The schooner Recruit, Capt. Geo. CogsWeI,
and the schooner Scout, Capt. Looney, have
been detailed for service as the Division Hos
pita1. They are fitted up with 40 berths, On
two decks, under the spar deck. They are re-
markab'y neat, clean and well ventilated, and
will give ample accommodation to all the sick
Of the Division, unless some unexpected mis-
fortune OF contagion overtakes the troops.
The hospital is under the immediate supergi5-
ion Of Dr.. Samuel A. Green Of the 24th Mass,
assisted by Dr.. Dodge Of the New York 5lst,
and Dr. Theron Temple Of the 25th Mass. On
sailing from Annapolis the number Of patients
was less than 100, the seriously sick being left
In the general hospital at that place. Under
the efficient management Of Dr., Green, the
sanitary condition Of the Division will always
be reported good.

Capt. Ba3]iss, and his steward, John McCon-
