The Beuuforl Hospital and Slaters
of Mercy.
4 The Hammond General Hospital At
Beanfort, is eligibly located on the
Bay, the tide rising and falling entire
ly round the main building. It con
sist of a main body and two wings,'
built in three stories ; the whole well
Ventilated, and admirably adapted to
.the object for which it is at present
in nso. There are also several build
ings in the rear, some of which are
used for quarters for the convalescents
and other purposes, aB laundry, bake
house, &c.
The acute cases are in a two story
building detached from the main one.
The occasion of our visit was quite
unexpected, but accompanied! by the
gentlemanly surgeon in charge, we
made a thorough inspection of the Hos
pital, and were fully repaid' for the
time necessarily occupied iu so doing.

men,smoothing the pillowy of the suf
ferers,! and supplying with untiring
devotion the place of the mothers, sis1
tcrs, or wives left behind.
The hospital is under the care of the
Bisters of Mercy, whose earnest de
votcdnes8 to the noble task they have
assumed is manifest in the cleanly con
dition of the pUce, and comfort and
contentment displayed by all the pa
tients. One kitchen a perfect ,(b'!
jou" of a kitchen is devoted to' the
use of the Sisters, where they prepare
every kind of delicacy, which tho con
dition pf the side may require, in such
a manner as these good Sisters only
can prepare such things Tho preju
dice which exists in some ilfiberni
minded persons towards Romau Cath
olics, would be very speedily and ef
fectually dispelled, could they Witness
ns we have, these worthy ladies mod
estly but earnestly pursuing their vo
cation among the sick and . wounded,
with no hope of reward, until hk;'
whoje divine example they emulate,
shall say, "I was sick and ye minis
tered unto mo." JLong may Sister Ma
ry, Madeline the Superior,and her ami
able iBters be spared to pursue their
"work of faith and love" among us.
Our soldiers feel truly grateful to
lira. Foster, the accomplished wife of
our Major General, tor her considera
tion in bringing ttie Sisters here.
Surgeon A. W Woodhull, Oth N.
j. Vols., is in charge of tho Hospital,
and the discipline of the institution,
and the condition of tho patients re
flect the highest credit oil the Doctor's
attention and skill. Surgeon Wood
liull is well and favorably known both
in Newark, N. J., and the city of New
York.
In the latter city he was long a pu
pil of orio of the tint surgeons of the
age, a Pofeesor of SurguTal Arfatoniy
in one of onr best Medical Schools.
Vor years he has been in Hospital
practice, and has had an extent of ex
perience in their management to which
none but the most devoted lovers of
their profession aspire. We regret to
state that the Doctor has rather moro
than h'fs sii'are of work at present, as
hitherto Hammond Hospital has had
two Surgeons, while with over 30) pa
tients, Dr. W. has at presout no assist
ant to share his labors.
The cooking utensils in the kitchens,
were pol'shed as brfMft Is fli'duh ttre
cooks anticipated an lifspVctioW. .
The Bakery, too, was to ns a feature
jbt muc&Tinterest. Ifrerj arraniroiuSat
in such good order, and tiie bread was
as good as any we have evor seen.
No reflections we are averse to them,
and "comparisons are odious" but
we wish we could always procure SUt
"daily bread" from the Hammond
Hospital Bakery.
The Laundry is necessarily on an
extensivo scale, and here we saw one
of the Sisters engaged not only in su
perintending, but taking an active part
in the operations. "Washing day" is
generally voted a "bore," and the par
ticipants even excused for loss "of tem-'
per, thoso we saw here were all busy,
but seemed actually to enjoy it, and
the Sister appeared from her look' of
placid contentment to regard ft as rath
er as a relaxation. Commend us to
such "washing day" experiences for
the futiirVif only '"in memoriam."
The supplies of the Subsistence De
partment of the Hospital are derived
from the Hospital Fund which is made
up by the saving on the rations of the
patients But in addition such arti
cles as Farina, Cdrh Starch, Oat Meal,
Gelatine, etc., have to ctf hie from our
friends at homo. Some supplies will
shortly be needed, and we know the
patriotic ladies North need only to,
learn our wants to supply them, we
append a list of a few requisites for
the Hammond General Hospital, Beau
fort. Farina, Gelatine, Corn Starch,
Oat Meal, Boston or Farina Crackers,
Flannel feliirts and Drawers, Woolen
Socks, SlippcreVckbt Handkerchiefs,
and Towels. The winter season is ap
proaching, so we trust our friends in
the North will forward tho above sup
plies as early as convenient. Boxes
and packages should bo addressed
"Hospital Stores, Hammond General
Hospital, U. S. A., Beaufort, N. C, in
care of Surgeon A. W. Woodhull."
An invoice should be forwarded to
Surgoon Woodhull by mail at the
time of shipping the goods. We omit
ted to mention the fact that Dr. Up
ham, who acted a conspicuous part in
organizing this Hospital; and who gave
his skillful services, and also his salary
to tho patients, is entitled to equally
as much credit as any one else, for his
devoted and patriotic efforts. Also
Dr. Snclling, our accomplished and ef
ficient Medical Director, is entitled
to the thankB of all, for ' the interest
he has manifested in this renowned
Hospital.
Soldier 8uot on Picket.
Private Patrick Wallace of Co. G,
25th Muss. ReS, was shot near the
Jackson House, on Trent roatf, on
Wednesday night fast. Private Her
man Spindler,' 61 the same company,
was stationed as a Picket Guard on a
flank post, some 25 rods from the re
serve station, with instructions to guard
against nil approaches from the rear.,
WSHtfdo was sunt to relievo him',' aii'iT
after being absent from the resorve
about twenty minutes, approached
Spindler from the rear, and not an
swering the' 4all ot the sentinel, was
fired npon and shot through' the right
arm, near the shoulder, the ball pas
sing out tlifbngh tho back." Th arm'
was amputated at the shoulder the
next day by Dr. J. M. Rice, surgeon
of the 25th, but Wallace died on Fri-.
day morning4,' nt Catri'p "Hardness,"
near Harrison's. We learn that Capt.
Donny, in command at Cump "Hark
nestf," after fully investigating" the cir
cumstances, is of opinion that private
Spindler is entirely blameless in the
matter nnd discharged his duty fully
and faithfully, and that this opinion is
entirely sustained and approved by
Major Pickett, at present iu command
pf the 2ffh vegiirient.'
Editorial nelNngw.
As an instance of the growing pop
ularity of the Free); Labor 'sentiment
among the non-slaveholders in tin
section of tho State, we would state i
significant fa'ct which came to our no
tice the other day. A gentleman of
intelligence belonging to this class re
marked to us that he had ; made more
money this yCar from the services of
a few hired slaves, who worked cheer
fully and well at a merely nominal
prico, than lie had ever made before
in all his life. He obsorved that these
'slaves would do mors work for the
trivial amount received, in one : cay
for Ji(oBltHw6
days, for then masters. And that, ac
cording to the laws of the State, no
non-slaveholder could hire a slave
without the consent of his master, who
was sure to ask a much higher price
for his services than could be paid by
the poor man, who, on this account,
have never been tlTe to carry on farm
ing, or any other kind of business ex
cept in a small way only, and as the
slave was aware that his master has to
reap the beuetit of his labor, he was
always sure net to do any more work
for any one else, than he would do for
his master.
We call attention to Mr. Carpenter's

