Some two hundred side and disabled men were
sent to this place, and arrived here on Monday
evening last. They are row under the
charge of Drs. Todd and Jexnisgs. An appeal
is made to out citizen;*, and especially the
ladies for their aid in alleviating the suffering
likely to ensue from neglect whilst prostrated
by disease. The troops now in the hospital arc
lioarly ail old veterans?heroes of many hard'
fought battles, and who have been in active
service since first this cruel war inaugurated.
Those who have already contributed to this
paramount interest arc now called upon to redouble
their zeal and liberality. Contributions .
.will be thankfully lreeircd by either of the
above named gentleman, at the hospital?rail
articles pertaining to hospital stores will'be acceptable.
'.The dare of the sick is a religions
> duty?so sacred, that it will he one of the tests
of the final judgment?and, in all this class,
none appeal so tenderly to our henvts as the
sons, fathers, husbands, brothers, who, for our
sakvs, have not counted their lives, dear unto
themselves, but, uncomplainingly, endure ooid
and hunger, marches and watches' and perils
.of the battle, that our homes and altars may
be inviolate, our honor untarnished and our

A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser
und Register submits the following upon this
subject:Pact
No. 1?The Southern people, supposed
to be well acquinted with the negro charactef,
did not believe the- negro could be made a sot
dicr. Theylaughed' to scorn the "Yankees
purpose to cobvert the negro into an effective
soldier. . .j.

COO aWc-bvKlfffcS "male negroes from tzs, ondj

as ^dcctivt soldiers as any ?rc their Tasks.? ',
"When Confederate- solcSers have met these- ao- i
gross ;?r battle, theyjbaire ?Kt>gT):zetiS m tbem,
on mnv.y fields, determined, discipEned; troops.
So. mtecb for the- raine- of roete theory in the
teeth of stubborn fact. ( !
Fact Wo. ?.?The President of the United J
States has diliberateif admitted before the
world, that without the aid of. those- negro
troops it would be impossible for Ms tfoTero- !
merit to maintain its present military status,
and more impossible to pot down the Confederate
Government..
Fact No. 4.?The Federal Goverawemt, by
ie.gislaiion and by military order, lias established
its, unalterable policy to arm and! organize
the who'e negro male population tofaid in out
destruction, so for as these slaves come within
their lines or can be captured.'
Now, we ask. plain, sensible rrfen wiistliqr it
wan Id not, *iave?beei> better- for onr eause if
these 200,000 fteg-.i> soldiers bad been * titled
to our armies instead of strcagthening the armies
of the ir.vadcr I
Our sons and orothcrs have to' meet these
stolen staves in battle, instead of having thera
for .allies in the'Conflict.
If the; negro mrtst fight, is it not the part of
wisdom to make fyim figlrt on our sidet
From which be deduces the following frifercnees:
(1'.) Th'c action of our foe, and thelparch of
events, have demonstrated one fact-r?namely,
tho ncgro can be trained to' arms iiod made an
effective soldier.
(2.) If he fight, he mnst add to/jur strength
or to that of the foe.
(3.) If we give the foe the . additional force
'of the slave, then, without a potential interference
by Almighty power, we *shsjl be most
surely crushed.
(4.) The only point of doubt as to our duty
and our ihterest is, whether the negro can be
made as effective for the Southern as the North^j
ern army. i *
This can lie tested on-a small sonic by experiment.
Who can, as a friend to our cause,
rationally object to suc$i a safe and cautioqs"
experiment? . ?V

IMPRESSIONS OF A YANKEE IN RICHMOND.

The New York Tribune has a letter |
from William Cornell Jewett, giving
I the substance or a conver&tW with
Gen.-Single inn, of Illinois, who has
just returned from ll.climonu, and the
impressions of that gentleflRm while i-i
the Confederate capital. The irqjjres.s'ons
;'ve give \ as fol ows:
1. The Souther^ people arc aT

2. He tjrn s ijj in the power of the
"North to reconstruct by an offer Ox"liberal

4. tehey will not permit slavery to
stand in the way of inde^endeuoe^
unless ft should beafaircompensation,
coupled wita other liberal terms of
reconstruction*, secui'ed by constitutional
amendments. '
5.' He thinks they can prosecute
the war indefinitely, but not without
great suffering and Sacrifice, which
they are prepared to make rather than
submit to any terms that do notrecpgnizethe
r perfect equality, and are
alii e honorable to both sections.
6. He says he never lived better
than he did In llichmond, so far as the
substantiate are con.ernedj that- he
found every tiling necessary for a state
