Mr.. EDIToR: Noticing in your issue Of the 18th
instant an article signed I'M, which reflects
dlscredtably upon the disposition and general
ma Management OF the hospital of the First regi
mt mt of the Reserve Corps, complaining of the
location and arrangements which your GORE.
FspOndent alleges are insufficient for the accom-.
mediation OF the patients, and not calculated to
promote that comfort and induce that speedy
restoration of health which is the paramount
design of the institution, beg leave 10 state In
reply that I have ascertained from personal
Knowledge, that no real nor tangible cause of
dissatisfaction can possibly exist. From infor.
nation derived, officially, from the report Of
the regimental surgeon, whose attention was
called to this article, and attested by the officsr
find that the positions selected for pitching the
tents were the most eligible that could be OBJ
tanned in the immediate vicinity OF the camp,
and that the interior arrangements of the hos.
pital were only disposed Of after every pre- eau.
ton had been exhausted for dissipatng the
moisture and grading the ground, which expert.
| ence could suggest, or ingenuity devise.
The arrangements for heating and ventilat.
ing the hospital, proper, are OF the most appro.
| pirate and desirable character, and every sub.
general comfort and convalesCsnce, has been
| invariably recommended and introduced. In
relation to the sanitary condition of the estab-

of patients admitted during the month OF No.

comforts contributed by the community to the

have been plentifully and bountifully dis rib.

by the surgeon, matron and assistants, upon

ENGLISH POLICY,

o. the lat day of December the stock of cot
ton At Liverpool was stated at 592 900 bales;
IN the Oh OF December at 6O7 900 bales
These statements of stock vary little as made
by different authorities.
Th"7e had not been, in six weeks, any dimi.
untion Of stock, the consumption being sup
Piled by arrivals Chiefly from Iudia), aud
from the urge surplus known to have been
accumulated by the manufacturers themselves
A. time deyelopps results. it Seems that those
have predicted most correctly, who have as
signed the longest time for the exhaustion of
the British stocks Of cotton, and no doubt at
all mains that they will amply suffice until
the Isl of April, when the ~ ne,c and gigantic
crop from Jndia " will begin to MAKE its ap-
prara.ce in Liverpool.
Il Ia undoubtedly tru' that the English Gov
srnm@nt avors the attempt of the Sdnthern
rebels 10 establish separate Confederacy; but
let Us not misundersand the motives which
coutro the Eoglish Government 1t is not the
4 sire to obtain American cotton for their
manu-! ctures. On the contrary, English states
men rejoice al events which, while undoubtedly
slhj'c log m !mpora ant branch of industry 10
5"mP0rary Inconvenience, are tending to relieve
II from that dangerous dep p9ndence upon single
s'uTce o. supply, always deprecated by them
Il Is not ihh want Of American cotton which in
cliDes Eng sh politicians towards the Southern
rebellion aud il is not even certain that they
suppose n-t American cotton is to be more
quickly or surely obtained by taking sides with
the rebellion. But if they do suppose SO, thai
would bs dissuasivo rather than persuasive
to their present apparent line OF policy, as tend
.ns to defeat their ong-chsrished plans of oh.

FIsH's UNION TENT.
One of these tents has been put up for ex-
animation in Louisiana avenue, between Ninth
and Tenth streets. Those who have looked at
1t here, give ths same opinion which has been
pronounced upon the specimens set up in the
Park at New York, that 1t is the ne plus ultra
in tent making. 1t is put up and taken down
in minute, stands perfectly firm without being
piun"d to the earth, and is of less weight, aud
therefor, more easily transported than any
other known tent Its principles are so per-
feet, yet SO simple, that no Improvement seems
possible. 1t has .couveniences for berths for
sleeping, or for shelves for goods Suffers
and army officers cannot spend ten minutes
