 "An intelligent surgeon, just from Centreville with the wounded, says that only one regiment of rebel cavalry of North Carolina, Col. Fiannerdv
 is visible at Centrevile, and it's and pckets occupy the country to the eastern slope of Fairfax It was reported there and believed that Bull Run was held by rebel artillery and infantry in some force.
 "All the hospital stores left at Centrevlle on Tuesday morning for the benefit of the Union wounded were taken by the rebels their 0ccu- pancy, and distributed largely to their own hungry troops; hence much of the suffering on the battle field by our famished wounded. The surgeon in charge states that, had he not been informed by Gen Pope that no evacuation of that point was intended. he should have devoted the ample sup plies to their original purpose by starting them un- der flag of truce to the field. All reports agree that the rebel officers, rule, treated our wound ed humanely. and our prisoners according to the laws of war"
