GREAT AND GLORIOUS NEWS!
THE UNION ARMS VICTORIOUS IN THE
GREATEST BATTLE OF THE
CENTURY,

After the last edition of yesterdays Star
went TO press official dispatches reached
Washington announcing that one Of the
most desperate battles Of the war occurred
on Thursday afternoon from 4:30 until $50
pm, in which our General Zook and the
rebel General Barksdale were killed. Pris-
oners invariably assert that Longstreet was
also killed.
The artillery attack which was made by
the enemy chiefly on the left and center
was rapidly followed by the advance of his
infantry. The Sd Corps received the attack
with great GOODNESS. The rebels at once
made attempt to get on our flank, and
kept moving heavy columns In that direc-
ton. This necessItated support, which was
quickly given by the 9Th Corps, the division
of General Barnes being sent TO the right
and that of General Ayres tregulars) to the
left, with General Crawford In reserve.
The battle now became terribly fearful.
The armies engaged each other at a very
short range, and for three long hours the
roar Of musketry was incessant- / have
heard more noises. louder crashes in other
battles. but l never saw or heard of such
desperate tenacious fighting as took place
On this faux. The enemy would often bring
up suddenly heavy column of men. and
TO force our line back, and to In turn be
forced back by our own line of glitterlng
steel,
Our gallant columns covered themselves
with glory over and over again. They
fought a superior force in numbers; the dis
positions Of tine enemy were very rapid, for
body Of rebels would be advancing Our
DISPOSITIONS were equally rapid, and the
enemy found more than their equal in such
rallant veterAns as Sickles and Birney and

ter Wallack, James E. Murdoch and Mrs
Mayo attended and were very compliment
airy in their comments upon the perform
ance and the actors. There We're hours set
aside for the reception Of visitors. The
fruit. flowers or reading matter, and
number Of marriages grew out of these
sympathetic visitations.
Early Structures Soon Supplanted.
The church buildings in use as hospitals,
with the exception OF a very few instances,
may be easily recognized. but the barracks
have almost altogether disappeared. The
hospitals OF the latter period of the war
were vast improvements over those occu-
pied during the early days Of the struggle
At the inception of the civil war, when
the sick in the regtmental hospitals ex-
ceeded their capacity, residences in the
neighborhood were usually turned into hos
pitfalls, and churches, factories and o.1er
large buildings were made into brigade or
general hospitals.
The Medical and Surgical History OF the
War;" prepared under the direction of the
surgeon general Of the United States a: my.
is fine exposition of this important branch
of the military operations OF the civil war.
The first military hospitals opened were
in Washington. The Street Inffrmary
and the Union Hotel both received patients
as carly as May, 1851. Owing to the large
movement of troops the demand form
creased accommodations reached such pro-
portions that it was necessary to enlarge
the quarters Of buildings occupied as hes
pitfalls by pitching tents in the immediate
vicinity. SO az to form series of elongated
pav.lfnns. At.a-later period the tents wee
replaced by long wooden pavifioys Tha
