breezes than can be enjoyed in any city, make
this spacious hospital quite endurable, though
it was not located in grove as it might have
been, and as every hospital should be wherever
possible. Under such circumstances, we were
not surprised to learn that, of the $500 paticpts
received since Grant crossed the Rapidan, but
100 have died; and, notwithstanding many am
putations, it is believed that but few more lives
are even in danger. With coarser diet and
harsher treatment, we have no doubt the NOR
tally would have been doubled.
We greatly apprehend that all our hospitals
are not so well managed and provided as this,
though we were assured that no particle of the
comforts and delicacies here enjoyed are derived
from either the Sanitary or the Christian Commits
sion. But We write to impress on loyal, hui

land, to which these questions do not frequently
present themselves" How fare our brave boys

We spent part Of last Tuesday at the

Of Washington City, under the charge Of DR..
Shepherd of our State, ably seconded by Chap
lain Gaylord of Ohio. OF course, we saw very
sad and touching spectacles, and there were
some features that we thought susceptible of
improvement; but the general aspect was better
than We had expected. There was an album
dance of fresh, wholesome air; there was no
lack of capable and willing attendance; while
the supply Of food was better than we had hoped
to find it. Nonrishing soups, wcll-made toast
fresh vegetables, delicate buildings, &c, are
here abundantly supplied; and. what struck us
as best Of all, there was limited but judi

can select and order meal to his taste. We

The Rebel General Gardner who was taken
prisoner, we believe, at Vicksburg, and has
been confined in Fort Lafayette for some
months past, was taken from the fort at an
early hour yesterday morning, and sent, it is
supposed, TO the headquarters of Gen. Foster in
front Of Charleston. The Rebelprisoners at the
fort are unanimous in their approval of the re-
taliatory action of our Government, and are ex-
ceedingly indignant at the Rebel Government
for their bar arous order placing Union officers
under fire in the City of Charleston. Gen.
Gardner is a son of Col. Gardner, loyal citi-
zen of Washington, and late Postmaster Of that
city.
