via Mobile, 15th,) --Gen. Johnston sent a flag of truce to-day to Gen. Grant, asking permission to bury the Yankee dead in front of our works. General Grant asked permission to send assistance, in order that the dead might be recognized, which was refused. The terms originally proposed were then agreed to. Our troops have been engaged all the afternoon burying the dead Yankees. The exact number is not yet ascertained. The Yankee officer in charge of the flag admits a loss of four to five hundred. Among their killed and wounded are Col. Earl, Lieut. Col. Long, and Capt. Hall, of the 41st Illinois; Lieuts. S. Smith and McMasters, of the 53d Illinois, and Lieut. Abernathy, of the 3d Iowa. Among the officers on our side are Major Lamb, of the 29th Georgia, killed; Lieuts. C. C. Braden, of the 19th Louisiana, T. J. Rust, of the 4th Florida, and B. A. James, of the Cobb battery, wounded. The time specified in the truce passed before the burying was finished.
