The Washington Intclligencer publishes the

"The individual experiences Of respectable
citizen Of Washington, who was volu ,tecr

ground of Friday and Saturday, beyond Bull
Run"
! left Washington on Sunday morning at
| | o'clock, in company with large passenger
train Of volunteer physicians and nurses. At
Alexandria the doctors were requested % re.
main. think the greater proportion Of the
civilians in the train also went no further. A
number, however, proceeded on tho train Of
box and platform ears. The greater part of
these left at Halifax Station, and probably re.
turned by the next train to Washington. We
left the train at Bull Run Bridge, and went on
foot through Union Mills Station to Centrevillc,
arriving there at 10 o'clock at night on Sunday.

Director MCFARLAND 10 bring in the wounded
from the field. Some sixty volunteer civilians
were thus engaged. We brought in about three
hundred to the Surgeons headquarters, being
more than sufficient to fill the ambulances
provided. Many wounded were also carried on
stretchers from the woods, and fields 10 points
on the roadside where the ambulances might
conveniently reach them. The amhulanccs and
several baggage e.wagons were filed on Monday
evening with the wounded who had received
surgical attention, numbering about two humid
red and fitty-leaving about fifty at the Sur
unprovided for. The number of wounded
scattered over the field to whom no succor has
been extended were estimated by a Surgeon
who left on Wednesday morning at two thou

probably be nearer the number.
After much delay, in taking the patrol of the
wounded in the train, and of sixty or seventy
wounded who were able to walk, the train pro-
cseded to Centreville, arriving there about 4

Gen. Stonewall Jackson's headquarters, about
FIVE miles distant, where we arrived at o'clock
P. NJ. After some two hours delay, the party
in charge of the train received from Gen. Jack
son a pass through the Confederate lines, and
we wended our way slowly back to Centrevillc,
over rough, dark road, at great expense OF
suffering to the wounded, reaching there at
about 12 o'clock OF night There we encamped,
aud distributed some soup, coffee and brandy,
to the wounded. These supplies we received
from the rebels, who had captured, (as we were
informed by one Of our surgeons, who had re-
mained at Centreve, in charge of the wounded
there,) forty,onc wagon loads Of our hospital
supplies. AS Tuesday night was cold, we Dor,
