2OOag@NtoVNDED.--h BooQ many more OF QUE
wounded soldiers arrived yesterday by the Jack
son Railroad They seem anxious to get home-in
many instances, we fear, but to die among their
relatives. Among them must be many who do not
live in the city, and are their way to the coun-
try parishes. It would be noble act, both of pa.
triosm and charity, to to the comfort Of these
gallant men while detained waiting for means Of
conveyance. Many Of them are probably without
money and without friends. In such circumstances,
they should be made to feel that everybody is their
friend. 5s{fs
