Another account, received late last night, says that the surrender took place on Monday morning last at 10 o'clock. The firing commanded as early as 5 o'clock in the morning. Shortly after, the Yankee sent out a flag of truce, proposing a conditional surrender; but our firing did not cease when another flag was sent proposing an unconditional surrender, when the firing ceased.
