THE WOUNDED ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE.
UI'VKH FROM DR. KING, THE MKDIC'AI. DIRECTOR ON
GENERAL M'DOWELL'S STAFF.
to thb editor of tbs Mtw york uzrai.p.
Baitimorb, August 9,18<S1.
After twenty four years of army life, twenty two of
Which have been spent on the citreme frontier, I Ond my*
elf, for the first time, the .subject of a wanton and unloaded
attack in your editorial, for the manner I performed
My duty as Medical Director of the Depart meat of North astern
Virginia. By referring to the report of the tieueral
ommandmg it will be seen that he states that all his
?tn(T did everything in their power, and 'provided for tlio
Iroope the best the circumstances admitted." The writer
f the article must, I think, have been ignorant of the
difficulties to be encountered, and the exertion* made to remove
them, so far as could be done by a medical officer who
t>M no military command out of his own corps. It was
act Intended to bring all the medical supplies on the bailie
field, but to leave them at Centreville, from whence,
had we been victorious, as the distance was only seven
mites, in two hours after the battle we could have had
them on the ground.
Br. Magruder end myself had provided an ample supply
dressings, stores and stimulants for the immediate re"
bef of the wounded, which w is used on the occasion by
alL Four days before wo marched I made a requisition
tor twenty wagons, in addition to our ambulances, for
ibe purpose of enabling the medical officers to bring with
them everything they wanted. This General McDowel'
approved. and ordered Captain Tillm^hast to furnish
tbem. This officer told me he thought lie could get them
In time, but owing to the great pressure on the Quarter oaftter's
Department he failed to do so. I then directed
the medical officers to carry all they could for the sick in
Ibe ambulances and in the company baggage wagonsflits
was done. Anxious, however, to provide for the
wounded beyond all contingency, so soon as I arrived
U Centreville I informed the Surgeon General of our
Mure wants, stating how much the synij atliies
r tho people or the whole country were oxcited to secure
the piopcr attention for our wounded men,and that I was
/ desirous that nothing should bo wanting on my part to
fulQl this expectation, and requesting him to forward at
once, without stmt, supplies of all kinds. This appeal
was responded to by the Surgeon General, who informed
me Unit what I wanted would bo forwarded to Fairfax
nation the next day. If. then, wo had not been defeated
we should have had in a day or two everything
usually foi.nd in a well organized hospital available for
our men at Bull run. As it wag, wo had all that was
absolutely necessary to make the wounded comfortable,
If we had not been driven from the field. Our army hn-l
never been defeated before, and this produced a state of
things widely different from all previous cxjieriencc,
which those who llnd fault are go much disposed to overlook
My sympathies throughout the action were much extiied
by the sulferint's ol our wounded, aud I looked forward
to aid them with han't nnd heart aftor tho battle
was over, but this was denied mo without I had decided
to remain a prisoner nnd thus withdraw myself from all
farther service during tho war. It did nut becomo mo to
peak of my personal exertions for the wounded in my renori.

therefore said no mure than was uccessary to place tho
enbjecl properly before the tieuiral conim&ivling in the
briefest manner possible. All 1 have mentioned in this
I*per is a matter of record, and enn bo verified, anil w ill
bow, I think, that instead of beiiitf to blame, I had
done all in my power to meet the wants of our wounded
aoldiers?''tho best tho clrcumstpwes admitted." It
must bo remembered that medical officers have no military
control except in their own corps, and therefore they
cannot, from this cause, always get what they want.
Vnt.'ss, therefore, the medical director is to be held accountable
for the defeat of our army, I esunot see how,
In common justice, he should bo censurable for ercnls be
yood hii power to control. w. s. K1N<;,

