This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, e d is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

to the breeze, serve as a warning to their survivors
against undue exertion. Along this same road
wade wearily forward the long files of recruits or of
returning convalescen is on their way to the front,
up to their knees in slime, with little prospect of
having dry feet for a week to come, as the heavens
seem permanently to have dissolved in liquid, and
camp-fires under such circumstances are all but im-
possible. Need I say that fever and ague, dysentery
and pneumonia, are rife among the Confederates and
among the hapless Federals who face them? And
yet the indications still are that neither Gen. Bragg
nor his opponent contemplate an immediate move
on a large scale. It is true that the condition of the
roads is such as greatly to impede locomotion ; but
this difficulty might be mitigated by dividing the
waggons and sending them along several different
roads. It is the concentration of waggons upon the
Chicamanga road which has reduced it to its pre-
sent fearful condition.
But if the waggon road is appalling, let not the
traveller imagine that his troubles are at an end
when he gets to the railroad. At present the main
and most important function of this railroad is to
carry provisions and ordnance to Bragg's army.
Travellers are clearly a nuisance not to be encoura
aged under the circumstances. Accordingly, at the
little wooden shanty which is dignified with the
name of " Chicamauga Station," let no one expect
to find a passenger car, distributed into those low-
backed seats which suit the American taste, but are
execrated by all Europeans. A long line of box cars,
much resembling one of Pickford's freight trains in
England, but individually much larger and dirtier, are
in waiting,and in one of them you may consider your-
self lucky if you can lay your blanket on the floor,
and escape under shelter from the cold pelting rain.
As to the question whether you will start in one
hour, in six, or in 12, it argues great inexperience
in Confederate railroad travelling if you exhibit any
inquisitiveness on the subject. You will be told
there is no "schedule" or time table according to
which locomotion is directed, but the trains are said
to be "running wild"—which means that so soon
as a train arrives at Chicamauga, and it suits the con-
venience of its conductor to start again for Atlanta,
s careless hhe " puts out," trusting to the steam-whistle
of the engine and to the enormous lamp which

tion is to make the Federal tenure of Chattanooga
during the winter without Lookout Mountain an im-
possibility. But if lam not mistaken, he will have to
fight somewhere, or to relax his grip on the moun-
tain. Your readers will have learnt, long before the
arrival of this letter, thatGen.Rosencranz has joined
the noble army of decapitated Federal generals, and
that Gen. Grant now reigns in his stead. A month
ago I should have thought that the loss of Gen.
Rosencranz to the Federals was tantamount to the
gain by the Confederates of the two great victories
in the field; but, considering his inexplicable
strategy before the battle of Chicamauga, and his
manifebt want of ability as regards handling his
troops on the battlefield, it is hard to maintain that
the prevailing opinion about him held in the Con-
federate army by every one except Gen. Bragg, and
which likens him to Gen. Pope, is not correct. The
substitution of Gen. Grant makes it more than ever
likely that the communication with Chattanooga
from the west—by the railroads which inn from
Nashville and Memphis to Stevenson (close to Bridge-
port), and meeting there, sweep on together to Chat-
tanooga—will, if possible, be forcibly opened by the
Federals. For some time past one corps of Gen.
Grant's army has been busily engaged in repairing
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, which has
long been unavailable to either belligerent, and by
which Grant obviously desires to throw Federal
reinforcements in from the Mississippi River. A
body of Confederate cavalry, under Gene: al Stephen
D. Lee, have done their utmost to obstruct the
Federal labourers, and but for another move of
General Grant's, there is reason to think the efforts of
General Stephen D. Lee would have been seconded
by the army of General Joseph E. Johnston, which
would have moved up from Enterprise, in Mississippi,
with this object. But in order to engage General
Johnston's attention, General Grant instructed
another corps of his army—that commanded by

