Tie Louisiana. came down tue river yesterday
with about 100 sick and wounded, released by tho
Rebel auho tiles. Another correspondent Will fur
nish you with the particulars Of the trip, aud LIST
OF those on board
For the following interesting facts and for TIC
appended list ] an. indebted 10 Dr. W. IL. White Of
Wilmington Del, Brigade-Surgeon On Matindales
staff who, with other surgeons, voluntarily remained
with our w Junded the field Of Galness Mill, and
wss ordered nv toe Confederate authorities 10 take
charge of II The sick and wounded left on the east
side Of the thickabominy.
The day after the bate, the whole Rebel force
that participated IN it moved back up the Cbcka-
honny, with the evident design Of crossing at tho
nearest available point. The movement wac IN great
haste. Us though they were fearful we would strike
with our concentrated force immediately in frcnt,
while large proportion OF their force should 10
GU, off by the river.
The houses used by our surgeons as hospitals
dunng the engagement, were continued as such, an-
der the came charge, during the two days occupied
in oathering our wounded from the Held. The sur
Qeous who voluntarily remained, and PERM ted
to attend orr men, were: DR.. White, Brigade sur
geon, Martndale's staff; DE-. Bently, Brigade sur.
geon, Butterields staff; DIR. Palmer OF The ID
Maine; Dr.. Miner OF the .sld Massachusetts; DR..
Prince of the I'D Massachusetts; Dr.. Fauikner OK
the SD Pennsylvania.
On Sunday, june 90, DR.. White found the bodies
of Col. McLane and Major Nag zee OF the sd Penn
sylyania, and Capt. Fersusono OF the 10Th New-York
and had them buried In one grave. The labor Oh
bringing in the wounded and burying the dead was
very great and tue number of men detailed Tor the
purpose inadequate. Notwithstanding the numbers
Of Rebel dead taken to Richmond, those buried on
the field were in excess Of ours.
On Wednesday, I'd inst, they commenced moving
the wounded To Richmond, ACROSS the country,
and Others to Savages Station, thence by railroad.
Dr. White bad az interview with Gen. Wnder,
Who learning that the former was from q Slave
State. fell into passion, and expressed desire TO
hang every Marylander Or DelawareAn who should
be found fighting with the 4" rederals. Congress
man Criseld Of Mary land was an object OF his par.
ticular wrath.
At length, the Doctor was taken under guard, 20
one of The large tobacco warehouses described IN
Sir. Ely book, and told he light attend on the
crowded inmates, but since his Instruments and
medicines had been taken from him, little could 10
done.
With him were Doctors Bently, Palmer, Prince,
and Faulkner. DR.. Bently is the ranking ohcer,
bur DR.. White WAS ordered 10 take charge, ana inc
others assiluously aided him. He esPesipiy COM
