CAIRO, April Is.
Gen. Strong has just received the following
dispatch, dated Pittsburg:
stSick and wounded all of.
"Stop all Sanitary Commissioners, nurses
and citizens, We don't need any more
Qsigned) Il. ". HALLEcK, Maj. Gen"
Rev. hi. Collyer reached this city last eve
ming, having left Pittsburg On Sunday Inst.
This well known Clergyman, whose name has
almost become a synonym for charita-
bic deeds, was ono Of the party who
at the first call from the disastrous
field at Pittsburg, went down from
Chicago fully ffeighted to relieve and
euccor the wounded. And on their arrival
at Pittsburg they found enough 10 do, SO
mans Of our suffering soldiers claiming their
services. After some days Of protracted and
arduons labors, the party, surgeons, nurses
and physicians are now on their return, as
boat after boat comes down the river to land
its freight of wounded at the appointed hos
pita1s.' By the above dispatch it will be seen
that no more aid Of this character Is at pres
ent needed at Pittsburg. It is also shown
by dispatch in another column, that the hos
pltals are all full md new ones are to be i'm
mediately opened at various points on the
river. We derive information that will inter-
est our readers from Mr.. Colyer and other gen
tlenaen thus freshly returned from scene
lately the theatre Of such horrors, and destin-
ed still further to know like events, not the
same we trust however.
The season at Pittsburg is mild, the forest
trees in full Leaf, the gardens green and luxu-
rant. The rainfalls arc frequent and heavy
the whole country drenched, and the mud
heavy and deep. This latter cause in the Vi
cinity. Of the late battle field greatly retards
the huria1 of the dead, and many bodies are
still exposed, awaiting these sad Offices A
ride over the late battle field is sickeniug
| and sad. Dead bodies stark and stiff
lie in every conceivable position. dis
| torted in the death agony, Or stretched
| out with faces staring upward, washed
| by the pitilcss rain. Here and there

| Dead horses lie scattered over the ground.
The mir is heavy and tainted with odors OF
decomposition. The traces Of the late NOR.
tai struggle are abundant, the ground plough
ed and torn, and the forest trees broken and
rent to shreds By the plunging missiles. 1t will
take years to efface the marks Of this combat
Gen. Halleck arrived on Saturday night,
and bas assumed command. He received a So
lute Of artillery on Sunday morning. There
was, from appearances up to Sunday, no pros
pect Of immediate operations. Both armies
ore terribly handled and cut up, aud it will re
quire days and even weeks, could the Latter
be granted, to bring the regiments back into
condition. The lapse Of time does nothing te
lessen or modify the sad reality Of the latt
battle, which cost the Federal army ten thou
sand e6srtsse troops. Blame, wicked and infa
nous, belongs to the officer OF officers respon
sible for the great calamity, and the blop
should fall on the guilty party.
