The Yellow Fever a«d thi* ViuriabCd Tiuctura of
Iron.
The recent death of L r. Wildman of Savannah,
ha** sfiven ooiy a tran»letit celebriiy to the propoeud
new remedy /or Yellow i'evor, iu the use of tho
ilariated Tmoture of Iro- . lie was the flrnt to
intr* duce it into proctic9, and appears to have
employed it in many Hi» inis
i-i'.ocd conlidonce in it hi.® to rely upon it
in !iif» own 'l/'rstni'int, but it proved
Such examples of professional enthnsiaam aro no*
ancommon, both in ancient and modern times
Paracelane died with u hotdnot hia immortal elixir
la hi* bands. In the adraUft*!Vatiozi mdri-
Lted tfnettue of iron, L»r. Wildman recommend'd
that it should be always given before tbe vomits
occurred, and he believed th*t it medicalod tho
blood, aud prevented the occurrence ol that fata!
symptom. The vomit is one of the usual manifes
tations of the «c*ye in ha severer forma, and
arises from the t - nsfnaiou of blood into the
t*t'<ma. h, and its myoporation with tho morbid
acid%ecretion* of tnat orvan. It is one of tho es
facta of an obscure and deeply seated csoae; for,
occult aa the real nature and origin of the disease
is, yet tbe most intelligent physicians regard it as
a lesson of the nervous system. It is tho very scat
of vitality which is diseased, er that pari of the
organization which dominate* over tLe functional
system. The less the latter is distributed, the but
ter, for th * functional re actions upon tho nerves
and cerebral forces are always injurious. Medical
remedies, therefore, can only act indirectly, and it
would be reasoning upon false premises to infur
that any of them can bo exalted into the charset .r
of . peciflca. The most skilful phyaicians in Njw
Orleans reljr upon the mild and expectant tuat
meet, in widen as little disturbance as possible i*
communicated to the nervous lesion. Assuming
the guise of the orumrry diseases of tho climato,
while it tndepcodt:!.’ types of its own,
no malady is more insi-uioue than the yellow favor,
the chances of leoovory depending mainly upon
tho constitution and temp r*me:it of tho patient.
Tho lymphatic and sanguineous temperaments arc
the worst, and broad chested men stand id more
danger than those whoso frames are more slender.
And when supervening upon chronic affedious, it
either eradicates them, or brings an more speedily
a fatal result. It is the deadly foe of the white
man, but almost harmless to tbe colored racea;
aud the reason of this is to bo sought for, not so
much in the color or texture of tbs sain, ua m the
greater delicacy and activity ol ilio nervous system
in the Caucasian race.
Five different varietiea of yellow fever may be
eaeily enumeruted, viz: the intormittent, reaiit
tewt, continued, and oongeetive, aud wbut may
woll be called the fmdroyant , adopting tho title
which tho French have appropriately given totliat
form of cholera which destroy* life with the cer
tainty and suddenness of a thunderbolt.
la the twu first raontion'id milder form?, tho
remedies usually relied upon act in a kindly man
ner, and give rise to those delusive speculations
which exult in the prospect of having discovered
positive specifics or cures; but the more aggrava
ted symptoms of the severer form of the disease,
accompanied with a typhoid condition, convul
sions, and delirium, soon dispel these delusions,
especially as tho fevor rrpidly runs its course.
ll was observable in the groat epidemic of 1858
at New Orleans, that the use of quinine was inad
missible ; and much more so, in a violent epidem
ic, would be a mineral tonic, like the muriated
tincture of iron.
The yellow lever in this country is an autumnal
disease. It runs its epidemical cycle iu about nine
weeks, and terminates of itself within the tropics,
while beyond thorn it ia cot completely arrested
until frost.
lho meteorological condition most favorable to
its generation, is a long spell of hot weather ter
minated by lrequcnt and copious she were, which
fall during the day, but seldom or never at night.
Daring such weather Ul6 system becomes greatly
relaxed, and is suddenly exposed to groat alterna
tions of heat and cold. But in what manner these
vicissitudes give rise to consequences ao dreadful,
and to what extent othor natural causes arc invol
ved, especially electricity, or what Mr Moriam
calls, “the lightning cf tho thunder,” in producing
the tlindblc scovrgfv* of yellow fover or ch-tor*,-
haa not as yot boon defined by tho light of science.
Uia possible that some ourative agent may be
discovered in process of time; but it will bo very
different from the muriated tineturo ot iron. Long
before its advent, hovrtvar, many noble and en
thus lactic men, like Dr. Wildman, will f*di victims
to their professional ardor and mistaken zoed. Un
til that period arrives, it will always ho hazardous
for most mou to confront this pestilence, and the
safest way to avoii it Will be by taking Mte under
ground railroad. ACTION.

