with the above caption, signed, “Common
Sense." In that article the scheme of an in
dependent Borrd of Health is characterized
as “flatly absurd,’’ and “utterly impractica
ble,” and it is insinuated that the majority j
of the membersgircsent at the meeting of the
“Georgia Medical Society" were young men,
or it would not have endorsed such a
measure. On inquiring, we learn that Drs.
Arnold, Harries ,and Yongo were present,
and others who had tact) practicing medicine
at least ten years. ’ „
We believe we have the very best authori
ty for sayiDg that such men realize more fol
ly the necessity, and approve more kearflty
of the scheme referred to than the young
members of the profe&ton, simply because
they know better than anybody else, that
the Soud as at present constituted' hat
never and cm never benefit the city as it
grigbt and should.
Admitting that the members of the present
Board, who are not physicians Aave cordially
supported ail resolutions and recommenda
tions made and introduced by those who are,
of what practical benefit is that to ns
ciiizeus? A
None, unless such recommendations are
enforced by the Executive.
Where are the numerous reports aiid re
commendations which have from time to
time found their way from the Georgia
Medical Society and Board of Health to the
Mayor and Council ?
These two bodies have cheerfully devoted
hour after hour, and night after night, to the
consideration ot matters pertaining to the
health of this city, and although some of
their reports have been published in the city
papers, what has been the result ? Has it
removed that horrible mass of filth and cor
ruption uear the Augusta road, just over the
Canal ? It is enough to breed a peslilenee
in any city one would think. Has it con
structed and kept (n order proper and suffl;
clet drains and seweis ? Has it cleaned
and disinfected our streets, lanes, yards and
out buildings, and removed the barrels of
filth which eland in them sometimes for
days, in the hot sun and rain, to the annoy
ance of everybody with eyes and noses ?
If not, why ?
Is it the fault ot the Board ? Do they ne
glect their duty, or have they no power to
act in the matter ?
We are not very well acquainted with
Drs. Thomas, Waring, Chariton, and a ma
jority of the members, but judging trom pub
lished accounts and what we have learned
of their proceedings, we believe they con
stitute as efficient a body of gentlemen, as
have ever labored to improve the health of
this city, without hope of pecuniary reward.
Their ability certainly entitles their recom
mendations to respectful attention, and
when they unite in saying that it is useless
for them to meet and recommend, when
they are not heeded, it is evident something is
wrong somewhere.
Had it been otherwise, nothing would or
could have been said. Citizens generally,
care very little how the city is kept in a
cleanly, healthy condition, it it is only done :
but the misfortune is lhai it is not done,
Even “Common Sense" admits that we.
need a reform, but proposes that it be ac
complished by “the municipal authorities
delegating power to the Board.
Vary well! Why .havn’t they doue it
months ago ? -
Why havn’t they abated hundreds of nuis
ances reported to thfcm, or caused 'the same
to be done? If they could delegate the
power to do it, they certainly ought lo have
done so tong before warm weather came on.
It would have beeu far lifter to have
“delegated" power to the “Board of Health
or any other man," than had things in their
present condition. A rauge of buildings on
one side of a street in Yamacraw (Walnut
street) are so arranged that whenever it raine
heaavily the contents of the vaults on the
other side of the narrow street are deposited on
their floors, when a little drainage would pre
vent it—this on the authority of M, Naylor.
In that case the 1 '“delegated” would proba
bly remove an accumulation of rnbbisb and
filth which lias blocked up Gordon street
lane, near the square fronting the Medical
College. They might also discover, whence
proceeded an odor observable near the rear
of a house on South Broad street, second
door west of Bull, and numerous other
places. “Common Sense” declares an in
dependent Board of Health “absurd’ and
“impracticable.” We desire to ask, if be
has read anything of the constitution or pro
ceedings of the various Boards in large cities
North? Has the Board of Health, which
daring the past few mouths has savedthous-
ands upon thousands oflives in the city of
power, we do not need; and it is time we had
something better. If “delegated ’ power will
do, we are willing, but experience elsewhere
proves that Health Commissioners who areK
Mtydependeol on City Councils for authority
m>-better. .'
We wlah no half way work or patch-work.
Wise men benefit by the experience of others,
and we do not propose to blunder on in the
same paths our grand-fal her* trod before
sanitary science, as such, Aas-knotyii
cannot afford , to try experiments; what
phopsfUbe bSSt elsewhere we wish here. Let

