risiced upon the altar Of our country q liberty
During the day, large numbers Of gallant
wounded were brought in and assigned to the
various hospitals, and with mingled pride and
pleasure we witnessed the kind attention
shown them by our citizsns--some dressing
wounds, some feeding the hungry, some with
soothing cordiss cooling parched ips, whilst
ever present were those angel female forms,