has had the best of it; but whether the latter has
cleared the country of the Federals sufficientl y to
admit of his going northwards and joining Stephen
D. Lee, lam unable to say. Another indication
that the Federals are in earnest about connecting
Chattanooga with the Mississippi River may be
found in the fact that they are steadily persevering
in rebuilding the bridge across the Tennessee at
Bridgeport, a long and massive structure, which was
destroyed long ago by General A. Sydney Johnson
when he fell back from Bowling-green before the
battle of Shiloh. Altogether it seems to me pro-
bable that General Bragg will have to fight
another great battle before Christmas upon ground
somewhere between his present position and Bridge-
port. In addition to General S. D. Lee's cavalry
there is another large body of Confederate horse-
men somewhere in Northern Alabama, which has
recently returned from its successful ride under
General Wheeler round Rosencranz's rear, and which
will make itself again felt before long. The disposi-
tion of the Western Federal forces since the decapi-
tation of Rosencranz is, if I am not mistaken, some-
thing as follows: —At Vicksburg, and operating
towards Canton, is the corps of General Macpher-
son; along the line of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad are two heavy divisions—one of them,
General Sherman's, engaged in protecting the work-
men who are repairing the line; at Stevenson, in
Alabama, an important point, being, as I have
said, the junction of the two railroads from
Nashville and Memphis, and a kind of depot for
the army at Chattanooga, is General Hooker,
with at least one, or, as some think, two Federal
corps; at Chattanooga is General Thomas, with,
in all probability, at least four corps under him ;
at London, halfway between Knoxville and Chat-
tanooga, is a small force of Yankees, which has
lately suffered the loss of 700 prisoners by a suc-
cessful dash on them of Confederate cavalry under
Colonel Dibrell ; at Knoxville is General Burnside,
with probably two corps under him. The disposi-
tion of Western Confederate forces exhibits the
large army of General Bragg, which faces General
Thomas in Chattanooga ; it exhibits also General
Johnston at Enterprise, acting against Macpherson,
and General Samuel Jones in Western Virginia,
acting against Burnside. It seems tolerably cer-
tain that no serious move will be made by either
party in the immediate neighbourhood of Chatta-
nooga, but that the points of collision will most
likely be in the neighbourhood of Stevenson and of
London. But during the last month I have seen so
clearly the difficulties which beset an advancing
army on either side in such a country:that it is im-
possible not doubly to regret that an opportunity
such as the battle of Chicamauga offered to the
Confederates, and which would, if rightly seized,
have disposed of half their embarrdssments, should
have been so deplorably thrown away. That great
efforts will be made by the Federals to hold the line
of the Tennessee River from Knoxville to Bridge-
port, and the line of the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad from Bridgeport to the Mississippi River,
will bo palpable to all who are at the pains of
casting a glance at a good map. If the war be
terminated upon the titi possidetis principle, the
possession of this line will assign to the Federals

