Savannah Daily Republican, Friday Morning. July 7. 1865 Poetry The Old Canoe Where the rocks are gray, and the shore is steep, And the waters below look dark and deep, Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride, Leans gloomily over the murky tide; Where the reeds and rushes are long and rank, And the weeds grow thick on the winding back; Where the shadow is heavy the whole day through, Lies at its moorings the old canoe. The useless paddles are idly dropped, Like a sea-bird's wings that this storm has lopped, And crossed on the railing, one o'er one, Like the folded hands when the work is done; While busily back and forth between, The spider stretches his silvery screen, And the solemn owl, with his dull "too-hoo," Settles down on the side of the old canoe. The stern half sunk in the slimy wave, Rots slowly away in its living grave, And the green moss creeps o'er its dull decay, Hiding its mouldering dust away, Like the hand that plants o'er the tomb a flower, Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower; While many a blossom of loveliest hue, Springs up o'er the stern of the old canoe. The currentless waters are dead and still-- But the light wind plays with the boat at will, And lazily in and out again It floats the length of the rusty chain, Like the weary march of the hands of time, That meet and part at the moontide chime, And the shore is kissed at each turn anew By the dripping bow of the old canoe. O, many a time, with a careless hand, I have pushed it away from the pebly strand; And paddled it down where the stream runs quick-- Where the whirls are wild and the eddies are thick-- And laughed as I leaned o'er the rocking side, And looked below in the broken tide, To see that the faces and boats were two That were mirrored back from the old canoe. But now, as I lean o'er the crumbling side, And look below in the sluggish tide, The face that I see there is graver grown, And the laugh that I hear has a soberer tone, And the hands that lent to the light skiff wings Have grown familiar with sterner things. But I love to think of the hours that flew As I rocked where the whirls their white spray threw; Ere the blossom waved, or the green grass grew O'er the mouldering stern of the old canoe.

General Orders, No. 5. I. The strictest discipline is required in the administration of a Military Hospital. It is a paramount duty of a Medical Officer of the Army to maintain the discipline of the soldier, during his residence in Hospital, at the highest point of efficient compatible with the nature and treatment of the disease or injury he is suffering from. The General Hospitals in this Department have hitherto been remarkable for their excellent discipline. The Medical Director regretted to find in his recent inspections the unmilitary neglect of regulations in regard to dress and general discipline; the careless and unsoldierly bearing of many of the convalescents and attendants; and either the entire absence of the customary compliments between the officers and men, or the slovenly manner in which they were paid and returned. Respect to superiors is not confined to obedience on duty, but must be extended to all occasions. It is always the duty of the inferior to accost or offer first the proper salutation, and of the superior to return such complimentary notice. Hereafter existing regulations in regard to discipline, proper compliments, and dress, must be rigidly enforced, and all infractions from discipline, or disobedience of orders, must be properly punished. The attention of all officers on duty in General Hospitals in this Department, is called to paragraphs 253, 254, 255, 256, and 257 Revised Regulations of the Army, 1863, and to General Orders, No. 157, Headquarters, Department of the South, series 1864. Whenever an officer enters a Ward the Ward-master must command attention, on which the patients, who are able to do so, will rise and stand in the position of attention until the officer has passed out. Whenever a patient, attendant, or guard meets an officer within the precincts of the Hospital, he will offer the customary salutation; if seated, and without particular occupation, he will rise on his approach, or if standing, he will turn towards the officer for the same purpose. The officer will acknowledge the salute in a respectful manner. At inspection each man's articles of clothing, which may be in the wards, will be neatly folded and laid on the foot of the bed. Boots and shoes, well brushed, will be placed on the floor at the foot of the bed. Nothing must be hidden under the bedstead. Every patient in Hospital, who is able, will wash his face and hands at least every morning, and his feet twice a week, and will take a general bath once a week. Those who are unable to leave their beds, should have their hands and faces washed by the nurses, and the surface of the body sponged often enough to maintain cleanliness. The attendants are especially enjoined to be cleanly in their persons, neat in their dress, and soldierly in their bearing. No attendant or patient in the U. S. A. General Hospital in this Department must leave the limits of the Hospital unless he is provided with a pass signed by the Medical Officer of the Day without having on his proper uniform, his coat buttoned up, clothing and shoes well brushed, and the number of his regiment and the letter of his company on his cap. Enlisted men and civilian nurses must not be permitted to wear hospital dressing-gowns or slippers outside the wards. II. The Hospital Steward charged with the administrative duties of a Military Hospital, is designated the Chief Steward. He may be selected by the Surgeon in charge from the stewards assigned to him, solely on account of merit and known capacity, and not by seniority of warrant. He is ex-officio, the ranking steward for the time being and must be obeyed and respected accordingly. He is entitled by his rank to obedience from all enlisted men in the Hospital, both patients, attendants, and civilian nurses, and is immediately responsible to the Surgeon in charge for the performance of his duties, and he holds his subordinates responsible for the proper performance of their duties. As an enlisted man he owes respect and prompt obedience to all orders to his military superiors. He should always wear his undress uniform in the Hospital. On musters and inspections he must be in full dress, with side arms. The chief steward must pay two visits daily to every part of the hospital, viz: at nine o'clock, A. M., and at evening, between tatoo and taps. At these regular visits, he will note the condition, discipline, cleanliness, ventilation, warming, and lighting of the wards, kitchens, mess-halls, bath-rooms, and latrines, and he will report to the surgeon in charge all irregularities, abuses, infractions of discipline, or neglect of duty that may come under his notice, necessity of repairs, or other wants. He will see that the ration returns are made out, the rations received, properly kept, and economically issued and the prescribed daily diet table observed. He will be responsible for the efficient administration of the clerical duties of the hospital. III. A Meteorological Register (Form 11, Revised Medical Regulations 1863), must be kept daily in every General and Post Hospital in this Department, and transmitted monthly to the Surgeon General's Officer by the Surgeon in charge. This order will be placed in a conspicuous place in the office of the Hospital, and each ward, and paragraph I, will be read by the Executive Officer of each General Hospital to the convalescents in line at each Sunday Inspection. OFFICE OF THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR, Department of the South. Hilton Head, S. C., March 21, 1865. Circular Letter. The following "Circular" is republished for the information of medical officers in this Department: Circular No. 1. MEREDITH CLYMER, Medical Director Dep't of the South.

