nee eee THE EVENING STAR. MINCE PIEs VS. TRACTS. We heard a good story related by 2 German who was contined in one of the bospitais at Nashville, which proves couclusiyety that siek soldiers appreciate food for the stomach more than food for the mind. _ A rebe) lady visited the hospital one morning with a negre servant, who carried a large bas- ket on his arm, covered with a whiie linen elotb. She approached our German triendand accosted him thus: Are you a good Union man !” «7 ish dat,” was the laconic reply of the German, at the same time casting a hopeful glance at the aforesaid basket. “That is all 1 wanted to know,” replied the lady, and, beckoning the’ negro to followf she to the opposite side of the room, where @ rebel soldier lay, and asked him the same question, to which he very promptly replied: «Not by ad—d sight.” The lady thereupon uncovered the basket and laid outa bottle of wine, Mince pies, pound cake, and other deli- cacies which were ity devoured in the presence of the Union soldiers, who felt some- ‘what indignant. On the following morning, however, another made her appearance witha large covered basket, and also accosted our German friend, and desired to know if he was a Union man. -«] ish, by Got; I no care what you got; I bese Union.” 4 ‘The lady then sct her basket on the table, and our German friend thought that the truth availed in this case, if it did fail in the other. But imagine the length of the poor fellow’s face when the*lady uncovered the basket and mted him with about 2 bushel of tracts. He shook bis head dolefully and said: “Ino read English, and peside, ditt rebel on te nonter side of te house need dem so more as me.” The distributed them and left. e jet long afterwards along came another richly dressed lady, who propounded the same question again to the German friend. He stood gazing at the basket, apparently at a loss for a Teply. At length he answered her, in Yankee style, as follows: : “By got, you no git me dis time; vot you got mit de basket!” The lady required an unequivocal reply to her question, and was about to move on when our German triend shouted out: «Ifyou got tracts, I bees Union; butif you got mince pie mit pound cake unt vine. I bees secesh lak te tibel.” Sick soldiers have little desire to read tracts when they are famished for the want of those little delicacies eo conducive to the recovery of hospital patients. When our ladies visit hospi- tals with tracts we should suggest the impor- tance of accompanying them with a basket of provisions ; they will be better appreciated.— Louiscilie Jourual. wa Not long since one of the field offjcers of the ith Wisconsin rode upto headquarters, his horse reeking with feaim trom hard riding, dismounted and threw the rein to Giles, saying, «Feed him.” “Is he not too warm to feed now !” inquired Giles. “No, you may feed him with impunity.” “Impunity!

This corps shall consist of companies, and if it shall hereafter be thought best, of battalions. The companies shall be made up from the follow- | ing sources, Vi: First. By taking those officers and enlisted men of commands now in the field (whether actually present or temporarily absent) who, from wounds received in action or disease contracted in the line of duty, are unfit for field service, but are still eapable of effective garriton duty, or such other | light duty as may be required of an Invalid Corps. | Regimental] Commanders shall at once make out, from information received from their Medical and Company Officers, and from their own Knowledge, rolls (according to the ferm furnished) of the names of all the officers and enlisted men under their commands who fulfill the following condi- tions, 1 1, That they are unfit for active field service on aecount of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty ; this fact being certified by a Medical | Officer in the service, after personal examination. 2. That they are fit for garrison duty; this fact being likewise certified by the Medical Officer, as above, after personal examination. 8. That they are, in the opinion of their Com- manding Officers, meritorious and deserving. These rolls shall be certified by the Examining Surgeon and Regimental Commander, and trans- mitted, through the regular channels ef military | correspondence, to the Provost Marshal General of the United States. The Hegimental Commander shall enter into the | column of remark#@opposite each officer’s name on thercll, a statement as to the general character of the officer for intelligence, industry. sobriety, and | attention to duty; and all intermediate Com- manders shall indorse thereon sach facts asthey | may possess in the case, or if they have none, they shall state how far they are willing to indorse the opinion of the officer or officers making the recom- mendation.

M. Jackson, of this city, becauce I was prejudiced against them fer many years, under the impression that they were chietly an alcoholic mixture. I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prcyudice by proper tests, ‘and for encourage- mert to try them, wh@n suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the present ear. was followed by evident relief, and restoration ‘0 asiegree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, and almest de- epaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and | my friend fer directing me to the use of them. . NEWTON BROWN, Philadelphia, June 22, 1861.

AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS, We call the attention of all ets | relations er friends in the army to the fact that ““HOOFLAND'B GERMAN BITTERS” will cure nine-tenths of the diseaces induced by exposures an@ privations inci- dent toca:ap life. In the lists, published almost daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of the sick, it will be noticed that avery large proportion are suffering from debility. Every case of that kind can be readily enred by Hoofiand’s German Bitters, Diseases resulting from disorders of the di ive organs are rpeedily removed. We have no hesita- tion in stating that, if these Bitters were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of lives might be saved that otherwise will be lost. ‘We cal! particular attémtion to the tee: J Te. markable aud well autl sted cure of one of the nation’s heroes, whose touse hisown “bas been saved by the Bitters :”” PHILADELPHIA, August{73d, 1863, Messrs.
