of the Hospital at Dover. Were we to undertake
TO expose all the that have crept into the ad
ministration of the civil and military departments
of the Government and to dwell upon their sad
consequences it would be saving of time and Ia
Dor to transfer to our columns the Lamentations Of
jeremiah. Personally, we know nothing of the
management Of the Hospital atDover, or at any
other point; but if we take popular clamor and the
adherence of the soldier at the idea of entering
one of those establishments as evidence OF misman-
agement, there are strong grounds Of complaint
against those in authority. 1t is not our purpose
however, to become conspicuous In an assault upon
this particular branch of the public service when
every other seems equally amenable to censure.-
When we see the selsfhly ambitious and utterly
incompetent hoisted, by the lever of favoritism into
high and responsible positions; when we see in
trinsic merit which is always modest and retiring
superseded by specous impudence; when we see
brave and gallant soldiers trudging through the
snow beside the track of railroad, army oontrac-
tors growing fat upon the public crib, and specula
tors grinding the poor families Of absent soldiers,
VIC feel no disposition TO single out one department
and hold it up to public indignation to the exclusion
of others equally censurable, The devoted patrio-
tsm Of The people has filed up the army, and their
patient endurance and unfinching courage have
triumphed on the battlefield and conquered the
adverse circumstances interposed by scramblinp
politicians and greedy moneyaehaneers. To tbs
patriotism the country must look for the stccessiu,
issue of this revolution, and not to the ambitious
their brief authority and count the gains wrung
from the necessitses of the masses Every depart.
ment Of the Government exhibits the evil effects Of
past party corruption and of association with Yam
kecs; and every Indication points to tie unwel-
come conclusion that the Southern Confederacy is
beginning its career at the point where the old
was wrecked. The politicians who sway its desti-
nies are the same who aided 90 effectually in sun
iering the Union, and the institutions already
adopted the same that so signay failed to foster
the integrity and intelligence of the people aud to
secure the rights Of the States Whilst such wide
spread evils are taxing the patience and energies OF
the country we feel no inclination to select single
one as the special object Of attack, but prefer to
ienounce them in the aggregate-indulgiug the
faint hope that better day is coming when South
ern honor will be vinlicsted by the purity and
wisdom of Southern la Sgiyers.

~ The new year has commenced, as
the old one ended, In the midst Of q wicked and
unnatural war. We trust that it will be distin-
gushsd by succession Of brilliant victories for the
South to be followed by Independence and perm
anent and prosperous peace. To bring about this
desirable result within the year "e2,7 the people
should put forth all their energies, aud the Gov
ernment should display degree Of wisdom which
is not apparent in all it has heretofore DONE We
look not for perfection In those who are entrusted
with the administration Of public affairs, but have
a right to expect that no unworthy motives shall
dictate their choice Of men and measures, and that
all selfish considerations shall be merged in th,
great question Of national independence and hoa.r
the perpetuity of rational liberty and the advance
ment of popular intelligence and integrity.

When the United States vessels were
on their way to attack Fernandina, they
picked up a contnband who had ventured
to sea in small boat to notify them that
the rebels were dcserting the place. While
questioning the black, some Of the officers
OF the Alabama remarked that he should
have brought them newspapers to lot them
know what was going on. II thought Of
dat" replied the contraband, ssand fetched
o Charleston paper wid me- With this
he put his hand in his bosom and drew
forth . paper, and with the air of man
who was rendering an important service,
handed it to the circle of inquirers. They
graaped It eagerly, but one glance indnced
general burst of laughter, to the pro-
found astonishment Of poor Cuffee, who
It seems confd mot read, and imagining
one paper as good as another, had brought
one dated 1922. The South Carolina
relic was forwarded to Thoman b. Still
man, Esq, Of this city, as one Of the Gu,

ST. PATRIck's DAY In BALTIMORE

ST. PATRlck's DAY In BALTIMORE
The worshipers Of the iliustrious Irish
saint in this city had gay time ysstsr-
day. The commencements of the Irish
schools took place, and Father McManus
preached an eloquent sermon, comparing
the saint to Josias the Jewish king, whom
the Lord led to abate the abomination Of
iniquity in judah. There was IN evi-
dent but delicate limiting towards the in
iquity Of human bondage in our land, and
assigning for some Josias to arise in the
present hour. Mr.. Lincoln, unless Ill
signs fail, win answer to the hopes Of the
reverend father, and think he thought
30 TOO. The evening was celebrated by
the usual feasts among the hilarious Irish
men.