The e&ine paper published the olflcml report cf
thcc.iooution of Count Bonlbon, who
wan sontenced to bo shot on the 12th inst., at a'x
o’clock A. M. Ho la atatoi to have met his death
with prsat intrepidity. He refused to kneel, but
wys shot standing, in compliance with his eernost
request. Tho as me correspondent Matos, that bo
would not have been defeated aud tsken, but that
the kindness evinced by General Yanas, t 'curds
tbo French so’diois atGnayr.mas,had eLcited their
sympathy tod attachment, so m..ch &o thatßaous

lowers, found himself surrounded by reluctant
oombatauts. Twice they refused Vo bs led to bnt
tl**, and when a» length their oonsont was extort
ed, they fought without enthusiasm or ardor.—
Such ia tho true reason for tho disastrous result of
the expedition. When in the midst of the en
gagement, Yansz rushed into the TneUc, to arouse
the &al of his soldiers, & unanimous cry of “spare
the Genera!” arose trom tho ranks of tho French.
But for this universal sentiment, Yanes would
have fallen, riddled with bullets. Kaoussot bo
havod like a hero. Before surrendering, he fought
dosf ariuely, seeking death in every direction, but
a mystorious providence spared him for a more
ignominious fate. Perceiving that his men were
giving way, he rushed alone upon tho artillery
near Die barraoks, wbioh was belching forth do
si ruction. Two Mexicans throw thcmsclvo- upon
him. cue attempted to spear him but was snot
dead by a pistol in tin. bauds ot Bonlbon. The
other endeavored to eci*o him. but tho gallant
Frenchman clove his antagonist’s Lead wiihasa
bre cut, and stretched him lifeleea. Bat all this
was of no avail, he was Anally prisoner, and
executed aa stated above.
J xdos Brno noon’s Texipxkance Views. —Judge
Bronson, the Gubernatorial candidate of the New
York Hard--, has written a letter to Mr. Dciavan,
in whioh ho thus defines Lis poeit«cn on the liquor
question: “I have never doubted the power of
Inc Legislature to forbid tho sale of intcsicating
liquors as a beverage; rnd,so far as it woo b.l tileot
me personally, 1 am willing that the trbthj iu ali
i«s forms should be wholly prohibited. But cau
dor requiros me to say that 1 am not yet convinced
that a total prohibition would be so likely to pro
duce good results as i*n effort cf a more moderate
character. Extreme measures seldom accomplish
the end for which they arc designed. It takes
time to bring about any great reformation in toe
moral* or habits ot a people, and any eriempt to
do it in a day will bo. likely to fad. Oar Heavenly
Father woiks by slow process both in tho moral
and tne material worla, and we shall act most
wisely when vre act like him. Most of the mischief
which we cow witness may be traced to piaces
exclusively devoted to dram-drinking. It is there
that boon companions meet, drink and fight, and
then go homo maddened with poisonous com
pounds to ii.litct fresh evils upon their already
.sufT-.rtng lami'ies. Men seldom get drunk in tneir
own house. The influence* with which they are
surrounded when at home, constitute a powerful
check against excess, and one whioh iB not felt in
the revels of a dram-shop. It each places were
shut up, and stringent regulations were made
for the governmeut of those who aell intoxicating
drinks, and in addition to this, drunkenness, the
dragging of liquors, and the sale of them to
druukarcU, were all punished as public offences,
much would be accomplished in tho way ot cor
recting existing evils. By adopting such inca- uros
as tfce-e, the friends of temperance will be able *c
carry public sentiment rioug with them; —but with
the extreme remedy of prenibition, they may find
themselves boatieg against a current too strong to
be resisted. There l* a;ways danger that a step
ixkec too far in advance, will prove' a retrograde
movement.
The New York Post contradicts the atery which

Early in the rooming a division of tho Guards,
about eight regiments of different arms, formed a
square in the gre t i’iazi, (square.) where a tent
was etooted and a solemn mass wan celebrated, as
sisted by all tho authorities. Divine service being
finished, tho troops marched out to be reviowod
by 11. S. H., who distributed several premiums to
tho veterans of Tampico. Gen. Sierra y Ru*a do
iivered r.n oration rc-t.rriug to the motives of this
day’s festivities. After this ceremony was finisk
od the troops entered the city and returned to
tfccir quarters. The illumination prepared for the
evening could not take place in consequence of a
houvv fall of rain in the afternoon, which inunda

