PERKINS LIBRARY OF DUKE UNIVERSITY I* Rare Books •A, RALITY, OP WHICH WE HAVE BEEtf THE STEWARDS. REPORT Of the Committee of the South Carolina Association, entrusted tv ith the balance of the fund given by Governor Pickens U the Colonels of the South Carolina Regiments in Virginia: By action of both houses of the Legislature at their last .session, the sum of thirteen thousand! four hundred and eighty- two dollars and fifty cents, (§13,482 50,) being the unexpended balance of the fund given by Governor Pickens in July, 1861, to the Colonels of the South Carolina Regiments in Virginia, and approved of by the Legislature, was turned over to the Ex- ecutive Committee of the South Carolina Hospital Aid Asso- ciation, Subject to the check of the Chairman of that Commit- tee. In its expenditure it was denned best, to confine it to such permanent and general arrangements for the relief of the sick and wounded, as would furnish a basis for the application of contributions from private generosity and enterprise, and bo impartially available to all the troops from the State. It was therefore — as the annexed exhibit will show — mainly expended in the rent and furnishing of the South Carolina Hospitals — in the purchase of supplies in bulk — and the transportation of agents, freight, kc. For a succinct account of all of our Hospitals, and of the work done by the Committee in behalf of the sick and suffering, I refer to the pamphlet accompanying this official report, which is designed both to furnish an account of our stewardship to the various benefactors, individual and associated, who have thought fit to make us the medium of their patriotic charities — as well as to be a memorial of the noble exertions and sacrifices of the women of our State in behalf of their brave defenders. It will be seen by the financial statements contained therein, that Die vol mtary contributions of the people have kept pace with the bounty of the State,' and have been used for the most part in defraying incidental and current expenses. Owing to the fact that the condition of the Hospitals gene- rally, have become much improved of late under the vigorous, systematic and judicious exertions of the Medical Department; the necessity which called for the establishment of private and State Hospitals has ceased to exist. These were always designed by us to be temporary and auxiliary to the Government arrange- ments. Not being embarrassed by the technicalities incident to Governmental operations, we could extemporize provisions for the sick and wounded ; and by reason of our freedom of action and access to irregular sources and means of supply, could relieve much suffering by the way, until more ample and permanent ar- rangements could be effected. The application of money, there- fore, to the establishment of Hospitals and Homes for the sick was thought judicious. But now that everything in the Medi- cal Department is systematized, and it is all important that uni- formity every where prevail, and responsibility be no where divided — we have deemed it equally wise to retire from the management of the Hospitals, and to turn them over to the Government authorities, giving them all of the furniture, &c, and assigning to them the liabilities for rent, &c. This has also been done, I understand, with the Hospitals of other States. Still our work is not ended. Much is yet to be done. The sick in Hospitals need other and better attention ; more and more costly nourishment than is afforded by the appointed ar- rangements. ( There is too much suffering in the field, during and after battles, before the slow machinery of a Government, bound by rules and forms, can come up to the rescue. Tempo- rary field and way-side provision for the sick are all important to the health and spirits of the volunteer. Then, too, clothing is as necessary to the sick as medicine. This is to be supplied in addition to the quota drawn from a Kegimental Quartermaster. The soldier is unversed in many of the intricacies of de- partments — he needs a friend to aid him in drawing his pay — getting his furlough or discharge — depositing his funds or bag- gage — writing to his friends, or securing the remains of a fallen comrade. Much baggage, valuable beyond computation now, has been lest by the absence of some careful, interested custodian. Many boxes, richly freighted with articles of food and apparel, no where to be obtained in camp, and full of inspiring and cheerful thoughts of home, and the fond ones he is defending, are de- stro} r ed or pilfered from the soldier by the way, for Want of safe transportation and forwarding. The Executive Committee have, therefore, in retiring from the management of individual Hospitals, retained their interest in the sick whereicr found, and the needy wherever known to be, and the soldiers every where. They have established in Richmond a Hospital Bureau and Baggage Depot, where they issue to all Hospitals containing Carolinians, what they most need, in clothing, and nourishment — where they store all of the private effects of officers and men, and where they receive and forward all supplies sent by friends at home. They are also the appointed agents of the clothing associations throughout the State. They desire to have in their establishment