An article in the Medical and Surgical Jour
nal is devoted to “the External Application of
Oil of Turopentiae as a substitute for Quinin©
in Intermittent Fever.” Surgeon Kenedy t te«»
ports the successful trial of this application,
without lailure, in over thirty oases. Os seven
cases reported at the General Hospital, Guytor,
Ga., the resultjivaa immediately successful in all
but in thrae the chtls returned afterwards. The
mode of application recommended is: “Half an
hour before the expected paroxysm, a bandage
wet with the turpentine, is applied around tba
body at the lower part of the chest, the linen re«
placed and the outside clothing buttoned. If
convenient, tbe patient should be placed in
blankets." When there is a probability of the
return of the paroxysm on the seventh or four
teenth day, the appkoatipn should be repeated
The Federal Conscription in Memphis.
The recent militia order, says the Memphis
Bulletin, has had the effect to de>er travel in that
direction. Many oi our citizens who are absent
stay away to avoid conscription, and strangers
who contemplate visiting the ci y before, have
changed their plans, and determined not to rush
into the very jaws of impressment.
The business of picking up those who do not
carry the necessary papers, is being vigorously
pushed. There is no doubt that several uanger*
ous characters have been sent through the lines
into the Confederacy. It is no place for avowed
enemies to be, within the lines of a city which is
in imminent danger of attack. Oae secret foe is
worse than ten in the open field.
From ihe Charleston Courier, 18.
Siege Os Charleston.
ONE HUN DEED AND NINETY-THIRD
DAY.
The bombardment of the city was renewed
Thursday evening, and has been vigorously kepi
up stnee :asc report. The rnttkjues fired, are stiri
the small Wiard and one hundred pounder .Par
rott shells, and average a,bout one every five
minutes.
0n s 6aturday 134 shots were fired, making the
total number of sirens turowxi during the week,
up to 8% o’clock Saturday night, 1,838.
No report ot the number of shots fired Sunday
was received up to the hour of writing. Our bat
teries bave kept up a spirited reply, and heavy
firing was stilt going on at the hour of closing
of our report, 11 o’clock Sunday night. We have
heard of no oaSUallties.
The heavv tiring heard Saturday in the direo*
tion of Stono was from oue ot' our own batteries
practicing. The enemy at Gregg opened heavily
upon Battery Simpkins for abbot an hour Satur
day afternoon.
The Yankees are still bc.sy at Gregg turfing
the glacis, and were also engaged Saturday aud
Sunday in hauling ammunition to Gregg and the
Cummings’ Point hatteries,
The steam lriga'e Wabash has left, and her
place been supp.ied by a smali sloop of War,
without steam.
An increase of the number of vessels in Stono
is reported. The number of vessels inside the
bar continues about as usual, including the Iron
sides ands . • ’tors. A propeller transport
and a ri filled with troops, Laving
two bar in U '-/ere seen Saturday going
North warn, supposed to bo on a recouuoitoriag
expedition.
An official dispatch from Ilardeeville, dated
I6th, says:
“Our scouts ropoft the enemy’s river steamers
busy plying between tbe fleet at St. Helena and
the fiael at Hilton Head."
A report from Fort Scuuler mentions the sud
den death a; the fort on Friday of private G. W.
Duncan, Company E, 27th S. C. V., from con
gestion of Hie lungs ana bram fever, also a negro
from the same cause.
A conespon.-ieiit -t thV Nmv York Times,
wntiiig from Folly Liariil,; speaks thus of
the effects *;f the iatu biujnni in thtit section t.
The obstructimis in the channel off Sum
ter Were ah washed awav, and it is believ
ed that none now exist between the lort
and Charleston. Tho beach on Morris and
Folly islands is strewn with the timber and
other material oi which ihe obstructions
were composed. Judging Jrom tiie timber
thus discovered, the obstructions were
formed of heavy piles, driven down and
tiien lash'*d together wi’h ropes and chain*.
It would also appear that vessels were sunk
in the Channel, aa portionk of * tbe miup
have been picked up. 'j
The tremendous sea washed away por
tions of tbe beach near Fort Putnam, for**
titer ly Gresg, and exposed to view several
heavy gnus that th« Confederates had
buried previous to evacuating Morris Is

