Sick And Wounded Soldiers Coming Here

Messrs. Kynett and Russell yesterday afternoon received a dispatch from Mr. Gifford, telling them to prepare to receive three hundred sick and wounded.  An answer was immediately returned to send them along.  The Executive Committee of the Relief Association met last evening from the purpose of taking action on the subject.  There will probably be a boat-load of wounded here next week.