Sure enough Mrs. Lincoln did not arrive yesterday, ,UI
Jusl aa I prophetied, and still we were not without Pri
our little excitement. We gave a maaked ball, at which a rcI
bogus Mrs. Lincoln was present, and in order to make as- m,!
surance of her being here doubly sure, her name was 1,0
placed in glory upon the register, with the numbers of th<
her rooms. From the excitement which this imitation ^
Mrs. president produced one can judge of the sensation
which wilTlJe cliised i?y t^e arrival o? 'ho genuine lady. P'*
A great many people believed that she had 8?'
really arrived, and camo over from the Mansion House, 'n '
the Metropolitan and the other hotels in crowds and in '
spite of the weather. But tli? wiseacres'were not to bo 1,11
thus deceived. There, ui>ou the register, wns the entry?r" 'or
"Mrs. Lincoln and suite, 131?135;" but whore was tho ?t"
suite? Where was Mrs. Grimbsy? Where were Generals tril
Sandford and Walbrldge, thoso martial heroes whoso gay, UP"
nodding plumes were to overshadow the barouche or lwr ,e'
Excellency? (I suppose oue may call the President's lady BUI
Excellency.) Where wu Woods, the purveyor, the spe.
cial contractor fur special trains? und how could Mrs. Lincoin
arrive without them?
Well, we had our fancy ball, nevertheless. A great w'
crowd thronged the parlors and the halls and made a long " J
double line of spectators, which led to the diuing room
where the ball was given. Through this line, the sub' ma
jects of all sorts of renmrks and criticisms, friendly
and unfriendly, passod the self-devoted masquers, feel- M
ing uncomfortable beneath their masks, and looking as
awkward us they felt in Phillip's gaudy suits. (>f course ro1
there were exceptions to this remnrk: but 1 have often Pu
noticod'that the stiff, uncomfortable look of tho masquers '''
Is one of the greatest attractions and pleasing sights of a ni'
masquerade ball to an outsider. iUf
There went Romeo and Juliet, courtiers of Louis XIV. nn,
and Charles II.. Night and the Maid of the Mist, nuns and ,
holy friars. Mexicans and Spaniards, devils and angels? I

and vuricd throng?all promenading around a
square, cold room, adorned with several gaslights,
which went out while the ball went on?and a grand we
colored band, which eclipsed Jullien's?talking, laughing, g0i
whispering, shaking hands cordially with people whom
they ucver saw, mistaking friends for foes and one per
I sou for another. TM?- pic i-am throng filled the room ami on
uiinglcd in h most brilliant kaleidoscopic variety of forms, no
characters mid colors,
Then oume the Oaucliur, ami tho choice of partners nfforded
infinite scope for thought and merriment. Here a Ni
devil had hold of a nitu?the old story. There n l'riar i>,
ehiisseed gravely to a funny little gipsy?as monks used to
do sometimes. Tender lloUMO tinned a fancy breakdown,
and there a clown was forgetting his own charactur tu
and makir.g a fool of a tlownr girl: hero .Ic.ilot sipped 1

at Verona?.?and near her was Satan retailing himself, havlng
been deprived of his c?'.;dat appfntla^e by the foot of or
Japanese Tommy, who was attracted?like tie original? Wj
by the Lull's. .
What can lx> Mid more? There were no rich dresses to
describe?that of Juliet?a white silk, with an ever- fat
skirt of lace?being the most recherche. .As for the Ai
costumes, Romeo's was the moBt magnitlcont, but almost
all were familiar to New York eyes, and It was no small
part of the fun to recull the situations in which one had "n
seen Iheee dresses before. The |>arty danced and danced;
masks were soon discarded; dominoes and disguises ,
dropjied; dress conts were in the ascendency, and by midnight
the ball had become like ail balls, and it ended like tli
all. to tho satisfaction of all concerned. That satisfaction pr
praises tho management better than anything 1 can
write.
Mrs. Lincoln must certainly ho coming now,forGrnn,

what a very minut" circumstance slarts her a gosnlpping, L
and how little that p'ssip amounts to alter nli, the thing
is as plain well, as plain as wc think the belhj of an opposition

Pending thes0'?ensati0i?al arrivals we had, last evening,
the excitement of a brilliant torrnainent betw< on lil
M&srs. Phelan and Kavanagh, at the parlors of the Me of

with a very brilliant .Tbdienc, among lo
wh'rni were Archbishop Hughes and his W
suite, Signer Rrlgnoli and any number of finely pi
dressed ladles?each of the hotels sending its handsomest of
representatives. The game was not very exciting, and al
Kavanagh easily won by over one hundred in Uve bun- w
dred points. The weather had so acted upon the se
ckitli of the table, and had made tho ballB 30 p<
sticky that it was impossible to make anything like a
spl'ndld shot. Kavanagh managed to show us his M
ma'se shots, a la rterger, after many attempts, and
several broken cues, and so the exhibition ended. lairing w
the day, bowevor, Archbishop Hughes and Mr. Phelan
bad several very inueli finer games, and the Archbishop tj
really gave the Ki:.g of Billiards a very close match.