Tbe steamship Gnarios Morgan, Capt. Lawless,
due ou Tuesday last, arrived yesterday morning
from Gaiveston, which port she left cn tne 22d.
Much anxiety had been felt for the safety of the
Char lea Morgan, which is now happily dissipated.
She camo in safe and sound, aud appears able
enough to encounter and live through many as
severe gales ns she experienced on her last triu.—
Bbe arrived at Galveston on the 10th from Port
Lavaca, having been at sea during the recent gale
and weathered it finely.
Tho steamship Nautilus, Capt. Auld, hence, ar
ri.tv at Galveston on tho 16th, and loft the same
day for Brttzos Santiago.
The steamship Louisiana, Captain Talbot, from
th;s pert, arrived at Galveston os tho afternoon of
tho 20th, after a boisterous passage.
Tho Galveston papers furnish recounts of a threo
days heavy gale ou the coast. V/e have no ac
counts from any of the other ports.
At Galveston the wind commer/ ? J blowing pret
ty strong from tho northeast, on th© 15th mat.and
con iu wed from tuo same quartet Uii tho 17th, when
it increased to a gale r.nd blew rvb great violence
from the ouat and southeatt. Torirnts cf rain foil
during tho night. The gate costxaced on the 18th
imd 19:h. On the 18th the tide took a clear sweep
across the island. Tho merchants on tho blrand,
and up far as Market-street, suiiored muoh loss
from the damaging of their goods by the water.
The News, ol* tho 19tn,says:
Tho water from tho bay had come up, when at
its Kghsst, to tbe Tremont House, so tha light
si ff, were padd ed freely from that point to tho
Btrand, aud iu thostreeis parallel with thoritrand.
T ic water contiuued to fall till 10 or li o’clock on
Monday morning, when tne.fall about twelve
or fifteen inches, but then it again curmenced
rising, and continue i to rite till 1 or 2 F. M. and
then fell again about 12 inches, as at first. At this
point it I :*® continued with slight variation up to
this time, (Tncs J v, 2A. M ) covering the Strand
and Mov : uni**, htricv, and partly covering Market
street. The wmd n.isconTiiiued to bi >w c. i -tauir
1> lrom the muuc quarter, numtly, kboutsonthe st,
but its violence nts at no time been as greet as on
riur dny night, though it has been very heavy.
The wa.er that came in from the Gulf on Sun
day night ran off very rapidly throogn the streets
into the bay, and nearly all ol it w»s gone by 12
M., on Monday, and none has ocme in 6ince from
tne Gulf side.* It has bean fortunate for us that
the wind has not yet changed round to the north
or northeast, ta in that esse a most disastrous j
overflow would havo follows ;. But fears are en
tertained tha’ j uch a change of the wind may yet
take place. The snipping has thus far e oaped
any material damage, and so have the building * of
the c;ty. Though the wiud is not now sufficient
ly heavy to do much injury, yet the storm still con
tinues, and heavy showers of rain continue to fall
at intervals.
We learn from the News that the wharves did
noi sustain much damrge. The Nows says:
The present overflow ia greater than any we j
have ever before witnessed iu this chy. Several
gentlemen who have been here for the past fifteen
years, say the water whs about twelve inches
higher than a r any other tine since 1687. This
storm is doubtless t v e same which commenced in
Cuarieston on the 7*.h : and it has probably
been severely felt ut aft p’--.-as from Charleston to
Galveston. We expect to hear of heavy losses.—
The six veesais which have arrived off our bar on
baiurday, have been occasionally seen since,
tnougn some of them have probably gone to sea j
for greater safety.
The Nows, of the fcjth, says:
The wind coutinusdto increase in violence from
ahe-ct 1 F. M , :l!i 12o’clock at night, accompanied
w’til torrents cf tain tiii night. Tbe wind jortu
na'.ciy choiiu .d very ne&ny *o the south in the as
tern on, which had the effect to drive the water |
from th. bay, faster than it had come in, so that j
ti j streets oi'tbo city were entirely drained before j
srffkt. After night, the wind changed still farther j
to the w«st, and fi-tally came round to the north- j
wos.:,or nearly north, from which quarter it b ows
it is morning. Thi* wind has again caused the;
o ;c*ioi the S' -and, but as tho wa-.er is very
lew in the bay it will soon egaic recede. No fur
ther danger is now apprehended.
Capt. Deiesdernier informs us this morning that
tho six barks outside wore ail safe at anchor la t
nigut, and he thinks they ar6 still there. No
stronger proof could possibly be furnished of tbe
supenor anchorage outside of our bar, and o its
remarkabte security.
The News understands that in many places the
sand hills along the Gulf shore have been washed
away, and quantities of drift wood have been j
i floated up to i he middle of the island.
We are glad to team that tne yellow fever is
| aba.l-g in Galveston. The News, of the 12th,
: says:
In the early part of last week tha average was
! about twelve ; torment? each day. For the last
} four days there has boen in ail twenty-eight burius,
| ar d of these a iarce proportion were inlands, most
1 of whom, if not ml, died from other causes
yellow lever.
Tne cumber of burials yesterday feil off to four,
and we infer that the epidemic is steadily decreas
irg, as we bear of very few new cases. The
storm, though unfavorable to invalid*, will proba
bly beuefit the general health, temporaAy, a*
leoet, for we cannot determine what will be tee
effect, hereafter, of the overflow and heavy rains.
We learn from the Civilian that the flrst ep
| pea ranee of yeliow fever in Galveston was sus
i pected on the 9th of August, and its existence and
: epidemic character continued to be matters of dis
pute until the 13th, when the regular publication
of the sexton’s reports of interments oom
menced. It appears by these reports that the
whole number of interments from t*>e9th of Ru
gust to tho ISth of Septensbar was 297. The re
ports embrace the deaths from all causes, but tbe
great preponderance of iellcw fever leaves tbe
jember from other son roe* scarcely great enough
to warrant ft distinction. The Civilian remarks
that considering tho number of unaccliuiatsci this
season iB scarcely one-third as great as it was Lat
year, the number of denrho greatly exceeds those
of 1353, ana probably tfc>»-tuno the epidemic has

