-Return of £llen JUnrdoch.
This patriotio and self-sacrifioing young
lady, who has spent five weeks in unremilting
and (noessant labor in alleviating the suffer
ings of our pick and wounded soldiers at Har
rison's Landing, has returned to the home of
her father, Mr. John Mdrdooh, Jr., bat we re
gret to say that she arrived hero ia very foeblo
health. Her devotion to the cause of suffer
ing humanity has utterly prostrated her, but,
the quiet of home, and that rest so necessary
after severe trial and toils, will, it is hoped,
speedily restore her to health aud usefulness.
She gives rather a gloomy account of the
manner in which our poor soldiers are treated
in the General Hospital at Harrison's Land
ing, and complains biftorly of the order which
prohibits the friends of the sick from visiting
thorn and ministering to their wants. While
no passes are granted to men or women from
tbe north, the almost latitude is allowed to
rebels and rebel sympathisers. She states
that at one of tho “grand reviews" at Harri
son s Landing, the rebel ladies of Wdstover
appeared In their carriages, and were intro
duced by Gen, Sumner to Gen. MoCleUau,
who bowed to them most' graciously, with
chapeau in hand 1 All this, while loyal men
are refused permission to visit tholrsons and
brother*, and save. them~from the jaws of
death!
Miss Murdoch states thatall oar Pittsburgh
doctors wiU sustain her in asserting that the
sick in the hospital at Harrison's Landing are
awfully neglected—neglected In a manner*
that is positively criminal. Mrs. Harris; and
several other noble, women, are doing all In
their power to keep the patients from towing.
There is much more attention paid to tbe no
jroes (contrabands) than to the sick in the
lospltal. The negroes are always first wait
ed upon; while the sick are often found in a
half-famished condition—the food being with
held from them for hours, and when'given it
i*. T«ry often unfit for eating.
This is truly a sidstate'oraffalrs, and thoso
having charge 1 of the Sanitary. Department
should becalled to a stria speedy account.

It will be lean by the following order thet
the regiment recrmtlng for Genoral Sigel, by

The lon on our side is said to be about

Battle Field, xsab Cedab Crbbe )
Kc«, Va., Aug. ;10, 1862. /
On Friday last unexpected movement* were
made by the combined foroei of Jaokaon,
Loogatreetand Ewell upon our adracce posi
tion along the,Rapidan. The evident inten
tion of the different sections Cf our arms at
Fredericksburg, Caip C p ptir . n d Madison, was
to move forward upon the five turnpike*,
which run from «*rh -f rim,* pl a^H nnil Cl , n _
eontrate at Orange Coart il .uie. Prom this
point the uoited force of tho grand army of
Virginia were to advance upon: Gonionaville,.
fhloh is nino miles distant therefrom.
1 Jackson foresaw the intention, and deter
mined to prevent it ; th,» he did by a sudden
and unexpected movement acroHU the Rapidan ■
upon our centre column, before wo had time
to move our/orcca/av-n jj»d been anticipa
ted we should,..which U & purpose 1 &
fight— a* h«
Uched portion of our army. It wa* necessary
for him to delude m with the supposition that
he was advancing in overwhelming number*
Upon us at all poiate, and from all direction*.
This, he also succeeded in doing to a consid
erable degree, but as soon a* ho had produced
the impression opon oar separated colnmni,
that he was about to attack them all, be rap
idly concentrated bis wholo available force*
whioh he brought to boar upon oar centre.
I All day on Friday he was threatening the
forces at Madison, oq Ttfornagbfare Moun
tain, at Culpepper, and at the same time pre
tending to bo'sending out, upon the flank of
eeeh of these positions, a force for the purposo
of surroanding and capturing them.
By this means the force at Madison, believ
iog tbeir communication with Culpepper to be
oat off, were prevented from joining tbs main
oo Inmn, pod retreated to Woodville, and were
thus unable to throw tbeir weight into the
scales on the following Saturday.
The signal station on Thoroughfare moun
tain not beingitbreatened, a force was drawn
off from Culpepper to strengthen, it. A de
taohment having been thrown out by Jaok
*on to a poiht j>etween Culpepper and Fred
ericksburg, it was thought dangerous to ad
vance too far toward the Rapidan for fear of
being ouifiankedjWtf so the detachments ol
tho army of Vlrginia were kept apart to give
Jackson an opportunity to choose hi* own |
•polity of attack. •
Accordingly .on’Fiidky afternoon he com
menced a rapid union-of his scattered forces,
and on ETatnjrday threw them against the
oorps of Gen. Banks, whioh bad been thrown
I forward to* poihVmidway between Culpep
per Court Houso and Rapidan. Gen. Bay
ard’s cavalry brigade lid boon bolding the
bridge at Rufns SVrd,'end was, of course,
easily driven in upon the advance of the ene
my in force, not, however, without having
givon them evidence of his bravery in captor
ing qulto a number of their officers and pri

