y respectfully and truly, your friends.
Hospitals, Surgeons. &c.

We very cheerfuly give in another column the
remarks of "An Army Surgeon" in defence of the
Surgeons, Hospital management &C. We have
joined in no ndiscrimnate assault upon heSurgeons
or Hospitals. When cases of manifest dereliction
arising from intemperance, incompetency or indo-
lence have been brought to our attention, we have
noticed them in some instances. We have objected
especially to the appointment of surgeons polti-
cal or other grounds except their entire competency
and this no man true to the country except to.
That there are incompetent incorporate and indo-
lent surgeons in the army, and hospitals shamefully
managed, we have no doubt; but we hope that these
are the exceptions and not the rule.
What defence can be made for Surgeon belong
Ing to one of regiments who after the battle of
Sharpsburg remained with our wounded, got drunk
out Of the brandy allowed for the sick, quarreled
with the Yankee surgeons until they were compell-
cd to send him back into lines, and then cared
humanity for our wounded? This is said to be a
fact
What defence can be made for the Surgeon Gen.
eral of the Confederate States, who as the Eramin-
er states few days ago, ordered $50 Of paroed
and wounded soldiers, upon their arrival at Varna,
TO be transported to an outdoor hospital two miles
from Richmond, where there were tent accommoda-
tons for only CO. and ratOns for none not even al
lowing those who had parents and friends at hand
10 take them to theirs own homes The wounded
men say they were treated kindly from the moment
they got INTO Yankee hands until they were landed
at Earina, and that the first and only cruelty they
suffered was from their own people There may
have been few cases of small pox among them, but
they had been horses they should have been trea-

Released O6cers-.Rebel Strength.

The army correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, writing from Harrison's
Landing on the 18th instant:
Yesterday morning early three steamers
came down the river, under flag of truce,
and had on board some one hundred and
forty-seven officers, who bad been released
in the late exchange of prisoners. Among
these returning officers we're: Generals
Mccall and Reynolds; Colonel Stockton,
Sixteenth Michigan; Colonel Gallagher g,
Eleventh Pennsylvania; Colonel Simpson,
Fourth New Jersey; Colonel Brewster, FIX
celsior Brigade; Lieutenant Colonel Jack
son, Eleventh Pennsylvania; Lieutenant
Colonel Hatch, Fourth New Jersey; Lieut..
Colonel Varney, Fifth Maine; Lieutenant
Colonel Sweitzer, Sizty-second Pennsylva-
mia; Major Johns, Eleventh Pennsylvania;
Major Davidson, Fourth Pennsylvania;
Major Birney. Fourth New Jersey; Major
Gilbert, New York; and Major O'Neill,
New York Artillery.
From what these officers eau learn of the
strength and present disposition of the re-
bel forces at or near Richmond - this is,
within a radius of hundred mles--they
have at least two hundred and fifty to two
hundred and eighty thousand troops
Some three or four days alter their in
generation at the Eighteenth street prison,
they saw marching through Main street a
a body of troops, some forty to fifty regi.
ments, all ly armed and equipped. They
were told that this body was sent out to
strengthen jackson and Longstreet, who are
opposing Generals Pope and Banks.
A correspondent of the New York Times,
also writing from Harrison's Landing on
the l4th, speaks as follows in reference to
the strength of the rebel army
My informants assure me that we have
all this time been wolully undertaking the
powers of the rebels. They say that at
least one hundred thousand men can be
spared to defend Richmond on the north,
leaving another hundred thousand to defend
it ON the southern side They say that the
most sanguine feeling exists at Richmond
as to the taking of Washington, and that
large bets at heavy odds, are frequently Of
fered that it will be so. They say that our
officers are not allowed to 60 out of prison
to have the run of the hotels-a very differ.
ent rule to the one we have put 10 practice
against them. The rebels, in spite of all
they may pretend, have the most respectful
fear of Mcclellan, and rank him as our best
General. His check before Richmond has
not diminished their confidence in and fea
Ct bis talents, for they know how little the
fault of it depended upon him.

The subscriptions made to the Voluns
teer Fund in Philadelphia, are swelling
every day. On Tuesday they amounted to
nearly 100000. The separate subscrip-
tions to different regiments will add about
$l00.0 900 more. The railroad subscrip
tions are $4,000. The city appropriation
is 100000. Thus nearly 81 100000 has
been given by the Government, the corpor.
atoms and the citizens Of Philadelphia, for
the purpose of as listing the National Gov

The Battle Of Baton Rouge.-Rebel Ac.
count Of It.

A correspondent of the Grenada Appeal
writes from Comite River, August 7th, and
says the understanding was that Breckin-
ridge should attack Baton Rouge in the
rear, and the Arkansas was to take care of
the river. There was a vast amount of
sickness among the troops as they started
of, but they finally made the attack on the
morning of August 5th, with, as he says,
only aboat 2,4OO men. He says that they
committed great blunder on the start, in
some of the troops firing into each ether,
and mentions among the loss from it, the
name of Mrs. Lincoln's brother, Captain
A. 81. Todd, who was instantly killed. Fl.
nally they began to drive US in, he says, and
adds:
But it was not without loss that we thus
drove them in. They sought every possible
covert place, and rallying, gave a peppery
salute to our men. Their batteries were
also admirably handled, and belched forth
devastating columns of canister, grape,
schrapnel, shell and solid shot. One by one
however, they were forced to give back.
Timber up and to the rear march, was the
constant order, and had it not been obeyed,
all their guns would have fallen into our
possession. AS it was, the 18th Louisiana
charged a battery twice, each time at cen.
siderable loss, and were finally forced to
lose their trophy; their commander, Colonel
Allen, falling, shot through both legs. This
somewhat demoralized the regiment, which
had already been distinguished for its good
conduct. Captain Hughes, commanding
the 22d Mississippi fell dead while leading
a charge. Colonel Sam. Boyd, of the Lou.
isiana battalion was severely wounded in
the arm; the gallant 3lst Mississippi,
while charging ahead, lost their cOlors but
the battle flag was Immediately grasped by
a lieutenant, who, bearing it aloit, was shot
down, and the third man who seized it, re-
ceived death wound.
Finally, be says, they got into our camp,
and were forcing US into the town, while at
the same time Breckenridge and his son,
CaheIl, were doing wonders in another di.
rection, according to the writer, when the
thought struck them that the Arkansas had
failed, and upon this they began to fall
back. He claims that VIC were badly
whipped, that we were driven into town,
and some of US even into the water, but
still be confesses:
1t was then that General Breckenridge
ordered recall. He bad received mes.
sage that it would be impossible for the
Arkansas then to participate in the engage.
ment, but that by two O'Clock she would
take her part. Slowly and with reluctance
our troops fell back, although exposed to
the heavy firing of the gunboats. About
one mi e and half from town they were
halted, and the poor. wearied, jaded fellows
threw themselves upon the ground to rest.
