GEN McCULLocH's OFFICIAL REPoRT.- Gen, McCulloch has made his official report to the proper officer at Richmond. He makes no reference to having been taken by surprise and the dreadful destruction of life attendant thereon. Whether he has thought best togive this matter the go-by, or expects some other officer ''to do the subject justice,~ we are not prepared to say. The evidence is clear and undoubted that his command was taken by Surprise, and we had expected manly avow- al of the fact by the commanding officer Who, of McCulloch's command, among his officers, will be the first to communicate to the Department at Richmond the fact that the army WERE SURPRISED, and that the heavy loss of life is attributable to that fact?

The Wounded at Springfield, Missouri
DEs ARC HOTEL, Sept. 5, 1861.

LIES ARC HOTEL, Sept. Q, lool. MR. EDITOR My attention has just been called to an editorial in your issue of yester- day, portion of which deem it my duty to correct: You say, 'swe are pained to learn that the wounded, Especially those belonging to Col. Churchil's Regiment have been most shockingly and inhumanly neglected" Now sir, have to say to you, for the qualification of those who may have wounded relatives and friends in Col. Churchill's command, that you have been misnformed in regard to this mat ter. The Regiment under Col. Churchill were in the hottest of the battle and suffered very severely. The wounded were removed to Springfield, and placed in comfortable houses, before the necessary arrangement could be made for bedding, and for the first night many were compelled to lie upon beds of straw, covered with their blankets. Lots of mattras- ses, pillows, comforts, &c.,, for the manufac- ture of which there was abundance of mate- rial in the hands of the Hospital Quartermas- ter, were furnished as rapidly as possible. Surgeons and nurses are provided in sufficient number to see that the wounded are properly attended to, and nothing is left undone that could contribute to their comfort.
 l make this statement as an act of justice to gallant officer, and brave and noble Re- giment, who would not permit fellow sol dier to suffer for want of attention.
 Yours truly,
 H. w. CROSS,
 Act. Sergeon General of
