Wounded from North Carolina.
We
have received, (from Surgeon Gen. Johnson we suppose) a catalogue containing a
list of the wounded from this State in the battle of Richmond, from June 26th, to July
1st, 1862. The Surgeon
General states that besides the regular corps, a large number of Surgeons are
in regular attendance at the several Hospitals, and agents from the State depot
visit and distribute supplies to our wounded soldiers daily, while the ladies
of Richmond are diligently employed, doing all in their power to alleviate
their sufferings. The number of names in
this list is 3,468, though a great many who remained in brigade hospitals or
who were taken to private houses are not enumerated. Hospital stores, poultry, vegetables,
&c., are needed, which may be directed to the North
Carolina depot, Richmond
Va., care of Claiborne Watkins,
agent.