Wc continue to import very few foreign Rood*, (
>d to export our own produce freely. Last ,
eek our imports barely < onc-flftli of those
the corresponding week last year, and one-si>rth
those i f the corresponding week of 186'J. They
.re actually only equal to one-half our exporlH,
Ke'.usivc of sperio. As a genital rule, as every one
uov.s, New York e.xports one-third the total exoris
of tl.e country, hut leceivcH two-thirds the
nports. This year there is every reason to believe
lat our exports will amount to as much as our
uports, notwithstanding the non-export of coin,
ranee is known to be short of food, and though
ie lirili-li harvest proves better than last year's,
real Pritain will still require more wheat and
iirn than the Baltic and Mack Seas can supply.

An increase in the bank reserve of coin is anticiated
to-morrow, the Mint having Bent forward a
irther supply, while the banks have been subject
) no drain. Last Monday the average of coin
lown was ?46,1!2G,181, a decrease of $071,540 from
ie previous wwk. Thin average, which was conderably
below what was expccted, was nnjubtcdly
a vising one. The Hub-Treasury lost
,oney during the week, the balance yesterday
andiug at $5,629,011 against $6,681,935 at the
i0?e of the previous week. It seems probable
wit the loans will show a further decrease to-niorow,
though much dej>cnds on the- operations of the
unks in the new Treasury notes. The tendency
I business is toward contraction anu liquidation,
o man of nny prudence is giving out his notes at
ic present time, and every one who can
ay is paying at least a part If not the whole
r Ins paper as it matures. Hie volume of
usiness paper under discount at tlio bank*
1U3 diminishes daily; the diminution would
c more rapid if nil the jobbers could pay thcli
ute.s. Nothing but the issues of government
aper enable the banks *o earn interest on their
npjUil. The loans average made up last Monday
'as $111,719,111, a decrease of $592,721 from tho
eek previous. At this time last year the banks
eld $22,128,189 in coin, and their discounts
veraged $130,118,217.
The money market is quite Jul!. There is no first
lass paper offered tor sale, and even the boldest
mong the biwers of notes begin to look shyly at
>cond class names. The failure of ClafUn, Mcllsn
Co., in spile of the tremendous effort* which
ere made to sustain them, lms taught capitalists
jat this is a crisis unprecedented in our history,
nd that no one can tell how far its effects may
ot reach. The dry goods dealers report that editions
are failing in every part of the country;
rat they are as bad in the East and in the West
s in the South. There is, of course, much exggeratjon
in this, and we are led to believe
tiat some parts of the West a?e paying up with
try fair promptitude. Still there is no doubt but
(k? general derangement of trade, and the low
rices of breadstuff's, operate unfavorably on Westrn
collections. It is to be hoped that the event
rill have a tendency to check sales on long credits
ereatter. Call loans are very cheap. Parties are
orrowiog at 4 per cent on Treasury notes and
ther approved securities; the bankers are making
)ans on very small margins indeed on Central and
ne or two other stocks of like character. Some of
bo established houses refuse to take mency on deosit^at
a higher rate than three perccnt.
Foreign exchange declined during the week, the
itest quotations for bankers' bills being about
07% for sterling and 5.80 for franrs. A few merantilc
bills are in market at about 106% a 107 for
terling and 5.32% a 6-.3S for francs. There is very
ttle business doing, both demand and supply be?goa
a very limited sc^e. fiapkera would lower
heir rates if they bud any rettHoa to believe that
ln'ir sales would be increased by coneeHnkmn; but
hey neem to be ol' the opinion that they are Belling
8 much at present rates as they would sell
t one per eeut decline. The tables above
tven explain the condition of the foreign
xehange market. For the firat tigko in our liiaary
the port of New York is paying for its iaperta
'ithout exporting specie. Importers are doing so
lode rate abnsiness that utu e x porta of food suply
all the bills that are requueu; especially as the
mbarrassmenta io the jobbing trad' incapacitate
iany importers from remitting wilt their usual
romptitude. The new tarilf T7ill Luvc a tendency
till further to check importable, and, so far as
an bo predicted at present, the prospcct is not
irorable for un advance or for an Increase of ac-*
vity in the exchange market.

