that he wia not willing to see company, and it was
with many misgivings that I stood at nla door, and

that three gentlemen from America would bo glad to

Religious intelligence.
New JgRSzv.—From the journal of proceedings of
the 17th Annual Conventiou of the Diocese of New
Jersey, at Burlington, we glean some interesting
facts, indicative or the growth and progress of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in that State. Bishop
Doane, in his episcopal address to the Convention,
thus sums up his labors for the year:
44 1 have,ordained two deacons and three priests,
and have instituted three rectors. I have consecrated
four churches* and laid three corner stones. I have
re-opened one church, after material improvements,
and Bet apart a building as a chtpet-achool house.—
Thore are five churches nearly ready for consecration,
and sovon others - In progress. In 33 places I have
confirmed 258 persons. The number would have been
greater bad I not failed to fulfil, in part, the Autum-
nnl, first, and then tho Vernal, Visitation, through
tho failure of my health. Newtown, Piscatawa, Knowl-
ton, Hope, Belleville, Lambertville, Vernon, Trenton,
Belvldero ami • Somerville were not visited; and the
Southern Visitation was made at such short notice
os to frustrate much of its influence. T am constrain
ed, by grateful love, to acknowledge hero the almost
perfect restoration of my health. A few months, if
God continue his loving kindness, will render me as
capable as at any period of my life of tho work to
wifleh he has called me; and. I numbly trust, of the
sorrows and sufferings, through which, it may please
Him, to advance my sanctification.”

