CAMP RANDALL ITEMss-We VISIT
ed Camp Randall this Morning Thr
new hospital is in working order, ana
contains all the sick in camp. 1t is
the only post hospital in Wisconsin,
and disabled soldiers from all our reg
;ments are admitted into Ii. mere
are now in hospital l45 patients, oV OF
whom are of the 65 left here by the
oFtb regiment at the time of their de>
nsrture last week, SO are from the 3Oth
regiment, and six are from various oth-
or regiments. We noticed in the cor
valescent ward a sergeat from the Ioln
regiment, who enlisted IN S
county. The poor fellow mas oeen
ficted with a chronic ~dysentery lot
the last eight months, eontracCeu ~
Island No 10. but is nevertheless ID
Good fesb, and looks in a fair way TO
Tccover, But few of the patients are
in q critical condition, most OF them
being down with the mumps or mea-
sles. Nearly all Of them were GheerT
full and appeared to be doing well an
received the best care and treatment,
the surgeons not only being fully qua
fled and competent, but also entlreiv
willing to do their duty. NO one eA
cent the officer in command at the post,
or those on duty at the hospital lsPef
mitted to 20 into the hospital "itnouC
a pass from the surgeon. The chaP>
lain. Rev. ASA V. GREEN, appeared 70
be doing his duty faithfully. found
him in n of the wards at prayer W4tb
the men. and kindly receiving any let
tiers ard messages for their friends a.
home. Mr.. GREEN was formerly a
steamboat captain on the Mississippi,
and while he is truly a christian gems
tleman, he has by nc means lost that
keen insight into human nature which
his former position gave him.
The main hospital building IS 44O
fest in length, including two wings,
The main part of the wings are each
% feet in width. Each wing forms a
ward, and the main part of the build
ing is divided into two wards. There
are now about $50 hunks placed III
their proper position in the hospital,
and there is sufficient room to accom-
modate so more. The walls OF the N
tire structure are substantially built OF
inch boards placed upright, and bat
tened both inside and out. Ample ar.
rangements for ventilation are made
in the roof. Each ward is heated by
two large stoves, the pipes of which
are extended overhead the entire
length of the room, and the tempera>
ture kept up is very equable and
agreeable. The kitchen arrangements
are ample, and seem to be particular
ly well adapted to The ends sought.
The whole number of attendants at
the hospital is over twenty.
The soldiers in the hospital do not
get 80 much reading matter as they
would like. Any contributionsof books
and papers will be gladly received by
them, and may be left at the Madison
Post office, in care of the Chaplain
We hope our citizens will not weary
in their liberal efforts in this direction,
bearing in mind, as they will, that moth
ing is more cheering to the poor in
valid soldier, far from the friends Of
home, than a pleasant book or paper.
Recruits are coming in slowly for
the various regiments in the field
Thirty~three have been examined by
the surgeons since the Sd ofFebruary,
ten of whom reported themselves this
morning. There are about fifty draft
ed men in camp, who are under the
charge Of Capt. E. r, CHASE, and oth~
ers are being reported from day.to day.
The camp looks rather deserted since
the 25th have gone, but the quarters
ofthe 30th presented their usually neat
appearance, and the men in them are
as comfortable and cheerful as ever.
