The Army Hospitals About Wash-
ington.
The editor of the Warren (Pa.) :nil
sends the following interesting edito
rial letter home from Wdbhington
City • ' . • -
Reader did you ever visit an army
htispital ? No ! :Come with me then.
There are about forty in Washington,
lout-leen in Alexandria, and seven in
Georgetown. all capable of accommo
dating 20,000 or 80,000 patients.—
Those erected for that purpose are
mainly long, low wooden buildings
like a bowling alley. Sometimes sev
eral stand near each other, numbered
as'wards. On each side is a row of
single cots or matresses, or little iron
bedsteads, two feet or so _ apart.—
From the door in the front end to the
kitchen in the other, is an aisle. three
or four feet wide, with the heads of
the cots to the wall. If in good order,
the sheets and pillows are clean, the
ventillation good, the name, rank,
company and regiment of the occu
pant on a card near by, while all the
names are registered in the office.—
Everything looks comfortable, as
though it would be a luxury to be
sick, just enough to enjoy it.
_Rost of the hospitals here are in the
-churches, halls, colleges, hotels and
other large buildings taken as they
were !feuded. Here's one in anEpis
copal church. It's where the minister
refused so long to pray for the Presi
dent or the Union cause. Two or
three grim sentinels pace back and
fifth, up and clown, by day and by
night., You enter the door. Instead
of pews in a row bolding Sabbath wor
shippers, you see rows (eras holding
patients, sick and wounded, in all con
ditions. Here one holds up the stump
of an arm to be dressed ; there, half a
leg sticks out from under the coverlet;
liqre,,a pale-faced consumptive's cough
comes up like the echo of the tomb to
which he hastens; there, a, Ivor fel-
Thee - islialf shot away, and - an
-oth-6:Hs consumed by fever thirst ;
here, a bright eyed. little-limbed young
man unbosoms a bayonet stab or ri

charge which well nigh quenched his'
fiery life anti the hopes of the day to-

big, sonic laughing and joking as tho'
no house of God or holy thing were in
all their 'thoughts; some, are looking,
old - wistfully and _thinking, perchance ,
of:home and the dear ones they have
seen only-in dreams for so many long
and weary months since the slavehold
ers' rebellion summoned them to arms.
The attendants and visitors arc mov
ing about quietly, and the convales
cents are, limping wearily out and in.
There's many a thin faced sufferer
there, and many a lonely, hungry
heart • but not a fearful or regretful
one. In all that congregation of Uni
on worshippers, you will look in vain
for-one who laments his sacrifice for
the Union cause. Each one will rath
er-regret that he has not :t regiment of

