--The editor of the Lynchburg
Republican writes to his paper from this city as follows:
‘
The ladies of
Richmond, as of
Lynchburg, and indeed of the whole country, are making for themselves a fans which will live in all future story, and brilliantly illuminate the brightest pages of our Republic's history.--Discarding all false ceremony, and giving full vent to those feelings and sentiments of devotion which makes her the noblest pert of God's creation and the roundest object of man's existence, the father of this city from all ranks have gone into the hospital, and are hourly engaged in ministering to the wants and receiving the sufferings of their country men.--Mothers and sisters could not be more unremitting in their attention to their own blood than these women are to those whom they have never seen before, and may never are again!
They feed them, house them, and by their presence and sympathy cheer and she courage them, Man's inhumanity to man makes countless millions mourn, but woman's sympathy would every wound and make glad every heart.
’
We copy the following from the Petersburg
Express:
‘
We visited many of the large hospitals in
Richmond a day or two since, and while we could but he grieved at the amount of human suffering all around us, we were equally pleased to notice now the citizens of that place, ladies and gentlemen would flock to the hospitals to as nurses of the wounded.
The gallant soldiers who may have wounded in these battles will have cause to remember long the kindness and attention shown them in
Richmond.
We shall be glad to see such an outpouring of the citizens here when the wounded shall be sent upon us.
