CoMMENDABLR.-We are informed that man,
Of the chaplains of the several regiments O
soldiers now in our city, as we'll as the eigh
battalions OF our own troops, have had the
courtesies and services Of the Rev. Robert kel
len, acting chaplain TO our own troops, extend
ed to them, and all by the good judgment o
Gen. Mansfield. 1t is understood that thi
clergyman is we'll qualified for the position o
chaplain, having himself risen from the rank
to be staff officer, and therefore il Is hopet
that the proper authorities may appreciate hi
faithful and needed services, and commission
him. Surprise has been felt that our own thre
regiments of men should be destitute Of CHIP
lain, when some OF the regiments from abroa,
have two chaplains to one regiment. 1t is de
srable that the morals of our men may be pre-
served by all proper influences. b.

|, Dix, a number of nurses have been engage
