AMBULANCEs. This word is, we are
persuaded, much oftener used noW-a-
days than understood. So for the gen.
eral benefit we have turRed to Webster,
and take the following;
"Ambulanoe--a flying hospital; q
movable hospital, or place of succor for
the wounded, formed, for the occasion,
on the field Of battle, or in it's immediate
vicinity; first introduced into the French
armies" Quoted from the EncyolO-
pedia Of Medicine.
These ambulances are in truth "aying
hospitals" being constructed in a way
TO assure the greatest possible comfort
and ease for wounded and sick men,
and could the idea of disabled condi-
ton be disassOoiated from them, they
would be very inviting to the observer,
Even as it is, they look as though they
"Would not be bad to take"
As everything relating to the war is
interesting to look at, at this time, aud
ambulances not the least among them,
those Of our citizens who like 20 crafty
their desires in this respect, may be en-
abled to do SO BY looking in at Mr..
Stevens factory on Fifth strect--as
quite a number have here been manu-
iaotured, under contract. They are
marked with the cabalistio letters,

Cheating by the Contrautors--Prim
Pork not Prime


Second Quartermaster Buckley, Of the
Third Pennsylvania Regiment, pro
duced a record, showing that there is
extensive cheating being done by some
parties who are supplying the troops
with provisions. He says each barrel
of salt pork falls seventeen pounds
short, each case Of tea ten pounds short,
that the beans are mouldy and that
prime pork is not at all prime but un-
it to eat. The companies prefer mess
pork. Quartermaster Buckley says
Capt BeckWith, of the Com missary De.
partment, refused to sign a regulation
for provisions, declaring that he had
no time; that he stood upon the side
walk ifteen minutes afterwards, doing
nothing, and then drove off IN q car
riage. The Quartermaster justly com
plains Of this disObliging act Of the
Assistant Commissary, because the lat.
ter was only required 10 sign his name,
whereas his. refusal 10 do 40 deprived
q whole regiment of provisions for a
whole day. This is the official record.
Inc albany HYenlng journal copies
the above aud says:
Here Is something tanglblcj aud the
man who Is not afraid to publicly name
delinquent superior, may be believed
when he makes specific charges.
"Mnuldy beans" and Captain Eeck
with, of the COmmissary Department"
ahould both Ia drummed ont az cn "a,
and tho contractor who supplies "prime
pork unit to be eat" should be put in
prison and fed on it.
If the cuses Of the two rascals were
submitted to jury Of loyal men lone
an open rebel aud the other a swind
ling contraotOr--aRd only one could
be hung, they would unanimously hang
the swindler. They are the meanest
Wretohes that breathe.

The rebels we're euoumped in ra
vine, half a mile in width, forming the
bottom Of Wilson's creek. The ground
is what is called coax openings" with
a thick underground Of scrub oaks, ha.
, eel, etc. On this account, as we'll. as
its general topography, cavalry could
not bu used to any advantage, and was
not used by either side. Gen. Lyons
position was on the brow Of the hill,
sloping down 20 the rebels camp, which
he approached from the left, while Gen.
I Sigel approached from nearly the Op-
posite direction, and took position al
the point indicated by tho mark Il.
Lyons batteries we're posted at the
points indicated by the marks ILL.,
The rebels batteries were posted as in
dioat8d by the marks tit II will be
observed that Gen. Lyon had greatly
the advantage in position; indeed, but
for this his handful Of trOopB must have
/ been cut TO pie5ss.
The rebels we're driven from the hill
side across their camp until they came
within range Of Sigel's guns, who drove
them back so fer as to be able to set FIRE
