nors Of the Great Ratt.e.

By the cars last evening, President Davis returned
from the Battle field In response to enthusiastic calls
from an immense crowd in the streets he briefly alluded
70 the grand and absorbing topic Of the day. Ths enemy
with the taxes they had been imposing Us fer twenty
years had ted out an army on the most magnificent
scale They had come to Virginia, with ammuni-
tOu arms, ambulAnses sted up in style Of luxury as
though they still thought they were tAXrg the South,
500 or 600 wagons, and provisions of every kind IN
shundance, for whole campaign, for 10000 men, ard
che 6uest parks Of heavy and light ArAry and The o's
of Il sas ours They ned and leG everything they could
Ghrow away The last that heard Of them, they were
still flying.
The train brought down some COO prisoners. and there
are about 400 more 10 come. There are 50 Oaeers
among them.
Il s vet possible to determine the number Of the
killed and wounded Of the enemy. The probability is
that the sum total will not fall short Of 10000.
Our own casualties vii not exceed /, 200.
Preadens Davis passed the highest sneomiumS upon our
heroic SOLDIERS aud particularly the two eminent men in
Ooumand-BeauregArd and Johnston. Too much praise
cannot be bessOssd on Ocss and men, for all deter

YORKTOWN HOSPITAL.


As great diversity Of opinion seems to exist in the
minds of many of our lady feads relative to the hospital
a, this place, .r:e short note, in order remove
ANY uncertainty with regard to it.
We have four distinct hospitals. The 6rs general

surgeon Of the post.
The mex: are the regimental hospitals Belonging to
each regiment under the control OF its individual sur

The third what may be termed the contagious those
name Is sufficiently explanatory of its character.
The fourth IS the hospital Biglers MIL about eight
miles above this place. under the OF Dr. Randolph,
u which are sent the convaecent patients and those
Who are suffering from chronic diseases.
you'd suggest that persons sending delcscies and
other things for these dnren, hospitals should always
be particular TO enclose in such packages the names Ct
the kind givers, and the Articles presented
When they are intended for the general hospital, lie,