THE MILITARY DESPofI?U OF THS WORTH.
The Chicago Times s .ys, in referring to the
proceedings of Congress:
Mr. E Jgerton.ot luolijna, *s muon eompliineo
ted by the conservative members of Congress or
both Houses, for tbe noble tone, as well as the
comprehensiveness and point of* his resolmione.
These resolutions arraign the President, as he
deserves, for his bad faith and for the viol uion
of his inaugural oath; ibrow in his teeth the
various solemn promises which be has disre
garded ; and denounce the whole military p >licy
of tho administration in fitting terms. The reso
lutions, of course, were voted down; but the fact
that they received 6fi votes in 'he House of Rep
resentatives caused a very nneasy feeling to per
vade the radical side of tue House.
The resolution of Mr, Harringt <n, of Indiana,
offered on the same day, in relation to the habeas
corpus and the usurpations of the President, are
similar in tone and spirit, and are equally som
mendable. They met, of course, with the same
fate.
TIIE SITUATION IN EAST TENNESSEE.
The Times, in an article on the military situa
tion in East Tennessee, says:
The official repotts that have been received
here lately do not coincide with the statements
that have been published in the administration
organ.*, in relation to the s*a:e of affairs at Chat
tanooga and Kn xville. In the first triaee, Q-c.
Lmgstreet is not retreating co Virginia’. He is
firmly established at Rjgersviil**, 35 miles x* uth>
east of Cumberland (Jap, where be is awaiting
reinforcements from Geo Let’s army, which are
on the way to him. Joined by theta, it is ex
pected tfcac ' e will either tuako a second attempt
to take Knoxville, or else that he wilt rejoin the
arms of Go-. Hardee, at Ringgold. In; he sec

Speaking of New Baltin: r feel rai- ■’■>
relate one of the boldest guerrilla adveutares of
tho war. The second brigade of regular artil
lery was encamped at that p’oee, and oae night
received orders to march to Wurrenton, four
miles distant. The night was clear and pleasant,
the moon shitting brightly, and everything ap
parently auspicious for a piaasant march- The
batteries and their comma*, (fers were ia the ad
vance, and the qtiartertnariere brought to the
rear. With so strong and formidable a column,
no denger was apprehended.
When they were about two miles from their
old camp, they were met by a rqtiad of o ivaby,
ail rtmarkabiy well mounted. The cavalry pur.
sued their way until they had pnssed the batte
ries, neither column taking particular notice of
the other—it is always tbe ease when troops are
marcaing. As they neared tho train, om of the
teamiters, a white man, asked ‘What cavalry no
you belong?’ ‘Eighteenth Fennsylvamo,’ was
the reply —the cavalry sii.l marching 00, and
casting ‘sharp glances at the quarteriiiaa.er’e
wagoi l . J'he next question catna irom the
‘Eighteenth Pennsylvania
’Wnat train is this?’
‘Quarter master £ ’s ’
‘Who coinminds this brigade ?’
‘Captain Graham.’
‘Waere is Capiain Graham ?*
‘At the head of the coiuuiu.’
‘WLe.e is Quartermaster S—— V
‘Here/ shouted the unlucky vuirtermaster.
Ia an instant ono of the Pennsylvanians* *a<
by hie aide, a pistol was Clapped toms head, wi h
the irjuuoiton:
‘Sa.- one word, and I’ll blow your brains ou-.*
The tram was al! this ti ne in motion, bourn
of them rode up to the ba ;ery wagons, and or
deroa them to 4 lose up/ which they immedutsiy
did, wmle those behind i ok Care oi ibo torng*-
teams. The tram was no-v divided, ih« »it-gr*i
teatut ers were forced to unhitch ihen* teams
This done, they were next forced to drive tho
mules iuto the woods, and :honc*J into by-roads.
The guerrillas thus orptu-ed at onee about one
hundred aud thirty mules, twen y negroes, one
Quartermaster and his clerk, and one ordeny
»orgei* in. When tho.-e at the head of the column
were rpprised of what had occurred, they pur
sued tne ‘Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry/ but
the oh xse was fruitless—the guerjilias nad dis
appeared, and with them their booty.
The Chicago Times, in speaking of Liacoln’s
late proclamation and tho terms proposed in it,
says:
“If the South consents to them, tho degrada
tion they offer will hot be half a-* severe as should
be intituled upon » people wuo oouid aoo-.pt that
degradation. 1. she dues, she o no* fie to bt* in
the Union upon any terms of quality with oth:*r
States, or to exercise any political privileges ol
any n me or na.ure. It she does, her people
should becompeiGd to chaugesituations wt;h ne
slaves, aud govtrued only ov tbe wo* seer’s la.-*li.
No true American could propose ouch a degrada
tion lo fellow ouiz3ns, and me tact that tney have
been made is proof that their autuor is either
insane with :anaticism, or a iraitor wuo glones
in his country’s ehatne.”

“More than a week ago it was whispered
