The establishment of the above hospital has been rendered necessary and imperative from the great number of sick and wounded men en route lor their homes from Richmond and other points where our soldiers are stationed. On reaching lvingsville, the wounded require their wounds attended to, frequently having to stay over from twelve to twenty-four hours; hence, few places are more important to extend Aid to our noble defenders, than this place;? We, therefore, reioicc that the much needed steps have been taken to relieve the sick and aleviatc tho wounded. We earnestly appeal to our citizens to supply the articles indispensable for such a hospital. Lint, rags, old sheets, and anything that will answer for bandages. Also, whatever can be needed for their nourishment?chickens, flourf rice, sugar, fruit &c.?

[From Hit fceio Work World.] It never rains but it pours. The check before Richmond waft preceded by the repulse on James Island, and has been followed by some serious roverses in the West. At Murlieesboro' two regiments and two generals have been captured. Nashville is threatened and may fall, since we arc in for a run of bad luck? Baton Rogue has been re-capturcd and portions of three regiments, fifteen hundred men in all, surrendered with it. Curtis, if we aic to believe Southern accounts, has recently lost a thousand men, while guerillas swarm again in Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee. This is not a pleasant state of things, but it was rendefed possiblo when Gen. Ilallcck decided to go into summer quarters with his army. Had the campaign continued vigorously, we should not have heard of the Confederates being near Nashville. If We do not attack them they undoubtedly will us, and we must expect a series of reverses until our1 Western army again assumes the defensive. An Illustrmtive Anecdote.?It is stated in one of our exchanges that some Yankee prisoners, taken in the battle of Gaines* Mills, meeting some North Carolina soldiers near Richmond, said, " You North Carolinians arc everywhere.

A Yankee flag of ttuce has arrived to request perinission fbr their gunboats to pass our batteries at Vicksburg and Baton Rogue unmolested* and that they will evacuate New Orleans and the river. It is said that Gen. Van Dorn has refused the rbquest, for he says that befor? ttvo months he shall have the whole of the Yankee fleet bettveen Yieksburg and Baton Rogue. Gen. Breckinridge has command of the troops on the opposite side bf the river at Monroe, La., and is marching to capture the Yankee batteries over there, and tb prevent supplies reaching the Yankee fleet. The whole of the Yankee flbct went down the river yes terdny, for the purpose of securing Our batteries at Baton Rogue, but I am happy to say they have a very poor chance of demur so n? ~ * - O > " we have re Occupied the batteries on both sides of the river and are mounting mote guns and erecting hew fbrtificationsk There is no doubt that v/b tnadc a brilliant stragetic stroke in the recapture of that town.

Our loss was five men killed. No wounded reported. Another account says that "the town was taken, after severe fighting, with considerable loss on both sides. The Federal Gem Crittenden was among the prisoners taken." The forces on bdth sides were nearly equal at the time of the recapture. We learn, however) that there has been an uprising of the people of that section of Middle Tennessee, which bids fair to largely add to the numbers of our forces.
