Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1863-11-03

We have the Memphis BHLotin Of The 23d ulk
the columns of which, however, are devoid Of
anything hat would prove interesting to cur
readers. The local editor says there was
nothing new at the living block yesterday, save
the arrival Of thirty nine desertsrs from the
Federal srmy, = portion of whom belonged to
Gen. shsrman's corps. Tho fellows sFe safely
lodged now, and VIC trust viii &c. their full
deserts
A ere occurred On Tennessee street, on the
night Of The 22d, consuming one building and a
shanty. No particulars given.
There ara at present in the Overlon hospital,
says The BuRistia:
Tires hundred and eighty-two Fsdersls and
ninety-0Be Coriederstss-naiUng the total sick
four hundred and sevsntY-fnree. An ineonsider-
able number Of both ara of the CoilierVille
wounded. an are in excellent condition, es3e-
cially the "rebs,' who not only enjoy equally
with the Feds the good things OF the hospi-
tai, but the additional luxury of bouquets, cake
and other "ehicten-6xias,' spicsd with the
sweet smiles Of the loving ladies' C) who bring
them. Nearly ell are eouvalescing, and, grouped
10 rooms about the cheerful Ere, engage in read
ing or conversation. while on their door you
read the platsrd: "No patients admitted in this
room whatever ~ Verify, it were slm0st a
pleasure to be confined ia this Golconda of tydi-
ness and comfort. The patients want for moth
ing. They have many things greater variety
Of ediols8, I ween, than a majority of our cii-
zens 1t would do your very eyes good to see
the stock Of sanitary stores on TIA table.
Pies, cakes, fruits of every variety; i%eilies,
jsmg and preserves Of al kinds, pickles, pota-
toes and ingi0s; hard, soft, boiled, scrambled
and fried vegetables Of every description. Any
thing AID everything good to eat you desire. al
done up IN the BEST style, and milk pure and
unsdHlteratsd, brought from Presidents island,
where there is sn excellent dsiry Of one hundred
aud forty COWS, donated 70 the Government by
Mr.. Strong of Illinois. What a contrast in the
0vsTtOn Of to-day with the OVerton of eighteen
months ago. Then it WAS the slaughter house"
and there were two things shout it suggestive
Of this s%o5riquet. One was the rspidity of the
murders perpetrated thsrs BY Confederate
qaacks, the other the general Glihiuess of the
place. L is different now. No excTescencs
marks the floors or beds-buf cleanliness, purity,
n~eatness; weiLscoured doers, white-washed
walls, snowy linen, nice blankets, pare white
sheets, clean spittoons, everything in order. On
the whole, ne give It IS our opinion that there
is no better arranged hospital North or South,
in this or any other department., than the Over
ton.
The Sisters, nine IN number, from Evansville.
Indiana, appear. here shining like angels st
winter parties. They speak TO you only if you
are sick or wounded. If unable to help your
sell, they help you. If gloomy, down-cast and
sick at heart, they have gentle words Gnd give
consolation.
From this beautifully drawn picture Of the
creature and angelic comforts in and about the
Over.on, We infer that "ys local " has been
wired, segared and fesstsd by his friend J. C.
Grier HyPersstt, sssistant-suTgeon, who is in
Of the hospital.
The following is he Bntetin's report of the
market:
The arrivals Of cotton yesterday were eK-
remedy largo, especially in tho forenoon, and
nCssibly amounted 10 over f0ur hundred bales
There was not much demand, however, and
most Of it was held for better prices. This dull /
1=ss, and he extensive arrivals of the last few
has caused 2 great accumulation Of cotton, |
lrd il is probable there is more of the staple in
own, than there bas been for msnv = 5sy. Al
s~siss.srs duh, and seme cotton was dis
posed Of at lower prices, from the 5ast Informs
iln we are able 70 receive. We deem il irexDpdi-
