HosPITALs.-The committee of Congress on Hos
pitfalls, give in connection with their report
hibit from the Surgeon General, of the number of
sick and wounded soldiers received in the Hospitals
in Richmond and Petersburg.
In the Richmond Hospitals, he reports 99,5OS as
the number admitted from their organization to the
18th Sept last OF this number he says 9,774 have
beer furloughed, 2,341 have been discharged 1878
have died, and reports only 1920 as the whole
number now remaining in the Hospitals. That ac-
counts for only about 10000 of the $4,000. What
has become of the balance?
The Petersburg Hospitals report only 1870 re-
ceived; of whom, s2S have been furloughed 1871
discharged, III dead, leaving 1Sg2 in the Hospitals
at the time of the report which accounts for only
about one-half received. We suppose the rest must
have taken French leave.

The EXEMPTION Bill.

The Exemption bill under the Consumption act,
which originated in the Senate, has passed the
House, but we have not yet received copy. 1t
shall appear in our next.
The House made several amendments and among
others the following:
On motion of Mr.. Collier, the following exemp-
ton was made: Zone Editor for each newspaper
now being published, and such employees as the
Editor Proprietor may certify, upon oath, to be
indispensable for conducting the publication"
On motion of Mr.. Ashe, it was provided that the
members of the Society of Friends may be allowed
to furnish substitute, pay tax of five hundred
dollars into the treasury.
An amendment, offered by Mr.. Gray, of Texas,
to exempt one son of widow, who has sole charge
of the widows farm, stock, rancho or other bust
ness for the widows support, was agreed to. Mr..
Gray may be truly regarded as the widows friend.
Thousands of widows will thank him for this pro-
vision of the law.

Senatorial, Sept 80.
A special dispatch to the Adrertiser dc Register,
from the Memphis Tenn.) Bulletin, dated the 29th,
says:
Nothing important from the North, and all is
quiet along the Line of the Potomac.
Late Chicago papers received says, from the up

ment, though active operations will not long be de-
layed.
1t is reported that Gen. Lees headquarters is at
Falling Waters.
The rebels are concentrating at Winchester, which
place is being fortified.
The losses at the battle at Antilian is said to be
officially reported at 1920 while that of the Rebels
exceeds 10000. We do not believe this.
A special dispatch from Washington to the Chi
cage Times says, the rumor that draft is about to
be made has foundation in fact to the extent that the
President has determined, in case the country does
not at once rally under the policy indicated in his
Emancipation Proclamation, that he will enforce
draft till the army reaches one million.

The Chatham Railroad.

We learn that the Directors Of this road have re-
sfved to locate it from Raleigh by way of Pages on
AeN. @. Railroad eight miles from Raleigh; thence
Pm the ridge to Haw river, crossing near Haywood
Ehence up the north bank of Deep river, by Lock
tvile to the Coal Fields. 1t is contemplated to build
| first the portion between Pages and Lockvilie,
twentythree miles; and after this portion is finish
ed to proceed in the construction of the remainder.
From Lockville there is water communication with
the Coal Fields, the dams and locks at and above
Lockvile being in good order. This portion of the
road will be ready to let to contract during the pre-
sent month, and planters in the eastern portion of
the State will do we'll to take their slaves from prox-
unity to Yankee gunboats, and employ them on
contract on this road
Messrs. Washington, Hoyt and Murdoch are nh
king iron at their furnaces Deep river said to be
of excellent quality. Large quantities of coal hive
been mined and it is lying at the mouth of the pits
waiting for transportation, and we hope the Chat
ham Railroad will be pressed to completion, in or
der that the indispensable iron and coal theremay
reach the markets of the Confederacy. The ex-
pense of hauling one ton of coal by wagon from
Lockville to Raleigh thirtyone miles, is now eeUen
AdOLlars and half! 1t is now selling in this city

