight, and had served principally im the sig- mal corps. Major Borland is a West Point graduate, and | young gentleman of culture and refinement. He said little, but evidently felt hie pecaliar position very keenly. Another of the prisoners ts Captain George A. Prestos, Confederate States Army, of Gen. Kirby Smith’s staf. Preston ts a wephew of Kirby Smith, also of the Hon, Wm. Ballard Prestom, at one time Secretary of the Navy Of the United States. He was quite communicative oa matters pot nearly related to military subjects, but entd little regarding bis capture or the cause in which he bad Deen engaged. On this latter point the general opinion among ail tbe prisoners seemed to be that they had been acting right, although, as things now appeared, in a bope- lean cause. J. B. McDonoagh and H.

A bag, containing letters and despatches, waa also delivered to Marshal Murray, and will be forwarded to Washiagion. ‘The nature of these papers has not transpired, they being Uightly sealed and addressed to the Beoretary of the Navy.