The Times says that portion cf the State i* very

Tho same paper famishes the following intelli
gence:
At oar last dates, 26th August, all was peaceful
on our Northern frontier. There were no Indian
fights or depredations. Col. Bragg, of Fort Wash
ita has issued orders requesting the heads cf fam
ilies of all non-military residents located on the
reserve prior to the Ist of July last, to report to
him their names, number in family, occupations,
time of arrival, and iho authority under which
they remain; traffickers with tha Indians to report
the date of license aad by whom issued. These
regulations are necessary to the proper police of
the frontier, and will preveut many bad white
men from committing outrages under the cloak of
Indians. The contract!* for supplying t’uo fort
with corn were taken at $1 60 to 2 00 per bushel.
It affords some idea of the scarcity of the article.
Capt. Pope, with ins escort lor New Mexico, un
der Lieut, L H. Marshall, havebeeu heard from
since leaving Fort Washita, and were gottingalong
finely. A party of man from Grayson county made
an unsuccessful attempt recently to run off a ne
aro w oman, claimed by Overton Love, near Wood
boro’, on Bod River. Mr. Love lost about one
hundred bushels of corn by the party tearing
down the fence of his Arid.
Letters from San Patricio inform ns that several

thieves, who have bien, for sometime, depreoa

Nueces counties. Conducting thoircxploit6 under
the cover of night, and dropping arrows at suite
b'o places, they have hitherto aucoeeded in leading
many to believe that tho robberies were c ommitted
by Indiana. It is now believed thnt there are a
number of Mexicans, and some Amorioanß, en
gaged in the lawless pursuit.
There was a roport in Ban Antonio that the
headquarters of tho army arc to be removed from
Corpus Christ!.
A hostile meeting recently occurred in Bastrop
county, betwoen Mr. Augustus Hemphill and M.

The citizens of San Antonio have adopted meas

From Northern Mex'co—Progress of the Ilevo
latiou.
Our provioas accounts from Brownsville wore
to the 6th instant. By the ai rival of the steamer
Nautilus, this morning, wo have Brownsville pa
pers to tho 10th.
It appjars that the revolutionists in Northern
Mexico are making gradual progress, having ob
tained possession already of several important
towns, aud probably Monterey. The Government
troops, it seems, aro incapable of interposing any
effective check to the progres-iof the revolutionary
forces. What will be tbs result, time only can
show. At present, 8* eta Anna’© power in North
orn Mexico appears 1.0 ba io i Iruost noth
of tho news. Wo take the following from tho Flag
of the Oth inst.,
By an arrival at Matamoroa last evening we
lesrn that the insurgents arc still active. Tho day
before yesterday a purty of them under Colonel
Gapistran entered the town of San Fernando, 90
miles south ol Matamoron, and rumor says made
prißonors of the civil officers of the place. This
town of San Bernaudo had joined tho revoluticna
r> movement in pronouncing against tho present
Government, bat the near approach of Govern
ment forces induced them to change their ideas
and swear fealty anew to the rule of tho despot.
This the insurgents wore not disposed to allow,
and hence the visit of Co‘. Oapistran.
The insurgents seem to bo us sanguine as over,
though they nave changed their plan of operations
somewhat. The bettor to maintain themselves it
is said thoy have divided into several panics and
commenced a system of guerilla wartj.ro, one of
which it was thnt gained the victory spoken of in
another place. In this manner tboy aro confident
of both maintaining themselves and harrossing
their onemy lor years, if necessary.
Col. Cruz, who left Matamoros six or eight Idays
ag ), with a command of three hundred men, is
said t o have been quito unsuccessful in his pur
suit. Tho almost incessant rains have so filled
the country with water that he has been forced to
vrado his men and horses continually, and the con
tinued surveillance ol the enemy prevents his
grazing hi.> horses, so that the whole command is
represented as being in great suffering from both
hunger and disease.
Ja«*t ss wo are going to press, we have received
information from a reliable source, that a purty of
tho insurgents under the command of Col. Capis
tram, have taken the city of Linares, We abstain
from mentioning tne place where they are to go
next, for fear of publishing part of their future
operations.
It seems that a part of seventy Government
troops, under the command of an officer named
Paulin, were disarmed entirely by the Democrat
force, who after condemning their chief to bo shot,
n puuishme t ho deserved for raoro than one
deed, turned the soldiers free; since theu, wo are
informed, very few have joined the regular army.
Wo Lave been reliably informed, that the section
of Government troops that took the city of Victoria
when its heroic defenders had to leave the place
oa account of the exhausting of their ammunition
carried and used heavy artillery, destroying part
of the town without doing much barm to the in
surgents. Wo have also been assured that said
troops burnt several houses before and after tbeir
triumph, committing excesses of more than oao
species.
Tr.o Flag, ot tho 16th, has tho following further
intelligence.
The revolutionists across the Bio Grande seem
to V: gradually gaining ground. In the early part
of the week wo learned cf their having possession
ot tho towns es Linares, Monleraorclos and Cada
reyta, in the Btato of Nuevo Leon, and yesterday
and to-day the report is accredited that the capital
of Nuevo Leon, Monterey,§ had fallen into the
hand* of the patriots by invitation of its inhabi
tants. If this latter report ba trua, and we be
lieve it is, the revolutionists have now po?set‘sion
of the strongest position north of the Bierra Madre
mountains. with arms and munitions in abundance.
As to the fact of their beirg in Monterey, how -
ever, there may be some doubt. Tbo last reliable
information we have from them, they were at
Linares and Montemorelos. It wsb known, how
ever, that Monterey was without soldiers. Gen.
Ampudift bad Font the force garrisoning that place,
cOO men under a Gol. Oroooz, against tne rebels ti
Viet iL, and the latter by stratagem placed this
lorco in their rear and occupied the towns ou the
read to Monterey.

