Our HoNpitalN?Tlic AVounded.
Sunday last, P. M. the good i>cople of Beaufort
were awakened from their easy, every day
life by an arrival from Folly and Morris Islands
of some hundreds of wounded, sic k, and dying
men. The " Cosmojolitan" steamer at 3 p. m.
on that sacred day, at a moment when quiet
reigned supreme, and devote worshspcrs were
engaged in their pious duties, hauled along side
of the central wharf with her precious freight of
scarred humanity. Before her lines had made
her fast, men and horses began to jump on er
rands of necessity, of lore, of generous sympathy;
the brute joining with its master in sjieed, l>ound
to the various hospitals and Quartermaster quarters
for immediate 6uccor. Then began hurrying
to and fro and calls for help. Down the
streets culminating to the wharf, came, on
double quick, regardless of the street crowd (already
gathered) ambulances, stretchers, rough
wagons, spring carriages and vehicles of every
description, all in search of kindly duty.
Citizens white, citizens black, rank and file,
veid to be useful.
Result? ,
By 3 a. m. Monday some hundreds were made
as comfortable as enthusiasm sobered and controlled
by patriotism could possibly do.
OFFICERS HOSPITAL.
Doctor Bundv, of Boston, is in charge here at
present, assisted by several female nurses, both
professional and volunteer. The situation is de.
fightful, having the river on l>oth sides, from
a hose placid bosom cool and healing breezes
coine.
We are happy to say that all arc doing well
an<l great hopes are entertained that no fatalities
will occnr.
Surgeons Mann and Maeomba of the U. S.
"Navy Imve volunteered their assistance, and arc
giving their attention to our wounded officers.?
We need scarcely say that their services are invaluable.
THE NEGRO nOSPITAL UNDER DR. DURAND.
Dr. D. unfortunately is now absent in New
York. Here is found the wounded from the
Massachusetts 54th in a most cheerful condition
for men who arc such sufferers. They look
with impatience for the day of release; when
they can again meet the enemy. Their dreams
are of Colonel Robert G. Shaw, as l>e stood on
the enemy's ramparts, waving his sword, with
only one word of command sounding in their
ears? 'onward, my brave boys?onward."
These men seem not to be afraid to trust
themselves in the field of battle, though others
are inclined to doubt them, wc can trust them
henceforth.
This hospital has 35 beds, all full, Chief Steward
Goo. W. Hunkens, 1st Mass Cavalry, a soldier
in every sense of the word. May his wounds
he attended to, when they shall come, by as good
a man, as he has proved to be. Female nurses,
as well as male attend here, relieved by the generous
residents in Beaufort.
Doctor Benton of Florida, in the absence of
Doctor Dnraud is in charge.
hospital no. 1.
This hospital is one of the most beautifully
situated of the old private residences of Beaufort,
and is well adapted for its present purposes.?
There are now seventy-three beds in it, all of
which are occupied. Doctor Bell, who lias
rhargc of it, is of the Regular army, and is full
of zeal in his noble profession. Hospital Stewards
Curtes and Fenn are his assistants. None
have died here since Sunday, and all in a fair
way to recover.
hospital no. 2.
Sixty patients are lying in this hospital. It
is divided into two large rooms, cool and airy.?
Doctor Benedict has charge, and under his direction
every thing to make the men comfortable
is done. We noticed that some beds were without
mosqueto netting. This should at once be
remedied, either by government or by contribution.
hospital. no. 3.
Doctor Hayden has here 47 beds of wounded
men. The " convalescents " have been sent to
the Doctors own house to make room for Folly
Island martyrs. Some very interesting cases
Lnvo flint- ic trt utv intprMtinir tn rlfM'tnrs
but quite the opposite to sufferers. At the moment
of our visit a consultation of three doctors,
hastily called, were discussing the propriety of
amputating the leg of one i>oor fellow.
HOSPITAL NO. 4.
This is another of the regular hospitals receiving
not only wounded men, but all others needing
a nurses and doctors aire, from all regiments,
whether seccsh, regular or volunteer. Doctor
Trenor reports 41 beds in use?yesterday he had
II? wounded in'addition to liis sick. This build
. THE FREE SOUTH, SAT
ing is one of the best in Beaufort; a fine garden
looking southerly, with deciduous and persistent
shade trees that continually wave oltcdicnce to
the soft air fragrant with the orange and lemon
and vine, affords sj>aee for the convalescents to
exercise, and relief to the eye of those unable to
do aught but look and wish. Indeed the more
we learn we are struck with the sagacity and
taste of our General in using the best buildings
in Beanfort, regardless of the former tenants or
their wishes for our wounded and sick men.
hospital xo. 8.
Hospital No. 8 is under the charge of Doctor
Mcrritt. There arc fifty-nine beds here. As
the place has only bcea lately taken for hospital
purposes it does not present quite so clean and
neat an appearance as some of the rest, but we
are sure that it will soon equal them if it lies
with the Surgeon in charge.
Time has not been given for that perfection of
arrangement observable in the other hospitals, j
The following operations have l>een successfully
performed by Doctor Merritt:?
On Wednesday 22d July, Charles II. Grogan
1st Sergeant of Co. I, 6th C. Vols, was operated
on?right arm amputated near shoulder, the
bone having been shattered.
On Thursday, 23d July, Private Phillip Pitzerd,
Co. K, 100th N. Y. Vols?leg amputated
just above ankle, the foot and lower part of the
bones of the leg having been shattered. Also
Private Charles A. Eastman, Co. E, 9th Me.
Vols?amputation of leg just below the knee,
tin. front bone of the leg being horribly shattered.
Private Saranel Smith, Co. D, 9th Mc. Vols,
died Friday a. m. early, from gun shot wound
through abdomen.

Hammond of the relative ability at
the white and black troops to withstand _
malarious diseases; and scientific data,
here, of course, only fortify the universaF
opinion that the former will suffer heavily*
while the latter will almost wholly escape
such afflictions. In the department of
the Gulf, the white troops suffer in the
proportion of 10.8 per cent; the black
troops of 0.8 ! or, in other words, eleven
white soldiers to one black. The experience
of the British Government, through,
a series of years, has been similar, being:
in these terrible numbers : Jamaica, 109.9
white, to 8,2 black ; Bahamas, 159 to 5.6 j
Honduras 81 to 4.4; Siera Leone, 419
to 2.4.
These fierce facts should stimulate tor
the most poignant degree the action of
our Government in the employment of
black troops. We have now, at the end
of more than two years of the war, but m
few colored regiments in the field ; when,
by every impulse of common sense, and
an apprehension especially of the axiom,
that the right man should be in the right?
place, we should? have many such regiments.
There ought to be now at 1east
! twenty to one of the actual force of black,
i troops. The fearful lie that they would
not fight is dissipated forever; the moat
venomous Copperhead will not hiss it
longer. Every energy, then, should bo
put forward^in view of actual needs, and
the threatened European complications
with our affairs, to increase this arm of
defense.
