THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. trouble is made
by thoughtless visitors to various hospitals
through their improper disposition Of what
they design for charity. The different COM
mittees who attend them regularly. by acting
i'll strict conjunction with the attendants, do
infinite good; as their charity is thus dispensed
TO those personally in need Of the partic ular
articles they offer. Not so, however, with too
many others, especially females, who shower
their favors on whoever they fancy, without
knowledge OF or regard to their individual con
dition; turning their backs On others Tar more
III need of such kindness, because not from their
own States, &c. The recovery of many patients
is thus retarded; for it is an evil that cuts both
ways; overlooking the stomachs of some with
food not proper for them, and denying TO the
stomachs of others delicacies, stimulants &c.
which they really require 10 aid their recovery
in due season.

FEDERAL WOUNDED

Gentlemen who have just reached here from,
the late battle fields. state that all the wounded
who could be transported have been taken 10
Philadelphia. Baltimore. Washington. and
about a thousand remain, who are under every
conceivable form of shelter Those in barn,
are said &c be far from the worst of, but il is
apprehpndpd that the patients will suffer from
cold sheuld there be 4 change Of weather The
necessity of Transporting to them blankets, &C..
is strongly urged.
II appears that the proportion of our wound
ed 10 those killed is very grcat-four to one on
an average. This arises from the use of COM
mon guns by the Confederates. while the GOV
ernment troops. with their long range guns
and Mimic bullets, kill nearly many rs they