Tho steamship Nautilus, Captain Auld, arrived
this morning from Brazos Santiago, via Galveston,
bhc left tho Brazos on Saturday evening, and Gal
veston *'n Monday at noon. The Nautilus brings
i $161,811 in specie. Siie experienced the ’ate gale
ou Sunday, the 17th inst. betwoen Galveston and
tho Brazos, from the N. E- and cn the 18th and
19th off the B:8zos, from N. W., the sea breaking
in eight fathoms water. The Nautilus received no
damage. She was outside five days before she
ceuld enter. Brazos aud Padre Islands partially
overflowed. No loss of property. The schr. L.
F. Rodgers had not arrived.
Bv this arrival we have Brownsville papers to
the 16th mat. There is not much news from the
American side of the R*o Grande.
! The Flag, of the 16ib, »»ys:
1 By Tuesday’s mail from Laredo we have intelli
gence from that place and points below as late as
tho 6th inst., the mail having come through in four
days, thus making the “ quickest trip on record. ’
Affairs seem prosperous in the vanguard of our
settlements. Ti-e only to their prospe
rity ia the continual depredations of the Indians.
On this subject we give the following extract of a
tetter from a reliable correspondent at Carrizo, a
flouriehmg town opposite the old Mexican one of
: Guerrero:
« We have had quite an exciting time of it here
I for the last day or two. Yesterday Capt. Lcwci.en
Jones cf tho Rifles, who was on . is way from Lv
redo to this pit.ee with a party men, cams
Mt 3» a frt»b lad:»n trail about ten miles tborj .
here. H; sUriad at ODte in pursuit, tnd :.fter 10l
low'idk ths trail for about fifUen roles, to a point
i .oms tour mild* distant from this pla&j, .aoa trorn i
I tbo river, he overtook the Indian-, wbp namocied j
ifra ten t" filteen, and afte.' a hmd fight nesac
i oufcded in diapers;.* them, Ming otic Indian and
j rounding three more, taking from tnem seven ;
i horses, saddles end various other planner.
‘ Cuotkin Jones’ loss was one corjKir*! wounded
/mee dead) and two privates wounded; Übo four
horses wounded. Tne Indiana fought likedevds,
and Oaaptain Jc nee thinks if le bad men enough
to have divided bis party, bail on foot and me
other on fcorrebsok, he weald tave boen ah.e to
have k ; lied oveiy Indisn there. In fret, the par
ties sent out are too small, lor when they overtake
ths Indians and whip thein; thoy are so crippled
they cannot follow up their advantages.
Captain Elliott, of the Kifles, baa jnat arrived
1 hero with a small party to taite up the trail and
| follow it. We are in hopes that he wi',l overtake
I the Indians, as Captain Jones left them in such a
bad state they cannot have made much headway.
The Flag, referring to the lately itaacd army
order for the employment of the military force on
the Rio GraEde, remarks:
W e are happy in being able to inform our friend*
in those remote settlements that the late “Army
Ord sis” are such as promise, at least, a more re
Itet'• protection for them in the future. Wo the
other day heard one of thaee orders read, and
think the plan recommended will prove efficacious,
if oarried out- The Infantry are commended to
watch the different paaeee, from concealed posi
tions, and tbue inform themseivee of the crossing
of Indian parties. Os the effect of this disposi
tion of infantry we are not ao oarUin—thia i*mA
of hide and eeek is one at which the rrsc the
fcrest is much better skilled tern
mau. It may have the effect, however, and doubt
le's will, of preveutiug the cf the Indians
at their frequented passes, and this of itself will
bo conducive of much good. The disposition ol
the whole mounted force is much better. Tbe
1 force is ordered to keep continually scouting in
; detached parties; one portion of them raiding
the country from near the river, outward, and
I P° r ti°u to march on a line parallel with
~ J iTe ’ froiTl tbe main r?ads, and • n
such manner as frequently to ono party
with the other. If these orders nra carried out, ~s
doucticsa they will be, we think it wid be hard for

otner of these companies cn their trail.

