GENERAL NELSON AND THE NEGROES
We ,fearn on good authority that General
Nelson has ordered five hundred negroes,
belonging to rebel masters to be sent to him,
for the purpose of putting them to work for
the benefit of the army. We are not informed
as to the work they will be required to do,
but suppose they will be made to aid in re-
building the bridges destroyed by the rebels,
and to construct Notifications. 1t might be a
good plan to fortify Murfreesboro. General
Nelson has done exactly right in this case,
and we hope his example will be extensively
followed by our officers. Why don't oul
authorities find work for few hundred
They might be usefuliy employed for our.
sAlssVe-whio at the Same time they were
kepfrrUul' aiding the Confederate Govern
ment. We hope the matter will be attended
to promptly. General Nelson has given
strict orders, we learn, that no loyal mans
slaves shall be taken, and the same rule
would, of course, be observed here. This
is the policy. Weaken the enemy aChile goa
strengthen yourself, and make has resources

Suffers SToREs.-Spsncer & Wells, at
the Tishomingo, are daily receiving an un-
usual amount of Suffers Goods, aud they
are selling them at such prices as keep them
well cleaned out all the time We don't
know how it is, but they seem to sell at
about the same price that the freight costs.
When they do this, they will not lack
customers. Harry Beach and Sam Tessdale
make some difference in the sales, and they
are going to stay.

A MATCH FOR BEAUREeARb.-A letter from
o Rebel prisoner to his sweetheart was inter
cepted day or two since. The writer says
the prisoners are half starved by the Yankees,
and that. in coming through Philadelphia.
fashionably dressed ladies were furious with
rage, and would hav. essayed to tear them to
pieces, but for the guard. The fellew would
make a capital secretary for Beauregard.

The JEws.-Wc are in the hands Of the
Jews. To us they are rather the sons of
Ishmael than the children Of Abraham. They
are every where, where money is to be
made. They rather detest the musket. They
find danger there and little monish. They
are sharks, feeding upon the soldiers
General Grant, has determined to rate
them a nuisance, and abate it suddenly. If
he will give an order to fill the broken regi-
ments from the Jews who are following tho
army, the regiments will be filled, and cry
ing evil abated. Pinch back watches, brass
rings, Oreids jewelry, is palmed off upon the
boys by set of fellows who contribute moth
ing to the support Of the country in her
troubles. Let them be abolished.

Army Surgeons.

army surgeons.
The post of Surgeon is one of the most
important in the Army and requires of its
occupant not only medical knowledge and
skill, but determination to conscientiousiy
perform every duty required by the wants of
the men. We have been with the army
nearly year and a half and during that
time have met with many excellent surgeons
for the army or, in fact any place else. At
home the doctor knows that the growth of
his practice depends upon his attention to
his patients. In the army, as long as he
answers to the surgeons call, and is in his
place to prescribe for those who call, he may
neglect every other duty which humanity
demands of the doctor to his patient, and
it makes no difference with his pay. This
renders some of our surgeons mere nusances.
which should be abated at the earliest mo-
ment, and would be if the fact could be fair
ly presented to the commanding General,
who we know to be ever anxious that every
attention should be paid to the sick and
wounded of his family.
We had the misfortune to get into the
Hospital once, and there met with a model
surgeon. His time was spent in the dispensa-
tory or the Hospital. He was surgeon, Hospi-
tai steward, ward master, nurse, and friend
10 avor1- opa ,yno fall ,,pdor he ooro oo1 -.
kindness to each of the poor sufferers will be
ever remembered by them, and their express
sions of gratitude will be to him we'll
spring of pleasure every time no thinlSA of it
in years to come He was not a regular arm Y
surgeon, but was retained by the surgeon in
charge of the Hospital as long as he would
stay, and when he left carried with him the
best wishes of his professional brethren and
the boys who had been under his charge. He
has gone home, with the intention of settling
his business and going into one of the regi-
ments raising under the late call of the
President. The surgeon referred to is DR..
J. s. Grinnell, Of Morgantown, Indiana. and
for two months assistant in the General
Hospital here. Whatever regiment obtains
his services will be most fortunate, and will
thank us for bearing witness to what we
know of his services here.
There are many others who are exact
counterparts of DIR. Grinnell, but unfortunate
ly for the sick of our army they are excep-
tions to the rule. One of these days their
practice will pass through the same trying
ordeal as did their medical requirements be-
fore their appointments were confirmed. The
manner in which their duties are perform ed
will be made the subject of rigid exam ma
ton, and the g fine gold will be separated
from the dress" The surgeons who ever
conscientiouSly do all their duty will receive
their reward, and those who draw their pay
with for more alacrity than they examine
the pulse of patient, will have a chance to
90 home, to retire to the disgraceful OBSCURE
t. which every one who fails to do his duty
in this time of our country's trial deserves
Better be without any surgeon than one who
takes less time to prescribe for fellow man
less interests in the sufferings of a fellow
man, than he would in those Of his horse.

Gen. Halleck for making HIM his successor.