favor to a data of clllaon* who require kind consideration
and aid. Mr, Bartow voted for the bill.—Republican.
We understand that Col. Srward, and those who
voted with him, against this bill, would have been
willing and anxious for Us passage. If ii could have
been amended so as to reitriot the privilege of ex
emption from road doty to men whose* business is
preaohlng the gospel. But it is known that there are
in this State, perhaps thousands of preachers, pursu
ing the common avocations of life—many or them
men of wealth—who wonld not desire such an ex
emption.
Wo have been informed that the Control Rood, some
years alnce, with commendable liberality, allowed
preaohera to travel on its cars for half price. But
there were found to be so many of the class to which
we have alluded, who claimed the benefit or this priv
ilege, that the officers of the Company were compell
ed to withdraw it entirely.
There are none who are opposed (we are assured
that Col. Skward certainly is not) to’ Increasing tho
privileges and exemptions of all preachers, wliosd
prbteaslon and busluess'ls the'minister—whose lives
are devoted tothatsacred work. But there are men,
exoellent men too, lawyers, doctors, merchants, plant
ers, men of property, who add to their regular avoca
tions that of occasionally preaohlng, and ore conse
quently ministers of the Gospel; such, we are Bure,
would not ask to be exempted from any of tho duties
which the law imposes upon other lawyers, doctors,
merchants and planters. Yet Col. 8kward is to be
condemned because ho did not vote for a bill making
a distinction in their favor.
Whether it is intended to create the impression
that be is unfriendly to religion, and to briug theolo
gy Into the Congressional as well as the Guberna
torial canvass, we know not. We may, however, ob
serve that whatever be his religious faith, (Into which
we have not inquired,) Col.Seward is known among
his neighbors as one of the most liberal whenever,
contributions are required for the erection of churches,
for the support of preachers, or for the establishment
of schools.
But we forbear. For we don’t really think that
either his vote on tho bill exempting ministers from
working on roads, or his contributions to their sup
port, have any connection, with hla qualifications os
a member of Congress,
Discussion between Messrs. Seward and
Bartow.
The report of the proceedings of the Democratic
meeting in Effingham contains a notice or the first
discussion of the existing canvass, between Messrs.
Seward and Bartow. It seems that, though a Dem
ocratic meeting, Mr. Bartow insisted upon the ad
vantage of both opening aud concluding the debate.
If Mr. Bartow be so immensely the superior of bis
competitor, as his friends claim, it seems to us hardly
excusable that he should have insisted upon such an
advantage; certainly a little remarkable. It is to be
presumed, at any rate, that he will act up to his own
precedent in the discussions which will probably
come off at bis own appointments. At snch of them
aa Col. Seward shall attend, if any, Mr. Bartow, it
is to be presumed, will give him the privilege of open
ing and concluding.
A friend folly competent to judge, after hearing
the discussion in Effingham, writes:
44 Col. Seward acquitted himself very handsomely
—spoke &u hour and a half, forcibly, fluently, elo
quently, and witb much effect.”
The New Steamer St. Johns
Previous engagements prevented our acceptance of
the invitation extended to tho press to accompany
this new boat on her trial trip down the river on Mon