We paid a visit to the Infirmary last evening,
and through the kindness of Drs. Redwood aud
Hamilton cf tho Mobile “Can’t get away Club,”
aud Dr. Croaa of the New Orleans “Howard As
sociation,” wore made acquainted with facts con
nected with that institution which will be inter-
Ofctiug to our rcadeis, as exhibiting tho benefits it
has conferred upon our community since its first
establishment. Woresnchan asylum iu existence,
iu connection with our hospitals, to aid our physi
cians iu battling agaiuet the fierce aud desolating
advance of the pestilence iu its beginning, the
mortality, we veuture to sty, would nave been at.
least one third less than it has proven. Too much
praise oaunot be awarded these gentlemen for the
close attention they have given to their celling,
not only as physicians, but as representatives oi
the cities of Mobile aud Now Orleans alleviating
the sufferings of the sick of bavannah. They
have oar gratkdue for their kind cilices, and best
wishes for the health a d prosperity of their own
fair ’ities.
The advantages arc great to the physicians in
having his patients in a proper building, where he
is constantly net? them daring their iliuese, over
that of having to visit them at different points
through the city where his proscriptions are oiten
neglected tnd in too many instances abused by
careless and indifferent nurses, and sometimes left
to ohances for aid at all daring tho intermissions
of their visits.
The Infirmary was opened on tho 26th of last
month, just one week yesterday, aud in that time
43 patients were admitted, 16 ol whom have been
discharged, and 4 deaths occurred—leaving at pre
sent 28 patients under treatment, all of whom with
the exception of a lad who lies seriously ill, appear
to be doing well. We had the satisfaction of see -
ing three convaiescing patients who had had tho
black vomit—two males and one female—one ol
whom was bronghtto the Infirmary with the hic
oough upon him. Os the four who died, all were
brought there too far gone for medical aid to havo
availed much. One was found, by a watchman,
in s he streets, very much intoxicated, with a limb
fra-cured, and with too great a loss of blood when
admitted; one after having the black vomit; and
another who had the vomit an hoar after being
admitted.
The wards are all well kept and properly attend
ed by good nnrsos day and iright.
Our own physicians have had as muoh to endure
through thia sickly season as is possible tor human
nature to bear np against—ana many of them tell
martyrs to tbeir Samaritan cause. Those who
havo passed th rough the severe trial, had oithor
been attacked by the epidemic or been brought to
the .verge of exhaustion in the performsmea of
their nsaidnoua and almost miraculous labors.—

Upon this paragraph tho Louisville Journal
makes the following very just and sensible corn
monte i
As the editor of tho Ohio Stats Journal his dig
nified this paragraph with the appellation of a test,
wo propose to his facts and the conclu
sions he has arrived at and beo whothor they will
attend the test of scrutiny.
The editor docs what tho most natal© abolition
ists refaro to do—he admits the right ol property
in slaves to tho people of tho South. To those
who believe in the enntfemacy of the laws of h*
land, the right to hoia slaves as proparty is clear
and unquestionable, bat those who believe in a
higher law deny that right. Until tho higher law
assamco the form of an aol of Cccgresf*, with all
tho macl iacry ol Judges*, juries, sheriflS, and pris
on-"., wo do uot. believe that its binding force will
bs admitted, or it* enactments icspectcd.
Hnviag admitted tho right to hold slaveo an pro
party, and to transfer thorn to any territory, the
writer proceeds that, when slaves ar« thus
taken to a territory, they must bo treated as pro
psrtyfmercly, tour«hhit>wn language <; tho owner
of the slave aud the owner of tne ox should hold
tbeir property by the Bnmo common law.” The
“political sense” cf which he speaks in the para
graph Quoted above, is the right which tho con
stitution of the United Suites given to the clave
Biate3 to have three siavo* represented in Congrc«3
as one white man Is, and the writer says this right
did not extend beyond the original tbirtcon States.
This ia not correct.
The Constitution,article 4, section 8, says: “New
States may be admitted by CoDgross into this Uni
on,” and article 1, aection 2, saja: “Represent*
tivea and direct tares shall be apportioned among
the several Slates which may be included within
this Union according to their respective numbers
which shall be determined by adding to the whole
number of free persons, including those bound to
service for a term cf years an 1 excluding Indians
not taxed, three fifth* </all other persons." This
political light ot representing three fifths of the
slaves in Congress is here given in the most ample
manner to the people of all the slave States that
“may be included within this Union." This lan
guage must of course be regarded as applying not
only to the Slates then in the Union, but also to
all those that should thereafter bo admitted. The
framers of the Constitution did imt, as the editor
of the Ohio Journal supposes, intend to place pro
perty in slaves on the pamo basis es property in an
ox. The Constitution gives to tho people of the
slave States a partial representation of their slaves,
and it has not given that privilege to tbo owners
of horses or cxen. Whether tho grant of this
privilege was wise is not a question for us to de
termine—it is evident from tho terms of the Con
stitution that a power is given to tho holders of
s ave property that was no* conferred on the own
era of horses and oxen in the freo States.
Objection to the represonta’ion of three-fifths
of the slaves in slavo States comes with a bud
grace from tho people of the free Statos, when in
Muse States the negroes are all represented; even
States in which they are not legal citizens, and not
permitted to vote, enumerate them in the census,
*nd they are in fact represented in Congress. If
you admit that slaves are property, the right of
partia' representation follows in virtue of the con
stitutional guarantee.

