rHs wouspEp on AND xRAR THE BATTLE
YIELD.
A letter written this moroiug has just
been received here from a surgeon still on
the field of battle, who went out in charge
of the FIRST train Of hospital supplies. He
writes that he and those with him, agents
of the Sanitary CommissIOu,l have given
attention to at least {, 900 Union wounded.
They were mostly clustered about barns
and stables, or under trees upon the field
There was plenty of clean straw for them
to lie upon. aud sufficient medical, and
surgical attendance; but great want of
medicines, especially, Hnd provisions of all
kinds. -.
Tho writer says that every available
place OF shelter was occupied by the suf-
ferers, the hospital ground extending over
a space not less than thirty miles in cir
conference. There is not a barn, farm
house, store, church, or school house be-
tween Boousborough, Sharpsburg, and
Smoketown, that is not gorged with the
wounded, Rebel and Union.
Even the grain cribs, in many cases the
COW stables, and, in one instance, the man
ger, were filled. Several thousands lie in
the open air upon straw. On Sunday the
medical headquarters were moved to
Shnrpsburg, Great dissatisfaction was
said to be expressed at the long delay of
the stores sent forward by the Medical Bu-
reau which did not arrive.
For two days after the immense amount
of supplies sent by the Sanitary Commits
sion had been received, the delay was cans
ed by neglect to furnish Independent
transportation.
CONDITION OF GEN. HooEER.f
General Hooker was visited at his quar-
tiers at the Insane Hospital to-day by tho
President, Senator Hale and several officers
Of the army. The wound in his left foot Is
no longer paiuful, and speedy recovery is
anticipated by the attending surgeons. The
bail passed through the bottom of the foot.
but mono Of the bones were injured The
Generalisin excellent quarters, and receives
the kiRdest attention and treatment from
DR.. Nichols, Superintendent of the Hospi-
tai. Gen. Hooker chafes somewhat under
the reflection that when he WAS obliged 10
leave the field he was whipping the enemy,
aud felt certain of destroying their army.
His remark at the time he was hit Was, that
if they had left him alone until night he
would mot have cared what might have
happeuedto him afterwards. He says that
he bad the enemy rolling towards the river,
and With Summers fresh troops be was
confident Of annihilatiug them. Il Is 4
mistake TO say that he had been rcpuised
when General Sumner came up. His men
were holding their ground, and were fall
of enthusiasm. When the supports went
into the fight Hooker's men cbeered them
on, feeling that with their continued efforts
the rebels would be scattered like chaff.
General Hooker and his staff accord TO the
corps formerly under General Mcdowell
the praise of having behaved splendidly.
The PennsyITanis reserves, who have been
broken repeatedly In previous battles, on
this occasion fought With irresistible Yalor-
sEN. CRAWFORD IS a CRITICAL coSDIrIoN.