General Banks wa. constantly active, mov

how wonderfully he preserved in his memory

There were two thousand In the brigade,

principally to their tardiness in coming np in

Tho 34 Wisoonsin regiment, during the timo
of tho greatest poril and dnngor to the 3d
brigade, were directed to a certain poiition.
They came up well,but the eeverity of the flie
wae too much for their persistency, and they
falterod, broke and ran. Oon. Crawford, him
aelf, with muaket in hand, besought them to
follow him, and go up again to the support of
their comrades, ao vastly outnumbered. They
again marohod up, but only to be again driven
back by an irreaistiblo volley of the rebel’s
missiles.
Col. Crawford’s brigade is tho one who, at
the last battle of Winchester, put to rout ten
regiments of rebola. It was then commanded
by Col. Donnelly, of the 28th New York,
who was, on this occasion, ooolly loading his
regiment and fell, wounded mortally. Tho

Doctor Thomas Dickson.
Secession has elain another victim. In the
death el Dr. Thomas Dickson we record the
second death among the medical men who
went from .opr to James rlkor, to the
relief of our sick and wounded soldiers, after
that glorious, but sad and melsuaboly re
treat."
l 7 Poor Dr. Whlterell, and nowpoor Dr. Toni,
; (thnawoall know him, this was a raptei/ut
sobriquet) hare gone away, norer to return,
louring many friends to regret their early and ,
sudden death, and, eaoh of them, a fond wife
; “ d children to mohtn-a hitter and eery sad
berearemont— father and husband out down
in the vary acme of vigorous manhood and
■■ suoeessfnl professional duty.'
, Dl Dieluoh was born U Oasil cotwty,-Mary
land., He was about eight years old when his
mrents emigrated to Westorn Pennsylvania.
11l classical stadias were panned in Jefferson
College, Cannonsborg, and he took his medi
r in ‘he University of Hew York.
In 1851 ho went to Europe to visit some of
the moat noted medical schools, and spent
mo«t of bis time in those of Paris, London,
and. Edinburgh. .
In asserting that the Doctor had the larges t
medical practice in Pittsburgh, we do not ex
oeed the truth. No medical man beradid the
immense work that he has done. /He was
strangely devoted to his profession, nothing
interested him deeply that shared not with it ■
—no pleasures bad fascination for him equal:
to that of his daily work among the sick and r
smneridg. Yon might find more profoand - •
medicalphUosophers, bat is would be impost* -
sible to find any one who had a more varied
and correct, knowledge of practical 'medical ' ■
science, qf whatever physical sefferiog eonld
befall mankind, claimed and obtained his at- ■"
tention and thoughts aid, in his-most sue. i
ewiful career, when patients too numerous for.
;h« time, and attention surrounded him, ho
ever manifested akind and aincersly-coarie--
oue demeanor towards tho most abject or for
saken, that had eons importunately to ,bii
clinic.. Tho temptation which hourly besets
tho successful medical practitioner, and so
frequently makes him soitr, angry and sen
tentious, never appeared to ruSo hie temper,
or rob him, for a moment, of that gentle
kindnese whieh ever -characterised hts de
meanor. .
He was an enthusiast in his profession, and