an apartment for housing any soldier, who, arriving late, may be unable to get any shelter for the night in the crowded hotels of Rich- mond — to employ shoe-makers, laundresses, and seamstresses; for repairing and cleaning worn and soiled apparel — in short, to attend in any and every way to the manifold and ever-vary- ing necessities of our volunteers. The aid of the* State patron- age is therefore still solicited. Other States are awake to the importance of this parental regard for their sons. The State of Georgia appropriated a year ago, $200,000. The State of Alabama gave to that public spirited matron, Mrs. Hopkins, thirty thousand dollars, and the Governors of North Carolina have pledged the State to an unlimited amount in provisions for the sick and destitute of her troops. And the Palmettoans will be equally favored by their mother. In behalf of the soldiers of our country, the wounded in the field, the sick in Hospitals — in behalf of the -anxious and tender hearts at home — in behalf of the work in which we are engaged, a work in which your Committee are willing to wear their lives out, rather than let it fall through — they ask the liberal provi- sions of the present Legislature. The people will do much, are doing much ; but we must have something more definite and reli- able than the occasional out-pouring of publjfi sympathy and charities. The money appropriated will be caroully husbanded and judiciously used, and closely accounted for. All that is asked is that it should not be appropriated for a specific pur- pose, but so generally as to be available every where, and for any emergency that may arise. R. W. BARNWELL, Jr., G. H.

R. W. Barnwell, with the advice of Dr. M. LaBorde, to President Davis, and to the Surgeon General, Dr. Camden De- Leon, to give permission and countenance to the establishment of Hospitals along the line of our defences, under the care of certain ladies and gentlemen of our State, who Lad volunteered for the work. It did not meet with such approval as was desira- ble, and the scheme was deemed impracticable and promotive only of confusion and evil ; and it was said that it could not promise any permanent relief, and was calculated to impede, rather than promote, the operations of the Medical Department of the Army. But the sickness which broke out so fearfully among our troops; together with the great lack of provisions for our wounded, at the battle of Manassas ; induced still further effort ; and since the authority to establish hospitals was with- held, the idea was entertained, to establish a. depository for fur- nishing hospitals, wherever they might be located, with all man- ner of aid, in the way of attendance, nourishment and clothing. The hearty concurrence of the very able and successful Medical Director of the Army of the Potomac, Surgeon Thos. H. Wil- liams, in this plan, together with his counsel as to the best mode of procedure, and promise of assistance, induced us to establish a Colony of Carolinians near one of the main hospitals of Nor- thern Virginia, and to open a Bureau for the reception and dis- tribution of hospital stores, which might be contributed by the people of our State. Culpeper was first chosen ; but for good reasons, Charlottesville was subsequently selected, as a more eligible site. A dwelling house was promptly secured, nearest the largest hospital in that town, and a store-house in conveni- ent proximity. Telegraphs and letters appealing for aid, and suggesting the organisation of district and village " Soldier Re- lief and Hospital Aid Societies," were despatched. The valua- ble co-operation of several energetic and philanthropic gentle- men, who happened to be in Richmond ; prominent among whom were Mr. William C. Bee, the lamented George M. Coffin, Prof. Rivers of the South Carolina College, and Dr. Richard North, of Charleston, was secured. The express quickly brought, in response to our telegrams, lot upon lot of valuable boxes, con- taining sheets, pillow-cases, towels, wine, brandies, gelatine, knives and forkr, plates and spoons — every necessary of the sick couch — every comfort of the sick-room. Dr. Branch, of Abbeville, came on immediately after with thirty-six cases, from the prompt and energetic Abbevillians, and added the valuable effort of Mrs. Branch and Mrs. Turner, to the, work already in- augurated by Mrs. Singleton and her daughters, the late Mrs. Haskell and Mrs. Barnwell. The fitld of labor proved a vast and most interesting one — and we were daily reinforced by per- sonal, monetary and material aid. Dr. Bissell, of the Palmetto Guards, and Mr. Stedman, a student of medicine, Mr. Carr, of Charleston, Mr. Latimer, of Abbeville, Mr. Jones, from the firm of Stevenson & Co., Mr. Jackson, so well known for his labors in Norfolk during the yellow fever epidemic, and who is acting the same noble part now in Wilmington, on temporary leave from the Petersburg hospital, formed our little Colony. It then became necessary to obtain an additional residence for our corps. Nurses were sent on to us by the " Young Men's Christian Association,' 1 of Charleston ; and from every village in the State contributions poured in, until our shelves were over- flowing. The business capacities and habits of Messrs. Coffin