DEEP RIVER CoA1.-A few days since, the Journal
was printed by Beam generated by coal from the Egypt
mine on Deep River, send down here by Mr.. Mclean
through Messrs. T. G. & B. g. Worth, of this place.
We like it much. 1t burns like ightwood almost,
does not choak up between the grate-bars any more
than anthracite would do. 1t leaves clinker, in
the case of red white ash coal, and from the small
quantity we had to test with, think if the article
can be furnished here at S. or even S. so per ton ii
will be about cheap perhaps cheaper for the purpose
of generating steam than the hard coal from Pennsy
Vania.

We HAVE SOME ITEMS from the camps of our regi-
ments in Virginia, which we are forced to omit no
tice very briefly to-day.
Our Third Regiment n. G. State Troops is at Ac-
quia Greek. The second at Brookes Depot, and both
in better health than they have been. The green fruits
and other things of that kind have been rather interior
ing with the health of the men.
The Second Regiment (Col. Tew's) has suffered a
good deal from sickness contracted at the Camp
Garysburg. They are getting over it though.
No immediate attack is expected at Aqua Greek,
do our officers or men to look for any movement
into Maryland in that direction.
Winter clothing for the soldiers is attracting the at
tention of the officers They appeal to their lady friends
and others to see after these things.
AN INTELLIGENT GERMAN FRIEND informs US that the
name of the German Colonel, General, often
ferred to in connection with the movements in Missouri
is Segel, being the German for seal, meaning stamp
or signet.
Gen. Segel was in the revolution of 1849 and fought
in the revolutionary army of the Grand Ducby of Ba
den, against the invading Prussians. He is man Of
education and ability and exerts large influence among
his compatriots in Missouri.

HOSPITAL NATIONS.

Sir: IN your issue of THR SEnI-WEyKLr TRIBUNE
of July 9, 1861, you give all the bills now before
Congress. la the relating to the better organza-
ton Of the Medical Department, very humble but
hard-worked class have been totally overlooked.

and file Of the army was increased, the Hospital
Nations remained the same, viz s. per mouth. In

a. ain A Hospital Marion should at the lowest cal
ouation have at least the pay Of cavalry private s2
Der raonth; and where there are four companies az
post and the regulations only allow one matron 81
month is very poor pay for washing weekly all the
sheets, pillow cases towels soed bandsges &c, OF
hospital of from twenty TO thirty patients, and some-
times double that number.
It's but common Justice that their pay should be
IN de double what it is, and l am certain 1t wond
nave been so long siDce only that it has slipped the
mind or has been properly brought before the
trainers Of the laws relating 10 our army.
1t is not Just or fair that when the pay of every
Hrade OF Official seryitor of the army has been In
creased in the last few years. that the pay of the often
hard-worked Hospital Maton should remain the same
as it was fifteen or twenty years ago.