day P. M. All who were so fortunate, however, as to
doBo,speak,in the highest praise ot her excellent
qualities, in size, arrangement, finish, power and
speed. Among those of our co temporaries who joined
in the excursion was the editor of the Courier, who
speaks as follows, in his issue of Tuesday :
41 She left the city at 4 P. M., and proceeded to the bar.—
Her machinery, though new and atlfT, wfrked admirably,
and ahe gave ample promise of being an admirable im-Wl.
Though It waa quite rough upon the bar, she wai very stea
dy, and made tho return trip to the city in one hour and
ten minutes.
** She Is of nearly three hundred tons burthen, one hun
dred and fifty-three feet long, forty-seven feet wide, over all
and eight feet hold. Her wheels are twenty-four feet in
diameter jrith six feet face, and are constructed with refer
enco to both strength and speed. The hull is built after
the most approved model, Is thoroughly braced and copper
’fastened.
41 On her lower deck are the usual office*, wash-rooms
and dining saloon* together with a small ladles’ cabjn,
containing eight comfortable berths, and furnished with
great elegance and good taste. On the upper deck are twen
ty-four large, airy, double state-rooms, with two berths each,
and two doors, one opening into the intervening area, and
the other upon the promenaiedeck. These rooms, togeth
er with the sofas, settees, 4c., will enable ths St. Johns to
accommodate, comfortably, from aeventy-flve to eighty pas
sengers. Her arrangements are all very convinientandad-
mlrably adapted to any weather or season. This cannot
fail to make her a favorite both for invalids* and families.
, 4 * Her engine Is from the well known works of A. N. Mil
ler, of this city. It is of one hundred and twenty hone
power, while the boiler Is of the capacity of one hundred
and fifty horse. This will add materially to both her speed
and safety, a* the boiler will never be strained beyond its
capacity.
The hull of the St. JoKnt was butlt at the ship-yard of
H. F. Wllllnk, Jy.. of this city, and is a highly creditable
specimen of Naval Architecture. The Joiner work was ex
ecuted by H. Perry, specimens or whose taste and handi
work may be seen In the saloons of both the Gordon and
Calhotin. The Iron work was executed by Mr. I). W. Mis-
eally, and Is an admirable specimen of neatness, combined
with strength and utility.
44 The painting, portions of which are equal to anything
of the kind we have over seen, wu done by John O. Fall!-
pant. The furniture has been selected with much taste.—
Upon the whole, the St. John< la a neat, tidy, substantial
vessel, admirably adapted to the trade for which she U In
tended—a credit to both her builders and her owner*. Her
cheer la equal to her elegance, and freely and happily dis
pensed by Mr. Cunningham, the President of the Company,
by Mr. Cnnby, the Agent, and by Capt. Freeborn, who la
every way worthy of commanding so noble a vessel, and to
fine a specimen of the Industry, enterprise and skill of the
Mechanics of Savannah.”
By an advertisement in another column, it will be
seen that the St. Johna leaves this city jbis morn
ing for Bt Augustine, touching at all intermediate
ports, entering the Florida line with the IVelaka and
the Win. Ckuton, thus affording . regular tri-weekly
communication between this and the Florida perts.
We congratulate our Florida friends no less than
the business Interests of Savannah over the Increased
facilities of communication and trade afforded by the
new boat

