The Sauitary Com n.lssisn.

A correspondent of the Bostoa Transcript
writes as follows respecting the proceedings OF
the Executive Committee of the Sanitary Com
mission who met In this city last week
"The condition of the troops at Norfolk,
Yorktown, and thereabouis, was represented as
bad, very bad, and growing worse. These poor
fellows are thoroughly saturated with the ma
laria of the Peninsula, and no quantities OF
quinne or whiskey can relieve them. Change
Is the great desideratuin. DR.. Sinners was di.
rectcd to wait upon the acting Surgeon General,
and urge the transfer of these troops ere Il
should be too late. Col. Barnes, acting Bur-
geon General, replied that the Medical Inspect
ors had already recommended q change, and
that still further efforts would he made for re-
lief
"It Is well known that idleness 10 the curse
of camp life. At Parole Camp, Annapolis,
there are several thousand soldiers, virtually
prisoners, awaiting exchange. These men are
becoming almost worthless. Those who do
not suffer physically become dcmoralized. The
Sanitary Commission, to keep these men iu
good condition bodily, which will insure thelI
Improvement mentally, propose to introduce
gymnastics and athletic sports." ....
"Thcsc will not cost Government anything
but will save money, by keeping these soldier
In good trim. The captive traitors at For
McIlenry arc allowed the privilege Of playing
ball and participating in other sports. TIT
Commission hope to get this matter through
In season TO save some Of the unfortunates
Some of the most Interesting reports received
by the Commission come IRON the ladies con
nected Herewith. Their accounts of thei
labor In the hospitals and on the battle fields
read more like romance, though strictly withi
the hounds Of truth. The share borne by ou
women in this contest can thus be gathered uI
aud the story yet to be told will be Of surpass
ing interest. The financial condition of tn
Commission has been the matter of much cor
sideration. A committee has been appolnte
to carefully prepare an estimate OF expend
lures likely to ensue, and draw up an appeal
, the people urging them to revive their formt
interest In this noble work. No doubts are fe
us To u hearty and generous response to tn
: appeal, aud the coming winter will doubllei
witness a repetition of the fairs aud festlva
. of two winters ago in aid of the Sanitary Con
mission"
