   Sixty of the Penitentiary transports, hired to Mr. Bibb, lately at work on the Covington & Ohio Railroad, have been brought back within the last few days and lodged in the institution. Yesterday eighty of those hired to Rosser & Co. were expected to arrive in the city. These prisoners can be employed to great advantage in any works of defence proposed to be erected around and near this city.
