PEEsoNAL--We had the pleasure last
week OF making the acquaintance Of DR.. ;.
s. French, who has Just returned from the
Potomac army. DR.. French has been in
the service as surgeon for three years, and
resigned on account Of permanent i'll health.
For some time past he has been surgeon OF
the 10th Infantry, and also Of the Brigade
to which the 10th Is attached. His resi-
dence l. Battle Greek.
From his long service in the army the
Doctor Is thoroughly posted on every thing
connected with his profession; and we there
fore, took occasion. partly 10 satisfy our
own doubts, aud partly on account Of un-
favorable statements we had seen 10 make
inquiries as 10 the efficiency, usefulness and
honesty of the Sanitary Commission and lis
agents. On these points he was able To
answer intelligently, because his business
had brought him in continual contact with
their doines He regarded the organiza-
ton a. showing "a higher degree of civiliza-
ton than had been displayed heretofore IN
anv part Of the world, no association of
the kind having appeared in any other ma
ton. The Commission furnishes sick and
wounded soldiers with those articles of food
and drink which the Government does not
supply. and Of which they would otherwise
be deprived; il brings them to the soldiers
at the time they most need them. as they
come in from the battlefield. and after "a
long march; it follows them around from
camp 10 camp, and. when necessary, IL
supplies them with clothes az time when
the surgeon has stripped oil their bloody
and dirty garments, and their own KNAPP
sacks are lost, and the government cloth
ING is far in the rear.
Their agents are paid permanent salaries
and soon become experienced in their bust
ness DR.. French had never known sin
instance in which the liquors or other sup
plies of the Commission had been sold, or
given away for improper purposes. by the
agents Ofthe association. On the contrary
he had often admired the facility with which
they were always on hand 10 do good by
supplying necessities at the exact time and
place where they could not be supplied in
any other way. He relates an instance
which occurred during the battles of the
Wilderness. On account of 4 change OF
position, it became necessary TO remove the
Division Hospital two miles further back.
He started with the sick and wounded in
forty-ive ambulances, leaving the tents and
provisions to come in the heavy wagons.
But none of these came till the next day.
having been prevented by the passage OF
troops all night over the only bridge that
could be used. Thus all the inmates of the
Hospital must have remained all night
without shelter, and 81 hours without food
had not the Sanitary wagon driven up. and
furnished the whole company with food and
blankets.
