Sad Picture of our Sick Men in Richmond

May last by a band of North Carolina ran.

DR.. Green of the rebel army, has just made an
official report to secretary Wclles.
For while he says he had access to the
hospitals where the Union prisoners were con-
fined, and since the battle Of Chickamauga the
number of deaths average some fifty per day,
the most prevalent diseases being those of the
respiratory and digestive organs. Lately they
have increased alarmingly, caused by the bad
food given as rations, and insufficient clothing
and shelter. The cases coming from Belle
Island to the hospital all argue starvation.
Ten per cent. of the prisoners are sick men,
Corn bread and sweet potatoes form the daily
food given to the sick, and very little OF that
In one instance the ambulance brought six
teen to the hospital, and during the night
seven died. 1t is a sad scene to look at the
gaunt and sharp visaged prisoners.

The news from the mountain battle fields
of Tennessee grows brighter and brighter.
The movement started three weeks ago UNI
der Hooker, to get possession of Raccoon
mountain and Lookout valley, has resulted in
dlspossessing the enemy of all the strong
places about Chattanooga, and the pursuit of
Bragg's whole army in route and disorder in
to the interior. The latest advices left
Grant in pursuit of the flying traitors-as
many of them as were not yet captured, maxi
ing their way to Dalton, railroad junction,
to-day of considerable Importance southwest
of Chattanooga. Very early in the rebellion
the rebels who knew the stragetic value of
Chattanooga, occupied and fortified it. On
the 9TH of September last the army of the
Cumberland, under Rosecrans, after the sue
cessful campaign through southern Tennessee
and northern Georgia, entered Chattanooga
without difficulty. Since then it has been the
effort Of Braggs army TO render its occupa-
ton dangerous and untenable. Their most
important posttionwas Lookout mountain from
the eminence of which their batteries cOm-
Gus Importance, the Chattanooga and Nash
vile railroad, thus compelling us to maintain
a communication north of the Tennessee with
Bridgeport, double in length, and over noun
famous and almost impossible roads. This
was the only great advantage left to the rebels
after Hooker's brilliant successes in Lookout
valley. 1t was at this time the military re.
viewer of the Richmond Enquirer INDUCED
the mournful reflection that, though the feder-
ais were out-tought at Chckamanga, it looked
as though Bragg had been out-generaled at
Chattanooga" The reviewer may now as
sure his readers that Bragg has been out
fought as well rs out-generaled, and that the
same fate awaits him wherever he chooses to
''try fall" with Grant or the incompatible
commanders under him. The weeks fight
ing foots up on the rebel side as follows:
They have lost possession of Lookout noun
tain, Chattanooga valley, Missionary Ridge,
and tile whole region about Chattanooga
They have been defeated at every point where
they have made a stand in that region. They
have lost sixty cannon-perhaps more; seven
thousand prisoners-perhaps more and in
killed and wounded-the number is not esti-
mated, but certainly enough to impair their
usefulness beyond speedy recovery. Before
this overwhelming defeat came uponit the re-
bellion was already staggering under load
greater than it could bear. How long it will
stand under the accumulation of these right
eous disasters is a question to be determined
speedily, and if the people are awake to the
grand opportunities of the hour the winter
need not pass away without witnessing its
death.

NEW YORK, Nov. PA dispatch from

quirer says 'we have some reports from Knox
vile, which seem to indicate that Gen. Burn
side is perfectly secure in his position. The
rebel cavalry are now in the country lying
between Cumberland Gap and Knoxville, but
no damage has been done to our communica-
tions with Gen. Burnside as yet.
Gen. Longstreet has not yet made heavy
assault upon the city, but seems to be anxious
to secure prominent positions for his bate
res So that he can command the place from
different points, and demand capitulation.
He acts as if his force was not sufficient to
hazard heavy battle under existing circum-
stances"
column is already in motion for the relief
of Gen. Burnside, under Gen. Wilcox, and
reintorcements are being sent forward as rap
idly as practicable. Parson Brownlow is in
the interior, and is working hard to keep open
communication with the army.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-There is nothing
later from Burnside. 1t is coniectured that
Lorgstreet will attempt to rejoin Bragg; but
ample provisions have been made to prevent
the consummation of any such attempt. He
will therefore be forced to retreat into Vir-
ginia, if he lie able to get away at all.

s. ,TURDAY. NOVEMEEK as 1883,

The NEws.-The details of the overwhclln-
ing victory of our army near Chattanooga
which we print on the first page this morning,
will be found highly interesting. Gen. Grant
has captured over sixty cannon and continues
to gather in the spoils as he vigorously pur-
sues the rebel Braggart. And the Potomac
army was fighting yesterday, having success
fully crossed the Rapidan on its way to Rich
mond. A late special dispatch from Wash
ington informs us that Gen. Meade is entirely
successful at all points. Calamity are our
heroic armies bringing the days of this infer
nal rebellion to an end.

MAJoR STEARNs' RECRUITS Bowen
OF Tennessee, at an interview in Boston, on
wednesday. with the committee having in
charge the recruiting of coored troops, said
thae unuer the well-arranged system of Major
George l.. stearns such recruits had been
coming in for some weeks at the rate of sew
enty-flve day. Besides recruiting at and
around Nashville, he had headquarters at
Galatin and Murfreesboro. His third roof;
ment is about filed up. Dr. Bowen thought
it safe TO say that Tennessee would furnish
ten thousand colored troops, and the number
might go up to twenty thousand.

ER-SHERMAN.-The three
commanders under Grant whose names are
most honorably connected with the brilliant
military operations Of the week are Thomas.
Hooker, and Sherman. From the beginning
of the movements looking to the dislodgement
OF the rebel army around Chattanooga. one
or all three OF these generals have been con-
splcuous in the advance, and led their COM
mands with dash and energy not often paral-
leled. The troops under them appear to
have been fred with their spirit, and the re-
ported succession of victories is greatly due to
Abe skill which directed and the zeal which
shared in their indomitable enthusiasm and
courage.

On TO RIcHMoSD.-The dispatches state
that Gen. Meade's army is across the Rapi.
dan, and that Gen. Lees is making a vigorous
march toward Richmond. There were vagne
reports of battle near that river yesterday,
in which Lees army was defeated. The re-
ports were premature; but, unless the rebels
make extraordinary time to their entrench-
monts, the result cannot be long delayed.
The signs are auspicious at nearly all points
of the horizon. The army of the Potomac
would win the highest honor If it caught the
inspiration Of the hour and made successful
dash upon the rebel capital