Democratic Meeting In Effingham County—
Discussion between Messrs. Sevriutl and
Bartow.
SraisoniOD, Aogu*t 20th, 1863.
At a meeting of the Democratic party, of Efllngham coun
ty, held at the court-houae, on Saturday, the 20th luntant,
the Hon. Barnett Newton waa choaen Chairman, and W.
Dally, E*q., Secretary.
The Chairman stated the object of the meeting to be tho
nomination of candidate* for the Legislature.
Dr. O. P. Dealer stated that Col, James L. Sowsrd wa* in
the village, and moved that a committee of five be appoint
ed to Invite him to address the meeting; whereupon the
Chairman appointed Dr.O. P. Bealer.Capt. ILmshart.Ellhu
Wilson, Clytus Rabn, and Robert Christio, that committee.
The committee retired, and then reported through their
Chairman, Dr. Bealer, that they had also invited Mr. Bar
tow to address the meeting, aud that they had made the
arrangement for that gentleman to open in a speech of one
hour—Col. Seward to follow In an hour and a half, and Mr.
Bartow to conclude In a half an hour.
Messrs. Bartow and Seward having appeared in the meet
ing, Mr. Clark, of Baker county, in a few appropriate re
marks introduced Col. Seward to the Democracy of Effing
ham county.
The two speakers occupied their respective times, and ac
quitted themselves to th* aatUfaction of their respective
friends. •»
Col. Seward met all the quettlona of the day, and dis
cussed them fairly by facta and arguments, and in a man
ner that went home to the heart of hi* antagonist.
Mr. Bartow seemed to rely entirely upon his powers of
declamation, and satisfied himself with simply *• beating
the bush.” He didn’t lay tho axe to tho body of the treo,
for the simple reason that it wa* made of stuff too solid for
tbe quality of hi* weapon.
It would have been well for the Democracy If the whole
people of tbe district could have heard it. Mr. Bartow bad
the advantage of opening and concluding at a Democratic
meeting, but a* these were the be*t term* that could be
made with him, the Democracy of Effingham, aeconded by
Col. Seward, were determined that be should have a show-
ing at all event*.
A committee of seven, conslitlng of Daniel Remshart,
Lewi* Morgan. Ellhu Wilson, Robert Christie, Thomas Kee-
bler, Christopher Rieser, and D. A. Morgan, were, on mo
tion, appointed by the Chairman, to consider and report
upon tbe nomination*.
Tho committee retired, and then reported that they would
defer the nomination of a candidate for the Senate, and re
commended tbe nomination of Major Albert G. Porter, fur
Representative, which was unanimously agreed to. The
Secretary, W. Dally, by authority from Maj. Porter, then
accepted the nomination for that gentleman.
On motion of Capt. Daniel Remshart it was—
Unanimously Jletolvtd, That the Democrats of Effingham,
and *11 friendly to the administration of President Pierce,
approve ot nnd confirm the nominations of Hon. Herschel
V. Johnson, for Governor, and of Hon. James L. Seward, for
Congress.
It was then resolved that the proceedings be published,
and the meeting adjourn.
BARNETT NEWTON, Chairman,
W. DilXT. Secretary.
Messrs. Bartow* Sewsrfl and tl&e Brunswick
Road.
Mean. Editors1 have seen in the Savannah Republi
can of the 19th inst..a brief review of some of the votes of
Mr. Bartow Mr. and Seward in the last legislature of Geor
gia. Especially, does the editor of the Savannah Republican
refer to Mr. Bartow’s vote In reference to granting to the
Brunswick Company, the Okefanoke Swamp, as an evidence
of his friendship towards said company. The fourth section
provided for the grant to said company of the Okefanoke
Swamp, upon the payment of $600. A motion was made to
strike out the fourth section of said bill by Mr. Thurmond,
of Jackson county, and Mr. Bartow, like some others, voted
against striking out said section, as a legislative finesse to
retain said section, that the whole bill might be defeated
upon its final passage, and prevent a reorganiration of said
Company. Knowing, as he did, that application was made
for a grant of half of said Swamp, In consideration that a
Plankroad should be constructed across said Swamp, and
which Mr. Bartow, unless greatly misrepresented, favored.
Now let me ask the Savannah KepuWican bow Mr. Bartow
could favor a cession of the whole Swamp to the Brunswick
Company, and at the same time favor a grant of half the
Swamp to the Plankroad Company ? Mr. Bartow, it was un
derstood, was favoring the Plankroad project, and secretly
opposing the Brunswick project, and if the fourth section of
the Brunswick bill had been retained Mr. Bartow, from the
feeling evinced by the House of Representatives, know that
the whole bill would have been defeated, and that is what
he desired.
Again. Mr Bartow has again and again, in conversation
in reference to the Brunswick Road, charged tliatthe North
ern Stockholders were a set of speculators and stock-jobbers,
and wanted to give Brunswick a character abroad by indu
cing capltalits to believe that the Brunswick Road would
be built, and sell their lands at Brunswick for high prices.
He sought to convince the public that the Brunswick and
Florida Railroad Company, and tbe Brunswick Land Com
pany were one and tbe same.
He endeavored to create the impression that tbe report
oftbe Directors of the Brunswick Road was full of false
hoods. That the stock, as mentioned In aald report, had
not been taken, nor tbe amount paid in aa stated, and be
also Insisted that if tbe Road should be built thafcthe bur
den of expense would be upon the Georgia Stockholders.
‘Mr. Bartow entered into an elaborate written argument
In some of bis correspondence, to prove all these asser
tions of bis. Why do all this, if he were friendly to tbe
Brunswick road? Let Mr Bartow, at the risk of bliveracl
ty, deny these foots. He can’tescape the conviction of be
ing hostile to tbe Brunswick Road. He has talked to too
many persons, If he bad not written to so many, to make a
denial. If a sectional controversy 1* to be provoked, let u*
have tbe truth, and let tbe couequencee reit upon Mr.
Bartow’* friend*. Can any man abut bt* eye* from the

