Reprehensible.

--We regret to learn from a gentleman who arrived by a train last evening, that some of the proprietors of the tobacco factories in Danville have evinced a disposition to refuse their buildings to the Government for occupation as hospitals for our sick and wounded soldiers. This is most reprehensible, and we are proud to observe that this symptom of indifference is confined to few. It is the duty of every patriot, in these pressing times, when the enemy are battering at every door of our vast empire, to give his all for the benefit of the land, and more especially for the alleviation of the sufferings of those who have fought and bled in our sacred cause. Like the Roman monarch, we will say, ‘"He who will not stand by his country now, deserves no country."’