and with all the pieces taken from their

which cannot fall greatly short of 1,000
more, it is
obvious that the loss of copper, needed for the
manufacture of their favourite 12 pounder Napoleon
gun, will not be severely felt by the Confederates,
even though it should prove permanent.
I was surprised to find, during my recent visit to
General Bragg's camp, unmistakeable evidence that
the field artillery of the Western Confederate army
is superior to that of the army recently commanded
by General Rosencranz. Among the 50 guns cap-
tured by the Confederates at Chicamauga there is a
large number of 6 pounders, which have long ago
been condemned by the Confederate ordnance
authorities as too small for field service, and which
have altogether disappeared from General Lee's
army in Virginia. A few 6 pounders are still in
the service of General Bragg's army, but they
have almost disappeared, and are being replaced
by the 12 pounder Napoleon. Probably by next
spring the 6 pounders will have been altogether
banished from the Confederate armies, and will be
found doing duty along the banks of the Mississippi,
a service for which their lightness admirably adapts
them. I was struck by the superior organisation of
the artillery in General Lee's as compared with
that in General Bragg'lst 4,orue_theat upojt,
neither ilde Res—ile artillery been so great a feature
in these 'Western battles as it has in the battles of
Virginia. But the organisation and distribution of
the artillery, not into batteries of four or six guns,
hut into battalions, which comprise four or five bat-
teries, or, in other words, 20 guns, has worked ad-
mirably in Virginia, and was, I believe, chiefly the
result of General Longstreet's advice. The battery
organisation is still retained in General Bragg's
army, except in that portion of it which is under
the command of General Longstreet. In General
Lee's army to each corps are assigned five bat-
talions of artillery, or, in round numbers, 100 guns,
whereof two battalions are held in reserve. It will
be imagined that in the gigantic battles of this con-
tinent, which extend over miles, and are contested
by enormous armies, very little effect is produced
by the opening of a battery of four or six guns. But
the simultaneous discharge of 18 or 20 guns in a
well chosen position has never failed to make itself
sensibly felt; and to a measure of this kind—l mean
the opening by General Buckner of 12 pieces upon
the Federal column, which during the battle of
Chicamauga was thrown from the Federal left to
the Federal right—General Longstreet mainly
attributes the success which he gained on that day.
I shall defer until my return to Richmond any
comments upon the recent operations by which
General Lee has run General Meade into his rat,
holes before Washington, and has broken up the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad (recently rebuilt
by the Federals) for many miles. But I may re-
mark, en passant, that October, 1863, does not seem
to have done more for the Federals than October,
1862, the first month which I passed within the
limits of the Confederacy. Inaction or retreat have'
been every where the characteristics of their warfare,
nor can it be shown that Gen. Gilmore is at this
hour one whit nearer to the reduction of Charleston
than he was 100 days ago. lam assured that the
defensive works upon Sullivan's Island have grown
as rapidly as the Federal works for offence upon Morris
Island, and not one man in the insurrectionary States
seems now to entertain any fears that Charleston,
even though burnt to the ground, will ever pass out
of the Confederate grasp. Huge reinforcements,
we are told, have joined the Federal armies in the
West, and they are trumpeted to the world in the
Northern journals as likely to make General Grant
invincible; but I have lately witnessed how silently,
steadily, and unostentatiously, Gen. Bragg's force
has been recruited, and I have more faith in an
army which boasts so little, but fights and endures
hardships so unflinchingly.
A long conversation with Colonel Rains, the
superintendent of the Government Powder Mills in
Augusta, and also the manager of the Arsenal of
Construction and of the Cannon Foundry in this city,
has taught me more than ever to admire the inge-
nuity and the energy which the Confederates have
brought to bear upon their struggle. Starting with-
out any powder mill in the Southern States, ex-
cept a small one at Nashville, which soon passed
out of their hands—without any large establish-
ments for making machinery, and without a single
trip hammer between the Chesapeake and the Rio
Grande—deficient in iron, lead, copper, tin, salt-
petre, cannon, small arms, and everything save
food, the Confederates have taught the world a
lesson in regard to the impossibility of subjugating
brave and high-spirited people, which will point
many a historical moral for centuries to come.
There are two men whose names are seldom heard
in connexion with the history of this war, bat who
have probably contributed more to the Confederate
success than any other persons, with the exception
of Lee, Jackson, and Longstreet—l mean Colonel
Rains and Captain Brooke. Both of them modest
and unobtrusive men, absorbed in scientific re-
searches, inexhaustible in the fertility of their
resources, indefatigable in energy, they have pre-
sented during the last 30 months a record for the
study of their countrymen which will everywhere
be read with profit whenever the history of this
great revolution is fully and fairly told. I have
seldom had the advantage of encountering 'any man
whose conversation was so instructive and interest-
ing as that of Colonel Rains. His recapitulation of
the difficulties which he has had to encounter, of
the deficiencies which he has every day to supple-
ment and circumvent by ingenuity, and of the
results of his work, as evinced by his contributions
to the Confederate armies, is such as to awaken
amazement. In a former letter written some months
ago from this town I gave a short sketch of the
Augusta gunpowder mill. From that time up to
the present hour its efficiency has been constantly
on the increase, and as evidence of its prolific work-
ing I may mention that since its opening on the
27th of April, 1862, Colonel Rains has sent a
million and a half pounds of powder to Richmond
alone, exclusive of his contributions to Vicksburg,
Charleston, Mobile, and the armies of Generals
Bragg and Johnston. From his Arsenal of Con-
struction he has sent out 6,000,000 cartridges for
small arms and 50,000 round shot and obeli, to
say nothing of caps, hand grenadesAand torpedoes.
From his cannon foundry he is continually turn-
ing out 12 pounder Napoleons, 20 pounder Parrots,
and howitzers; but the wealth of artillery already
possessed by the Confederates is such that he has
ceased to produce Napoleon guns with the

and with two other powder
mills in active operation, it is of little importance
that even this rate of production should be
maintained. The ordinary consumption of powder
in the Confederacy is rated at 2,0001 b. a day ; but
is, of course, greatly increased by such sieges as
those of Vicksburg and Charleston, which bring up
the average to 10,0001bs. a day, occasioned by the
large demands of the heavy artillery employed. It
is a singular commentary upon this war, that a
nation which two years ago produced not a pound
of ppwder, should nave think nothing of a daily
consumption of 10,0001 b., produced entirely from
their own resources, It io evident that obstacles

