an etidsncs Of the bArbarity and want
Of pfnoiple in Confederate officers. An
aitenpt WaR. also made to destroy the
Central Hospital, which contained over

ofoiannnce stores which had been stor.
ed the building, consisting Of powder

Ndical officers protested against this
but we're treated with contempt, and be-
ioreihere was time TO remove the sick
the walls we're riddled with flying balls
andshells, and finally an explosion shook
the building, destroying every door and

It westhe utmost s1ortiou that the hos.

to march off every sick man who had not

tale will be brought before the public
