ru.s ls naturally very stern. Military necessity
frequently compeis an obedience that is dis
tsstefa! TO the citizen, and causes him 10 think,
for the moment, that tyranny bears sway III
stead of liberty. THE can be readily ex

tyrannical which conduce to the weil-beiug
and salvation of the Coffederaey. There are
many things, which it would take time and
space to euumerate, which it is Inherent in our
people to insist upon, and yet would produce
vast discord ia our lines, and probable defeat
to our troops, were they permitted For e
sake of the cause, it is the duty Of all true
patriots to forego minor considerations, and
Weld that Ia,se notion of freedom they have
probably imbibsd, Liberty is child OF blood
and agony. History tells us that. and the fact
is craven IN letters that cannot lie. n order
to gain our independence, we mnet Dot only
expect defeats by the enemy, but must make

for passing the contsca,ion bill with ench hot

think Of nothing better 70 compare it 10 than

The discussion of this and simiiar bills, II says

TIE Hospifoi as Seabrook's Warehouses;
On yesterday we spent few hours in visit.
ing the Hospital at Seabrooks Warehouse,
now occupied by many Of our wounded soldiers
1t gives US pleasure to state that thu vigorous
administration of DIR. Thorn has swept away
the formaiities which attach to the depart
ment, and inaugurated system which can
not DO else than successful. Red tape in
times like these, when the enemy are batter
ing at our doors, should be ignored. In visit
ing this Hospital, we were pleased to notice
that few men in either of the wards we examin-
ed those of Drs. Terrill and Carter were given
up to the King of Terrors. Most of the des-
perate cases will survive. DIR. Terriil is only
an Assistant Surgeon, but he is Il tine operator.
We Witnessed several minor operations per
formed by him on yesterday. They will all
live. DIR. Garter is recent appointment, but
from what we have witnessed is most sk1llful
surgeon He richly deserves higher com
mission than the one he now holds.
