The Abolitionists. - Yesterday sixteen hundred of
the Abolition prisoners taken by Gen. Bragg in Tennessee, arrived in Richmond
via Lynchburg - Judge Ould, the Commissioner for the exchange of prisoners,
yesterday visited City Point at the request of the Yankee Commissioner; but,
when he got there the boat had left the landing. It is not now known when a flag
of truce will leave, or how long the prisoners now here will remain - They are
distributed in the city as follows: 1000 at Mayo's factory, corner of Cary and
25th streets; 575 in the warehouse opposite Castle Thunder, and 709 at the Libby
Prison, exclusive of other prisoners. In the riot of prisoners that came
yesterday was one Surgeon.
