SURGERY IN WARFARE.

The Medical Record, of New York,
says cditorially this week:
1T is quite likely that during the pro-
grcSs of the present war there will be
entirely new experiences in the charac-
ter and treatment of the wounds inflicted
in battle as compared with those of
thirty years ago. Since that time the de-
structivc machinery of the battlefield has
been brought TO such Il degree of perfec-
ton in regard to distance of range, accu-
racy of aim and power of penetration,
that the percentage OF such us may re-
ceivc slight wounds from which recovery
may be possible will be exceedingly small
in proportion 10 such as are destined to
be killed outright 1t will be a qucs-
ton of wholesale slaughter.
III is impossible to estimate the
amount of damage that may be done or
the number OF lives that may be sacri-
feed. The wounds will he on large
scale and numerous in proportion. EX-
tcnsivc decorations from exploding shells,
submarine mines aud torpedocs and
splinters of steel and wood will he the
rule. Comparatively speaking, amputa-
ton will be more necessary than resec-
ton.
when once the danger or operation
itself is past, aseptic surgery will album
dainty demonstrate its opportunities.
What is lost in one direction will be
gained in another. Hospital gangrene,
the dreadful bane of wound treatment
in our late war, will be virtually impos-
sible, and suppurating stumps will not
Longer propagate their poisonous in
tluences Intestinal surgery has also ele-
waited itself almost to science, and
death on the field, virtually inevitable
before, is now most eifectually thWarted
by the modern and ingeniously skilful
methods of the present day"

Prospects for its Being Increased to a
Regiment Not Bright.
North Cardinals quota of troops is
1854. But the two regiments and Il
battery asked for will contain only about
ZOO men. What to do about the re-
naming 800 has been Il question.
After carefully considering the matter
the Governor has finally decided to com
plcte the quota by forming an infantry
battalion of five companies of negroes.

either ut Wilmington or Southport. Col.
Il. ). Royster is now in Wilmington Sc
lecting the place.
The Governor and Adiutant General
will also ask the Secretary of War to
enlarge the States quota Of troops so
that this battalion of 500 negroes may be
made regiment of 1000. They think
the prompt response of the c0lored men
to the call ought to be rewarded by this
recognition.
However true this may be, it is certain
that it will be only a waste of time
to try to have the number of volun-
teer soldiers called for increased. Adj
Xjutant General Corhn has already an.
nounced that the Secretary of War has
decided to adhere to the allotments made
to the various States and Territories I'M
der the Presidents call for 125, 900 men.
General Corbin declared that in no
ease had the allotment OF the States been
increased beyond the limit originally
field, and that such course was now.
impossible unless the President should
call for more troops or unless some Of
the States should fail to provide their
quota General Corbm said he had no
knowledge of any purpose on the part
Of the Executive TO call for additional
volunteers, and that there was no pros-
pect whatever of any of the States or
Territories failing TO respond TO the 70.
