We have received from a correspondent whose truth.
funess cannot be impeached and WhOse calling enables
him to ascertain facts unknown to the public and with
held from the authorities letter containing very grave
charges aganst hospital attendants The facts stated
ought BY all the light but unless the ac
cusations can be made specific, we very much doubt
whether any notes would be taken Of them by the su
tbortes The writer is wiling thai his letter should
be used in any way Ne may think proper, and does not
intimate desire to withhold his name. We feel very
ssre, however, that its publication would bring him into
trouble and vo would suggest therefore, visit in per-
son TO the Surgeon General Tha. officer may lot re
eevs the writer very cordially, yet we know not what
other course should be pursued. Something ought to
be done, but Whist It Is very difficult to tell.

Once more, in the hour of victory, we are called upon

Generals W. r. Scurry aud Horace Randall have fall
