Arrangements for the Wounded

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., April 25.

The steamer Black Hawk left Quincy last night for the Tennessee river, completely fitted up by Gov. Yates to receive 400 wounded Illinois soldiers, in the event of another battle near Corinth. She also takes up large quantities of supplies for hospitals in that vicinity. Gov. Yates will dispatch several other boats on the same errand, as soon as they can be fitted out.
