NOT so.
On the day before Yesterday we published a
telegram from New York, stating that the New
York HsraIFs Washington correspondence ofthat
day alleged that the flag Of truce recently sent
hither BY the rebels, embraced declaration that
Col. Corcoran, Of the New York Sixty-nintn, and
other officers prisoners In their hsnds, would DC
hung, IL the convicted Missouri bridge burners
were hung. We at the same time remarked that
,hs fact wa, probably so. Later, we learn
an posi,iye information, that the message brought
NV the flag of truce, had no reference whatever to
sh.> Missouri bridge burners.
