Preparing for the wsunAea

Mayor Crcei had his hands full yester
day In making preparations for the wound
ed. He took the Estes House, and set
men and women to work cleaning up the
rooms, which had not been cleaned since
they were phstered. Orders were given
for making cots, beds, &c, and every
thing done that could be done. A large
number Of gentlemen and ladies yolnn-
teered their services and the work was
got well under way. This will be one of
the busiest days ever seen in Keokuk. -
The wounded are expected to arrive to-
night, though we believe no definite word
in regard to them was received yesterday.
Efforts were made to telegraph to the Gov.
ernor at Cairo, but the line was down in
Illinois, and thus we are left In state Of
uncertainty But everything will be
done that can be done to make good pre-
paratio-s for the soldiers.

Suffering Of the wounded, |,

WASHINGTON, Sept l5.--Some 200 wounded
in the recent battles of Bull Run ore at the hos.
pital at the Van Pelt House, about 2 miles from
the battle field. They were under Dr., John s,
Jameson, Seth Regiment New. York Volunteers.
The suffering Of these soldiers vas very severe,
left without food of any kind for two or three
days, none reaching them from our lines not
withstanding the almost superhuman efforts of
our Government, and none was furnished by
the Rebels although proper rsqrisision was
handed in by the Surgeon in charge as their
own instigation. All the food that could b
procured from the adjoining farmers was par-
chased at exorbitant rates BY Dr.. Jameson. Men
enough of our army remained behind to take
care of our wounded, but with the exception of
nine they were all marched away Sunday morn
ing % prisoners under protest. All that could
be effected to relieve the necessities of tho
wounded was promptly done. Our surgeons and
nurses worked day and night After several
days Of want, suppliesin limited quantities were