and Bee, set on foot a plan of systematic accounts and records, which has enabled us, in the midst of much hurry and confusion, to preserve a valuable record of our transactions. The premises hired by us, included a two story wooden build- ing, near the Rail-Road ; and this we fitted up as a wayside shelter for the sick, who were brought to Charlottesville at all hours of day and night, and were compelled frequently to lie out in sun or rain, until arrangements for their removal could be perfected. Here we entertained, in a short time, not less than 200 patients, who were medically treated by Dr. R. North. Not long after our establishment, Dr. J. L. Cabell, the Surgeon in charge of the hospitals at Charlottesville, made a proposition to put under our care a building he had just leased for a hospital, and which had all the conveniences of a private dwelling, and which, with the many resources at our disposal, could be made a Home for our sick. We readily consented, and Dr. North took wn-ofricial charge of it, and thus, indirectly, was established tlie first private hospital in Virginia, — the "Midway," — known to every Carolinian in the old army of the Potomac, as the pleas- antest spot except his own home, for the sick and suffering sol- dier. Towards the latter part of September, a movement was made in the State, and also by the South Carolinians in Rich- mond, to increase our hospital accommodations ; and in accord- ance with an arrangement made by the Surgeon General with 10 the Georgia State Association, permission was granted us to es- tablish other hospitals, paying for rent and furniture, with the privilege of nominating surgeons for a Confederate commission, who should draw rations, medical supplies, and contract for nur- ses at the government expense. A building was secured in Manchester and promptly organized, by Drs. J. J. Chisholm and B. Fishburn, the appointed surgeon and assistant surgeon. The buildings so well known in Charlottesville as Mrs. Dunkum's, Mrs. Daniel's and Mrs. Harris', and used for a generation back as boarding houses for students, were rented, with all their fur- niture and conveniences ; and the services of two of the ladies secured as matrons. The lines of the Orange and Alexandria and Manassas Gap Rail-Roads, were also thoroughly explored for suitable locations for hospitals nearer to the field than Char- lottesville or Richmond, and after fruitless search in every vil- lage, from Gordonsville to Winchester, a large building was found l} T ing at the Warren Springs, but a mile from the Manassas Gap Rail-Road, between Front Royal and Strasburg. Tempo- rary accommodations for sick, were also made at Salem, and shortly after the Monticello House was added to the Charlottes- ville group. Something like an association was formed by the various gentlemen who met together in Richmond, sufficiently formal and distinct to prevent dispersion or collision of action on the part of the people of the State, yet sufficiently free and voluntary in its action to escape the deadening influence of red tape and bureau technicalities and restraints. The executive committee was composed of the active working members of the association. All such, and none but such, were vested with the control of our operations. The effect of these arrangements upon the spirits of the men in the field was manifest. They no longer deemed themselves neglected, or of little moment. They felt the kindness of their people in looking after their wants. The sight of Carolinians by their bed sides, cheered and gladdened their hearts ; the presence of bed clothing and curtains, crockery and toilet con- veniences, from their own homes and families, brought up a train of pleasant and wholesome associations. Gradually the feeling of being neglected by their government, and the indifference and indeed disgust of the service, which began seriously to affect our army, passed off, and we have had the assurance from Officers and men, that our hospitals had done more to promote re-enlist- ments than all the appeals of generals or legislation of Congress ! The interest which the patrons and friends of these hospitals, in the army and at home, manifest towards them, induces us to give a sketch of each in detail. 11 THE HOSPITALS. [1.] Tlic Midway derived its name from its position on a knoll midway between the C. II., at Charlottesville, and the Uni- versity. It was a private boarding-house of much favor, and with its large rooms, airy passages, commanding prospect, and double piazzas, was a place one would choose to be sick and get well in. It was our first Hospital, and no pains were spared to make it complete in every respect. The Ladies' Christian As- sociation sent us on a Steward and Matron. We had experienced nurses from Charleston. Mr. E. E. Jackson acted as Apothe- cary, and Dr. Richard North as Surgeon. Dr. LaBorde was a daily visitor; and every thing was done to banish from the mind and senses, the associations, the thought, the appearance and odor of a Lazaretto. "We received a most invaluable accession, just after opening the buildrag, in the persons of Mrs. Rion of Winnsboro', and Mrs. McAlpine of Spartanburg, who acted for a while as nurses. The latter soon gave way under the severity of the labours, and was