Attention Citizens 1
A Committee from the Council will
wait on each clticen to-day, for the pur-
poso of ascertaining how many aick
soldiers lie can accommodate at his res
idence, or if not. how much he will
contribute to their maintenance else
where. Our Mayor thinks this will he
n better plan than to fix up a hospital.
The war is coming to our doors, and
those who cannot fight, can perhaps
tako care of the sick and wounded.

Editorial Correspondence.
WINTER QUAUTER9, 8th- Ga. Reg.,
near Centpsrii.le, Feb. 12, 1862.
Dear Courier?! As tho sanitary, state
of the troops in tho service, and tho
arrangements for ti eating tho sick are
among the most interesting features of
the campaign, to friends at home, your
correspondent proposes to devote a
portion of this letter to these sub
jects.
In the general arrangements for tho
sick and wounded, there are some
thnigs deserving commendation, and
others disapprobation. In the first
place it was a great mistake, on the
part of tho State of Georgia, to estab
lish her principal Hospital in Rich
mond. a city some 175 miles distant
rrom the place where the great body of
her troops ajro stationed. For, if a man
"Is murh sick or severely wounded, he
will be be sure to suffer exceedingly, on
this long journey, even if he does not,
as several have done, die on the way.
In the second place, there are several
objections to having a general hospital
inanveity;, tho noise and confusion
incident to all largo places," the vitiated
atmosphere and general unhealt'.iful
ness, especially in summer, render all
such places far Ies9 desirable, than a
healthy place in the country, where
pure air and good wator may bo had in
abundance. Another • very important
oljectioti to a city, is tho temptations
there held out to the convalescent
young men. to engage in various dis
sipations, so prejudicial to health. For
these considerations, and others that
might be urged, it-would seem better,
if Goorgia would bostow at least a part
of her munificence, upon tho various
Regimental Hospitals in camp, and
provide means and men, to procure
suitable articles of. diet for tho sick,
and by improving thuit beds and she!
ters, and make them in every way more
comfortable. Aftei this is done, then
let suitable hospitals be established, as
near as possible to the seat of war, and
yet out of danger frim the etsemy, at
some quiet, healthy place in the coun
try, and near tne railroad. In such n
place there will bo nothing to divert
the attention of tho Hospital f fficers
and their assis.ants, or to distract tlic
sick and convalescent.
B©*Wo think the much dreaded
draft will not be made, as the ranks of
tho two companies required from Floyd,
are being rapidly filled up by patriotic
citizens, who prefer to volunteer rather
than be drafted. Thero is room, how
ever, for a few more.
tSpQov. Harris has issued a Procla
mation, for the members of the Legis
lature to meet him at Memphis, for tho
transaction of such business as may be
cubmittei to them.
Nashville.
Tho reports from Nashville and Fort
Doneteon, says the Confederacy, have
been as changeable as the wind. Some
have been tho wildest and moBt extrav-
igant, in their character, while others
apparently reasonable, have been-equal
ly untrue.
For a few days, it has been a pretty
generally received opinion in many
partaof tho country, that Nashville had
capitulated. It was so reported by Dr.
Eve at Augusta, and by others ; and so
general was the belief, and in so many
ways Wits it reported, that we were al
most persuaded ih -t it was true, though
we could never see any reason for it;
and were very loth to believe it.
We learn from a source not likely to
be misinformed, in which we rely, that
Nashville has not been surrendered,
and will not he, except at the point of
the bayonote of an irresistible force ;
and making every preparation to de
fend tlie city to the very last extremity.
We are glad to be convinced, as we ove,
that this is true, Wo understand, from
the same source, that the Yankee gun-'
boats made an attempt to reach the city
a few days ago, but could not get up
tho river, and tvo hope it is so blocked
up that they never will get their boats
up. If this U done—if they have to
approach by lant, where our boys can
meet them in a fair tight, on an *opon
field—we have no fears of tho result.
JBQyTho latest reports wo have state
that tho Federate cnvne within a lew
miles of Nashville, and a flag of truco
was sent to them, but they suspecting
danger, concluded that "discretion was
the better part of valor,” turned and
went down the river. It is now tho't
that Nashville will be defended in case
they return.
The latest reports aro that Gen,
Buckner and a large number of his
orco, are prisoner*.
In the early part of the campaign,
very many, who were sent to the Gene,
ral Hospital at Richmond and other
places, were very kindly taken by fam
ilies, living in the vicinity, to their own
homes, and there received as tender
cave as could possibly be administered
bv stranger hands. But now Richmond
is so crowded, that it is next to impos
sible, for a sick soldier to get a place in
a private family, and in smaller places,
where government hospitals are locat
ed, tho first glow of generosity nv.d
patriotism has subsided, and the fair
and lonely daughters of Virginia, now
feel it more of a task to piovide for
and wait upon the "soldier boys ;” and
as the government has got their arrange
mnnt systematized, and there does not
seem to bo ibal necessity tor individual
effort, that there was at first, these la
bors of lovo and meroy have, to u large
oxtent subsided. So now, if a sick
soldier is sen. from camp, he can count
upon nothing better than what can be
obtained in the Goneral Hospitals them
selves.'
These being tho circumstances, in
nine cases out of ten, tho invalid had
betjar stay in camp, probably in his
own cabin, with his messmates to wait
upon him, than to leave for the General
Hospital, with the present prospect of
obtaining better quitters. IF hen
man is taken tick, he it very sure to
compare his situation here in camp,
with the comforts, and tender nursing
from the hands of affection, he had
bsen accustomed to reoeive, when di
seased at home, and ardently desire to
be carried somewhere, thinking he will
surety be bettered by the change. But
the statistics of this Regiment show
conclusively that there has been less
mortality among the sick who have re
mained in camp, than tnose who have
been pent elsewhere. It should be
borne in mind, that these sent away
aro tho medium class, neither the sick
est nor those nearest well:

