BILE, each division has it's own hospital, where
those who have been comrades in the camp, on
the march, and in battle may still sympathize
and cheer each other. But you must not picture
to yourself such hospitals as these in and about
Washington, with their neat beds and thousand
conveniences, for it is no more possible to make
the improvized hospital at Fredericksburg re-
semble these than to make meal by the camp
fire resemble a meal by our own firesides. 1t is
all mal<e-Shift of course; an attempt to put the
sufferers as nearly as possible in the condition
they need be in. There they lie along the floor,
raised from it only by their blankets surgeons,
dressers nurses attendants of all kinds busily
striving to relieve their misery; some utterly
helpless, some able to help not only themselves
but their disabled neighbors And for all who
have the ability and the inclination to work,
there is work, work from morning to night and
often from night to morning. Entries and outer
steps all covered with men whose arms and
hands are wounded but not severely to
prevent their sitting up walking, and at least
half the men in the streets bear the broad white
band, that badge of suffering loyalty, on arm, or
hand, or head.
CAL day long, and at intervals through the
night, there move along the streets the ambu-
lance trains that bear the wounded from Freder-
iclzsburg to the Potomac bring fresh cases
from the front in numbers more than sufficient
to fill the places just vacated in the hospitals
With these trains mingle, of course, the various
transportation trains of the army, for all supplies
go through Fredericksburg at present There are
many civilians in the streets and Hospitals, most
of whom are surgeons from home, who have
volunteered for the great emergency, MEM
bers of the unwearying Sanitary and Christian
Commissions, bearing supplies to the various
hospitals to which they have been detailed by
the Medical Directors, laboring to dress"
feed and cleanse the wounded. The nation will
rise up and call them blessed" and those who
have seen their good deeds will be indignant to
hear the unrelieved suffering, that is inevitable
in such sudden and immense influx of wound
ed, charged to some neglect or inefficiency
the part of these noble Commissions. AS long
as is an imperfect, finite being, his attempts
to relieve such amount of misery as follows
great battles must be imperfect, however great
be his good will.
&c know that all this is sad picture, sadder
than anything but sin but have yet one piece
of testimony to add, the same that is borne by
all who have witnessed these terrible scenes, viz:
that the patience, and even the cheerfulness of
these sufferers is incredible. It is heroic
anything that be on the battle field
Discipline, courage, endurance, have all been
put to the test in these men and have not been
found wanting. God grant them still farther the
patience and trusting submission which they
will long need, and may the nation never cease
to honor them.'

VIM H. Rogers and John Fahey, were captured

On SATURDAY NIGHT LAST, two men, named
VIM. III. Rogers and John Fahey, were captured
in the Chesapeake Bay, near Annapolis, while
attempting to cross with a rebel mail, in yawl-
boat. They had about two thousand letters half
of them addressed to persons i'll Baltimore, and
the residue to New Workers, Pladelphians, Bos-
tonians, Washingtonans, and various other in
individuals throughout the country. Also a
quantity of gold, silver and Southern bonds.