compelled to return. Mrs. Rion, after the retirement of Dr. Rivers and his estimable lady, assumed the place of Matron, and still holds it ; and a more efficient, patriotic, able, kind, authoritative manager is nowhere to be found. Her manage- ment is " sui generis." No one can: imitate it; no one surpass it. In neatness, cheerfulness, economy, order, successful nurs- ing, it has always been the first of our Hospitals ; and it has been said by numberless visitors, to be the first of all the hos- pitals in Virginia. To this the kindly and faithful nursing of Mrs. Pope, of Abbeville, contributed no little; but the secret spring which has ever given its peculiar character to the Midway, is unquestionably the genius of the very remarkable woman who presides there. Various Surgeons have been in charge of this hospital. To Dr. North succeeded Dr. Theo. Gourdin, a gentleman of un- assuming, yet unusual medical attainment; accomplished in all the learning of the profession, and most happy in its applica- tion. It was to the great regret to every member of the As- sociation, that ill health caused him to return to the South with the approach of winter, and that apprehension of disease still withholds him from his country's service. Dr. Chs. Carter, an elderly practising physician of Charlottesville, and who held a Surgeon's commission in the war of 1812, was also in charge for some months ; and wa.3 succeeded by Dr. James Mcintosh, 12 • a young graduate of the Charleston Medical College. Under both of these gentlemen disease yielded to the touch, and death and suffering relaxed their sway. The records of the Midway are among the best on our rolls. Tt was truly with pain we visited this favorite place to turn it over to the Confederate authorities. It was like parting with a pet child, but Mrs. Rion still continues there, assisted by Mrs. Clark of Charleston,, and this is a link with the past. I believe it is designed to surround the Midway with a group of sheds, or cabins, such as are erected at the Delavan, Chimborazo, and Camp Winder, and thus make it the nucleus of accommodations for 500 or GOO sick. [2.] Soldiers' Homes was a name we gave, to avoid the un- palatable name of hospital, to the boarding houses near the University at Charlottesville, formerly used by the students attending that Institution. There were three in number, and for a season we added a few rooms from a fourth adjacent build- ing. We rented them with all the furniture, and kitchen and table arrangements ; and in two instances, secured the services of the very estimable ladies who owned the establishments. Our object was to banish from the mind of the sick one, all associ- ations of police and restraint, and merciless laws and regula- tions, and to engender all the home feelings so favorable to speedy convalescence. This was effectually done in many instances ; and those who were fortunate enough to be inmates of the "Dunkum's House," or the " Harris House," will carry always with them fond and grateful remembrances of Mrs. Dunkum and Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. McFec, Mrs. Waties, Mrs. Madray, Mrs. Lott, Miss Clarke and Mrs. Becaes. This group of buildings accommodated 175 — 225 patients. Only three or four, and frequently but two, occupied a single room. The mortality here was unusually slight, and the entire arrangement proved as beneficial to the health as' *fc was agreeable to the taste and feelings. Religious services were wont to be held from house to house, and the plan was most favorable to private prayer and devotion. The Surgeons in charge of these hospitals, were Dr. Rembert and Dr. Gourdin, for a time, and afterwards, Dr. 11. E. Walker of Beaufort, Dr. AV. Thompson of Greenville; Dr. Teague and Dr. Arthur, as Apothecaries, and Dr. Chas. Carter of Charlottesville, as Contract Physician. It was at one of these "homes," the Ivy House — that one of the saddest inci- dents connected with our work occurred; and the remembrance of that costly sacrifice has, more than once, come over our hearts, with something like reproach, for having indueed it. It was here that little Emmy Robinson, the youngest child of 13 Mrs. Susan Robinson, who had left her home in Charleston and come on, with family and servants, to live in a hospital for the soldier's sake, drooped and died. She had been the light of the household, the soldier's pride; she teased them, she scolded them, she cheered them, she sang to them, and read to them. I can never forget the New Year's evening, when, mounted upon the table in the dining hall, she held up in her hand the New Year's gift for each soldier, and, reading out his name, tossed to him a pair of socks, a pincushion, a kerchief or pocket comb, with a merry speech or saucy joke ! But when the deep snows of January came, they chilled her warm heart, and froze her gay laugh in death. Many a noble and promising son of the South has drooped beneath the shadows of the Ivy house; many a strong and stalwart form lies prostrate in the near by University burial place ; many a brave and gallant idol of mothers and comrades, and kindred hearts, has been carried out from the Soldier's Home to that home from which there is no returning. Six hundred and sixty-four of the brightest and best of the