Brilliant Democratic Prospects.
Atlanta, Aug. 22d, 1863.
Gentlemen»—Verily the Democratic hosts are marshalling
for the October battle In such a manner aa to ensure an
easy triumph. In all the counties In the Cherokee country,
where our friend* supposed divisions existed, which would
be fatal to the success of our principles, the strong and
persevering efforts of judicious and wise counsellors are
healing up old wounds, and bringing about the ancient en
thusiasm and fraternal regard which in days of yore pecu
liarly characterised the Democracy of the mountains. Our
majority In Lumpkin’s old Dlstrlet will fully come up to
the old number—8,000; and If Dr. Lewis decline—as not
only hlf, but all th* friends of our party dtsin he should—
our vote will be astounding even to the Whigs, accustomed
as the) have been of lato to disorder and defeat. DeKatb
county, where Murphy aud his clan claimed a large majori
ty, for Jenkins and the Algerines, we shall eany by fuHy
three handled f and In the Fourth District Johnson and
Dent will lead their competitors at least a thousand votes.

Particulars of the Capture of Amoy.
We have bceu favored With the following extract
from a letter received by tho loat overland mall from
Cbirui, from ltov. J. V. N. Talmago, American mis-
slouary at Amoy, bearing date May 22d:
Tbe insurgents came domi upon 14 Amoy” in nam-
bere, probably over twenty thousand. They were all
natives of this region. I was awakened by tho first
gutiB which were fired, about 4 o’clock in tho morn
ing. The great naval flgbt took place directly oppo
site our bouse, So that wo had the whole aflUir in full
view—and we may say, if this battle can be called a
fair specimen of Cbiuese warfare, then wo have rea
son to decide that thero arc some excellencies of
which you Western nations know nothing. The Chi
nese vessels of wur kout nailing up and down tho har
bor, in front of our house, from tlvo o’clock in tho
morning until two o’clock in tho aftcronon, firing
continually on the boats of the insurgents, which ex
hibited tho 44 excellency ” oi which I spoke, viz: 44 not
a man killed or wounded on cither side.” About two
o’clock iu the afternoon, the tide turned—I mean the
tide of waters—^ favor of, tbe insurgents, accompa-
. nlod by a fine breeze which euabled them to como up
rapidly. The Imperialists remembering tho old and
wise maxlra that 44 prudence la tho better part of val
or,” ceased firing and got out of harm’s way os fast
aspossible.
This great battle being over the insurgents com
menced landing their forces, which was accomplished
without difficulty. During the afternoon, they were
engaged in plundering the "Mandarin” establish
ment and othir government offices outside the city
walls. Some or them they burned. Towards evening,
they entered tbl city, when the officers of the Impe
rial government fled. The soldiers who did not be-
como rebels, fulowed the example of the officers.—
Messrs. Doty, tyartwoll and myself visited tbo chief
of tho rebel fortes, to see whether some arrangement
might not be uade for the security of the persons and
property of tie missionaries. They profess to be
friendly to iortigners. In fact, both sides spem dis

into the'handsof the insurgents. The first named is
a large city about 40 miles west of Amoy. The other,
some 30 miles lorth. You will think it strange when
I say that tire rebels of the North have the Scriptures
in circulation among them. Their law is the ten

worship one Goi and trust in one Savior, Jesus Christ.
Some of their books, which they circulate, are excel
lent; others bare superstitions connected witb them.
The only way we can account for this discrepancy
among them is,that some of them are genuine Chris
tians, and others are fanatics, and others,again, have
associated with them merely for worldly gain. We
live in a strangfl time. If tbe insurgents are success
ful, tho whole empire will doubtless be thrown open
to tbe preaching of the Gospel of Christ. If they
should fail, wc think the way of the Gospel will be

One of the engineers on board the steamer Planter
was landed from that boat at Bayou Sara on Sunday
evening last, about 4 o’clock. He went to the Plan
ters'Exchange Hotel to obtain lodging.-*, nnd tho pro
prietor being absent, the bar-keeper told him he
could remain there until the proprietor como in. Tho
man had the yellow fever; and so soon as the propri
etor came, h« tolil him that it was impossible for him
to accommodate him, as his boarders would all leave
him in the event of ills cluing so ; but said that lie
would have him removed to other quarters and furn
ish him with a bed nnd other conveniences. He was
accordingly, between the hoars of 12 aud 1 o’clock on
Sunday night, moved into a warehouse which was
unoccupied, on Sun street, and tho proprietor of the
hotel accompanied him and remained with him until
8 o'clock in the morning.
The next morning tlicr man got np and went to tlio
steamboat landing to get a passage on a steamboat
for New Orleans, but the captain refused to Like him.
Ho then went back to the liouso on Sun street, when
some persons residing in the neighborhood of tho
house wlure he had been taken the night previous ob
jected to his remaining there, as they apprehended
danger from so neat a proximity to the fatal disease.
He was accordingly token from thence to a house
near the Railroad Depot, out of the limits of tho cor
poration, on Monday evening. A kind gentleman at
tended to him on Monday night, and on Tuesday
morning lie was placed in charge of some persons,
and while they were temporarily absent he got up
and left the house, and was, about twenty-four hours
afterwards, found dead in the weeds, near the premi
ses. A jury of inquest was immediately called to
gether aud returned a verdict of" Died of yellow fe

It seems to be tho wish of the Democratic party in
this District, as expressed by correspondents through
tho Federal Union, and by that paper also, which
may bo considered the orgau of the party in Hie Dis
trict, that our fellow-citizen, Mr. R. \V. Flournoy,
should be announced ns their candidate for Congress.
We believe, that while Mr. Flournoy has had'no de
sire of being placed in the position of a candidate, and
has hitherto declined being considered os one, yet lie
would forego his own inclinations in the matter, and
submit to the solicitations of his friends, if he could
thereby serve them any more acceptably than in tho
rank and tile. This is our opinion, and we say as
much in reply to inquiries at nome and from abroad.
Here, his friends would gladly have him iu the field,
and it has been suggested to m by a number of them,
to place his name in the Democratic ticket for that
office, but we have no authority to do so, and think
he would rather toe matter should be subjected to a
more formal test^-Sanderxville Georgian, 23d.

