INTERESTING INCIDENTS.
POINT OF Rocks HOSP

PoINT OF Rocks HOSPITAL, }
Army of the James, Va, April 25th, 1865.
To the Editor of the Wig:
Many ale the mighty movements, both military
and civil that attract the attention and demand the
calmest consideration of the people.
II is my wish, on the present occasion, through
the medium of your valuable paper, to call atten-
ton to an incident or two of a humber sort, yet
quite as touching and revealing a most interesting
state of feeling amid the walks Of hospital life.
A few days since, in an appropriate way, splen-
did case of surgical instruments of French manu-
facture was placed upon the Doctors table, bear
ing the following inscription
presented to
Surgeon II. B. Fowler, 18th n. II. Vol,
in charge Point of Rocks Hospital, Va,
by the clerks and orderlies on duty at his office,
as slight Token of Respect
April goth, 1865"
A day or two after and still manifesting the same
delightful affection, gold watch, chain, SEAL etc,
valued at about s40O was presented, exhibiting the
annexed inscription:
"Presented to
Surgeon H. b. Fowler,
by the
stewards, clerks, ward-masters, guards,
nurses and attendants of
Point of Rocks Hospital,
as an appreciation of his character
as an officer and a man.
These beautiful inscriptions manifest, better than
words of mine, the estimation in which the Sur
geon of this institution is held. But may be per-
mitted to add, that never was there one who more
fully appreciates, and with a warmer heart, re-
spends to such an exhibition of spontaneous affec-
ton.
Wisdom, energy and Kindness, preside in eminent
simplicity and discretion over this Hospital. Its
three thousand patients are thankful for the atten-
tion and care received. Seldom have known such
unanimity Of feeling, such heartiness in co-opera-
ton, and such eminent success so palpably mani
fest. Long may such state Of things continue and
forever may Hadley and his subjects dwell in the
land of peace. u. q. j.

of these subjects but merely mention them TO show the
Importance to the welfare Of the people of the State OF
an early recognition the part of the general govern

the State government for, after ALL il Is TO the Stat
cover nment that we look for that legislation which
will nut in speedy operation The machinery by which
the energies of the people will be directed to the general
Improvement OF the country.
Another most important subject which will demand
the early and earnest attention of the State authorities
when invested with governmental powers, is the ques
ton of a partition of the State. cannot bear to con-
template the fact that Virginia should lose the mob est
part of her ancient dominion and | cannot but hope
that the immediate for the partition having
been removed, the people Of West Virginia, in common
with ourselves will vi tose reunited every portion
of our old Commonwealth and that they will consider
fayorably our overtures for that object.
lam sfed that by the reopening Of our lines Of COM
muncation the reestabishment of our post routes the
recognition of Governor OF the State the regular
meeting of our county courts and the convennB OF

very high degree OF prosperity that energy will now
be properly directed and the whole population OF the

moral and physical improvement.
One unquestionsbe benefit will flow to the State from
the ordeal through which it has passedthe people will
