Negroes set at liberty.

--A surgeon, who was captured with the garrison at Fort Pulaski and who has returned from New York, being exchanged, informs the Savannah Republican that:

There were sixteen negroes belonging to the garrison who were allowed the privilege of accompanying their owners to New York, or remaining at Hilton Head, at their option. About eight decided to go, and they remained with the garrison about eight days after their arrival at Governor's Island, when they were taken away by order of the Secretary of War and set at liberty in the city.
