The Wounded President.

WASHINGTON, July . 5-h-5:30 A. NJ.
Colonel Rockwell, who watched at the
Presidents bedside since A. NJ, says that
the President slept considerably during the
night at intervals, enjoying hearty two
hours of undisturbed sleep at a time. When
awake the President showed disposition to
talk, bat this was discouraged by the watchers.
Colonel Rockwell, who has been at the
Presidents bedside more or less every night
since he received his injury, thinks the sleep
enjoyed by the President last night was less
fittul and more beneficial than his slumbers
during any of the past three nights.

FOURTH DISPATCHI
WASHINGTON, July 5th.-The President
this morning expresses himself as compara-
lively comfortable. The spasmodic pains in
his lower extremities have entirely disap-

muscular soreness and tenderness to the
touch. There is leas tympanites, and no alb
dominal tenderness whatever. except in the
hepatic region. Since P. NJ. yesterday he
has taken an ounce and half Of chicken
broth every two hours, and has re-
tanned it all. The wound was again
dressed antiseptically this morning. Alto
gether but one half grain of morphine has
been administered dhyperdermically during the
last "a hours, and it has been found beneficial.
The physicians nearly all agree that the turn
ing point may possibly occur to-day. The
bulletin issued this morning is, in view of the
unfavorable turn affairs took yesterday after
noon and evening, one Of the most favorable
that has appeared.
