Mr. Russell, Corresponding Secretary of the Relief association
has received a letter from Dr. Maxwell, dated at Savannah, May 2d, in which he
says he has kept a complete register of all things done, and has his report up
to the time Dr. Gamble entered the U. S. service, April 24th, ready, and will
forward it at the earliest moment. The
Dr. says there are 1,000 sick and wounded at Savannah, 5,000 at Pittsburg
Landing, and 3,700 at Hamburg; of this number there are not less than 600
Iowans. The army is advancing two or
three miles per day.