offerings of Southern homes and firesides, have been offered upon 'their country's altars in that classic village — but, "The noblest tiling that perished there, Was that young and faithful heart/' [3.] The Monticello was formerly the main hotel in Char- lottesville, and consisted of two very large building^, capable of holding 300 patients with comfort. No less than 500 were thrown into it in the early summer of 1861, with scarce a pro- vision for their reception ; and the number of deaths, together with the breaking out of typhoid fever, caused it to be aban- doned ; and fixed upon it a deep-seated prejudice. For months, we looked at the spacious pile across from our residence, and notwithstanding its many admirable qualifications, we dreaded resuming the experiment of re-opening it again for the sick. The approach of winter, however, together with the necessity of increasing, and the difficulty of obtaining accommodations, induced us finally to make the trial. It was scraped, and cleansed, and white-washed from garret to cellar, and made ready for the sick by December. While completing the furni- ture of the older portion, a fire broke out and destroyed for all use one-half the building. A merciful providence seemed to protect us in this alarming accident. Of the 100 invalids in the building at the time, roused up at night, m?.ny of them from their beds, and carried in arms and on litters, to the neighbor- ing houses, not one suffered inconvenience. Three of them, 14 ■whose lives were despaired of, and who were scarcely expected to live the night out, were, in a wonderful manner, startled into life again, and subsequently recovered. The Monticello was fortunate in being so near our abode. Its welfare was never out ot sight or mind. Its inmates were ob- jects of daily thought and concern, to all of the committee, but mainly to Mrs. Lesesne of Charleston, and Mrs. Bacot of So- cietv Hill, and Miss Habcraham of Beaufort, who supervised the wards, the diet, and the laundry, under the direction and constant personal attention of our humane and accomplished surgeon, Dr. E. J. Rembert, of Sumter, was the comfort and success of the establishment owing. Dr. Rambert, in addition to his office du- ties as director of all the South Carolina Hospitals, performed all those of physician to the Monticello, and had frequently un- der his charge the patients of Midway and the Soldiers Homes. By some mistake he received the appointment of assistant sur- geon only, though performing all the duties, and fully entitled to the rank of surgeon in full. The condition ot the building has never been as neat and or- derly as the Midway or as home-like as the Soldiers Homes, but it nevertheless maintained a popularity among our soldiers ; and how could it be otherwise, when cheered daily by the buoyant spirits and smiling face of Mrs. Lesesne, and the quiet but un- ceasing devotion of Mrs. Bacot. The fire destroyed the dietary department which had been elaborately fitted up for Miss Habersham, but she continued, in addition to her housekeeping duties at the Maupin House, to supply nourishment and delicacies to the sick at the Monticello. [4.] "Warren Springs Hospital is situated at the Warren Springs, fifty-five miles from Manassas, midway between Strasbnrg and Front Royal, places now familiar to every South- ern fireside. It was a popular watering place and resort of the people of the Valley of Virginia. A large three story building, with capacious ball room and dining-room, thirty or forty com- fortable chambers, and triple piazzas in front and rear. We hired it with all its furniture and designed to make it a winter home for our disabled soldiers. Dr. Wm. Post was put in charge, as surgeon, and was assisted for a while by Dr. F. M. Robertson, Jr., of our State. Rev. G. W. Hicks represented the committee in supervising its household arrangements, and to his love and habits of order, its admirable management was mainly due. He was assisted in his work by Mrs. Waties of Columbia, Miss Hart and Miss Foushee of Culpeper, and Miss Virginia Davi- son of Warren County. The house was a cold one for winter, and required many expedients to keep it equably warmed, but 15 in every other respect, it was all that the most fastidious taste could reasonably desire. It was opened in November 1861, and received "174 patients, of whom 20 died Owing to a representation of Dr. Post's, of its bleak position and other al- leged objections,- the Surgeon General ordered it to be closed ; but a report of the medical inspector, Dr. Gaillard, approving of its location, arrangements, comforts, in terms of the highest praise, the order was recalled — too late, however, for us. ' The work of disorganization had commenced ; servants had been dis- charged, and stores packed and ready for shipment to Char- lottesville. We abandoned it on the 7th March, 1862. Just at this time, an application was made by the Georgia Hospital As- sociation, upon the recommendation of the medical director, to secure the building, and we transferred our lease to them. The retreat from the line of the Manassa Railroad ensued im- mediately after. Indeed our stores were moved away in the face of the advancing enemy, and the Georgians were compelled to abandon some of their furniture