RELEASE OF YANKEE SURGEONS. - Eleven of the Yankee Surgeons, taken prisoners at the battle of Stone Bridge, will leave Richmond this morning for Fortress Monroe via Norfolk, where they will be released on parole. During their sojourn in Richmond these Surgeons have been quite assiduous in their attentions to the captive Hessian, and their release has, probably, been granted as much in consideration of that fact as of their professional relation to the war.
