United States HOSPITAL

The government has at last provided what was
much needed at this place, large ana conmodious
Military Hospital. The lot on which the Hospital
is erected adoins the Barracks and has about three
hundred and fifty feet front on the river, running
back to the Mexican Gulf Railroad. The front of
this lot is enclosed. And the four buildings form
ing the Hospital, form square of about 240 feet in
the rear of the enclosure. Ia the centre of this
square is a small octangular building which is to
serve as Dispensary and Observatory it having
spiral stair by which may ascend to the dome,
and take survey OF the surrounding country, of
the city, and of the river for distance up and
down. The buildings are light airy, plain struc-
lures, without any attempt at architectural display,
but admirably adapted TO the purposes for which
they were intended. They are two stories high,
about $50 feet long and 30 wide, with a verandah
twelve feet broad on each side, supported by plain
columns. Each building has open spaces or pas
sages running through it, to entrances on each of
its four Sides They have each four wards, Two in
each story, with the exception of the lower story of
the main building, which is divided into apartments
for matrons nurses ETC.; the kitchens being in the
rear. There are in all fourteen wards, which will
accommodate twenty-four, or, if necessary, thirty
patients each. The wards are furnished with neat
covering, giving an air of comfort to the whole,
and almost tempting enough to swell unduy
the sick list, could we suspect any of our mill
isary heroes of playing sold soldier" But one
OF the wards is now occupied. The fore
ground is ,astefully laid out in serpentne walks,
the whole gently slopug to the drains, and is
planted with shruhbery. The ground has been
raised between two and three feet, and covered
with a coating of shells about four inches thick
salt has been spread over theset kill the growth
of grass and weeds, giving to the whole surface a
white and frosty appearance, which will form a
beautiful contrast 10 the verdure of the shrubberv
in the Spring and Summer, and make it one of the
most delightful prospects the river. The whole,
even now, presents a chaste and pleasant appear
ance, very creditable to those connected with Its
design and completion. Mr.. Elrey is the architect
of the buildings They have been constructed
under the general direction of Gen. Brooke and
Major Tompkins, but under the immediate super
vision of Capt. Chase, to whose good taste and
Judgment much must be attributed.