BLACKWOOD.--" The Boatman," by Pisistratus
Canton, is the first subject met with ; it has already
been discussed in our columns. "Tony Butler"
proceeds at some length, and becomes more enter-
taining. It is very ludicrous, when Sir Arthur
Lyle mistakes one man for another, and brings home
to dinner as the Count a very objectionable individual, and
the excitement occasioned by his presence is a good satire
on the actions of people who seem to do nothing but run
after lions, and make idols of certain individuals. Nor-
man Maitland goes on with his clever contrivances, and
hits upon a plan for Tony, which is remarkable for im-
pertinence and assurance. "Tyndall on Heat" is a sort
of scientific paper, that discusses Professor Tyndall's lec-
tures on the subject. The highest praise is awarded to
them, and the interesting facts that are contained in the
course of the lectures are duly commented upon; at
the same time, while expressing admiration for the
great amount of scientific matter that is met with,
some amusing criticism is entered into concerning the
peculiarity of some subjects treated upon in this able
work. Thus it is said that, "When we are told
that, to produce the impression of a violet colour,
there enter into the eye precisely 699 millions of mil-
lions of these waves of ether per second, we listen with
more of admiration than of faith." From the quotations
that are occasionally taken from the work in this article,
it is evident that those desirous of increasing their know-
ledge in this particular branch, cannot do better than pos-
sess themselves of the lectures, and to peruse them atten-
tively. " The Navies of England and France, from a
French Point of View," is a paper that is sure to attract
notice at this juncture, and which affords us a very good
insight into some of the views of our neighbours, which
knowledge it is all times most essential to gain. Notwith-
standing the ability, and also, to some extent, the impar-
tiality which pervade these pages, there creeps into the
inquiry occasionally some of that jealousy of feeling,
and disparaging tone of remark, which seem in
some sort inseparable from the writing of a foreigner.
Still it is from these captious remarks that the wise will
learn and the mistaken ones take head to the error of their
ways. Due credit is here given to the spirit which has
animated the writings of M. Raymond; and, indeed, it is
quite refreshing to meet with anything approaching to
candour or courtesy in the criticisms of a rival. M. Ray-
mond has the sense to appreciate and the manliness to ac-
knowledge the greatness of England in many respects, and
thus accord his tribute of praise where many might content
themselves with the declaration of the errors that exist in
the system adopted by a nation, while they withhold all re •
cognition of its merits. " Chronicles of Carlingford" brings
some striking scenes before us this time, and the reader's
patience will be severely taxed with the conduct of Jack,
who is indeed a despicable character. Stich men are the
pests of society, ever intent on their own ease, and caring
nothing for the comfort of ethers. It is a very amusing
scene in which the wily reprobate impeses upon his three
credulous old aunts, and affects the returning prodigal.
No wonder that poor Frank Wentworth was aghast at the
success of the imposition, and else in no small degree in-
dignant at the reflection upon himself which was imputed
to him by these zealous welcomers of the lost and found.
Affairs are becoming more complicated with regard to the
rest of the dranta4is persono, and this section of the
"Chronicles of Carlingford" bids fair to rank equally high
in the estimation of its readers as its predecessors. " Per-
sonal Identities" is one of those suggestive sketches that
one is glad to meet with now and then in the pages of a
magazine, and which seem to blend philosophy with fancy.
A clever idea is started in this article that a new series of
" Imaginary Conversations" might be written between the
"New Self" and " Old Self" of many persons. Certainly
it would be a startling sight to some to regard their
old figures, mentally and physically, in the
mirror of memory reproduced in an undisputable form.
There are many quaint phrases and many homely ifilustra-
tions in this little sketch, which may recall the past with
truthful force, and serve to scan the present and foreshadow
the future for us with skill and accuracy. "The Wigtown
Martyrs" refers to some altercations which have arisen as
to the validity or non-validity of Lord Macaulay's assertion
respecting the execution of two women in Wigtown for
their religion. " The Invitation" is a very lively adapta-
tion of a well-known nursery tune to suit the transactions of
a political pastime now in practice. " Books on the Ame-
rican War" cites a goodly number. One of the advantages
which the rest of the world, the celebrated itOUS autres of

is certainly the immediate conflux of books on the subjecs

EmENT.l—llelloway's Ointment and Pills
have over and over again proved the best friends to per-
sons afflicted
with ule?xations, sores, abscesses, fistulas,
and other painful and complicated complaints. Printed
and very plain directions for the application of the Oint-
ment are wrapped,round each pot. Holloway's alterative
Pills should be taken thr,ughout the progress of the cure
to maintain the blood in a state of perfect purity, and
dto
prevent the whole of the body being jeopardised by the
local ailment. Bad legs, old age's great grievance, areo
to
thus readily cured, without confining the patient Std
of withdrawing from him nutritious diet and generous p-
p
port, so imperatively demanded when weake.ning diseases
attack advanced years or constitutions evincing
decrepitude.
