Help for the Wounded

CINCINNATI, April 9.

A boat has been commissioned to take physicians, nurses and stores to the scene of the battle in Tennessee.  A meeting at the Chamber of Commerce was held and a committee of five appointed to take subscription to buy food and other necessaries for the wounded, and a large amount was raised in an hour.  Capt. Dickson is authorized to pay for the boat.  The committee appointed by the Chamber of Com. will go to Columbus to-night to urge the Legislature to make an appropriation to charter other boats and procure necessary supplies.  It is probably that three or four boats will leave here this week for Tennessee.  A large number of nurses have offered their services.
