WASHINGTON, Sept 2l.-About five hun

the capitol The wounds are for the greater
part slight
One of the reporters of the associated press
who visited the rebel hospitals on the battle
field says he there saw large quantities OF
medicines, which had been captured from our
army in previous conflicts, the labels desig-
mating the original ownership. The wounded
of both sides were on the best possible friend
ly terms, and freely discussed the merits OF
the former as well as the last battles.
Visiting the place where the dead OF both
sides lay, he noticed that while the pockets OF
our men were turned out, having been emp
tied of their contents, those Of the rebels were
generally undisturbed. The haversacks Of
the dead rebels contained nothing but crack
ers, with the exception, occasionally, Of ears
of corn.