pensions, &c. Mr. Carpenter's papers

Washington and elsewhere, and we
are glad that an enterprising attorney
has hung out his shingle.

Hie Richmond Examiner says :
"Congrc'sB has scrioiis business on its
hand at present. Tho subject of rev
enue and finance is now before Con
gress. Tho bill provides that every cit
izen givo to Government one-fifth his
gross income, and rceeivo in acknowl
edgment eight per cent bonds. Of all
loans 8 per cent, is the worst Of all
taxes twenty per cent, gross income is
the most oppressive. By this project
Congress strikes a heavier blow at our
tjredit than the public enemy. Gov
ernment has committed financial blun
ders enough to ruin its credit, if the
confidence of the public were not so
well supported. Congress has post
poned adjournment to October 13th."

telerramt reeelved from the West we bad beeis
led la boljeve that Gen. Bragg bad gained a bill
tianl victory; and that tbe enemy a army wa
thoroughly beaten, if not completely demoral
ised. We can scarcely conceive bow such rat
ports get Into circulation. Battles here, bkttlc '
there, battles everywhere were described, all at
t bein being Confederate victories, and resulting .
in the capture of multitudinous prisoners ani
infinite artillery. To be aure It waa rather ditfi.
eult to comprehend the strategy of these comp.i'
cated movements, and the tactics of tbesa
numerous fields i but, nevertheless, the report
came from so ninny sources, and k greed so well
ia their general features, that we were incline;
tp credit thorn with at least a basis of truth;
Yet it turns out that after the battle of Parry
ville, on the Uth inst , no general act on wa
fought, . Kirby Smith encountored Crittenden'
f jrues near I rankturt, aud defeated them, and
this is the last w hear of any Dentins?. For
aome daya nothing is known of the movements) .
of our aimy. We hsd imagined it advancing eu
Louisville i or peihapa, crossing the Kentucky
river, and threatening Cincinnati ; we had cher
ished the delusion that it was. at least, holding ar
commnnding poaitiou in the midst of the fertile)
aud toemibg regiuu of Kentucky. But, all thi '
time, it was reireuting- tailing back is th polit
term from the ni ighboruood of Louisville to
the extreme southwestern eo-ncr of the State t
from the productive blue grass country, to the
mountain counties, whore lite is a burthen to a
gra: shopper, . v.
Our last advices render it certain that Bragg'
army is abandoning Kentucky, and that it is
now in position in the neighborhood of Cumber
land Gap. We do sot kuow, and do not pieteiui ,
to divine, the causes of tl is retrograde move
ment. We do know that it has profoundly din
appointed and mortified nur people, and dashel
the fund hopes they had formed of liberating.
Kentucky, and Tcuuesaea. We bad expected
aud reasonably expected, frum Genoral Bragg''
magnificent auny, something mora than a mens
incursion to tbe neighborhood of the Ohio river
something imro than fruitless marches and
barren bailies. We bad anticipated from Gen
oral Uragg something more thau boastful order'
to his t oops and sounding proclamations to tha
people beyond the Ohio.. We had formed ex
altiril hopes of the great expedition which be le4
aeross tne Tonnesaae river, and nearly op to tha
