The Abolition Prisoners. – Two hundred and fifteen of these creatures were sent to City Point early yesterday morning by flag of truce in charge of Lieut. Bossieux. Two thousand of those taken by Gen. Bragg in Tennessee were expected yesterday evening via Lynchburg, but will not probably be able to reach here before Wednesday. On their arrival they will be immediately forwarded.