ly young. Yet their fortitude is truly
remarkable. Often do they display a

It does an extensive businesz. It em

steadily, and sends its committees in
all directions in quest of Pennsylva

that their superior rank, and the high
er intelligence it should argue, will on
ly be regarded as aggravations of eve
ry fault they commit, it being resolved
that the soldiers and non-commissioned
otlicers of our armies shall have no
reason to complain of being bell ac
countable for offenses which are com
mitted with impunity by those who
should set them examples of strict sub
ordination and discipline.
Provost marshals, deputies, milli:11T
policemen, and officers specially de
tailed for the purpose, are now being
sent to all the principal cities, and over
all the lilies of railroads throughout
the country, to collect the names of of
ficers absent from the armies in, the
field and in garrison ; and all officers
so found absent, without the proper and
specific authority prescribed in the
general orders of the War Department,
will be either immediately and igno
miniously dismissed the service, or will
be placed on trial for desertion while
in pre , enee of the enemy. It is under
stood that a long list of names for dis
missal has been already prepared, and
that numerous dismissals for cause will
be made in a few 'days. Indeed-, the
rumor prevails, and there is reason to
believe that more than a thousand com
missioned officers are now absent with
out leave, and so reported, all of whom
will lie dismissed under circumstances
attaching disgrace to their names, and
leaving them no possibility for a return
to the service, or any other employ
ment under the :National Government.
One of the favorite subterfuges prac
ticed by officers anxious to skulk from
their duties has been to quit their com
mands on a surgeon's certificate, or on
ft pretended leave of absence, signed
by some subordinate officer, colonel or
brigadier, who had DO power to give
it, and then. if discovered, urge the plea
of ignorance of the orders and regula
tions on this subject. But all leaves of
absenee, to be of avail, must emanate
from the very highest source prescrib
ed in general orders, and all officers
absent on medical certificates must be
sttre that their certificate is issued by
competent authority, and that they do
not remain absent 041 C day after bieng
sufficiently physically re-established
to join their commands, even though
not reestablished enough for a full re
turn to active duty.
While these steps are being taken
with regard to the officers, measures of
an equally stringent and effective
character are in progress to arrest the
immense number of deserters now scat
tered through the country, and to hold '
them to the severest penalties prescrib
ed by military law fbr their offences.
It is the determination of the author
ities to make examples which will
cause every soldier to consider serious
ly before exposing himself to the chance
of en infamous death, as the penalty
for deserting his standard. Many
of the men now absent are de-'
Se rlers from the army' in the
field, and not a few of them, lured
by the bounty, have enlisted in the
new organizations. But their re en
listment, as they will ha taught, is no
excuse for their desertion. and all offi
cers of the recently raised regiments,
knowing 4-ueli deserters to he le their
ranks, and not sending'them back Un
der guard to their old commands, will
be held strictly responsible. Others of
those now absent are men who were
discharged from hoiTitalls to return to
their regiments, but who have skulked
to their homes. All of the above clas
ses are deserters, and will be punished
as such. But there is yet another
class, and one to which no mercy will
be shown, viz: those who joined new
regiments recently recruited, received
the enormous bounties given, and then
deserted before the regiments had been
placed in the field. The country has
suffered most deeply from the latter
class, various States having paid boun
ties for their full quotas, while their
effective force reported at headquarters
of the army is still short by many thou
sands of the required numbers.
It is said on high authority that the
President, on being shown recently by
the'Sceretary' of War and general 'in
chief the immense lists of deserters and
roll-calls of absentees, sternly pledged
himself hereafter to pursue the most
rigorous polity* with these offenders,
and that by executions, dismissals, ball
and chain labor for the wbohf term of.
their enlistments, and Other of th l e,
sec
eral penalties, he is resolved to deprive
•
the rebels of the great adVantage
have heretofore enjoyed over us in the
means necessary to preserve discipline,
and Prevent the crimes. of straggling,
absenteeism and desertion. In view"
of these facts, the hope is expressed,
that the public will constitute itself a
great moral poliee'to expose and shame
back to duty all officers and men who
cannot prove incontestably that they
have the authority required by army
orders and regtilations'for ',their; :lb-,

