Prisoners, &c. – The Central cars brought down yesterday eleven Hessian prisoners, including two belonging to the medical staff of Lincoln ’s “Grand Army,” who were carried before the Secretary of War, and afterwards deposited in the prison depot. The Surgeons had been detained since the battle attending on their own sick and wounded – a considerable number of whom were yesterday carried to Culpeper Court-House for nursing.
