■ Yoflm Truly,

Experience of an Army Surgeon.
“Sir, l am a doomed man ! my spirit
is broken 1 A fresh cluster ol gray
hairs may be seen budding upon my
tsmplo every morning, and in nty
heart there is a great cavity rosounding
with a cesaless echo of sadness i Hope
is gone ! Ambition is dead ! There is
no note from the trump ot farno that
ran awaken a responsive vibration %i
my soul! I pick up the ohain Jof mv
lifo and run back over each successive
link lit! I come to l||e cradle, and then
1 pursue it back again till I conto to
tho dark, unlucky day in which I con"
sented to.becomo a. Doctor, and from
tlmi day to this every purposo ol my
iilo hits miscarried, every hope has fa
ded, and every affection of my heart
bus withered ! Lifo has been a pain
full abortion'. Since then, everything
lias gono wrong with mo ! Onco I had
hope and ambition ? Onco I could
confide 1 I could love, with a groat
fond love! It is not so now ! All that
over loved niahavc changed, now they
aro either indifferent or halo mo!—
Since 1 became tv Doctor but ono wo
man has over loved mo—she is dead 1
Many others said they loved me! It
may have been so, but they do not love
mo now ? Since then my friends too
have all died or forsaken mo ! Sinco
1 beo.amo a Doctor, envy or jealousy, or
malice, or tho Dovil liavo killed or
changed all my friends! If, thoreforo
1 wore to undortnko to writo my expe
rience of lifo, since tho learned faculty
of the Medical Collogo of made
mo a Doctor of Medicine, 1 should sum it
all up in theso* words, ambition is a
dream, friendship is but a mfune, and
as for love,
“Wemun, this record will forever stand,
Thy firmest promises are traced in
sand.”
I Itavcofton asked, why is this uni
versal, instinctive distrust and hatred
of Doctors? 1 know of but one natu
ral and phiccrophical solution to the
question, and that is the Tact that
all animals, botli brute and rational,
have ail iustiuclivc dread of whatever
produces death. If a man assassinates
your brother, or murdors your wife, or
poisons your child, you invoke the aid
ef the law and tho courts, and have
him hung or sent to tho penitentiary.
But a Doctor may do all theso things
and tho law will compel you to pay
him a big bill, for overy member of
your family lio may kill, llcnco man
kind lmto Doctors.
But, sir, this is not tho point.
When I consented to become a Doc
tor, 1 consented to my ruin. Yet do
not be uneasy, my good friend, I shall
not commit suicide—I am no French
man. I have no appetite for such in
dulgences. rerhaps if I was condemn
ed to a lifo of solitary imprisonment,
or to death by the gallows, 1 might
then consent to take my execution
into my own hands, and by tho gentle
influences of opium dispatch my spirit
to the land of dreamless slumber. But
sir, I have r.o desire to bo furloughed
to that shoreless realm of solitary re
pose. I desiro to continue in life’s war
fare until death shall give mo a regular
discharge from the service. But, sir,
what troubles me is this, that in a mad
insane hour, not contented with boing
a Doctor, I consented to be an "Army
Surgeon.” Ol folly of follies 1 Woe
is me sinco that day ! Job cursed tho
day ol his birth, so 1 curse the day
that, made mo Surgeon, arid witli tho
weeping old ‘‘man of Uz,” I would say
“let that day bo darkness,” let not
liod regard it from abovo, neither let
the light shine npon it. Let dark nets
and the shadow of death slain it. Let
a cloud dwell upon it. Let blackness
terrify it. Lo ! let that night bo solita
ry. Let no star shine upon it and no
joyful voice come therein.”
When this great, iniquitous, whole
sale bloodsheddiiig begun, I thought I
Saw a great, ascending, luminous high,
way, opening up before me, and lead
ing me right up to the accomplishment
of my highest hopes of fame and ambi
tion. I did not b3liovc an ambitious
purpose to win glory and honor jucom-
jutablq with true patriotism, and thero-
turs I joined-tho aiitny. I raised a reg
iment and went to war. But, sir, in
stead of taking the sword 1 took a scal
pel and a box ot pills, instead. of taking
a military position, which I could have
clone, 1 took tlie post of Surgeon and
went to war, expecting to win a glori
ous name by calomel and ipecac. And
right here, clcr.r sir, let me say, I acted
the fool.