purchased from us. The build- ing has never been re-opened, and, we learn, that in consequence of its having been used by South Carolinians, the Yankee hate of our State and people, upon taking possession of the country, wreaked that wrath upon 'the property which they would fain have poured out upon Charleston. The memory of our work at Warren is, alas, saddened by the fact that Mrs. Waties here breathed her last, from an attack of pneumonia, taken in her de- votion to her duty, and her privilege — the care of the sick. She was as truly a martyr as those that fell in the gorge below, leading up to the heights, upon which we hewed her out a grave, when Jackson's cohorts routed the invading columns of the marauding Banks and Shields. Like them, too, she died without a murmur. She had gone to Virginia to be near her son, whom she had given to her country in the ranks of the Governor's Guards from Columbia : and with the persuasion that other kind hands would do for him, what she' died in doing for others, her pure Christian spirit passed to its joy and rest. [5.] Salem Hospital was only a temporary arrangement for the accommodation of one hundred sick soldiers at a time of great pressure for room in the hospitals along the Orange & Alexandria, and Manassas Gap Railroads. Salem is a small town, twenty or thirty miles from the battle-field of Manassas. It contains few large houses adapted for hospital purposes, and though frequently visited by medical inspectors, had failed to offer any inducements for locating there. In looking for the site of an additional hospital which was to be in his charge, Dr. Isaac Branch deemed it in some respects desirable, and undei 16 some misapprehension one hundred sick South Carolinians were sent there for treatment, "before a single preparation was made for them. Private 'houses were rented, however, and hoard ob- tained for them, and Dr. Branch went very vigorously to work to make them comfortable, and to establish a permanent hospit- al. The place, however, failed to recommend itself to any of the committee. The medical director was unwilling to give his sanction to its adoption. It was impossible to secure a commis- sion for the surgeon, essential to draw the rations and medical stores for the sick ; until the hospital was established and received. This was unavoidably deferred, and Dr. Branch became dissatis- fied and thought it best to go home. Dr. Williams of Fairfax county, was left in charge, and while much exposure had been incurred ; and improvements begun, were to be abandoned at a complete loss; we deemed it judicious to discontinue any further operations, and to send no more sick there. Of the one hun- dred patients, it is pleasant to state, that only two died, which is compensation enough for the large sum, $641 00, expended at Salem. [6.] Wayside Hospital, was the name we gave to large hos- pital tents, which were pitched at Fairfax Station, for the shelter of the sick, who were brought from' the camps to the Railroad Station, to take the early morning cars for the hospitals in the rear. No language can portray the suffering endured by our sick soldiers before this and other still more extensive provisions were made for housing and feeding them, before they took that dreadful passage of thirty to forty hours, on box cars, for Rich- mond and Charlottesville. The custom was, to send them from camp the day before, to Fairfax Station, where they arrived at night. No shelter was here for their weary and fevered heads. No food or stimulant for their fainting bodies. They lay over all night, often in rain and sometimes in the burning sun the following day, without one morsel of food and no one to give them water, from the lone and always crowded spring. They were tumbled into box or platform cars, from which grain, or bacon, or even horses, had, been just removed; and mostly in the chill and early morning, before the light of day, were sent off to Manassas junction, to meet the daily morning, or, in case of detention, the evening train. To lessen this evil, we obtained, in Richmond, two very large sized tents and one smaller one, and carrying down beds and supplies, with plank for flooring, in a car, we pitched in the wild woods our Wayside Hospital. The very first night — before our tents were well stretched upon their poles, or fires lits — eventy sick from Jenkins' and Kershaw's regiments, came upon us. But tea and coffee, was readily pre- 17 pared — though the beds were not made up, the canvass above kept off the chilling, poisonous dews; an early morning repast was hastily furnished some, fresh clothing given to others, pro- visions and reviving wines supplied for the journey ; and the dread of " being sent back" to the rear, began to pass off from the soldiers' fevered dreams. Our expenses were small, but §399 in all, in money. The provisions were supplied from our Bureau, at Charlottesville, and the commissaries of the regi- ments. A cook, and a nurse, the entire force to assist Mr. Jack- son. But during the brief period of our stay, no less than nine hundred soldiers were bedded and fed, and dressed and put on board the cars at Fairfax station. The order to fall back from the station to Manassas, caused a hasty striking of our tents ; and when we