The Daily Dispatch: November 7, 1862., [Electronic resource], Interesting Narrative of the Escape of Hurlbut from Richmond. (search)
Arrival of disabled Confederate soldiers. --A Yankee steamboat arrived at Alken's Landing on Wednesday night, with seventy wounded and disabled Confederate soldiers, mostly taken in the late battle of Sharpsburg, Md. Such of them as had been brought up yesterday and placed in the hospitals here, report kind treatment on the part of the ladies of Baltimore and other places through which they passed in Maryland. Facilities for promptly removing wounded men from Alken's to Richmond is still badly needed, where the poor soldier, unable to help himself, is compelled to endure much suffering in consequence of delay in his removal.
