CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 10, 1885,
The min that for two days has dclnged the |
town and swollen the river, has ceased, and |
to-day the sun is shining.
The work on the defenses Of the "Valley |
City" which Tcceiyed temporary check, has !
nents have been formed into "pick " and
"shovcl" brigades. Already the change In !
the appearance Of the town is quite visible, |
and VIXEN all has been completed that has |
been 1aid ont, question whether the natives |
Of the place will be able to see any rescm-
blancc between the quiet little Chattanooga |
of 1850, Us It nestled between the groy bluffs |
OF Lookout, and the Chattanooga Of to-day, |
with its duapldated houses, wel1-beateu /

MORTALITY N TIE HOSPITALS.
The mortality in the hospitals in the town
is very large. do not know the exact num-
Der Of the wounded and sick In the hospitals,
hut ind, on examining the register, thGt
since the opening Of tue hospital cemetery.
November "a there have been inferred 247 |
who have died Of wounds aud diseases in the |
Inst seventeen days. The total number in |
TERED, including those killed in action, is 405.
This does not include those killed OF Chatta~ |
noo.a, and buried on the field, and in other |
the 247, have died Of wounds received In the
lste battle. When nc add to these those who
laye died in Sherm1n3s and Hooker's COM
nnands, the number Of deaths will be largely
increased.
PHYSICIANS tell me that there arc large
number Of cases Of gangrenc in the i1ospitals,
from which disease many OF the above nnm-
bcr lave died. The Surgeons, observe, arc
doing all in their power Tor the wounded and
sick Below is i list Of I'LL who have died in
hospital since November %, as registered in
lodics Of clcrcn have been Eent north; the
balance are buried here.

| DIFFICULTIES IN GETTING TO THE FRONT.
Until few days ago passenger cars were
run between Nashville and Stevenson, Ala;
but 50 great Is The tax upon the transporting
facilitics Of the road. that the Government
has found il absolutely necessary to take of
tho passenger cars, and passengers are now
compelled to ride on the outside Of freight
cars. No females are permitted to visit the
front under any circumstances. This is se~
| rious annoyance to the wives Of sick soldiers,
l. who wish to comfort md cheer their brave
husbands. but the necessities Of the service
demand it. An exception, however, is made
in the case Of Mrs Harris, agent Of the Phil
adelphia Ladies' Lid Society, and Mrs. VII

both Of whom arc Lere doing all in their
power for the sick and wounded They are
noble women, performing noble work.