The above tnble gives an accurate
idea of the amount of sickness in ou(
Regiment, and mortality from disease.
The whole number of the Regiment
during these months, was between 700
and 800 men. Very many of tho eases
were only slight indisposition, and de
tained the men from duty only a few
day's. Tho writer lias not been ablo to
get full statistics, under this head, for
tiie first three months the Regiment
was in service. August, however, was
tho most sickly mouth, 624 cases hav
ing been treated, yet with but two
deaths in camp; tho i umber of those
out of tho 60 who wore sent away, that
died, is unknown.

The Sick Soldiers,
Some five hundred sick and convales
cing soldiers are now in our city.—
Our citizens almost en masse have
manifested the liveliest interest in
contributing to their wants. Mayor
Calhoun had everything done that was
possible, in the way of procuring rooms,
fuel, bedding, Ac. Dr. Willis West
moreland and Prof. Jones gave every
assistance that skill, oxper.enr.e and
labor cou d render. The various com.
mittees appointed by tho Mayorf liuve
potfoimed their duty faithfully and
effectually. Hundreds of heads of fam
ilies, commencing with the wealthiest
mania the city, have met the soldiers
at the depot, and itave gone to quarters
whore they are lodged, and have taken
to their houses lrom eight to one, as
they were prepared to accomodate, of
these brave but unfortunate soldiers,
who have been turnod over to the per
sonal care of their wives and daughters.

8@y*We clip the following items and
despatches from the Memphis Appeal of
the 20th:
We are enabled to state upon tho
authority of Gen. Beauregard himself,
that lie has not directed tho evacuation
of Columbus. The position will bo
held, we presume, from present indica
tions, at every hazard.
From the reported movements of
the Federal troops above, wo are inclin
ed to believe that an attack is immin
ent at Columbus. Forces are being
landed just below Mayfield oieolc, and
other manoeuvers look suspicious. We
have every confidence in tiie ability of
Gen 8 - Beauregard and Folk to hold the
position.
The War Department has called on
Governor Harris for thirty-two more
regiments of Tennessee troops to serve
for the war. This State now has in the
field the following force s 59 regiments
of infantry, 1 regiment of cavatry, J1
battalions of cavalry, and 20 companies
of artillery—making in all about 67
regimen's.
Of these it is safely estimated by the
War Department that about 25,000-
say thirty regiments—will re-enlist. As
many more are wanted to make up
Tennessee's quota of 50,000.
Dispatches have been received at
Nashville from President Davis in
structing Gen. Johnston to hold the
city at every hazard, and informing
him that reinforcements will ba sent
him immediately.
Accordingly, our army, which was
retreating toward Murfreesboro, com
menced to recross the Cumberland
Monday night, and to matte a stand
nolth of tho city. Fort Zollicoffer,
three miles below—a strong position
recently erected—wilt also be occupied
and held, so as to prevent the approach
of the gunboats.
Dispatches were received last night
by Gov. Harris; from the War Depart
ment at Richmond, instructing him to
see that the Memphis and Charleston
railroad be immediately put in order
for tiie rapid transportation of heavy
bodies of troops.
St. Louts, Fob. 21-Ncarly all the Fort
Doneteon prisoners have arrived. The
officers are to be sent to Columbus.
No preparations nro made for tho
evacuation of Columbus. A General
and reinforcement from the South had
-arrived, and 14 stoamors aro at her
wharf.

Auousta, Feb. 21.—Lieut. Du Quer-
onrn, or the 14th Mississippi Regiment,

When the enemy was reported in

to 15.000 strong, embracing one or two

strong, and was re-inforcod with 30.00U

The Confederates were commanded
by Gens. Pillow, Buckner and Bubb