designed re-erecting them at the Manassas June- tion, one hundred hospital tents erected by the Medical Direc- tor, rendered our work unnecessary, and released Mr. Jackson for other fields of labour. [7.] Manchester hospital, is situated at the terminus of the bridge which spans the James river, and connects Richmond with the town of Manchester. It was originally a tobacco factory, and capable of accommodating one hundred and fifty patients in the main building. An adjacent house, formerly a stem and store- house, and connected with the factory by a broad scaffolding, is used for dining-room, kitchen and laundry. It was organized by Dr. J. J, Chisolm, with the assistance of Dr. Fishburn, in the month of October, 1861. The owner of the building, Mr. Pilkinton, whose residence was immediately adjoining, was ap- pointed Steward, and to his untiring energy, acquaintance with business, influence among the citizens of Manchester, and uni- form urbanity, the early popularity and comfort of the Man- chester hospital was very much due. Unfortunately, for the continuity of the system inaugurated by Dr. Chisolm, both he and Dr. Fishburn returned to Carolina, early in November, and the hospital passed in a very short space of time into three or four different hands. Notwithstanding the excellent qualities of Dr. Geo. M. Rivers, who succeeded Dr. Chisolm, and the dili- gent attention of Dr. F. L. Parker, who filled the intervul be- tween Dr. Rivers' resignation, in January, and the appointment of Dr. Rives, of Virginia, formerly of Gen. Bonham's staff, in the latter part of February ; and in spite of the earnest endea- vors of the last named gentleman, during the short weeks of his life : much confusion and derangement took place in the details of the management, and after another interreguum, filled with commendable zeal by Dr. Parker, Dr. Middleton Michel was appointed to the place ; in April, but found, with the pressure of 2 18 the sick and wounded from the camps and battle fields about Rich- mond, little time to bring every thing into definite order. On the 19th of June, while amputating an arm, shattered by a ball in the battles of the Seven Pines, he was inadvertently inoculated, and was for six weeks in danger of life and limb, and for months incapacitated for active duty. Mr. Pilkinton, too, fell sick at the same time, and was for a long time near unto death. It was most unfortunate for the good condition of the hospital. Tho assistant surgeons applied themselves with the greatest devotion to the wounded ; as many as three hundred were there at one time. The statistics prove that no labour or skill was spared in dressing their wounds and relieving their suffering ; but all that related to the government, and good order, and cleanliness of the establishment, was neglected, and a train of evils and abu- ses set in, which led finally to a serious grievance and condem- nation. With a perfect knowledge of the case, the advantage of daily observation, and a most sensitive regard to the welfare of the patients, we can lay blame no where. The unfortunate illness of Surgeon and Steward was the sole cause. Dr. Michel, though incapacitated for active duty, entitled and urged to take a fur- lough ; yet for the sake of giving the advantage of his advice and counsel, and at our earnest solicitation, remained in charge, and rendered inestimable service in conferring with, and direct- ing the assistant surgeons, and in giving his experience and eounsel to numbers of Carolinians who were in private residen- ces in the city, and within reach of his abode. Since his recovery, he has taken the reins fully in hand, upturning and re-organizing every department. No establishment in Virginia, promises more comfort to its inmates, for the winter, than the Manchester hospital. Rev. G. W. Hicks has recently received the appointment of Chaplain there, and will be in every way an acquisition. We cannot speak in too high praise of the young medical gentlemen who have been located there ; some from the beginning of the hospital, Dr. Parker, Dr. Biisel, Dr. Jerkins, and Mr. Bird, also Dr. Johnson, Mr. John Parker, and Dr. But- ler, -of Edgefield. They have evinced with a love for their pro- fession, a spirit of benevolence and kindness to th« sick, with not a trace of that official indifference and ease which has been char- ged in the public prints upon the medical staff. Dr. Bissel, it will be remembered, was among the first to join us in our work, and a warmer heart and abler nurse was never found by the bed- side of the sick. The cold weather has required the removal of the tents erected by Dr. Michel, and the hospital has again contracted to its for- 19 mer dimensions. It is much to be regretted that it cannot be enlarged for winter use. [8.] Petersburg Hospital was opened at the recommendation of the Surgeon General, in April last, when the transferrer} ce of the armj to the neighbourhoood of Richmond rendered it desi- rable to concentrate Hospital accommodation in the various cities and towns near the capital. A very capacious factory, or rather a group of factories, was secured through the efforts of Dr. T. A. Lafar, and bringing to our aid the experience of the entire committee, it was in a week or so, cleansed and fitted up for