An interesting letter from Dr. Schreiber,
the chief of the Russian medical crops IN the
Crimea, is quoted from the 1aeaiids Russe.
Its substance is as follows: Since the COM
mencenent Of hostilities in the Tanric pcnin-
sula up to the 1st of March, there had been
10, 1923 men wounded, Of whom 1917 had re-
Joined the ranks : 1877 more had been cured,
but only after having undergone severe opera
tions, and >, 600 others We're fully convalescent,
and would soon be able to take their place
among their brave brethren in arms! From
these figures one can Judge Of the courage, and
artlor Of the Russian Soldiers, Of their enthusi
asm and bravery in the presence ofthe enemy
Alma, Inker,nann, Kadiko and the defence OF
Seyastopol have given the latter, and will give
him every day, an idea Of the valor of the
Russian soldier, Of his vencration for his SOY
fereign, aud Of his love forhis country. He ex-
claims that the blood of the heroes shed on the
soil Of Taurida begetS new heroes every. day.
But their wonderful courage does not exist on
the battle field alone !: it is seen and perhaps
yet more strongly, in tho hospitals, on. those
beds Of pain, where they undergo the most
cruel operations with a strength Of mind which
the greatest heroes might envy ID % sIsFai
! If they are afflicted at the loss oflah arm Or
q leg, it is because they can no longer tight
against the enemies Of thsir country, Homage
must also be rendered to the zeal, the activity
and the intelligent service Of the Russian phys
icians, which is gloriously justified by their
cures of the sick, and perhaps also by the
wounds and the death which many of them
have received even in the midst Of their bloody
labors on the field of battle. DR.. Scheiber pays
a compliment to the Empress and all who have
followed her example i'll active sympathy for
the suffering so dier, and he concludes by pay
| ing high tribute to the Sisters Of Charity,
and particularly TO those Of the Order Of the
Exaltation of the Holy Cross a,, e5seoo, pf.
