MILITARY HosPITAL-The Military Hospital
in this city has closed its second year. Its man
agement in that period will challenge comparison
with any of its size in the Union. The total num-
Der of patients treated amount to STA; of these
5,265 were Union soldiers, and SAG were Rebel
prisoners. The total number of deaths among
the Union soldiers were 277, or a fraction over 3
per cent. of the number received. Considering
that only severe cases we're sent to this Hospital,
and that many of them were entirely helpless
when received, the small loss speaks highly for
the medical skill and care of the surgeons 10
charge.
The number of beds in the hospital have re-
Gently been reduced to 900, which will afford a
larger amount of room.
The Government has had the use of the Hos
pital building from the city for two years without
charge for rent. The Surgeon in charge, DR..
Kitchen, is very anxious to have the grounds en-
closed and otherwise improved, and we hope he
will be able to succeed in directing attention to the
necessity Of such improvement. The building
stands upen an open common. How much more
cheerful it would look, and how much better it
would really be, to have the grounds enclosed and
a few shrubs placed around the building, upon
which the eve of the sick could rest.

DEBrs TO THE FAMILIES OF DEAD SoLDIERs.-
IL is stated that the Treasury Department has
this week handed over to the Paymaster General
the amount necessary to pay up the arrears due
to every soldier in the service on back ac-
count. This is all very well as regards the
living; but we hear nothing of the payment of
the arrears owing to the families Of soldiers
killed in battle. Some OF these are due over
twelve months, and the parties entitled to them

Stock for two banks, under the law of Con-
gress, has been subscribed in this city, one
amounting to 81 600. 000, and the other 800,
600. The subscribers are composed chiefly of
our leading business men. About two hundred
companies are formed to do business under this
law in the loyal States 1t is probable that the
currency will not be ready before fall. as we un
derstand that the designs have not vet been adop
ted. This war has already produced wonderful
changes in public sentiment. Here we have a
National banking system adopted, and a uniform
currency, which two years was regarded BY our
statesmen as a thing impracticable and impossi-
bic to be introduced, and that, too, by a man who
a few years ago would have laughed at the idea,
and the plan he has now suggested and intro
duced, had they been proposed to him. Mr.. Chase
is one of the great men this war is destined to
bring to the surface and make act 4 leading part
in this great struggle.
The weather has been mild, with a good deal
Of rain, but not too much to interfere with the
Spring work of the farmers. Vegetation is going
on rapidly. and the accounts from ali parts of the
country say hat the wheat is doing very well
and that the fruit crop promises to be a most
abundant one. The ground is in splendid order
to get in the Spring crop.
Business, beyond the retail and jobbing lines,
which have been good. has been very dull
throughout the week. and but few new features
have been developed calling for special notice.
Flour has been dealt in sparingly. Wheat was
rather frmer. and met with a fair demand. Corn
and oats dull and prices lower.
Whisky lower and very dull There is great
complain: existing regarding the unequal manner
in which the excise duty is being collected. 1t is
alleged that a large amount Is being made in
Kentucky, and interior points in all the States,
which pay no duty: and should this continue it is
supposed that those distillers who pay duty will
have to stop. 1t Is quite probable that there is
great deal Of truth in these complaints; and more
than this, it is probable that similar troubles ex-
ist in other departments OF manufactures as well
as viii ky.
The provision market has been very dull and
but little done, nor has there been any demand
of consequence.
Lard. owing to the advance in gold. has been
held more firmly, but prices of other articles have
been 10 favor or BUYERS.
The grocery market has not changed in any
essential particulars, and the demand has beer
light.

1t will be observed that a call Is published
in this mornings paper for a meeting of the City
Executive Committee and the candidates on the
CITY Democratic ticket, this afternoon at three
o'clock. We are informed that the question Of
withdrawing the ticket win be discussed and de-
termined today. The refusal Of the CITY C0un-
Gil to give the Democrats a representation on the
election boards, aud other indications, lead to the
belief that the election win only be a farce, in
which self respect will keep all Democrats from
participating.
