| The flag of Truce today |
| As heretofore announced, it was
contemplated to-day to send 800 of the wounded Yankees remaining here
to their homes, but it is probable that they will not start as
designed, a telegraphic dispatch having been received from
Major-General D. H. Hill yesterday that the City Point railroad
{the original name of the part of the South Side
RR from Petersburg to City Point} was in want of repairs, and
that they would have to be made before any more of the prisoners could
be transported over it. |