Mr. EDIToR:-Is there any law authorizing the
Private Secretary of the Governor to charge two
dollars for officers commissions? If so, the Office
of Private Secretary is one of the most lucrative in
the State North Carolina has fifty mine regiments
in the service, and there is average of at least
forty officers to the regiment which would give
1850 officers. Two dollars on the commission of
each, would be $4,72O The Secretary is entitled
to $500 and fees for commissioning civil officers,
and that is all we believe the Legislature
tempated he should have. Many think the pay of
officers too much, and that they should be heeced
whenever opportunity offers. If those who
think So will make an estimate of what it costs an
officer to clothe himselof the cost of his rations,
and of the expenses incident to his position, he will
probably come to a different conclusion.
We would also like to know, Mr.. Editor, why it
is that officers who into the service last Spring,
have not been commissioned until quite recently?
We further desire to know whether all officers,
Without exception, have been charged two dollars on
their commissions UNUS.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Sept. 2!

WILMINGTON, N. c., Sept. 49,
Nh. EDToR:-I have scarcely got the heart to do
anything. Our poor old city is dressed in the ha-
biliments of deepest mourning. The oldest of her
citizens have been slain by the prevailing cpl
demic," and the place now more resembles a city of
the dead than any thing else. We have lost Mr..
James S. Green, Treasurer of the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad, man of as noble heart as ever
beat; then Immediately afterwards DR.. Dickson,
our most eminent physician; and to-day down on
Wrightsville Sound we chronicle the death of Mr..
Stephen Jewett, Cashier of the Bank of Whining
ton. In the death of these old citizens more par
ticularly Mr.. Green and DR.. Dickson, Wilmington
has sustained irreparable loss. Never was there
so much sadness, so much mourning in place be-
FORE To-day wagon loads of collins passing
BY and just the funeral Of some beloved friend,
frequently the death of three in one family and the
announcement of twenty new cases of fever. DR..
ChOpon, who has so kindly volunteered his most
valuable services arrived in the city yesterday, and
is doing all for the sufferers that medical skill
suggest. DIR. c., who has had great deal of ex-
perence in treating the disease, pronounces it to
be the most malignant form of yellow fever, and
states that the fever which has prevailed at Charles
ton and New Orleans is no comparison to it-that
it more resembles the ship or Asiatic fever than
any other which invariably proves fatal So far
when the fever has had good hold, one has
covered. To-day there are nearly one hundred
cases in the city. 1t seems to be attacking every
body, both black and white. Little children
running to and fro, begging for somebody to come
and see Pa or Ma, just which perchance it may be.
A man dies, and is put in pine coffin, and buried
with but little ceremony or funeral. 1t is an actual
fact that some have died and laid six hours before
being shrouded, for the reason that there is
to do it. Every body, with but very few excep-
.tions have left town, and to day every store is
closed. 1t seems as if the atmosphere is so intense
" poisoned, that matter what kind of sickness
person is taken with, it is certain to terminate in
the prevailing epidemic" WORRELL.

THE MILITARY COLLEGE FOR ORPHANS

THE MILITARY COLLEGE FOR ORPHANS.
Mr.. HOLDEN AS one Of the trustees of the pro-
posed College for Orphans, am of course gratified
at the reception which the proposition has met at
the hands of the press, and l was happy to the
remarks made concerning it in your influential
journal. 1t is noble project We have prepared
an appeal to the public, which hope you will find
it in your heart to insert several times in the
Standard
think you have Inexperienced one point. We
do not fix the endowment at 100000 as the maxi
mum, but rather as the minimum amount. We do
not intend to begin until at least 100000 be OBJ
tanned. We shall swell the amount by donation,
and the profits of the paying section of the College,
to as large amount as possible; and the more
the public shall interest themselves in this matter
the greater the number of boys who shall receive
the benefit.
You ask, "Why neglect the girls ?" They will
not be neglected. The Lutheran Church have a
proposition before the public to educate the girls
and we wish that enterprise speedy and great sue
cess We believe that more could be done by us,
by combining ourselves to the subject of educating
the orphan boys.
l heartily thank you for the hint you gave the
Legislature to make an appropriation, which
shall put our College upon most ample platform.
But whether they do or not we believe that the
patriotism of the South will not allow any failure
to a scheme so patriotic, so philanthropc, and so
Christian as this.
Very respectfully, your ob't. serv't.