Napoleon and his Guide at Waterloo. —On tho
d ty after iny arrival at Brussels, I bad a chance to
vigil the field of battle. A fortu ate chance brought
luo for a cicerone trie same peasant, Coste, whom
Napoleon found at Charleroi, on the evening be
fore the battle, and took with him to his bead
quarters as a guide. All the dififarent narratives
of tho baltio which 1 had collected and read, the
plans and maps I had carefully studied, and a
panoramic view of tbo field I had procured In
London, had stamped themselves so vividly on my
memory, that I had scaroely reached the scene,
and alighted from my vehiolo, ere I found myself
quite at homo. Not a hillock, not an unevenness
of the ground, not a clump of trees, not a hamlet
in tne nighborhood, or lar away, that 1 had not
named at the first glance. Coete, who had to keep
the description he had learned by heart, to him
self, at length remarked that I did not require his
services, it, as he wa:: led to suppose, I bad myself
bean present at the battle.. I acquainted him with
the truth, and greatly or joyed hie contradictory
answers, when l questioned him in regard to cer
tain points of dotr.il. Thus, for instance, I found
myself more at home than ho waa in the Castle of
Hougoumont and its garden, wcere the marks of
deutruotion wore still ho distinctly visible, for he
bad been beside the Emperor all day, until the
hero of the age was, foi the second time, compelled
to seek safety in flight. When Coste—this w*a
his own story—having been placed among Napo
leon’s staff, rode with him into the first fire of tne
English batteries, he laid himjclf with his whole
body lengthwise, and as closa to tho animal as he
could cling, upon hia horse’s back, bo that the
enemy’s balls might not hit him. When Napoleon
saw this, be called to him, with a smite, “Git up,
sou silly lellowl Yoa catfibot avoid tho ball that is
desrined to strike you, no matter how you try to
do tiol” “And ho was right,” added Coste, “for
bore I am, you eeo.” From the causeway of La
H*ye Raiute, wo rode along a hollow, sheltered on
cither side by hills. I here asked my guide if this
were not the spot from which Napoleon observed
the last onset of his guards and cuirassiers under
Noy. “You are on the very ground 1” he said ;
“it was precisely bore!” I then asked, “What
did he say? What did he do?” “Not much l”
rejoined Coste, “ho looked onco more through his
field glass, then he said, “The} are in confusion—
all is over—lot us go 1’ We then took the track
right across the field to Charleroi, dashing along as
fust as our beasts could go, and when we reached
the place, ail aid do camp flung me a double Na
poleon, with tho words ‘To tho d—l with you I’ or
something worse. I ’—if. Jholte'i Fifty Years 1 Resi

Japan Letter Paper.— The editor of the New
York Herald has been shown a letter written by an
officer of the Japan Squadron, upon paper of na
tive manufacture. Its texture is remarkably light;
eo much ao indeed that it is described as some
thing betwoen tho finest bank note paper and gos
samer. And yet, though it iB apparently of the
very flimsiest material, it is remarkably strong
and oohesive. It appears to be, and probably is,
manufactuered out of a pulp made of rice. The
parper is ornamented, and perhaps solidified, by a
vciciugof some pretty design, somewhat in the
S4ino routiner as tbo watering on some bank note
paper. Tho specimens are of clivors patterns. *One
of tho designs consists of geometrical
figures of about an inch in circumferenco, and
comprising several lilies most ingeniously connec
ted together into a sort of Chinese puzzle, the koy
to winch it iB impossible to find. Tho other two
o jx i-jLA jvLjoL,
with the gossamer text’- roof paper, gives it the
appearance of Honiton laco. They were all of the
ordinary note paper size. Tho paper must be ad
mirably adapted to receive and retain ink, as the
writing had ail the appearance of superior litho
graphy. Tho iotter is dated from Hakodadi, Is-
Taaa of Ycssu, aud tbo writer says:
V? c shall sail from here in a few days for Samo

