Our Hospitals Again.

In our last issue We mentioned that We had re-
ceived letter complaining loudly Of the manage
ment at the I'd N. C. Hospital at Petersburg, Va,
at the same time remarking that We had no knowl-
edge ourselves Of any of the parties concerned By
some means we had entirely forgotten, if We had
known who has charge Of that institution. The
letter in question does not mention the Of the
Surgeon whom we have since learned has charge of
it, but mentions another as most bamabe, of whom
We had no knowledge.
Since the appearance of that article, We have re-
ceived letter from friend who has thorough
knowledge of the management of that institution,
and who gives US the most unqualified assurances
of its exceency and efficiency. 1t was only ne
cessary for our friend to have informed that DR..
VIM. c. Warren of Edenton, was in charge OF that
Hospital to have satisfied fully that it was, in all
respects, what the means in his power could make
it. more able physician, and more humane,
kind hearted and polished gentleman than he does
not belong to the profession in any State. Had
correspondent mentioned his name in connection
with that institution we should have wholly disre.
garded his complaints against it.
We received an article from high source for
publication, vindcating the management of this in.
stitution, rather too late for this issue; but we
judge that after reading the above the author will
scarcely think it necessary to notice the matter fur
thsr. If however, it is deemed necessary, our col
umns are at the service of all interested.

Our "Sick and Wounded,

We hope the following appeal from the Surgeon
General of the State will touch chord in the hearts
of our people, which will not cease to vibrate until
all our "sick and wounded" are well provided for
The accounts we receive of the condition of our
brave soldiers are enough to call forth the most ac-
tive exertons of our people in their behalf. Their
ragged shoeless condition is the subject of
constant ridicule among the Yankees and no bsnev-
olent heart can witness their suferings and yet
their noble courage and endurance without being
ready to help. When "sick and wounded" the ob-
legation becomes more imperious to relieve them
The reader will have some idea of the needy con-
dition OF our brave men IN the hospitals by observ-
ing in another article the statement made of the
few found at Warrenton, Va, by South Carolina
Chaplain.
What are our people doing, Last year their do
nations were crowded upon the army to surfeiting.
Much was then wasted and destroyed. We warned
our people of this waste then, but now we hear of
but little doing. Let US bestr ourselves, friends
Winter is coming on, and their sufferings must be
intolerable if they are not relieved We hope the
press Of the State will stir this matter and spread
DR.. Warren's appeal before the public:

PRESIDENT DAVIS MESSAGE IN ENGL AND

PRESIDENT DAVIS MESSAGE IN ENGLAND
The message of President Davis to Congress had
reached England, and was variously commented ON
by the press. The London Tines in an editorial
on tho message, says:
ave cannot deny him the credit of being -
moderate in prosperity ~ he has shown himself
bold, determined and unyielding in adversity."
1t then adds:
1--WE read with much pleasure the measured and
statesman.ke language in which the Southern Pres.
idsnt pays well-earned tribute to the gallantry
and good conduct of his troops, depores the DESC
lating war; and expresses confidence Of tho final tri-
umph Of the desperate struggle against dsspotio
usurpation."
After pointing to the horrors which may be q.
pected from President Davis threatened retaliatory
measures, to the exigenciss which require an OK
tension of the conscription and to the dangers
which the South run if they fail to conciliate the
Indians of their frontier tho Times articles con-
cfudes rs follows:
and act with moderation and dignity. In the midst
of reverses they can look forward with confidencs
to success. In the midst of success they can con-
template and look forward to tho possibility of loss
and failure. Such men would seem worthy of Q
better destiny than to be dragged =: the chariot
wheels of conquering democracy, and live under
perpetual reign Of terror"
The London Daily Nes0s, the abolition organ, in
reviewing the message says, that President Davis
has attempted to present character Of moderation
and dignity but the fierce and vindictive spirit thit
breaks through his habitual calmness and reserve,
is significant proof of his sxasperated temper, if not
also Of the desperate prospects of the Southern gov
ernment 1t denounces the savage policy which
Davis inaugurates and the atrocous measures which
he recommends to Congress, and says that tho
treatment threatened to the officers of troops incon.

of humanity and every sentiment of justice to 70.

The War News.

The reader will find the latest news items re-
oeived by US under our telegra2hic head.
The successes of our troops in Maryland, Ken
lucky and Mississippi have been confirmed The
most sanguinary conflict of the war to the enemy,
was the battle at Shepherdstown, on Saturday last,
in which jackson literally demolished Burnside's
column. 1t is said that jackson drew Burnside on
by the pretence that he was retreating before him,
and then turned upon him and cut him in pieces.
Returns of our North Carolina dead and wounded
in the recent battles come in very slowly. We
gret to learn that the rumor Of che death of Col c.
G. Tew, of the End N. C. State Troops, and late
Principal of the Military School at Hillsboro' is
confirmed He was an able officer and an accom-
plished gentleman. We learn also, that Gen. g. B.
Anderson, whose family now resides IN this city,
was slightly wounded. The most intense anxiety
is felt to hear from troops the rank and file, as
well as the officers. We mako no note Of mere ru-
mors.
The intelligence from Suffolk, Va, IS not by any
gratifying. 1t is said that the enemy at that
place has been largely reinforced, now numbering
5000 and that a portion of them, 10000, have
been advanced in the direction Of Petersburg to
Windsor station, eleven miles, This fact, put with
the statement that the gunboats are leaving WASH
ington, bodies no good. Our authorities are, how
ever, forswarned and We trust forearmed.
One or two Yankee prisoners were brought to
this city this week, recently captured below, we
learn by Capt fuckers company.

happily married about two and'a half years ago, to
most excellent lady of this City. His ints gence,
high bearing as gentleman, ard his many virtues,
endeared him much to his friends As soldier, he
had few equals. Cool, courageous and determined,
duty was his rule in life and at the cannons mouth.

deed has the blow fallen his doting and friends,
who mourn their sad bereavement. May He who
holds the winds in His hands be their support.