There is very little doing in the Stock Exchange,
ugust iti always a dull month among the brokers,
ut this season it is quieter than usual. Jn<lging
om the operations of the past day or two, we
lould say that the bull party gained while the
cars lost adherents last week. The idea that the
ew Treasury notes are going to crcate an inllation
?eins to have frightened some of the more cautious
peratora for the fall and induced them to cover
tieir contracts. We sec no traces, as yet, of outide
business, or even of any vigorous buying on
peculation; these may, perhaps, come hereafter,
t must be admitted, however, that the railroads
re not making money, aud the slavo States are
ot paying their interest to Northern holdrs.
These facts are not encouraging to
nil operators, or calculated to tempt the
ublic to buy stocks. The civil war, however,
itroduccs a new element Into our stock operaions,
and for the time will override all other inllunces.
Successes in the Held are sure to cause
n advance in prices, while military reverses are
>s certain to produce a decline. Operators will,
herefore, speculate according to their opinions of
lie military prospect, and in some degree In acionlanoe
with their political predilections. Iteifiblicans
will naturally be buyers of stocks,
vhile Southerners and sympathizers with the
ebellion will as naturally be found among
ho hiMtra Wo <1n tint nt' cnnruo mr>nn tn untilv
lint all bulls are republicans, or nil bears
ympathiscrs with Jeff. Davis; but it is obvious
hat warm politicians will be guided in some decree
by their politic al affinities in taking their side
11 the operations ol' the Stock Exchange.
The Secretary of the Treasury arrived in town
in Friday morning lor the purpose ?f conferring
ivith the leading city bankers on the subject of the
orthcoming war loans. lie will remain until Tueslay.
Several conferences have been held between
iiiH and the bai.kers, but us jet nothing has been
leterinincd. It is understood that Mr. Chase wants
;?ur banks to take $15,000,000 of 7 3-10 percent
l'rcusury notes at par, New Knghftid to take
?10,000,000 and I'hiliuli Iphin iS,000,(!(i0 of the same;
he also desires the banks to receive on deposit, ae
cash, his small Treasury notes, which bear no interest,
but are redeemable in coin, en I'cinniid. A
rumor prevailed yesterday to the ' IH i t that the
banks had agreed to these ternis. It was, bowever,
without foundation. Nothing was done at
the adjourned meeting beyond the iippoietment ol
a committee of bankers, who are to report tomorrow
morning. The members of the committee
are Mcssrv. Ktu??'tiu Tiiylnr. I 'nunc 11. Tiles ton.

We notice, by an advertisement of Messrs. White
house, Son & Mr.rison, in another column, tl;a
they are prepared to deal in tJ:e; e notes, and im
doubt to give holders the money for them at a ecr
tain discount; the two year ^ix per cmls and ;k<
(i! 1 ton and twelve per cent notes itre freelj
dealt in at tlie Block Kxcliungc. In courn
of time they will be generally bought ant
sold by bankers and broker?, and if the go
vernment is moderately successful in the field
those which bear interest will undoubtedly paw
current at par, and the demand notes will en
ter into. general circulation as a currency. Tin
country is quite ripe for the introduction of a ne>\
and uniform currency. Our internal commerce haf
always suffered Ironi the variety and uncertainty o
the paper currencies which have been issued bj
the banks of each locality. Just now, especially
that commerce is gravely embarrassed by the de
preciation of the Western currency occasioned
by the heavy decline in the slave Htnti
stocks which were lodged Vo secure it
The West will gladly take and abs orb twenty t(
thirty millions of Treasury notes, redeemable ii
coin, and, in coarse of time, as many more can bi
floated in this scction of the country. It would bi
the greatest boon imaginable if the- governmen
could distribute one hundred millions of tlics
Treasury notes throughout the country, and s
drive out of circulation the uncertain and variou
bank notes which are now used in trade, and b
means of which bank financiers levy a tax froi
one to five per cent on the interna! commerc
of tlie country.
