They are situated in one of the mo it "bil lions” plaees ox ihe Continent. It ie not only low end flat itaelf, but ie surrounded with x low, flat, and densely wooded oountry, and has a eun of sufficient warmth to engender any amount of malaria from (he swamps, stagnant itreams and deeaying vegetable mat ter. Aa the hot days of June begin to taint Ihe air wi.h the foul miasma that ie generated in the surrounding oountry, we may consider it fortunate if disease does not perform lbs work of many foe* ” Tke total number of hospital oases has been 727. Of these lbs German levies—conceded by the Times to be the largest propotion of troops at Cairo—furnished 146, the Irish 92, and tbs American born 624; whiob, it is con cluded, would seem to demonstrate " that the American boys are unequal to the task of com' peting in the hardships of camp life with their hardy Teutonic brethren.”—Memphis Appeal. Mate* “ Dead for a ducat.** The rat bee been for many years a great favorite with the naturalists. His habits of life, bis acuteness, his selfishness, his intelli gence in avoiding danger, and in burning for grub under difficulties, have been frequently and eloquently dila ed upon by men of genius like Goldsmith and Curier. There ere un doubtedly very many animals far more attrac tive in their appearance, and far nobler in their nature than rats, but the instinct of self pre servation is more remarkably developed in the rat than in any other animal. He smelleth danger afar off, and avoideth it accordingly. He is n better judge of the tea*worthinete of a vessel than the most experienced agent of Lloyd, and he never risks a long voyage in a ship whose lirabers^are rotten, however fair an exterior of the painter’s brush may have given it. Before a house totters to its foil, whilst it yet looks strong and firm, the rat, who has explored i s foundations, gnawed its rafters, and tested the strength of its sills, flies from It, to one more secure. He always takes care of himself, and when he has done that he cares nothing for kith or kin, for the intense selfishness of the rat is an aimable weakness of that unbiquitons animal. If fated ibipe aod*tottering houses are de tested by rets, their love for fat pantries and well filled cribs ia proverbial. The political rat is an animal almost as fa mous as the rat of Goldsmith and Curler.— All nation! nnd all agea have produced re markable speoimeoa of this animal. They are as oommon m Republics as Monarchies, lo Monarchies, they originated the cry of "the King is dead, long live the King;” because the political rat, unlike the quadruped animal, professes liking to dead King*. In Repub lic#, the political rat swims invariably with the popular current. He flies with squeaks of terror from n foiling party, readily deserts old friends end^neigbbors, and forgets io a mo* ment all the associations nnd pleaaant remin iscences of the party whose larders have been emptied by his greediness. The most noted political rats of other coun tries have been olerieal rate, and rats in search of eivil appointments. The oelebrated vicar of Bray, and a late prime Minister of Eng land, were lbs most noted representatives of the claeeee to wlich we have been^alludiog. History, we believe, furnishes no ineiaxc* of which we are advised of a nation putting Ue politieel rate in command ef ha armies nnd navies. Indeed, with the exception of the siege laid to the palace of a Bishop of Rheims by an nrmy of rate, anlmela of that character have never been famous in the annals of war. We can recollect no iuetanoe of political rats haviog beea made generals, colonels, aid- de camps, captains end lieutenants. The chapter of history which records the heroic deeds of this olase ef politicians is yet to he written. How a 8tate, during a long and ter- hle war, is to thrive with its faithful patriots in the ranks, end he political rets on horse back, remains is be seen. The modern polit ical rat has, it seems, a weakness for military commissions. He believes that x converted political rat deserves to be exalted ovor the heads of those who did not rat it et tbs eleventh hour. Fidelity to principle merits only a flint lock musket, with a smooth bore, plain, ooarse food, a heavy koapsaok, a light blanket, x single ration per day, aad a p«ir of koavy hrogaae. The original enemy to Submission must not stand upon the order of his fighting, but the political rat of reflnod tastes end deli cate stomach meat be tenderly provided for. If political rats art net rewarded for their no ble aad heroie exhibitiena of thooe instincts of solf-preservation whioh make them fly from tottering parties te strong and anbetantial once, there is great danger of their not rat ting R at all. Kata most, therefore, be en couraged, they most ho patted an the back, they must bo span letted aod well paid.