Whenever practicable, Regimental Hospitals must be at once discontinued, and the patients sent to Post or General Hospitals. It is desirable that all cases that can be treated in the Post Hospitals should be sent there, thereby facilitating the more speedy return of men to duty.

WE MEAN THE NEW YORK WEEKLY, NOW READY, CONTAINING THE Charming, Exciting, Startling, Thrilling ROMANCES THE FIRST, ENTITLED OWEN, THE CONVICT; OR, The Heart's Devotion. IN PERHAPS THE GREATEST ROMANCE OF MODERN TIMES, not excepting the most popular of Dumas' works. It is the story of a youth pushed into crime by the forces of circumstances, and of a pure devoted, whole-souled woman, who refused to believe in his guilt, and nobly stood by him till the last. While it has all the touching pathos of the 'Ticket-of-leave Man,' It at the same time is brim-full of the most extraordinary and soul-stirring adventures by land and sea. The hero gets out of one difficulty into another with a rapidity which is wonderful, and which shows the most unexampled ingenuity on the part of the highly gifted author, who holds his readers as if spell-bound from the opening to the close. Old romancers who have read the manuscript-men who have been familiar with story-reading and story-writing throughout their lives, have been so entranced with this truly wonderful story that they have found it impossible to lay it down till they had read to the very last line. THE NEXT STORY IS ENTITLED THE CUBAN HEIRESS: OR, Old Hepsibah's Secret. This is from the pen of our highly gifted contributor, Mrs. Mary Kyle Dallas, and is, beyond question, the finest thig that she has thus far written. It is full of love and mystery, and possesses a charm which cannot fail to fascinate all who may read it. OUR TERMS. The N.Y. WEEKLY is sold by all News Agents in the U.S. The price is Six Cents, but where Agents have to pay extra freight a higher price is charged.-When there is a News Agent in the town, we desire our friends to get the N.Y.
