At nchor in Hampton, Roads we lay,
Oo Boari of the CumhtrUaJ i!oop-of-war;

Editor Journal:
I am spending a few days hi
this place, and, under the im
pression that a lew line may be
welcome to the readers of your
paper, I write tbm. On the
way from Louisville here, one
tees the fearlul destruction of
war every lew mile; fences and
buildings destroyed, railroad iron
torn up, and bent, and railroad
bridge? that cor-t their thousand?,
and were once the pride ol the
country round, reduced to a scat
tered heap of charred timber !
These bridgeware all replaced by
a structure either temporary or
permanent in its character, but
still trie work of ruin stares you
in the face, and the presence ol
a detachment of troops, reminds
you that the work of repair can
have no permanence, without the
wearing out of valuable lives in
the camp, and the crushing ol
tond hearts at home. Arrived
hpre, one sees yet more vividly
the desolation. Imagine one
fourth of Winchester, comprising
nearly all its bet buildings, giv
en to the liames, hep of brick
and mortar, ashes and blackened
timber, and ynu will-have some
conception of the appe.i ranee of
this town. Imagine the ties ol
friendship, brotherhood, parent
age, that have grown with your
growth, and twined themselves
round your heart, contitutin all
your enjoyments and softening
all your sorrow; imagine all these
consumed by the lurid Harnes ot
the rebellion, and in their stead
bitter hate ; neighbor warring
against neighbor, friend against
friend, brother against brother,
and yon will have some idea ot
the ruin of social relations.
Convert your churches, school
houses, and other largest build
ing to the number of sixteen
intomilltajy hospitals, crowd into
them three thousand sick soldiers,
dirty, without a change of clothes,
three-fo irths of them with no
bed but a blanket, and no pillow
but a knapsack; cut oil all pos
sibility of immediate relief; see
from five to fifteen of these poor
sutlerers dying diily hundreds of
miles away from home and
friends, and you will have a
counterpart of the euffering and
loss of life that wo are compiled
to see here. Such is Bowling
Green to-diy. Before the re
bellion it wa a beautiful a:;H
prosperous vilUe. It may ap
pear to you who are at hon.e,
that this miserable state of the
sick mast be owin to culpibl
neglect on the part of thost
having them in charge; but one
who is here, and knows the va?t
amount of work done by the
Post-Surgeon, Dr. Pearson, ar,d
his subordinates, and appre
ciates at their true value the line
sensibility that prompts, and the
fine executive ability that directs
this work, will come to a very
difterent conclusion. Every thing
is bein; done that can be done;
and in a very few days there
will be a great ciangc. Bur.ks

A few days ago a soldier in
jail for some offense was attack
ed with measles. Dr. Pearson
ordered him out and in doing so
visited the institution. Happen
ing to be hauging round at the
time, I got an invitation to go j
along and of course accepted it.
The jailor unlocks the door and
in we go. A villainous smell
salutes our nostrils, and looking
round wc see about lilty persons,
men. women, and children, con
tined in a damp room about lif-
leen feet square, nearly all of
them looking as hopelersly mis
erable as a human being could
well look. About threelourths
of these poor creatures arc ne
groes, or iimlattoes of S3me on
of the many shades. I inquired
why they were here, and learned
'hey were guilty of one of the
worst of all crimes, man-steal,
ing. They were the properly
ot their masters and without the
if ar of (iod belorc their eyes had
attempted to steal themselves
away.
Dr. Clason, of Hospital No.
13, told me of a circumstance
yesterday evening that may bear
repeating. A bright mulatto
woman belonijin to a friend who
lives jut across the street from
the Hospital, and whose name i
Everett, was in the habit of com
ing into the hospital twice a day
to Kweep it up, and do what she
could to promote the comfort of
the sick I ler master threatened
that if she did not quit if, he
would give her a hundred lashes,
but still she came, contrary to
thrt advice of th? Doctor, who
did not wish her kindness ol
heart to bring upon her such a
terrible punishment. Two or
three days ago she ceased her
visits, and her husband reports
that the brutal threat has been
executed. Now 1 have a great
horror of being called a "damn
ed abolitionist " and I am trying
to learn to look upon incident
like these as only some of the
divine features of the peculiar
institution. Of course I admire
them, and if you fail to realize
my admiration, it is only because
I hive been unfortunate in tiie
choice of words.
There aro but few troops en
camped near the town; but, from
the lare number of teams I sec
- and the quantity of commissary
stores that are being consumed,
there must be several regiments
not very far oiT. Daily, troops
are pouring Southward by hun
dreds, and now and then we sec
some moving Northward. Yes
terday a battalion of the 60th
Indiana rnarcned through th
street with steady tnmp, on their
way to Indiana, to join their
cumrades who were captured and
paroled at Mumtordsville.
Where the regiment, re-united,
is destined to go, I know not.
Trains still run no further than
Mitchellville, and unlucky trav
elers Southward are hiving their
pockets nicelv picked by 'bus
drivers and othr birds of prey.
This great thoroughfare, so im
portant to our military opera
tions, will be open again in a
few days, and then the pent up
current of goodi nd mm eai

on seeing the General. Oe ol
these yesterday rushed up to
Gen. Kosecrans, intruding her

'Is thi Gen. Kosccnns?''
"Ye., madam."
"Well, General, can't I have
a pass?"
"Madam," (with a low bow.)
"Itisnotmy business to give
you a p?ss; it is my duty to re

Another lady approached on
another occaion, and begin with
a pitiful story in regard to her
'poor, dear, sick uncle."
"I condole with you, madam,"
said the General, in tint juiet
way ot his. 4 lt is unfortuuite j
that uncles will sometimes get
serously indUposed. I, too,

"Yes, madam, I do, ail whei.

It would of course be an anti

lor the families of soldiers, 1 feel
it incumbent upon me to earnestly
recommend to you immediate co
operation in this benevolent and
patriotic work.
The precursors of a rigorons
winter, and the rapid advance in
the price of fuel, provisions, and
all the necessaries and and com
forts of life, foreshadow destitu
tion and sutferin that can only
be mitigated or prevented by the
prombt and systematic action of
all good citizt-n$ throughout our
commonwealth. Such action
wiil not only relieve the wants
of those in our own midst who
have been rendered poor by the
bresent strudle for our Nation
al existence, but will strengthen
the hands and cheer the hearts of
tho:c who have gone fourth to
light for our Government.
I do not advise that in thi? you
should act denominationally, but
ilnfyou should co-operate in
carrying out the spirit of the pro
clamation both with the civil au
thorities and with all those, by
whatsoever name they may b
called, who love Him who says
that all kindness to the poor and
the suflering is kindness to Him-
! elf. To this end I YOtlld flu
! get that the minister of the M.
, . Church, in connection with
the clergy of all other denomin
ation:, in each county through
out the State, hold a meeting, in-
v 1 1 i 1 1 ? the townshirj Trutres to
I joia them and agree upon sou
rirginized method of relief and
visitation since the work to fe
done is a grt-at one, and nothing
but organized, intelligent, ar.d
persistent efTort can accomplish
it.

chews all promises unattended by

by what they say. but bv wht
they do. I call your attention to