The instinct and duty of self-preservation and pro

larging -trade with that Island, will not render it dif
ficult to dotermioed how the Americau people will

England, in China and dofended by John Quinov Ad

unjust and absurd restrictions and block up tho fair

on our steamers. Witness the violation of our mails
after having been placed on board our ships and in

tbo industry and growth of one of the roost magnifi

Tho danger of its falling into foreign and powerful

object or national and international interest. If
Spain will uotsull us Cuba, but will guarantee that it

Georgia Military Institute.
Mr. Editor : Some of the agreeable memories of
my early life were vividly recalled, by a recent visit
to the Georgia Military Institute, in the vicinity of
Marietta. This institution was founded by the enter-
prising and energetic zeal of Ha present acompliahed
Superintendent. Maj. A. V. Brumby. It is Btiil of
recent origin—it would be unjust to any, still in its
infancy—for its-healthy and vigorous growth has al
ready pushed it to maturity. I had tho pleasure to
witness, about a year ago, a public examination of
the cadets, in tbo circle of sciences aud Setters taught
in this institution. I was surprised at tbe expertness
aud accuracy in the solution of the difficult problems
in analytical and descriptive geometry, and the case
with which they pursued the intricate analysis of the
Defferuntial and Integral Calculus. I was surprised,
not because tho difficulties of the higher mathemati
cal analysis were surmounted by the pupils of a Mili
tary Academy uuder the superintendence of a gradu
ate or its great and finished model, tho U. S. M. A. at
West Point, but that tho inmates of a new-born in
stitution should so soon reach such excellent mental
discipline; These results are, doubtless, duo in part
to the system—tho combination of mental training
with the habits of precision, accuracy, method und
dispatch superinduced by martial exercises and mili
tary government.
But much of the credit belongs to the spirit in
which tho conception of the system is carried out hy
tho Superintendent, the Commundant, Cant. Robert
son and tho other officers. It is easier to imitate the
scholarship than the soldiership of West Point, At
tbe National Institution, the pruning kuilb is un
flinchingly applied to pare uwny hurtful branches and
funguB excrescences. Punishment falls unerringly
upon the idle, tlio wayward, the stupid and the in
corrigible. The Authorities say to the Cadet 44 go
and he goeth.” The great difficulty is to apply this
rigor in an institution, private in sonic of its features,
and almost exclusively voluntary in the attendance
and obedience of tho members, Maj. Brumby und
Capt. Itobertoon (I apeak of the officers with whom
I am personally acquainted) seem to have discovered
the means of surmounting tills difficulty. I eaw tliu
44 squad drill ” of tlio " new Cadets.” I have Been
tlio same thing before 44 many a time and oft.” It
was literally the same thing—tlio new recruit master
ing tlio mysteries of the school of the soldier—fling
ing himself into all possible shapes, and fancying
such constraint, such pains and self-imposed penal
ties, such galvanic twistings of tlio body, were imita
tions oi tho case and graco of the practiced soldier.
Nevermind, my young friends, "practice makes
perfect.” I/mk at your company nnd battalion drills.
Seo wliat results your commandant, the polished sol
dier, Captain Robertson, has wrought from just snob
material as you now are. Did you ever see the form
less, unsightly mass of clay in the hands of the pot
ter gradually assuming shape and comeliness, and
finally coming out a beautiful vessel, "fit for tho mas
ter’s use?" In other days 1 have seen a much more
awkward lump of humanity than can bo found on
44 Military Hill," by tho transforming influence of the
sqund drill, become a model soldier. You might as
well expect to read without learning the alphabet, os
to drill witli the ease, the graco, and accuracy of ac
complished soldiers, without learning the balance
and obliquo steps, the facings, the wheelings, the
eyes right and left, and all other puzzles of the squad
exorcises. I was delighted—and proud too, to ob
serve tbo accuracy and perfection of tho company
aud battalion drills, under the instruction of Captain
Robertson.
If any one thinks I am writing a puff, he is greatly
mistaken. I am proud of the success of the Georgia
Military Institute. I am proud or it because it was
founded by an alumnas of West Point, and because
this floarisliitig institution is in my native State. I
hope Georgia in her noble zeal for educational enter
prises, railroads, and internal improvements gener
ally, will not overlook this military Bchool, but con
tinue to foster and cherish with a yet more liberal
hand an institution which cannot fall to do credit to
her iqgniflcence. If Maj. Brumby has done so much
with such limited meaus, what may we not expect
from him if supplied with adequate resources, which
"the Empire State of the South” is so fully able to
placo at his control.

