Nurses wanted.

--A paragraph appeared some days since, stating that no more nurses were wanted. In an appeal urging the necessity of more nurses, this statement is credited to the Dispatch. It was telegraphed from this city to the South. We have before us a Southern paper which says: ‘"We are in formed that Gov. Moore has received a dispatch from Richmond, stating that no more nurses are required there to take care of the sick and wounded."’ The statement, therefore, did not originate with the Dispatch.

We learn that nurses are wanted, and hope that measures may be taken to organize a system for the business of nursing in the different divisions of our army. The present and ensuing months will be sickly, we fear, especially in the peninsula below Yorktown; and the philanthropic and patriotic should do all they can to mitigate the sufferings of our brave soldiers.
