Incorrect report — Fernandina shelled by the Yankees.

Augusta, March 7.
--A special dispatch from Savannah, says that Brunswick, Ga., has not been burnt, as was reported.

On Sunday last, as the train was leaving Fernandina, the enemy's gunboat was shelling the town. One of the shells fell in a passenger car and killed two persons and wounded another. The town has been evacuated, and is now in the possession of the Federals.
