A surgeon present made a little speech, setting forth the superfluity of the man date, inasmuch as the wounded men were not to be removed until the following morning About half a dozen doctors were at the ball. A telegram had been sent from Hilton, Head to Beaufort, an hour and a half before the boat arrived, to prepare the hospitals for the sufferers on the Cosmopolitan, and to have ambulances in readiness on the docks Nevertheless no transportation was at hand to take away the wounded for three quarters of an hour after the boat arrived.

his division, after having rendered the most gallant service in the battle of the 4th, in the Wilderness, was thrown into confusion on the morning of the 5th, under the circumstances described by our correspondent, "Sallust," whose letter appeared yesterday.
