BALTIMORE, Thursday, June :, 1882.

FORTRESS MoSkos, Juno T. 1854.
The large steamer e. Vanderbilt arrived here this
morning from the White House with about $50 more
Of the rounded on board, other loads will coon FOL
low Too much praise cannot be awarded to q. Is.
Barkey. ESQ.,, Of Philadelphia, who is devotng bis
DAYS and his Dghis beside Is purse, TO the humane
work of alleviatng the suferings Of our soldiers,
and for his sbors in behalf of this consignment of
wounded men.
The magnitude and suddenness of the demand for
hospital accommodations consequent on the sangui-
nary business Of Saturday and Sunday last, has
shown lie supply wholly unequal to the demand.
There is a corresponding lack, as am assured, Of
nurses and competent surgeons, though there are
enough Of the other sort. As consequence, the
wounded on the Vanderbilt, when they arrived, and
for many hours before, in need Of pretty much
everything that well men required, TO say nothing
Of what men lscsrsted and torn should have. To
he utmost extent all the nccessares were immedi-
atey lhed by DR.. Cuyler, who caused every at
teniion TO be bestowed and the requisite arrange
ments 10 be made for the departure OF the Wander
bill, for New-York 10 the afternoon.
THE THREE REBEL LADIES.
The three Rebel ladies, 10 wit, mrs Greenhow,
Mrs. Baxley and Mrs. Morris departed for Dixie via
James River. yesterday, on the steamer Metanora,
Capt. Van V.lkenburgh. The steamer having dis
charged it's distinguished passengers at City Point
returned this morning. performing the distance-Io0
miles-iu five hours. Not to mention the conduct of
these distinguished personages on the passage mp,
their charming fastdiousness 10 which the fne ap-
pointneuts OF the Metamora were wholly unequal;
their conduct on their arrival was sot of climax
to their previous career.
The steamer Massachusetts was lying near, with
the Rebel prvaleers board, and one of the women
undertook TO get up three cheers for jeff Davis from
the deck of the steamer; but Captain Van Walk
enbrrghs sense Of proprety would not allow
that, and he had her conducted below. They were
finally taken ashore in smabost. passing on the
way tho Monitor. which offered an opportunity for
one Of them to open on the officer. with regular
iron-clad bllnpsgste. On getting ashore their pride
suffered slight reverse when they were placed IN
IN open mule car with their trunks for seats. In
this fasnion the Three Graces when last SEEN were
making their way to the arms supposed to bs ont
stratched TO receive them.