the reception of the sick. It accommodates 450 patients with ease — is divided into 7 large wards ; has all the advantages of water and gas; is admirably arranged in its laundry and cu- linary departments ; is well heated in winter and well ventilated in summer. Dr. Broadinax, of the city of Petersburg, was the Surgeon in charge, and Dr. Ed. R. "Walker was transferred from the Soldiers' Homes in Charlottesville, as his assistant. Owing to some imaginary difficulty in transporting the sick from Rich- mond, or the reluctance of the Surgeon General, to recognize and further the distribution of those from the same States, in the same Hospital ; very few of our own troops have been sent to Petersburg. The Hospital has therefore sometimes been comparatively empty, and been most generally filled with North Carolinians. Most of our Committee are domiciled here. Mr. E. E. Jackson holds the place of Apothecary — Mr. Hicks has supervision of the Wards — Miss Hart, from Warren, of the Laundry, and Mr. and Mrs. McMaster act in the capacity of Hospital Steward and Matron. To the energy and patient in- dustry of Mr. G. H. McMaster are unquestionably due the great praise which has been lavished on the floor of Congress, and every where, upon this Hospital. In fact, long and diversified experience has taught us, that upon the Steward depends main- ly the comfort, order and success of any Hospital. To medical skill, and faithful, prudent nursing, the recovery of serious cases is of course, mostly due. But the large number of patients in a Hospital need little medicine and less nursing, and the com- fort, diet, and management of these, rest with the Steward. Mr. McMaster has been offered positions of rank and other ad- vantages in the army, but has preferred to remain where he is, without either, and where he cannot be spared. "THE BUREAU." The object of this department of our operations has been already stated to be, the storage, assortment and distribution of such supplies as may bo needed by the sick and needy in the / 20 field, or in Hospitals. We have endeavored, so far as was prac- ticable in the "whirl and press of business, to wort systematical- ly, and to carry on the system of book-keeping commenced by Mr. Wm. C. Bee. This was to have an "Invoice book," into which all the boxes, with lists of their contents were copied — an " Issue book," into which all the articles given out in gross and piece-meal, were registered — a " Requisition book," into which were copied lists of all articles issued at the counter upon per- sonal application of the soldier, or recommendation of the Sur- geon, Ward Master, Steward or Captain. These have been kept up by different hands; but most of them are in the hand-writing of Prof. Rivers, Mr. Jones, Dr. Gourdin, Mrs. Barnwell, and Miss Habersham. They enable us to make the following in- teresting abstracts — The Invoice book records the contents of 876 packages, re- ceived from July, 1861, to November, 1862. Most of these were large, some few ponderous. Many of them were valued at the time of reception at $200, some at $500, and very few be- low $40. When our books were laid before Mr. Jones, of the passport office, in Richmond, who was collecting such data, he estimated the average value of the boxes at $100. This was in September, 1861. Making allowance for the enormous in- crease of value, especially in articles of clothing, wines and medicines, since then, we think we may fairly set them down at $250, and the contributions would thus mount up to $210,000 00. As a matter of interest we annex an alphabetical list of the individuals, or societies, or districts from which we have received boxes. Many of these are credited with several boxes. Ladies of Greenville, for instance, with 15 — Ladies' Association, Winns- boro', 16 — Y. M. Christian Association of Charleston, 64. Un- der the head of " Unknown," we record near 200. In these cases the box has not been sufficiently designated, or has borne only the railroad mark — and if any person or district, sending us boxes, should miss them from this list, they should not con- sider them lost; as they may be included in the " Unknown," or have been accredited to the district or village, rather than to the individual. Doubtless many of our boxes have been lost, but not near so many as has been supposed. During the period of shipment through Messrs. Coffee & Pringle, we lost not over twenty; and under the arrangement we adopted last summer, to send them to Columbia, to the care of Dr. LaBorde, and thence by a special agent to Richmond, we have lost few, if any. It is strenuously urged that this mode of transportation be used in every case. 21 LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS To Rev. R. W. Barmvell, for Hospitals in Virginia. Abbeville.

In the distribution of these supplies there were three modes — by wholesale to brigade or regimental hospitals in the field, or to general hospitals, established anywhere in Virginia. In this case we transmitted boxes, as they came to us, directly to the point needed, or we packed boxes ourselves of assorted stores. In this way we sent hundreds of cases to Bonham's Brigade, 25 Hampton's Legion, Culpeper, White Sulphur Springs, Winder Hospital, Warrenton, Winchester, cr -1th. W.E.
