few days ago a Communication appeared
in the Cincinnati Commercial censuring our
surgeons for Deglecting the wounded, which
i not only very unjust but Is very erroneous.
The material for this attack grew out OF the
ramor that the orderly of Co. ID. 9Th Indiana
had been neglected on the 18th. when wound
ed near the residence OF widow Mitchell
Tho truth in relation to this matter il just
this ! was az the house above alluded TO
when this man was brought in and know
that bis wound Was dressed as soon as p0ssi-
bile. but il i true he had to lay at this house
three or four hours before an ambulance
could be had TO convey him to the rear.
Finally one was procured Of the 23d army
corps. and he was sent TO the rea The fact
= of his remaining here three or four hours
could make no difference after his wound
had been dressed, for, il he bad even re
NAMED there two weeks he would have beer
, taken care OF just As we'll. az where he !
= now. can see no sense in creating an ex-
citoment about such frivolous matters. when
70 the truth is. Drs. Wier aud Schel:. are a

'o any surgeons now in the service. Like 9th
era. they necessarily labor under many dis
VI advantages when on duty ia the front. an

here. for. Il IS impossible to get feed enoug
for our horses while we have To keep thel
going night and day. Under this unavoid
able division the field officers command

and Maj. W. W. Carter. with the dismoun
ed. while Col James Riddle commands a
Brigade. The dismounted keeps pretty We
up with us when We are not on the NOV
often within one half mile.
