Detailing conscripts for hospital service.

The following letter from Hon. J. A. Campbell Assistant Secretary of War, to the Hon. G. W. Jones, of Tennessee, will prove of interest to persons whom it affects. The letter is dated Richmond, August 27:

‘ Your letter relative to persons who were upon examination, found to be unfit for field service, but were, under a misconstruction of the law, ordered to report for hospital duty, and referring to the case of R. C. Foster has been received and referred to Gen Bragg with the following endorsement:

’ "The detailing of men examined as conscripts and found to be unfit for field duty, for hospital service, is in opposition to the Act of October 11, 1862, (exemption,) and instructions in general order No. 82.

"Under such circumstances a discharge will be made."
