A flag of truce was sent out yesterday in the direction of
Suffolk, to return the prisoners of the state, released from Fort Warren.
The seaboard and Roanoke RR. has been found in good
condition to Suffolk, only a single bridge having been destroyed. The RR. will be repaired immediately, and the
rolling stock put in condition as soon as possible. A large quantity of copper bolting was found
stored in the RR. storehouse yesterday, of which possession was taken.