How Russia treats hbr best Generals.—Mou
raivieff commenced hie career as a lieutenant in a
I egiraont quartered in Georgia, of which country
he was sftci wards roanj years Governor-General.
Nc offioer in tbe Russian army possessed tho same
talents and acquirements ; his capabilities as a
linguist woro great, extending to thirteen lan
guages, many of them Eastern. Though more
than acquainted with tho duties of his profession,
ho never, like the martinet cf Wor saw the
lute Grand Duke Constantine, examinod whether
the men’s gloves were sown on the inside or out;
nor did he care whether their caps were put on
ati he precise angle prescribed oy tho imperial
orderly book at Si. Petersburg; moreover, he had
opinions of his own, not exactly iu accordance with
those of his rooster. A few years ago his division
was ordered to one of tho great reviews; but,
in a good and effective state, ite appear
anoe did not meet with the approbation of the
Emperor, who had scarce glanood his oye along
tbe line, when ho ordered Mouraivieff to tho roar,
exclaiming aloud, “Bud, bad ! what troops ! Na
tional Guards l” The mar,gruvros over, tho dis
graced general was ordered into his presence.
“Wliat means this, sir? ’ demanded the Emperor.
No answer. “ What troops do you call these,
sir?” Still no answer. “Do you know who is
speaking to you, sir f” T1 e general raised his
hand slowly to his cap, but remained silent. Dis
missed with indiguatiOM, he retired to his tent;
tho polioy, however, of Nicholas gained the ascen
dant over his ungovernable Lemper, and tho noxt
day Mouraivieff received and invitation to dinro r;
but the insult had been too public; he ueelined the
honor, and retired to his estate near Tver, refusing
either reconciliation or employment. Yermololf,
in consequence oi sor.io caprice of the Emperor’s
or the intrigues cf those about him, was also
shelved.— Jestscs Jtvssia and the War.
Tnx Cemetery of Scutari. —At the head of each
grave ia left a sort of hole or channel, conducting
towards the ear of the deceased, that he may be
enabled to hear the sighs, prayers and lamenta
tions of his family or friends. This openiug, too
often, alas 1 enlarged by the dogs or jackals, seems
intended as a sort of vent for tho sepulchre, a
kind of peep-hole through which this world oan
look into the other. In wandering, with no fixed
d36tination, I arrived at a part of tbe cemetery
more ancient than the re?t, and consequently more
neglected. Tho eopnlchial columns, nearly all out
of perpendicular, leaned in every direction; many
were recumbent, as if tired or standing so long,
and thinking it useless to continue to designate
graves which nobody now thought of visiting.
The earth, sunken by the decay of the coffins or
the aclicn of the rain, preserved but carelessly the
socrots of the tomb. At nearly every Btep my
foot struck against somo fragment of a jaw, a rib,
or a thigh-bone; and, amid an occasional patch of
short turf, I could sometimes see shining spherical
objects, white and polished like ivory. These
were skulls, basking m the sun. In a few of the
open graves pious hands nad replaced the bones
with some degree of ordtr; from others, the frag
ments of th e skeletons rolled like peboles about
the deserted pathways. I was seized with a
strange and horrible curiosity to peep into some of
those openings in the grave, of which I have be
fore spekon; to penetrate the mysterious dark
ness of the tomb, and behold the dead moulder
ing within its limits. I stopped and gazed into
some of tiipse windows of tne sepulchre, and I
could see plainly the dust of humanity in its «n
--drus*. Issw the cranium,yellow, livid, grinning,
and dislocated jaws and empty, sightless sockets;
the bony cage of the half-buried in send or
black mould, over which fell carelessly the skele
ton arm. The rest was loctiD shadow or in earth.
These s ec*pe r s scorned tranquil enough; and, far
from horrifying me, as I expected, the spectacle
rariter rea sur d me. There was, in reality, noth
ing there but phosphate of lime; and the eoul
once d 2 par*ad, nature was resuming her elements,
little by little, to form new combinations. —

Important Invention.— The Rational Inteiligen- I
cer says:
u d t , ffji. r. McConnell, of this city, bn, after
a protracted contention with interfering partite
from Earope, obtained a patent for making gee
from wood. The fact that two distinguished Gor
man onemirtr, after patenting tbe identical iuven
tion in Earope two yeare ago, ehun.'d have come to
content thin right before the American Patent Of
fice is Indicative of the importance tl the inven
tion. It U admitted by them, we nnderetaDd, and
by all. that gas from wood cannot be made avail#
ho without naiDg the process which is now patent
ed to Mr. McConnell, and we hope he may reap a
reward for hie invention. We have noticed an
article in a late New York journal giving thanks
to tne German Profebaora for introducing this im
portent invention when coal ia so dear. The
thaokh are due to Dr. McConnell. The patent wr.;>
refused to tbo German inventora, and he ia the role
