????? HOSPITAL.This boepi.1. (in which 1» kept the sick aud
dies bled military prisoners,) was also provided witb sn
excellent dinner at 3 o'clock mSunday. V rongh the exertion· of
their etBcere,the ward» heing tastefully decorated with
ever¬green·, paper ot variane ooiori, Ac. About -HiQwere eeaud at
tbe tables, and everythingpasted off pleaaanily, much wit ana
humorbeing displayed in the meanwhile.Immediately attor the dinner
tbe patiente
were treated to an excellent sermon, wbien
must have had beneficial effect, as the gentln-menl ? surgeon In
charge, P. Glennan, U. «S. V ,reported tbat not one of the inmates
were inthe guard-house on the next morning.
XBOUV BOeriTAL.At this hospital the usual services were held
on (Sabbath.Rev. Ür. Imanaban delivering anexcellent discourse.
Yesterday the patient·,guards, Ac, were entertaiued with a fine
din¬ner prepared under tbe direction of the officers,and furnished
from the hospital Innd. About1* o'clock the patients assembled.that
is allthose able.numbering with the members ofthe V. R. O. on duty
there 610 and headed bytbe band, they proceeded to the dining
ball,where they weie seated under the directiou ofExecutive Steward
Hramhill. A few remarkswere made by Surgeon N. R. Mo.ely in
charge,in which he congratnlated.the company on theretnrn of
another Christmae, and stated thatwe had made a full year's
progress in puttingdown tbe rebellion, Sherman having rionemuch of
the work, and to-day while extendingtheir congratulations on the
return of theChristmas season, tbey could congratulatethemselves on
the capture ot Savannah.The dinner consisted of turkey, geese,
cbiek*
en, beet, mutton, vegetables, Ac, and wastopped off with fine
old fasbioned plum pud¬ding and pie. Those who were uuablt· to go
tothe table were provided for in the wards.The dining ball was
handsomely decorated
and while tbe patients were engaged in eating,the flue baud
performed a number of appro¬priate airs. The various wards were
fixed upin style.the ward masters having emulatedeach other in
tastefully adorning the wards,the officers having offered a premium
for thebest looking ward as to cleanliness, con¬venience, Ac. This
??Gß? induced the wardmasters to do their best, and the
consequencewas that every ward bore some semblance toa fairy bower.
During the morning three olthe officers appointed as judges visited
and in¬spected tbe wards, and united in deciding infavor of Ward
II, which was most.beautifullyand tastefully decorated.Subsequently
the officers, with a number of
guests, dined in tbe chapel, partaking of adinner exactly
similar to that partaken of bytbe patients; and aiter full justice
was doue, anumber of sentiments were offered and drank·and speeches
made in response to two excel¬lent ones by Ur. Walsh (who wae
officer of theday) who congratulated his fellow officers onthe hieb
reputation of tbe hospital, which wasnow spoken of in every city as
one of the best.At ',% o'clock a grand concert gotten up underthe
direction of Messrs. A. V. King (stage man¬ager) and J. ti. Perkins
(musical director)took place in the dining hall, where all
thepatriots who were well enough to be there andquite a number of
invited guests were in at¬tendance. The programme embraced
overtwenty pieces, amone which were a numberot comic and
sentimental songs, dances, solo«on various instrument»-, inducing
tne on atin dipper bandle.
LI-TOOLV nnsriTAL.Extensive preparations were made at this
hospital (of which Dr. J. C. McKeeis tbe head)for a proper
observance of the day, and every? »·. officers and patients, vied
with the otherin making tbe day as much like a holiday at.home as
possible. In the morning an exami¬nation of the colored school cum
posed mostlyof tbe children of the contraband laborers em¬ployed
about the hospital, and taught byMieses Hill and dates,) took place
in the près-enee of the parents and friends of tbe
scholars,numbering about too, and after Its conclusion,everything
having passed otf well, each schol¬ar received a Christmas gift of
a cornucopiawith candies, Ac Quite a number of whiteswere present,
among whom we noticed SenatorHurlan, Rev. Mr. Hntler, chaplain of
tbe hos¬pital, and Dr. Cohen, superintendent of coloredschools, all
ot whom made short addres.es, aswell as the Burgeon in charge, who
was accom¬panied by hie staff. Steward Johnson attendedto the
distribution of the presents here. Rev.Dr. Adams, of New York, aud
others of thelinrlsttan Oommlesion were also present. At
'-.. o'clock the grand affair of the day.theChristmas
dinner.came off*. The patients andattendants, numbering about
1,300, gathered inthe dining hall, win« h was tastefully
deco¬rated, and after the Divine blessing had beenimplored by Rev.
J G. Butler, the chaplain,ti.· y fell to and did full justice to
tbe turkey.,"?···'·-, chickens, pies, &«., which bad
beenhandsomely prepared. Tbe table was sup¬plied witb ale, and wae
set out under the di¬rection of Mr. Dudley, th« ODmrnissary
Stew¬ard, who performed bis part admirably.This room was decorated
with evergreen-*,
Mage, «v.. -, and the eight of thirteen hundredol our brav boys
feasting atone time was wellworth seeing. Among the motto, were
theullowing: »Onr -ñirgeon in charge, may heh· on te promoted, but
not to leave us." "Th«»Executive Officer, abould he he taken
away,may he speedily be promoted." "Liberty an 1I nion, on« and
