The disbursements noted above as sent
TO the General Depot of the Sanitary Com
mission at Louisville, comprise the great
bulk of our stores, and have mostly been
forwarded to that point for shipment to
the sub-depots of Nashville and Murfrees-
boro, thence to be distributed to the Gen
eral and Regimental Hospitals of Rose
Grams Army. A portion of these goods
have been sent per hospital steamers to
the hospitals of Memphis, YOung's Point
and Vicksburg. The needs of Burnside's s
Army have also been supplied by the aid
Of these stores, forwarded from the Central
Supply Depot at Louisville.
The shipments made by this Society to
Sanitary rooms at Wheeling, are designed
to supply the demands arisin g in the hos
pitals of Western Virginia. Our agent at
Leayenworth has received from this SOci-
ETY. the stores which have been ordered
for the use of the sick and wounded at Fit.
Scott and other posts in that department.
The private parcels committed to our
care have been very few, and we are hap
py to record a gradual decrease of this
class of goods.
The hospital at Camp Cleveland has re-
ceived from time to time the few articles
that were needed to add to the special diet
list for very feeble patients. The excel
lent arrangements of this hospital have rem
dered our aid unnecessary to any degree
beyond this, though we are Z, ,ady at any
time to honor the demands of its Surgeon
to the extent of our resources
The weekly reports of this Society have
rendere any more minute statement of
our business unnecessary at this time.
We are happy to attest the cordial interest
maintained in our work by all our Branch
Societies, and by many friends in this city
and elsewhere
From an advanced number of the Sani-
tary Reporter, we extract a cheering let
ter from our Agent at Murfreesboro. Fol
lowing upon the report of our own business,
it will be gratifying to our contributors to
know that their gifts have been.prOduetive
of at least a small part of the good that is
recorded by one who has aided in their
distribution for many months.
"The work of the Commission for the
month has been highly satisfactory, no.
thing having occurred to impair its eff
cheney, or diminish the hearty co-opera-
ton on the part of the officers of the army

joyed. The supply Of vegetables distribu-
ted has greatly improved the health and
efficiency of this army. Nogieater amount
of good has ever been accomplished in so
short time, and at an expense compare
lively so slight. The friends at home who
have contributed these supplies should
feel that they have done much TO strengthen
the hands and the hearts Of the soldiers
for the struggle which all feel is close at
hand.
1t will be gratifying to all TO know that
che NEST ample and minu-e preparations
have been made for the care of the wound
ed, should an engagement occur. A spe-
cial medical purveyor has been appointed
for each corps of the army, who has pro-
vided himself with large stock of mcdi-
cines, hospital stores, clothing and dress
ings, and all necessary transportations, to
enable hi n to accompany the army and
issue his stores upon the field when and
where needed. Also, as I mentioned in
my last report, the surgeons of each regi-
ment have very generally furnished them
selves each with a box of hospital stores
and dressings from our supplies, to be
taken with the regiment wherever it moves.
And we have in addition furnished to most
of the division surgeons good supply Of
concentrated beef extract for the same pur-
pose. We hope and expect that all will
thus supply themselves from our stores
now on hand. Should occasion require it,
all our supplies suitable for the purpose
will be pushed forward promptly to the
temporary field hospitals and distributed
aherever they will relieve or alleviate suf-
fering.
Among many facts showing,
as a rule, the earnest devotion Of the sur
geons of this army to their work and their
fidelity in the use of sanitary stores, 1 will
mention only the following: At the time
when potatoes were exceedingly scarce and
valuable, and when the Commission was
furnishing the greatest part which were
available for the army, the surgeon of
-, who had just returned TO this regi-
ment, visited our rooms with his assistant
to ask US if we could do any thing for him.
On exhibiting his person, his legs and
body we're spotted and purplish, with as
little elasticity to the flesh as to piece of
dough; an indentstion from pressure
would remain for many minutes. The
