The be of the flags of truce could not make themselves any more intelligible to Gen. Pryor than to the other officer. At length word was sent to the headquarters of Gen. Sancock, who, after Gen. Richardson was wounded yesterday, was assigned to the command of this division, which, as it appears, confronts the one on the rebel side commanded by Gen.
