SocIABLE Since the arrival of the reb-
els in this hospital our own soldiers and
them have become quite sociable with one
another. In walking round the circle one
will not unfrequently notice two Union
soldiers, each with a secesh partner, en-
gagged in friendly game of cards. They
do not appear in the present situation as
if they were ever engaged in mortal COM
bat on the field of battle, and yet his own
partner may have fired the very shot which
has perhaps, made cripple of him for lite
Here men from both armies engaged IN the
bloody battle of Gettysburg meet, and
with that trait so peculiar to the American
character. easily adapt themselves to the
circumstances around them. The result
of this intercourse is that many of the RED
els learn how grossly they have been de-
ceiyed by their leaders in regard to the
nature and object Of the present struggle
and many Of them with whom we have
conversed express earnest wishes that va
Wis 4 Co. may soon stretch hemp, and the
Union speedily be restored.

Anecaote OF wellington.

Carew, the sculptor, told Hayden the
following story of the Duke Of Wellington:
The Duke was at the MarcIioness of Devon
shire's, and the ladies plagued him for
some of bis stories. For some time he de-
clared oil his stories were in print At
last he said, ''Well, I'll tell you one that
has not been printed. In the middle Of
the battle Of Waterloo he saw a man in
plain clothes riding about on a cob in the
thickest fire. During a temporary lull the
Duke heckoned himS and he rode over
He asked him who he was and what bust
ness he had there. He replied he was an
Englishman, accidentally at Brussels, that
he had never seen fight. and wanted to
see one. The Duke told him he was in
imminent danger of bis life; be said, mot
more than your Grace" and they parted.
But every now and then the Duke saw the
Goldman riding about in the smoke, and at
last having nobody to send to a regiment,
he beckoned to this little fellow, and told
him to 50 up to that regiment and order
them to charge giving him some mark of
authority the colonel would recognize
Away he galloped. aud in few minutes
the Duke saw his order obeyed. The Duke
asked him for his card. and found in the
evening, when the card fell out of his sash,
that he lived at Birmingham. aud was
button-maker! When at Birmingham, the
Duke inquired of the firm. and found that
he was their traveller, and then in ireland.
When he returned, at the Dukes request,
he called on him in London. The Duke
was happy to see him, and said he had a
vacancy in the Mint at $500 year, where
accountants were wanted. The little cob
man said it would be exactly the thing, and
the Duke installed him--much to his Grace's
honor.

III accordance with an order received
from the Surgeon Generals Office, all the
lady nurses employed in this hospital. with
the exception of two, were discharged from
service last week, and four have already
left the roint-Miss Sewell on Tuesday
night, and Misses Kimball, Goodrich and
Niles on Saturday morning. Those re-
naming will probably leave in few days.
The occasion for their discharge, we under
stand, was the sending of rebel sick and
wounded to this hospital, as the order des-
ignated the time of their arrival as the time
for dlscharging the lady nurses. The Sis
ters now have charge Of all the wards cx-