[Col ro , :prolonce of ti o Now Yolk .
W.3.snrNoroN, Nov. 1.8. —The depar
ture of the army from Warrenton was
effected , with masterly ability,'scr ;a,§
not only to enable ; the 74(4_ army to
move Beveral miles on its new line of
operations without any interruption,
but also to completely mystify fbareb : ,
el.sympathizers and spies in .Warren
ton as to its actual destination. The
removal of the sick and wounded from
the hospitals was began several, days
ago, and%actually progressed -fin such
a Inanner as not to attract particular
notice. - If.,ven up to the morning of
the day when Warrenton was finally
evacuated, some, portion odour troops
were busy in erecting palisades,nnd
apparently, making preparations fo'f,
going into winter quarters at that
place.
Mitch eitrioSity was irthi'lifCtii&i '135-
the rebel sympathizers at Warrenton
to know the meaning of the unwonted
activity that prevailed, and' also 66
destination of the army. Of the lat! .
I ter, Swifter the soldiery nor the officers,
except a few of the highest rank. knew
anything whatever. It is believed,
theretitre, that •General,l.3urnsido has
already placed his army IWO days'
march nearer to ifieldnond than the
rebel ariny under General Lee, - and
that the rebel force under Stonewall
Jackson is left in the Shenandoah Val
ley so far behind as not to be able to
come up with the main holly till a de
cisive battle has beci) fine ;ht.
Jackson's fern has unquestionably
I,_scn much exaggerated; hut. it com-
prises core of the best of the rebel
!poops, and its absence must greatly ,
weaken the rebels in case of a general
engagement.
General Sigel, with the reserves, is
not so far behind General Burnside as
Jackson is behind Lee. If the arrange
ments for transporting supplies for the
Army of the Potomac arc promptly
carried out, it will undoubtedly reach
Hanover Junction before any conside
rable amount of the rebel army can be
massed there, which will allow General
Burnside to select his owti ground up
on which to fight the battle that must
occur.
It will thus be seen that, in the adop
tion of this new line of operations the
difficulty of supplying the army over
a long line of transportation, continu
ally liable to interruption by rebel
raids, has been avoided.
The rebel army has been outmamen
vred, and will be forced to accept a
battle elsewhere than in the strongly
intrenched position that had been se
lected by General Lee, behind the dan
gerous and difficult defiles and cross
ings of Hazel river and the Rapidan.
The movement is intended to be a
rapid one and the result decisive.
From General Geary's Command,
A private letter from Bolivar nights,
Nov. 17th, says:
On last Sunday week, we were wa
kened up at one o'clock in the morn
ing, and ordered to get two days' ra
tions, blankets and overcoats and to
fall in quietly. All this was accom
plished by 2 o'clock, when we moved
off, surprising the inhabitants of Hall
town before sunrise, and getting to
Charlestown just 'at the peep of day.
All along the route, Geary carried out
his old plan of stopping information to
the enemy by arresting all male in
habitants within two miles of our
route, and making them keep one com
pan3,-. The people of Charlestown
were highly indignant at our Capers;
the females (for they are not worthy
of the name of lady or woman) used
the . most indecent language. Well, af
ter we had searched the houses and
made all males " get up and get," we
started to find the rebs, and after go
ing
- about five miles the other side of
Charlestown, we beheld a large force
of cavalry dashing away from us. lye
then deployed out,, and taking two
pieces of cannon, started after them;
but'they never stopped to show fight.
We then started to return to Charles
town; bringing with us turkeys, chick
ens, pigs, sheep and about two dozen
of cattle. The pigs, sheep and cattle
were in the rebs camp; the turkeys,
&c., about the numerous farm houses
—it put me in mind of the _old times
we used to have in rauquier and Lou
don counties. After the whole force
got together in Charlestown, we star-
ted on our return to Bolivar, where
we arrived at about eight o'clock after
a march of about twenty-four miles.—
Our brigade for the last three days,
has gone out as far as Milltown and
laid in line of battle, while our wood
choppers aredropping the-woods behind
us. These woods are a great protec
tion to the robs to cover them in an
advance on us. I see by the papers
that Jackson is coming here. If. - 30, its
more than We - know, foo he had better
stay away. Yours, G.. 1. K.
Surprise of a Rebel Detachment near
Yorktown.
.A letter from Yorktown, Va.,
the following account of ari affair whiCh
has been briefly noticed within a day
or two ,
News came into headquarter's early
on Saturdhy morning, the 15th instant,
that there was a rebel force near
Gloucester CourtliouSe, across the riv
er. A detail was immediately ordered
out to capture them. Several compa
nies of cavalry and 12-pound how
itzers composed part of the- detach
ment. The guns were under the com
mand of a Regimental Quartermaster.
The Expedition, landed safely. across
the river, about five o'clock in the
evening, taking up their line of march
after dark for the rebel encampment.
Accompahyitig the detachment was a
small force - of infantry from the One
hundred and fohrth Pennsylvania Vol
unteers. After advancing some dis
tance our party was challenged, and
answered, Pennsylvania, Cavalry.—
The challengers replied, in turn, that
they belonged to some Union pickets,
and,ordered our party to ath ante and
give the, countersign. Thinking it
was all right we attempted to' do so
when.. the,
,challenging party who
proved to be rebels, fired into us, kill
ing one man outright and wounding
throe others, - One of Whom has since
died in the hospital at this place. The
man that was killed stood; directly - 'in,
front of our lieutenant, and fell against
his horse; Those that were hurt all
belonged to the One-hundred-and
fourth' Pennsylvania Volunteers. , Our
party captured a rebel captain and
tour privates, the rebel mail, four, or
five horses, and a large lot of 'camp,
and garrison equipage, and returned. -
We had a bad night ofit, stormy and
so dark one could not see his horse's
head. •
The rebel party numbered sane six
or seven hundred. Our party intended
to surprise theni, but the number of
.spies around us rendered-this abortive,
the rebels, no doubt, being notified of
'our- intentions. Every effort -was
made' to keep our preparations secret;
hardly any one, except those at head-
quarters, kneW anything about it, and
when the cavalry were drawn up in
line'on the parade, no ono knew what
it meant. So it appears that it makes
.nd difference -what precautions we :
take, or hcm quietly we manage any:
thing lilac a secret, the rebels are al
•ways.sUre to get 'wind .of it.'

