for the igno:snee Of some people, ] az

ID shargelof the several wards is lunoeas-
ing and 4he,pstients attended to with such
care as, / think ought to demand the
cemmehdadon Of all loyal people circu-
lating in our midst.
So far as the Commissary Department
ID concerned, / must certainly flatter the

tressncnt is concerned, am happy 10
testify, is conducted by gentlemen Of
known reputation and professional abili-.
y. But, Ipresums' this remark is nm
necessary u the residents Of the city,
particularly to the friends Of patients.
Again, the cleanliness Of the bu llings
ID sufficient. l think, to can for especial
remark from the friends, .who visit the
hospitals. Soldiers who are unit for
Geld duty, by reason Of sickness, are re-
tanned here and light duties assigned
to them, and they, knowing the hard
ships their sick brethren have endured,
attend to their several positions with care
aud watchfulncss. They receive no ex-
ira pay BIZ that allowed under ordinary
circumstances, and are consequently no
expense to the Government beyond that
which, BY oath and obligation, they are
bound to receive.
