is due to the Rev Thomas Smith, the Chaplain, for his exertions in securing the services of these devoted ladies. The sick seem to be doing very well. The cool, bracing atmosphere has an invigorating effect that is profitable everywhere. From the hospital proper I descended to the basement. Here in the "reception room" I found the headquarters of Col. Reynolds, the commander of the station. He is a gallant officer and a generous-hearted man. In the "stage, office" my old friend Dr. Wm. H. Cushman was holding forth as chief steward, and all speak favorably of his untiring labors in behalf of the sick. In the "bar-room" I found a well ordered apothecary shop, (I wish that every establishment of the kind in the land was alike metamorphosed,) with friend Goldwell dosing out drugs as busily as upon the banks of his own native Kanawha.--Among the many refugees I met here engaged in the noble cause of attending the sick, are Dr. Austin, of Jackson county, and Mr. Quarrier, of Kanawha

A. Crenshaw, the medical director, is well known in your city as a gentleman and an able physician. Last night it was quite cold and the white frost glistened in the bright rays of this morning's Sabbath sun, as they streamed through the branches of the leafless trees, shading such a pensive quiet over the face of Nature, that to me there was something holy in the solemn repose. In fact, it was a-- "Sweet day, to pure, so calm, so bright, The bridal of the earth and sky." At 11 o'c

Malevolent imputation Answered. Camp-- Nov. 17, 1861. Editors Dispatch: In the Dispatch, of the 14th inst., I find the following paragraph in a letter to the New York Herald, from "Camp Butler, Newport News, Oct. 27th 1861:" "Yesterday afternoon General Phelps sent out a detachment of Company D. First New York, Volunteers, under command of Lieut. ingersoll, to a house belonging to Baker P. Lee, about three miles from camp. For the last month the only occupants of the house have been a poor white woman and three negresses. Some days ago Lee sent a messenger to this white woman, warning her to leave the house, as he purposed to burn it down over her head. The woman was, of course, frightened, and fled in the direction of Back River, and when one of our scouting parties, on Friday last, came to the house, they found one of the negresses in a dying condition, and the other two, being old and diseased, unabled to take care of themselves.

ng, promising her liberal remuneration if she would take care of them. Two or three weeks ago, having heard the lady had left the place, and that these helpless old creatures had been taken to Newport News, Capt. Lee and myself obtained from Gen. Magruder the privilege of going down with a flag of truce to reclaim them, if possible, that we might see them comfortably cared for by those (as Gen. Magruder nobly expressed it) "whose duty, as well, as pleasure, it is to protect them." We went withGen. Magruder nobly expressed it) "whose duty, as well, as pleasure, it is to protect them." We went with the flag, and one of the old women was returned to us. The other had died a few days before from a paralytic stroke, and we had the consolation of learning from several Federal officers that she was decently interred. Such is a plain statement of the truth of this matter, in answer to the malevolent imputation of the Herald's correspondent, ill concealed in his reference to the "old ladies," whom he would have the world to believe were inhumanly forsaken by their masters, and abandoned to the

piquant allusions to the "events of the day," such as the little affair at Lees burg, &c., &c. In reply to a remark made by one of our party in reference to the negroes of the neighborhood, one of the Federal gentlemen asserted their skill in playing "poker," whereupon it was suggested to him that they had acquired the habit since they parted company with us, pleasantly insinuating that "evil associations corrupt good morals." We were courteously received by every officer we met, except Gen. Mansfield, whose bitterness of feeling and acerbity of temper were most rudely exhibited. But I will not trespass further on your space. Should this reply to the false statement of the Herald's humanitarian correspondent at Newport News chance to meet that worthy's eye, he may rest assured that the "old lady" is now with her master and mistress, contented and comfortable, and by no means desirous of renewing her acquaintance with her Yankee friends — the despoilers of that "old homestead" sh

But to the incident: While awaiting an answer from General Phelps, at a point on the road near Newport News, we were approached and accosted by two young officers of the post, with whom we had quite a lively conversation, now and then spiced with an interchange of good-humored "hits," conveyed in piquant allusions to the "events of the day," such as the little affair at Lees burg, &c., &c.
