Hospital management.

A correspondent reveals to us some statements relative to the treatment of sick soldiers, which lead us to suspect that there is something wrong of which the Government is not aware. Sick men require good treatment; and, therefore, it is that we are surprised to learn that they are sent from Manassas in box cars, piled in without any regard to comfort — sometimes upon wet floors, and left to shift for themselves as best they can. The writer is very severe upon the management of the hospital at Culpeper Court-House. The food given to the sick, according to this statement, is by no means such as it ought to be, and it is not surprising that curable diseases often result in death upon such "nourishment" as we have a description of. If the facts in relation to these matters, and others connected with Government hospital management generally, are properly communicated to the authorities, we have no doubt that the corrective will be at once applied.