Many a gallant boy who entered the
service when 1 did, us lieutenant or
captain, lies already won his way
through-the blood of battle fields to the
this war is over, if ever a man says
“puke or purge” to me, ho will do it at
the risk of his lifo. I shall burn my

to mo in due farm for letiors of ndmin-
; istrntlon with the will annexed, on the
tew of the Chesapeake, nnd tho sweet
accents of woman’s lips pronounce tho
story of his heroic deeds uround every
hearthstone, from tho gorgeous fastnes
ses of tlio Allnghunics to the rooky ...... ,,, ,, ,
um parts ol the western mountains, to lie called Doctor no more, but muter, ' Cl . ns0 d to file their objections in my office
while history is recording his name . for I had rather crack my
upon tlie golden arches of tho rising ; and broak my back “cleaning stables,
temple of freedom, and the muses Bet' and otlior small institutions than be
ting around her sacred shrine embalm
his name in all our national songs.—
And, sir, where am I ? Ilight where
I started—Surgerin, nothing but p'ain
simplo Surgeon, and no hope of ever
being anything else. Anil liavo I gain
ed nothing? ^Nothing, but tho curses
and hatred of ten thousand people
whom I never saw or heard of.
Sir, lot me give you an item of my
daily life as an army Surgeon. Sur
geon’s call is at six o’clook a. m. Too
soon for any decent man to be |out of
bed. But tho drum boats nnd 1 shuffle
out to tho front of my tout, slip shod
and in my shirt tail, (you won’t read
this lettor to your wife.)’ The first man
that presents hitnsolf for examination
is a great,'gkflTnt, gattngllng, flabsided
follow, with no patriotism in his heart,
and no 6toinach for fighting tho batlloi
of liis country. With groans nr.d
grimaces this bastard son of "Mars
cries out “Dock, I is most dead with
tho liver complaint in my knees and
all my joints. I know 1 can’t stand
it much longer, I’ll dio of 1 slay hero.
I jist want you to disclmrgo me and
send mo home to die nloug with the
Old ’Oman and the. childrens.” When
lie has thus delivered himself, I rub tho
cob-webs and morning vapors out of
my eyes, and say: “poke out your ton
gue, sir.” I find nothing tho matter
except that he lias no appetite for fight
ing. I order him to report for duty.—
Forthwith lie writes homo that he is
dying and tlie Doctor won't dbcliargo
him. Thon, sir, don’t I catch it from
tho Old ’Oman and all the kinfolks at
homo.
Next comes No. 2, This follow is
wonsle-eyed, hornet-looking and as
sharp as a.low. • Ho lias taken a fancy
to go homo on sick furlough, nnd lias
already written to his friends that ho
is coining, and delivers himself tints :
“Doctor, t has tho nurality in all my
abdominals, and tho yellor jundors is
workin on my stomach and my innards
generally, and 1 think I’d better try to
get homo, wlinr Betsy and the gals can
patch mo up with yarb teas and sicli
liko, for that doctor stuff what tlmt
Young Doctor has been giving mo has
upset my lights and gone agin my liv
er.”
I issuo my command tliU6: "Poke
out tongue, sir.” The order is obeyed,
and I find ho is only laboring under a
slight attack of hotno-sickness, nnd
decline to givo a certificate of disnbili
ty for furlough. So No. 2 goes off curs
ing nnd gnashing his tooth, and, in
.Addition to writing homo, lie tolls his
story to every man in the regiment,
and the result of this simplo discharge
of duty is 500 bitter enemies for tho
Doctor, among the friends at home-
and at least 250 in the regiment; all of
whom had previously been liis best
friends.
Next, sir, wo got into it battle and
have 500 men wounded. I proeoed to
examine each of tho 500 wounded men,
nnd after issuing tho cttscomnry order,
“poke out your longue, sir.” 1 find
that 50 out of the 500 have to liavo a
log or an arm amputated, and out of
that 50 at least 25 die. Immediately
some friend of enolt writes to tho home
folks that tho Doctor did not cut oil'
tho leg soon enough or that ho cut it
off too soon, or that ho took it off too
low down or loo high up ; and hero,
sir, aro tho mothers nnd the fathers and
tho friends of 25 young men charging
tho Doctor with wlinl ought properly
to bo put lo tho credit of Yankee bul
lets. And ah '. sir, how unvelonting i»
that mother towards him whoso neglect
or ignorance she supposes to have
Caused the dentil of liov most beloved
son !
