The Military Hospital at ST. Peter
Letter from Dr. he Esoutillier.

To the Editor of the Pioneer:
This place and vicinity has suffered very
much from diseases during the last two
months. A large number OF paople, near
ly Or quite six thousand, 10000 fled from
their homes, and filled St. Peter to its Ut
most capacity during the autumnal months,
they were agglomerated or crowded to-
gether to an incOnceivable extent. The
consequences have been very disastrous to
the citizens and troops at this point. Most
of the diseases have assumed very ma
ignant form, and a great many deaths have
occurred. Two hundred and thirty nine
soldiers have been sick during the month
Of December, and the daily report exhibits
an average of fifty-seyen sick-in hos
pital.
at tire time took charge, December
LIST, 1862, the hospital was destitute of al
most every thing that is required for the
comfort of the sick. The ladies of differ
ent Soldiers Aid Societies Immediately re-
sponded, in a very generous manner to our
appeal for assistance, and in reply to many
inquiries, would state, that owing to the
.iudicious management Of the Stewards de-
partment (by Steward Tomlinson) that he
has saved about eighty dollars, which will
be a6undantly sufficient to purchase all
the delicacies necessary for the sick, not
furnished by the Government.
But there are things, like under clothing,
etc., that are not allowed by the army re-
gulations to be purchased out Of the hos
pital fund, which will be very much need
ed during the winter months.

From the Cincinnati Daily Times. March q. 1861.
The Scandinavian Remedies appear to be
growing in favor with the public, if we may
judge by the testimonials constantly received
by the proprietor. A letter from Wisconsin, to
be found in our advertising columns, announ
ces that among the physicians of that locality
it is becoming very popular, and what is very
unusual, is being adopted by them in their
practice, as a cure for many diseases which they
cannot treat etfectually in any other way. We
understand that the immense trade carried on
for several years in these medicines has during
the present yearly doubled. Their process OF
operating is by thorough publication of the
blood, and a consequent eradication OF disease

In DIsrREss.-The "star-spangled BAN
ner'' was hoisted yesterday morning over
the dome of the Capitol, Union down, and
foated in that condition for an hour or
two-a signal of distress. 1t was surmised
that a blow-up in the cabinet had occur
red, or that the Commissioner of Statistics
had choked himself to death in trying to
utter a forty syllabled word, or that the
members seats which had cost them so
much labor to get, were burning up.
Whatever may have been the trouble, it
was hushed up on the assembling OF the
legislature, and the flag hoisted properly.