PINI EY I I'ISPITAL,
November 13, 1862,
EDITOR:—A variety of eir
emnstance3 beyond my control has
prevented :me from continuing to rep
resent our company in the Globe. I
am now, and have been for sonic time,
sick in the hospital ; but feeling tolera
bly strong this morning, I have deter
mined to let you know something of
the progress of the 140th Itegt., and
especially of Company I.
Ever since our regiment came down
here they have been scattered all
around Washington, doing guard duty.
At first, the companies relieved cacti
other every few days, but a few weeks
ago, each company was assigned a
permanent position, and our place is
Finley Hospital, for which we act as
guards; that is, those of us who are
able, for there is quite a number of us
on the sick list. There are not, how
ever, any critical cases.
•
Some funny little episodes occur
sometimes. One of our men one day
passed a large field of turnips. The,
owner was btanding inside. " Will
you please to dice me a turnip?" said
the soldier. "No," was the reply,
will not. If I give one I must give
hundreds." The soldier passed on. A
few mornings after, I saw in the quar
ters a haversack well packed with tur
nips, - which had evidently been "con
fiscated."
One of our boys took it into his bead
to snare some rabbits. In order to be
certain of a full supply, he laid about a
dozen snares, and the mess fully coun
ted on at least four rabbits. The set
ter of the traps hurried away at the
first gleam of day, and came back to
the anxious mess triumphantly flourish
ing a 'possum.
11r. Editor, the real voice of Penn
sylvania was not heard in her election
this fall. It grieves the soldier to the
heart to lose his vote and- to see the
moral influence that this election will
have when we all know that if' the sol
diers had been at home to vote, the
Union ticket would have received a
sweeping majority. The majority fur
it would be large in our company and
in our reghnont.
There is talk that our regiment may
soon be brigaded and sent to the field.
If so, I cannot go with it—if not, 1
shall let you know how - we do.
BOLD ESCAPE OF AN ILLINOIS SOLDIER
FROM CIIAIthESTON.—The following is
an extract of a letter recently receiv
ed by the fey. Mr. Schrider, of Wash
ington county, Illinois, from hcs son,
recently a prisoner at Charleston :
" The fortunes of war decreed that
I should be taken prisoner, last June,
while on an expedition reconnoitring
the enemy's position. While in their
clutches I always had an idea of esca
ping. 1 spoke to the negro, who
brought me my coar4te food, find niade
an arrangement to escape. The negro
was to furnish me with a sccesh uni
form,,and in the evening I dr3ssed
myself in my new regimentals, and
was ready fbr a start. The fiiithful
negro gave me the countersign, and
had a boat ready. lie opened the
door and I ventured on my hazardous
undertaking—to pass Forts Sander
and Moultrie. lIN as hailed at both
places, but did not venture to answer.
They fired at us with muskets w ith
out hitting us, although the boat was
riddled, and was with difficulty kept
afloat; but we succeeded, by exerting
ourselves to the utmost. in getting to
sea. Oh, how my heart beat when F
saw a steamer in pursuit of us, firinp,
grape and canister. But we neared
the blockading squadron, who, heari»g
the firing and seeing the cause, let slip
their anchors, and rescued us." '
1862 in America.
In future times, the historians of our
land will regard the _year 1862 as 'a
carnival of death. The gigantic
struggle in which the country is en
gaged with desperate traitors, for na=
tional existence, unity, and freedom,
has filled our land with graves and
our households with mourning. The
bones of our nation's martyred heroes
whiten the banks of the Potomac, the
Shenandoah, the _Arkansas, the Ten
nesee, and the Mississippi ; they
bleach on the mountains of Virginia,
or sink in her morasses; they stretch
as a cordon 'of patriotism, mementos of
a daring and chivalrous manhood,
along 1,500 miles of border and 2,000
miles of coast—from Manassas to Pea
Ridge, from -Norfolk to Galveston.
These mute relies of the noble dead
who have fallen victims to a murder
ous treason and mad rebellion, though
in brutal hands they have been muti
lated and moulded into elements of
rebel pride and mockery, will, never
theless, 10 all time to come stand as
monuments of true loyalty, as germ::
of stirring thought to stimulate the as
pilings of all earnest men to truth and
liberty, as the precursors to a march
of free and educated millions over re
gions of our country, until now given
up to the control and occupation of
classes, vibrating between a proud
and beggarly idleness, smooth and
pretentious refinement, and savage
cruelty and barbarism. ' These myri
ad martyrs have died nobly.
"For ttuth's sake and their carnal y; and their bones,
Uow they hate run their course and sleep iu unites,
Shall have a tooth of patriots' teals o opt o'er then,"
At the present time, almost of ne
cessity, men are rated not so much by
their moral graces and worth, their
intellectual attainments and endeav
ors, as by their iron nerves, their phys
ical endurance, their 'fearless daring,
their shrewd strategy, martial skill
and achievements. The nation has
been struckin the face with a brutal'
and strong hand, and she summons to
her aid strong passions and trained
muscles to repel force by force. All'
this is right and proper, and we thank
God that such an ocean of physical
power has risen from the great depths
to guard this nation's life, and over
'whelm this nation's foes. - We desire
to intivp in•,the front rat* when
