AT the first line ol rllle-pits, In the grnml
advance nf our columns, the Colonel of the
Forty-firm Ohio llegiment fell, terribly
woundeil. A Oencriil mile up in he fell,
I'Sulnliiiltis, " I 1ioh? you mo not Imdly

A prominent and most useful feature of
the Commission in Its work among the sol
dicrs Is Its Hospital Directory, which was
originated In a humane desire lo supply a
record of the Inmates of army hospital,
whether Incoming such by dhcoso or from
wounds recehid In battle, In ord'r in rtt
tho Inquiries of the friend of Iho tiMitr
una bio to obtain any knowledge of t!:e
name or tho locality of his hospital. The
benifit, however, conferred by the Directo
ry has not btm merely lo friend of Ihe
soldier, but also to the toldier hlinsell, be
coming, us It has, a medium of coimnnnlca
Uon for wives and mothers searching for
husband and son3; a channel through
which has flowed messages of love, and
cheer, and hope, moro grateful to the fe
vcred brain and agony of wounds than the
tenderest core cf surgeons and nurse. The
total number of names on record In this
Directory on the 1st of December lost was
M3.-I37 j tho total number of loqulries
12,881 ; and tho number of successful an
swers rendered 9.203,or sevenly two per rent
opon tho number received. In theso nine
thousand two hundred and three answers
lies n history which only the Day of Final
A&ifze can reveal. Hat the gratitude with
which their receipt Is acknowledged Is not
hidden nor concvulnl. Mother wrjto of
' their undying grntitode " for the simple
announcement that ttcir boys pro doing
well In hospital j others " invoke the bless-
tabling will serve our purpne here.
A poor wi'iuun from Wisconsin, whose
hnMinnd Bnd son weip.tu the ranks, learn
lug that llie hitter was tfnhndul at Imk
out, made her way lo Ioo!svillc. whence
die win sent by the Commission nunits lo

it was nnwenil that hi r nt was severely

last on Sunday n'ghl Iho words so prayid
mid walled lur came. It wns this onlv:

ngooy of grief settletl upon tho mother's
heart, and fur hour her sulleriugh seemed

currying her great sorrow with lur, she-
went away j but the next morning she ic-

nml suld. pointing tn the llig over tlie door,
with leurs in her ejit, "7J.iii.g itJauUij

and the Commission dt frayed her r.xpenses
home. Think you the memory of lis work
will not be forever side by side In her
wounded heart wllh recollections of her
boy shiln In the battle's front!
One day a chun, stout-faced fanner from
Dun.rrs. Mnssuchusetis, apirfari-d at tie
Nashville office, seeking Information eifhls

A few day arierwaid he relurnul, carry

sword uml huversuck wcro his sons.und Ihe
suns corpse was In Ihe quiet box. It had
been recovered through the agency of the
Commission Directory ; but for that there
ncvir would lime been In a Duuvrr church
yard the headstone which lolls now lo the
days as they go the story of that farmer's
"ncriflce In the country's, cause.
Another Illustration of the vnluc of this
Dire-dory Is furnlnhed by the following In
cident. On the 12ib of November the
following Inquiry from n northern oily was
received ot the Nashville office : ' Sanitary

was ut once made ut the Nashville hospi
tal, and this answer promptly returned;
' Henry, Ford. Co. F, Thlriyflfth Onto, Is
alive slightly better j soys, Tell father to
come as soon as he can." Thus father and
son wcie brought together, as they proba
bly would not have been but for this Di
rectory. Some of the scenes witnessed at the offices
of iiq Directoiy at Washington and other
central point h are touching n thccclrrinc.
Thus, bl he Washington office 1 A fu,',fr

At Iho liuisrillc effiec scenes equally

ever since the advance or Hom cram from

Northern Ohio entered ihe e ffiiv. He had

there by molhcis and sletcrs at home;
inch hud sent some little comfort. He wo
all animation mid hope, poesied of plini
unt unllclutlons of a speeily meeting with
his boy, Alus fur his hlyh liojws! thu
record said, " D!td" that very morning.
It was a terrible slunk, but It was tietler
Ihan to grope on In tk datk. ncter know
log how, or when, or when the wm of hie
love had been calhd away. He had found
his boy ; It was a consolation lo look Into
his furu even though ihe dialh dews wero
upon il. So slowly and sadly ihe old man
wentnwny, a rhik going with him nml
procuring a ceffln fur the ileur remains,
with which that sumo day he sturteil for'
his Ohio home In which, heiire forth, on
voice would be missed, om step would ney
ermore be leunl on ihe threshold.
A sprightly young wife nppearrd ono

Is more certain." "Yoi wnu'd have ie

Inquired again, lis eye resting pn on open

The woman flushed, as If ommyed. " You

With one look to be sure that iho was not
