Wounded Western Troops

NEW YORK, May 21. – Quite a number of wounded soldiers of Western States troops including Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana, have recently arrived in this city from the army.  In the absence of any state agents in this city, Col. Frank E. Howe, of the Massachusetts agency, has taken them in charge, and had their wounds properly attended to, their wants supplied, and provided them with transportation to their homes, after being kindly tended and care for at the New England Rooms.  The agent of New York State declined to furnish them with transportation.
