Of toe twentySone who were tr ated by
the RegImental Surgeons, nine died IN pri
Vate. residences of kind and loyal citizens,
which was per cent. of mortality much
greater than those treated IN our hospitals,
IS nearly one third OF the fatal cases occur
red in private houses, and yet four fiji tbs Of
all the cases treated were in hospital or
quarters. The success in the hospitals is
attributed to the vigilance and kind care Of
The nurses appointed to that most responsi
BILE position. Not that | would detract from
she benevolent and loyal citizens OF the
place that just mede Of praise they so
'ichIy merit for their kind attention SO free
y bestowed upon our sick and suffering SOL
iiers. by freely opening their houses to re
eve any enc asking admission and then
anything in their power to do,
md they have been equally attentive and
lind to those in our hospitals, and for
which patriotic kindness they have the CRATE
ul Acknowledgements of the Surgeon.
At this time the SICK lis. averages about |
ixty five, and out Of that number only about
ighteen under treatment, with fair pros. |
ects ola decreasing list.
During the first four months had charge |
t the regiment, which was from the I'd of
eptember, 1862 to the last day OF Decem
er, the daily average on the sick list was
nirty three, and during the four months the
'hole number Of cases treated amounted to
iteen hundred and eight, and but three
eaths. The cause OF a grea er mortality
uring the past three months than the four
ntecedents was the depraved condition OF |
ie mems systems, causing the attack and
luse OF diseases unusually grave, SO much
, that in some cases they we're wholly un-
'nscious in twenty -four hours, and cied in
om two to five days. The deprayed con
ition Of systems spoken OF was caused by
he state of the weather, and manner Of
intering the troops, and the vast amount of
ct and muddy weather necessarily conf.
I'd the men to their tents during the day,
le running out and in caused a dampness
the ground and straw on which the men
y, to such a degree that combined with
,at from the stove succulent vegetation was
owing under them while sleeping, and
ere being no suitable place provided for
70 men to eat, they OF necessity carried the
esses into their tents and often spilling
me coffee, drop crumbs Of bread, pieces oi

ID decompose. The cooking was often
'ither well done nor cleanly, in some in
ances might say abominable. The frying
IN has been too much used. the soups not
ade often enough, the coffe, was often
easy and Ill favored. The men pay but /

the Surgeon on these points, and # is OH
when the company officers second his eff ,

rry to say this does not often occur.
This brief Report has been made at the
luest of some Of the officers, and is respec- !
