WASHINGTON. Oct H.
great deal is being said in the papers about
the organization of ambulance corps Having
seen the absence and the necessity of such corps
or the battle field, 1 have paid some attention TO
the subject. | am satisfied that in spite of all
the talk in regard to the matter there is still no
properly organized ambulance corps in existence.
This is grievous wrong TO the brave men who
are UNFOLDING the cause of the Union the bat
tle-held. The scenes after the battle near Cen
teryllle six weeks ago. and after the battles at
South Mountain and Antietam. were not merely
disgraceful to the War Department and to the
Medical Department Of the army, but were actu-
ally disgraceful to humanity Thousands of our
bravest and best soldiers laid for days on those
battle fields, and hundreds of them died there
after days of agonizng suffering, for the want of
properly organized ambulance corps The sur
geons were not to blame. They worked nces-
sanity for week. day and night But they
could not get their patients removed. And these
scenes must continue TO be enacted after every
large battle, until this disgraceful want has been
supplied.
Every well informed person was aware long
ago OF the utter absurdity and impracticability of
the negro projects of Mr.. Lincoln; aud events
are taking place every day which will open the
eyes even of the negro worshipers to the vision
airy foundation of their creed. 1t is now offci
ally ascertaned that there is no territory in any
part OF the American continent that can be oh
tanned for the purpose % a negro COLONY: and
this after the poor deluded blacks had been as
sured by Mr.. Lincoln and other leading Adolf
tionsts that desirable land for a COLONY for them
had already been secured. The Administration
by seeking to Danish the negroes from America
virtually denounces them unfit members of the
community, and undesirable as inhabitants. Ii
is no wonde-, therefore that the Governments of
all the countries in which it has been proposed to
settle them positively refuse to receive any such
class of persons
The upshot of the matter will be, that the ne

The chiei topic OF excitement which agilates
