The above is as correct a list as your correspondent has been able to obtain of the deaths which occurred since the lectitution of this General Hospital.
You will see that the mortality has not been great Slice the middle of July there has been nearly two thousand men sent here sick and wounded.
The battles of
Bull Run and Stony Bridge made it necessary that the hospitals at
Manassas and
Culpeper should be emptied of the sick to accommodate the wounded, and they were crowded here to the amount of 1,200 or 1,300--sick and wounded — in a few days, without any preparation having been made for their accommodation.
There were but two surgeons —
Drs.
Cabell and
Davis — who only received their appointments a few days before.
They did all that men could do to provide for the unexpected arrival, working for days and nights without rest, assisted by
Mr. George Dewden, of
Richmond as druggist
Dr. Peter Winst a, of
Chesterfield;
Dr. Lance,
Dr. Nelson Dr. Paston,
Dr. Gooch,
Dr. Allen,
Dr. Carter,
Dr. Hughes and Cottars, of this town; also
Dr. Binnell, of
Charleston, South Carolina, who, regardless of their private practice, volunteered their assistance, and worked night and day. The of this county and town deserve every praised in fact, every citizen competed with the other as to who could render the most assistance and supplies.
Private houses were thrown open, and the question was How many sick or wounded can I
Major Peyton, of the
Farrish House, placed himself and force in the service, and furnishing provisions &c., &c. For ten days there was no addition made to the medical staff; and the
Surgeon General seems to have forgotten that such a place existed.
Since their
Surgeon Warren, of
North Carolina, late
Professor in the Medical College of
Maryland, has arrived, and performed with at many and serious operations, also,
Dr. Fairfax and others.
Everything is getting well organized here now — the great want is medicines; great difficulty is experienced in obtaining it and the heads of he medical department in
Richmond seem to wait to get everything almost from New Orleans or other Southern cities — ever such simple articles as iron, which any druggist apprentice of one year's standing could make.
Even after articles are ordered, it takes a week or more to reach their destination, 100 or 150 miles off. Whether the fail is at the door of the Medical Department, or
Quartermaster's, or railroads, deponent knoweth not. In conclusion,
Messrs. Editors, too much praise cannot be given to the citizens of
Charlottesville and vicinity, or to
surgeons Cabell and
Davis, for their untiring efforts to assist those who suffered in their country's cause, or fought and blew under the victorious Southern flag, on the 21st day of July, 1861.