Now, sir, this is my daily experience
as an Army Surgeon, and instead of
winning honor, 1 have won tlie hatred
of thousands of men and women whom
I never saw or hoard of, and hundreds
whom I had known and loved as my
best friends.
Sick, weary and disgusted with the
life of a Surgeon in the field service, 1
petitioned to be transferred to the Hos
pital Service, hoping that a ‘1 local habi
tation” and the society of women and
cliildron might slied a baltny. fragrance
over my wounded spirit. My petition
was granted. I was assigned to a hos
pital, but, sir, it was to a Small Pox, Pest
Ilospitall And now, sir, every woman
nnd child and old man and negro that
I meet cries out: “Thera goes the Pest
House Doctor,” nnd all shun mo as if
1 was that aucient old gentleman who
is said to live in a very warm climate,
and who makes his fires out of Sulphnr
and other very combustible materials.
Sir, it is too much ! 1 can't stand it?
If 1 was a Frenchman I’d hang myself.
But 1 «m no Frenchman. What then
rank of colonel or'gencral. and, to-day, shull 1 do ? If it were not for a ' sense
iris just fame is heralded By every press of duty and a slight fear of tho conscript
from tho Bay of Galveston to the wa. I’d resign anil go home. Eut, sir, when

Baiikn’s Method or Saving Seed Corn.
—Tho most successful anti interesting
demoiistntions ol tho practicability of
improving Iiuliun.Corn, is that adopted
by Thomas liatlen, of Maryland, who
carefully selecting the host seed in his
field for a long series of years, having
special reference to those stalks which
produced tho most oars, ultimately oh
tainod a variety which yields 4, 5, 0,
and even us high as 8 and 10 cars to
the stalk.
Tho plan lie adopted was this : when
tlio corn ivus husked, he made a ro-
seluctiou, taking only that which was
perfectly sound and fully ripe. In tho
spring, before shell.ng the corn, he
examined it uguin, throwing out any
that had assumed a bad appearance
during the winter. In shelling tlie
corn, li6 throw aside tho grain at botli
large and small onds. lio has carefully
followed this mode of selecting seed
corn, for twenty-five or thirty years,
and still continues to doso.
B&T Professor Khrenberg, of Berlin,
lias laid before tlie Academy of Sciences
of that city a hi iuf statement concern
ing tlie fall of what is popularly do-
scribed us “blood rain,” during a storm
at Lyons, in March last, showing that
it is to be regarded as another instance
ol tho fall of “tmdowind .dust,” by
which term the red sand from the in
terior oi’Aii'icu is identified. This sand
being carried along by currents til a
high elevation, is caught at times in the
conflict of elements, and failing with
the rain drops, lias given rise to tho
popular error abovo noticed. Forty-
three organic forms have been discov
ered in this rod stuid, which leave no
room to doubt of its origin, and tlie
whole phenomenon fs a remarkable
instance of the tvuy in which modern
science works by tracing effects to' their
cutises. •

8@y-An illustration of Yankuo cour
age ami cunning was afforded by a
prisoner's reply, during tho baltle of
FroilencUsburg, to tlie question, “why
the Yankees always throw down their
gusis when they ran or retreated, there
by losing their only weapon of defence?” I
lie said, it lio was caught, it made no
difl'erenee, and il’lie escaped without
his gun, lie was sent to the rear, arid
would have lo fight no more that day.
Tito Confederate Government lias
greater reaourees than any Government
in tho world, says tho "Richmond Dis
patch. Tho war in a greut degree pro
vents them iioin being available now.
But if tlie public finances can bo so*
managed as to check tho depreciation
of tho currency now going on, tho pub^
lio ci'cdit.will immediately after the
war be equal to that of any country in
the world. Tlie grand staples of the
country have partially been omployed
by tho Government in its foreign opnra-
tions, and could sente plan bo maturod
for using them to a greater oxtont,
much assistants would be given lo
oilier measures for enhancing tlie value
of the Government paper. Govern
ments aro genorally unfortunate specu
lators, and speculation is outside of tho
general duties and powers of Admin
istration. Yot circumstance l as tho
country is, thoro is every excuse that a
Government could havofor adventuring
upon a trade which must bring certain
results.
