TN announcing the denomination of Gov,
Curtin, Of Pennsylvania, as the candidate
for that Office at the fall elections, the Wash
ington Chronicle says:
Never was such an honor more richly
deserved Governor Curtin has maintained
an unspotted reputation throughout his ex-
ecutive career, and has displayed wisdom,
under circumstances of the most perplexing
character, which has been only equalled by
his earnest and practical patriotism. The
Convention would have erred had they pre-
scented any other man to the Union-loving
people for their SURFACES. Many able and
loyal sons as Pennsylvania has, we believe
that no man at the present juncture could
have united upon himself the whole Union
vote as readily and surely as her present
excellent and justly popular Governor.
There viii be no hanging back from the
polls BY the Union men with Gov. Curtin
for their leader"

The News.

There is no special news of interest this
week. Active and energetic operations are
still going on against Forts Wagner and
Sumter, widh but little effect as yet how
ever. Cur largest shot and shell seem to
do scarcely any damage to Wagner, it be-
ing very formidable earthwork. A letter
from there on Monday week says that all
promised of the most certain success.
From Grants department it is stated that
large expedition was being fitted out at
Vicksburg. The freed slaves mostly re-
fused to hire out to their old masters, but
are willing to work for northern men or for
Encle Sam. This shows the attachment
Of the slaves to their masters" just as it is.

THANKSGIVING day was generally OBJ
served in this place, all unnecessary labor
having been suspended by order of the
Surgeon in charge, yet in SO large hos
pital as this there is very little labor which
is unnecessary at any time, and the same
monotonous round of duties have to be per-
formed on the Sabbath day that are re-
quired each of the other days of the week
with but few exceptions. However, ac-
cording to previous appointment Divine
services were held in the chapel at mall
past ten in the morning, conducted by the
hospital chaplain, Rev. j. \, SpoonerI.I
His text was, Thanks be to God, when
giveth us the victory" found in First Cor
inthians, 18th chapter and 9th verse

AZ interesting to oil its readers as possible,
we wish that those skilled In the use Of

sionally, upon any subject of general inter-
est, which they may choose. Also that
they contribute any items of news that
would be interesting and which otherwise
might be overlooked. This invitation is
extended to persons both inside and out of the
hospital, and the communication should in
yariably be accompanied by the name of
the author. for without it, no notice can be
taken of them.

are of the opinion that if it could be induced

ARRIVAL OF More PRISONERS. :

ARRIVAL OF MORE PRISONERS. -Ihc
steamer Star from Washington, arrived
late on Saturday night, with detachment
of the 153d N. Y. ", under command of
Capt Gritty, and about FIVE hundred rebel
prisoners, captured, we understand, only
a few days previous to their being sent
down here. After discharging her ''prc-
cious' cargo the Star started on Sunday
morning on her return trip taking the
guard back with her. A number of the
prisoners expressed themselves as heartily
sick of the war, and desired its close, say
ing ''that it is useless to have further blood
shed; the old Union was better than the
new Confederacy, and they desired to re-
turn to it."

TnE DEArH or YAScEx,-The n. 7
Herald, in speaking of the death of that
noted rebel, says The death of that arch
plotier of this terrible Southern rebellion,
William L. Yancey, is deplored among the
rebel journals as involving the loss of a
saint, who embodied in himself almost, If
not quite, all the talents and all the virtues
of all the great men Of ancient and modern
times. But justice to other dead men,
even as rebels, requires that Yancey, in his
true merits, should be handed over to an
admiring posterity. He was nothing more
than a restless, plotting reyolutionist, a
noisy frc-eater, an eloquent blatherskite,
always in hot water, and never satisfied to
let well enough alone in anything With
his decease agreat bag Of wind has collapsed,
and nothing more

Fort Wagner is an irregular has

8 guns 8 guns have recently been
mounted on the sea face to annoy the
monitors. On the Southern face o.
the work all the distractions that en-
cheering skill can devise have beer
placed so as to annoy our troops in
case Of assault. On the Northern side
of the work there has been erected a
musketry parapet, which not only com.
mands the approach from the North
ward, but enables its garrison to be
sheltered in the event of our troops
gaining an admission into the interior.
1t has its ravelins, galleries and GOV.
cred ways, and upon the whole is a
very formidable work. The magazine
is situated in the Southern centre OF
the seaward portion of the work, and
although exposed to the fire of oul
iron-clads, it is 80 well built as to defy
the projectiles which have alread,
struck it.

The Labors of Gen. Grant.

People have been wondering what
the ever-active, never-ceasing worker,
Gen. Grant, has been doing since the
Fourth of July. He has not been air.
ing his honors, nor parading his lau.
rels, nor blowing his trumpet-nor
even, like Hercules, after the twelve
labors, has he subsidized. The tele.
graph relieves our anxiety for him.
"Gen. Grant has perfected a complete
system of mounted patrols between
Vicksburg and New Orleans, which,
with the gunboats, affords ample pro-
lection to vessels" Thus has this
great soldier put the finishing touch to
the gigantic work which was begun
by him two years ago.