How to Avoid Infection.
There is a touching story, told in one of the New
Orleaus papers, of two young men who sat up with a
Bick friend, caught the fever, and died. There have,
doubtless, been many more such cases. The infec
tion, in these instances, was probably communicated
from tho breath of the invalid, or arose from the im
pure air of tho room, the result of bad ventilation.—
In either cose a very simple precaution would possi
bly have saved the lives of tbe watchers. If the cham
ber had been ventilated downwtyds, the pestilential
atmosphere of tho plnce would have been carried off
in a safo direction, and the attendants at the sick
bed, breathing fresh air entering from above, would
havo escaped infection. Tho Sick-wnrds at the Phila
delphia Alms House are ventilated in this way. Be
fore t >is method of ventilation was adopted, nurses
and physicians were continually taking typhus and
other fevers, from patients ou whom they waited;
but since its introduction, not a single instance has
occurred, if we are rightly informed, in which either
nurse or physician has been infected. It is, perhaps,
not always possible to have such ventilation in a pri
vate house ; but where it can be secured, it affords
an almost certain security to watchers.
We believe that the latuDr.Capman hold that thero
existed on atmosphere of infection around every per
son sick of typhus and similar fevers. If we are not
mistaken ulso, he considered tills atmosphere to ex
tend about four feet from the body. While the nui>e,
physician or visitor kept outside of or above this at
mosphere, there was, ho thought, little risk of Infec
tion. Other physicians have held nearly similar
views. Still others Iiave taught that infection was
communicated from the breath of tho patient. In tho
latter cose the peril run by tho nurse or physician is
considerable, as tlio breath naturally ascends, and
would bo nearly certain to be inhaled by a person
stooping over a sick-bed. But, in whichever of these
ways tho infection is communicated, it is plain a
downward ventilation affords the best protection to
visitors. The breath of the invalid, the pestilential
effluvia emanating from his pores, are snekod as If it
were downwards, Dy the process of ventillation, and
never allowed to rise to the level of the physician or
nurse’s mouth, so as to be inhaled. On the contrary,
pure air is continually entering from above,and forms
the atmosphere which such persona breathe. We are
not aware in how many.publio institutions this down
ward ventilation has been introduced, but it seems to
it should be adopted whorever infectious diseases are
to be nursed.—Philadelphia JSvening Bulletin.
Heavy showers fell on Wednesday and Thursday in

the fracture or a leg, while tho remainder of tho com
pany wore variously and injuriously affected, either by
wounds received In the wars, or disease contracted in
the service, and by old age. There was a toll veteran
prominent in tho group, who for three and thirti
yeura had fought under his country’s flag in the Blue!
Hawk, Florida, Mexican, and other campaigns. He
appeared to be about sixty years of ago, waa straight
