THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 80, 1868.

Worcester, fine, gentlemanly little fellow.
| gave him the last handkerchief had More
than half the men are Germans and Irish, and
they bear the scars of many battles. Sickles'
brigade is pretty well represented, and one
remarked they had almost always had to COM
mence the battles. Some boys not seventeen
years old have been in all the battles in Vir-
gina and never been wounded before. There
are fifty men in this ward. The hospital is d.
vided into wards, which will hold fifty-fve
men, and five hundred more are coming in
to-day. If you would form an idea of the
hospital buildings the Worcester barracks
would give you one. But the buildings are
arranged in the form of a circle commencing
at headquarters a track is laid inside to CON
vey in a hand-car, the food to the different
wards. In the centre is the chapel, small
building. The buildings are new and UNI
painted. | think they are well arranged,
both for patients and nurses. If this brief
description give you an ilea, you will not be
likely to be disappointed in the view, as
was, should you ever visit it. The delicacies
most desired are jellies, wines, lemons, fans
and pocket handkerchiefs, calico dressing
gowns, hospital Shirts cotton and linen rags,
and bandages. The matr0n says cotton is
better than linen. The raspberry Jelly and
grape was peculiarly fitted for some of the
patients, as one said of the raspberry, (who
could not like wines nor almost anything
alse,) tell you that tastes good. The dried
currants too were very desirable. | mention
this as l wished the lady who sent them to
know how acceptable these things WERE One
Dutchman said, when | gave him handker-
chief, did no: know there were such good
people in Massachusetts. The books we're
well received, though not so much needed as
the Herald, as well as other papers; besides
they have library, and very good one.
There is one man from or state, of the 18th
regiment, who used to live in Worcest ter, by
the name of Ballard; he seemed very glad to
see some one from there. | have endeavor
ed to give you as briefly as possible the work
to be done here. You have enabled me by
your gifts, to see the benefits of the work of
the Christian Committee, "a kind word in
one hand-a gift in the other" | forgot to
mention the paper which was very acceptable,
as many Of them are without funds. | have
endeavored to bestow your gifts as | think
you would desire. | could pass by none If
then any one desires to help fill another box
to send me, can promise you the soldiers
receive it, and will, am sure, hold you in
kind remembrance. | should have been very
sad here, have seen SO much needed, with
nothing to do with. | could write you much
more, but this must suffice.
Yours, &c. E.

ed until she left Morris Island and then re.
turned to look after those who were left be-
hind. The assistant surgeon was at the camp
on st. Helena Island, attending to duty there
Lieut.. Littletield was also in charge of the
camp at st. Helena. Capt. Bridge and Lieut.
Nation are sick and were at Beaufort or vi
cinity. Capt. Partridge has returned from
the North, but not in time to participate in
the action.
Or the privates and non-commssiuBed Off
GERS send you a list of one hundred and for
ty-t0ur who are now in the Beaufort hospitals
A few others died on the boats or since their
arrival here. There may be others at the
Hilton Head hospital, and others are doubt
less on Morris island, but have no names or
statistics relative to them. Those in Beaufort
are well attended to, just as well as the white
soldiers, the attentions Of the surgeons and
nurses being supplemented by those of the
colored people here, who have shown a great
interest in them. The men of the regiment
are very patient, and where their condition
at all permits them, are cheerful. They ex-
pressed their readiness to meet the enemy
again, and they keep asking if Wagner is yet
taken. Could any one from the north see
these brave fellows as they lie here, his preju,
dices against them, if he had any, would all
pass away. They grieve greatly at the loss
OF Col Shaw, who seems to have acquired
strong hold on their affections.
They are attached t o their other officers,
and admire Gen. Strong, whose courage was
SO conspicuous. | asked Gen. Strong if he
had any testimony in relation to the regiment
to be communicated to you. These are his
precise words, and l give them as l noted
them at the time -
1.-The 9th did well, and noby; only the
fall of Col Shaw prevented them from enter
ing the fort. They moved up as gallantly as
any troops could, and with their enthusiasm
they deserved better fate
The regiment could not have been under u
better officer than Gen. Strong He is one
of the bravest and most genuine men. His
soldiers loved him as a brother, and go where
you would through the camps, you would hear
them speak of him with enthusiasm and affec-
ton. His wound is severe, and there are
apprehensions as to his being able to recover
from it. Since | found him at the hospital
tent on Morris Island about . l-2 o'clock
on Saturday, / have been all the time at
tending to him or the officers of the 54th, both
on the boats and here. Nobler spirits it has
never been my fortune to be with. Gen
Strong, as he lay on the stretcher in the tent,
was growing all the while for the poor fellows
who lay uncared for on the battle field and
the officers of the 54th have had nothing to say
of their own msfOrtunes, but have mourned
constantly for the hero who led them to the
charge from which he did not return. | re-
member well the beautiful day when the flags
were presented at Rcadville. and you told the
regiment that your reputation was to be iden-
titled with its fame. 1t was day of festivity
and cheer. | walk now inthese hospitals, and

McDoUGALL HOSPITAL,

FoRT SCHUYLER, July %, 1868.
M. Editor Permit me through the col
umns of your paper to express my thanks to
those who so generously aided in filling a nice
large box for the wounded soldiers here. The
soldiers were very grateful for the handker-
chiefs, fans, wines, and jcllies, and other lux
uries you put it in my power to bestow upon
them. l have been so happy in giving them
that wished to thank you, one and all. Mrs.
Stephens, the matrou, wishes me to thank you
in her name also. And those brave soldiers
send theirs. l could not cOnfine my interest
to my own ward, for where there was sick
one that sick one l desired should know that
there were those in what they call the ''abo-
litionist state" who sympathized with those who
went not out from them as well as for her own.
| hope to teach them that we are not so bad
as they have imagined, and that there may be
a charm in the name of aboltttoRiSt by the in
terest you shall manifest in them. Said one
to me, yesterday: massachusetts does a
great deal for her soldiers in the feld-more
than any other state" l have not found in

from there. / saw one in another ward from
