Yesterday AFTERNOON WITH lihal Va NouluVu "'4N
rri oners. A. told You in my last, the Milanese,
Immediately after the Austrian evacuation, sent w
q train TO fetch the wounded. Az ,hey were louhu
thew were brought in succession To the station
ly the soldiers, a detachment OF TWO companies
Of the First Fusi!eers Of the Guard. At the station
the surgeons were in attendance TO apply the
first dressing, aud the trains IRON Milan Went u
and fro to carry them of. The trains CON
sisted of nothing but third class carriagesa goods
wagons partly covered, partly open. Those who
were only slightly wounded and could walk were
put into the carriages while the others were laid
In the goods wagons, whlch'had been made us soit
as the circumstances admitted, by putting straw
and hay at the bottom. To these the unfortunate
wretches were carried, in agones Of pain caused
by the movement. A large barrel of cooling drink,
made Of water and syrup, was near, as well as
another filed with wine, with which to assuage the
fiery thirst caused by their wounds. Boughs were
cut to make an awning over the open goods trucks,
so as to protect their miserable inmates from the
rays Of real Italian sun.
This station and the railway train itself were
certainly the most shocking scenes of misery
which one can possibly conceive. 1t was the
darker side of brilliant victory-looking behind
the scenes by daylight; wounded in all stages of
agony and pain, only half clad, torn, dusty and
muddy, in their own blood The priests walking
about with the viaticum to administer the last sa-
crament to the dying; the glazed eye Of death in
some, showing that they had ceased to suffer the
working eyes of others aud the kneeling priest be.
fore them, showing that they were on the point of
you would have thought dead had it not been for
the perceptible movement of the eye or a con-
vusive twist of the limb. You became invOlunta'
rily silent when you entered and took OF your cap
at the sight of so much misery: Even the lively
French soldiers, who ministered to the wants OF
these defaced specimens of humanity, became grave
and this dead silence was only broken from time
to time by the solemn words of the priest, a
faint sob, frantic shrek of pain, or weak sigh
You forgot almost that there was victory to re-
deem this dark scene, and these men, who would
otherwise have peacefully followed their domestic
occupations, were summoned to expose themselves
to all this for which is not their own, which
they know nothing about, nor care for. 1t was
indeed, hard lot.
But it was, above all, when the wounded had to
be moved to the carriages that the neighborhoot
became almost intoerable. Such shrieks, such pale
faces, contracted by pain, such torn limbs! The
soldiers ordered to transport them seemed to forge
everything in their anxiety to alleviate the pain o.
the sufferers The philanthropist would have beer
touched by so much care, and the cynic might
have sneered at the idea that the very men who
had made the wounds should now try to cure the
mischief ready to begin again. Before starting
new distribution of drink took place, for which
there was craving. At last the train was off, and
the noise of the train drowned all others, while
few turns of the wheels took out of sight Of the
station. On our arrival at Milan number o.
volunteer nurses were already waiting, with glasses
of lemonade to assuage the burning thirst after
passage Of more than an hour.
