Tue Axuy Hosritats —We continne our ar- ticles on the Army Hospitals by a notice of the one located In the Washington I ap ity Hall. building (formerly the county J=!1) and the square on which it stands belong to the Government After the present ja!l was boiit and the prisoners Temoved to it, the faculty (of the medical depart- Ment) of Columbia College were allowed to use the vacated building as an Infirmary for citizens and strangers. Additions were built and i provements made. not the least being the tasteful arrangement of the court yard in front, in which shrubbery and flowers were planted. When the Capital was threatened and troops amassed here for tts defence, it became necessary to provide hospitals for the sick and wounded, and this was the first building used for that purpose in the District. Arrangements were made for the transfer and the Government resumed possession about the 1th of May. Since that date the other hospitals noticed in the Star of Saturday bave been opened, but th! one stands preéminent, whether we consider its Insulated position, ellowing the admission of light and air on every side, or the admirable nd ol mrp which is most favorable for ventila- emp and of which due advantage has been taken in the arrangement of wards and corridors. The building Is three stories high, and is of shape with a large rectangular addition bul right angles to the center of the main building in the rear. There is ample room in the wards for 209 pa- tients, and they seldom have so many within the ‘walls; but directly after the battle at Stone Bridge there were 250 sick and wounded soldiers in the building, many of course, having to be laid on Mattresses in the corridors. This was unavoid- but lasted only a day or two, the convales- cents being immediately removed to other quar- ters, to make room for the seriously sick and wounded. The hospital is now reserved for acute cases, and at present contains only 140 patients. ‘There are five wail tents in the rear of the bnild- ing In which the patients suffering with erysip- elas bave heen removed, that disease being read- ily communicated to wounded persons. They are here more comfortable probably than they would be inthe wards during such op ‘weather as we bave hed the last week or two. The wards in which they were formerly, have been thorcughly cleansed and purified, and are now ready for the reception of other patients. We notice that the rubbish is being removed from the lot on which the building stands, and understand that a fence is to be built along F Street, thus enclosing the square on every side, preparatory to its being planted and beautified This hespital is in chargeof Dr. WLite, assisted by Drs. Gooley and Boteler, all of the U.& army. There is x male attendant to each ward, besides general officers The Sisters of Mercy, of whom ‘here are six or eight in the institution, administer the medicines and attend to the comfort of the patients and the general police arrangements ‘The tenderness of feeling. warmth of heart, and deep sympathy with suffering, which charac- ‘erizes women under all circumstances, is com.

He wes stating what he expected to prove for when our report closed. Army Movements.—A Regimental Surgeon and a frisky “‘ Matron.”—A few days since, with one of the ater regiments there came a tall Drunette (moderate! good looking), who occupied the position of ‘matron’? (whatever that may be) to the regiment, and who, Binder the attentive care of the surgeon of the same, made application for board at # house not far from the Capitol. On en- j tering the house bow f evinced some mpc at ve | Cipitately left, and took w: ‘dined tn them, with the stern teachingsof religion | and morality; and many a poor, beart-sore. home- sick, wounded or dying soldier has called down blessings on the bead of the Sister hovering over his couch. scotbing bis sufferings, and pointing bam to a better world, where there is no more sickness or sorrow.

There are bere cheerful, airy bath-rooms. on each foor—for the use of patients— supplied with warm or cold water. There also water closets on ench flcor The cul! arrancements—so im where—are admirable, and the kitchen and its Sppurtenances were. to uss a not uncommon pare ‘dreadful nice ” . . .— or two before we close, in regard to the tents. PeNearly one-balf of those here are wounded men, and of these a large proportion—too large— are men wounded accidentally in the camps {i this vicinity. Many such cases we saw. Oni man_ bad bis foot amputated atthe ankle joint, the bones of that useful member having been sbattered bya bullet The heel had united with the ‘cut’? on which it was turned, and the “stump” had a healthy appearance, of which the patient seemed quite proud. It was what sur- geors would probably term ‘‘a beautiful case.”’ Of the wounded in the late battles, there are a it many yet in the hospitals, most cf them joing well. Colonel (when wounded. now Bri adier General) Slocum is doing well, and it hoped will soon be about again He was woun ed in the thigh. it will be remembered. Colonel Farnbam. of Elisworth’s Zouaves—gallant fel low—is ina critical condition, and there is but Uttle hope of bis ultimate recovery Many other officers are here, but the moat of them are doing Of the sick, a large proportion of the cases are typhoid fever. Thb's seems to be a prevalent dis- ease among the soldiers, cxu+ed probably by their babifa, and much aggravated by the depression of spirits caused by home-sickness, the Inte reverse, &c_ But few of the patients, however. manifest the stolidn-ss and arathy which characterize the Most severe cases of this fever. Our visit ws probably the means. under Provi- dence, of saving a patient’s life. We had visited a werd on the third floor, in company with Dr. Boteler. who point-d out 2 man wounded in the Stone Bridge affair by a bullet, which entered bis cheek and shattered the lower jaw The bullet could not be extracted The wounded man was sitting in a drooping ition on the side of his bed. looking miserable enough to be sure; but there was nothing at all alarming in his appear- ance. We turned to leave the door, and had pro- ceeded but = few steps when an attendant called to Dr. Botrler, and satd a man was bleeding to death. The Dr burried back, we followed, and found the attendant supporting the wounded man we bad just lefta moment before. Theblood was pouring in a continuous and full stream from bis mouth, and bad already nearly filled a basin in the hand of an attendant, which would bo!d more than a quart. The doctor spreng to the patient’s side, and promptly placed his hand on bis throat, compressing the carotid artery from whence the bemorhage led. and itsoon ceased. The poor fellow fainted in the doctor’s arms from loss of blood, an ominous rattle sounded in his throat, and thought all was over; but he rallied again. Gooly oy eye attention to the cate, and when we left the patient was com- parstively comfortable, and the hemorhave had entirely ceased One minute's delay and he must bave to death, and that minute would have been lost if Dr. Boteler bad not through courtesy accompanied us to the third floor, thus being on bade a Sucb are some of the ‘‘horrors of war,” re only familiar to most of us by descrip- tion, now become stern realities in our midst.

The surgeon also seemed iu high dudgeon that bis timid friend should be compelled to share her room with a stranger, and marched off to bis own virtuous pillow ina high state of efferves- cence. The matron’s nervous flutter seemed to have grown with the hours tn such sort that she was afterwards discovered en dishabtle in the surgeon's room, supported by the manly Escula- pian arm, in a manner flattering to the uallautry of the man, and soothing to the fears of the lady, no doubt, buta ition hardly befitting the dig- nity of his profession, and certainly not that of the matron of one thousand and forty-five men. So the hust thought, and the delinquents were warmly advised to seak other quarters without delay, which they did.