address: • ' t
Fellow-Citizens of St Louis:—In being introduced
to you to-night, it is not for the purpose of making a
speech, lt is true I am proud to meet so many feliow
citizens here on this occasion, and under the tavora-
ble circumstances that I do-so. [.Cry, “How about our
Biritiah -subjects ?”j We will attend to John Bull
after a while, so far as that is concerned. [Laughter
and loud cheers.] 1 have just stated that 1 am not
Here for the purpose of making a speech, but alter
being introduced, simuly to tender you my cordial
thanks for the welcome yoirbave give a me In jnuf
midst. [A voice—“Ten thon^and nrekolhes/ , hurrahs
and cheers.]
Thank yon, sirs. I wish it was in my power to ad
dress you fnder favorable circumstances on some of
the questions that agitate and disturb the public mind
at this time—questions which have grown out of a
fiery ordeal-that we have passed through, aud which 1
think as important as that we have just passed by.
Though the time has come when it seems to hks that
all ought to be prepared for peace,* the rebellion being
suppressed, aud the shedding of blood being stop
ped. the sacrihce of life beit*g suspended and stayed,
it seems that the time has arrived When wj shpgld
have peace—when the bleeding arteries should bbtsfeV
up. (Voices: New Orleans. Go on.) 'PerhapD tf yon
had a word or two on the subject of New Orleans, you
might understand more about it than you do (laugh
ter and cheers); aud if you will go back aud ascertain
the cause of the riot at New Orleans, perhaps you
would not be so prompt in calling out “New Orleans.”
if you will take up the riot at Ne v Orleans and trace it
back to its source, or to it- immediate cause, you will
find out who was responsible for the blood that was
shed there. If you will take up the riot at New Or
leans aud trace it b*ck to the Radical Congress, (great
cheering and cries of “Bully,”) you will hud Uiat the
not at New Orleans was substantially plauned. If you
will take up the proceedings hi their caucus, you will
understand that they knew (cheers) that a convention
was to be called which Was extinct, and that the in
tention was to organize a new government to. enfran
chise one portion of the population, called the colored
population, who had just been emancipated, aud at
the same time disfranchise white fnen. (Great cheer
ing.) When you design to talk about New Orleans
(conrusiou) you ou^ht to understand what you are
talking about.
When you iead the speeches that were made, or
take up the frets on Friday aud Saturday before that
Convention sat, you will hud that speeches wire made,
incendiary in their character, aud exciting that por
tion of the population—the black population—to arm
themselves aud prepare for the shedding of blood.
[A voice, “That’s so,” aud cheers.] You will also hud
jjat that Convention did assemble in violation of law,
aud the intention of that Convention was to supersede
the recognized authorities in the State governments
of Louisiana, which has been recognized by the Gov
ernment of the United States; and every man en
gaged in that rebellion in that Convention, with the
intention of superseding and upturning the civil gov
ernment, which has beeu recognized by the Govern
ment of the United States, 1 say was a traitor
to the Constitution of the United States [cheers]; and
hence yon find that another rebellion wascommeuced,
having its origin in the Radical Congress. These men
were to go there, a government was to be organized,
and the one in existence in Louisiana was to be sus
pended, set aside aud overthrown. You say you talk
tame about Nevy Orlean®—and there the question was
about to come up, wh«n they had established their
government—a question of political powers—which

cheers, and "Hurrah for Andy.”]
So much for the New Orleans riot, and there was
the cause and the origin of tbe blood that was shed;
and every drop of blood that was shed is upon their
skirfis, and they are Tesponaltle for it. [Cheers.] I
could t<% this thing a little closer but will hot do it
tore to night. But when you talk about New Orleans,
and about the causes aud consequences that resulted
from a proceeding of that kind, perhaps, as I have
pgovaaed question 3 of thin kind, thonghitdocs col

m l3 am going to speak of a matter winch is
trlit in the socily of the fflbl blso
why they are easily governed. We hear it
said every that they are a high spirited
people, and tiught to De conciliated; but
this struck me as. a distinguished trait—that
haying for about twenty yt-arh of my fife been
' i the practice of Criminal latr, I have seen
usbands pleading ff>r their Wives, fathers
:or children, and childreir for parents, but I
uevef saw mortal kneel 1 ' to “mortal-- Yet,
whefiT; traf in New Orleans; it was An eveijr
day occurrence that women, splendidly
dressed in si Sts and satins, would come into
my office and ask for lavors on their benued

aud new masters appeared, they i—mi d
the position they bad once taught, as proper.
And therefore, t say, talk not to me that
those people cauuot be subdued.”
The Baltimore : Gaz<jtte, in noticing the
above, eloquently remarks: ‘ “He has no doubt
lp&ed upon more than one woman kneeling
at his feet T - And to any man whose heart
was human what a story would that picture
have told! " What more eould have been
needed to have enabled him to fathom the
depth of the humiliation in which the sup-
phant bpdbcouglll liaisulf toptangs, to guage
/flat intensity of agony and fear that mad
dened her, and to measure the boundless
tenderness iuul l«ve of dfa beprta that could
submit to sue so OkanRy tor |he sake of
others^ What could-have been added to the
leeno that would have told him more plainly
that he must be a brute and tyrant who could
bring a woman to a pass like that? How
co^ld they have said more frankly that they
knew his vain and savage nature could only
be mollified by their abasement, and that for
the sake of those they loved they had con-
’ sCnted to the painful sacrifice ? No man who
did not disgrace the name and uniform of a
soldier w#uld have been apt to witness such
a spectacle more than onre. Any man who
was not a living dishonor even to the mother
soya him would have tyeAA'touched with
pity: But" this man glories in the thought
that he has brought women to their knees.

saving more business and trade to that city
than would have paid the ‘ expeasek tmty
Boards just like it. “Common Sense"Is ter
ribly atraid of “converting orir present eco
nomical system into an expensive and intri
cately organized corporation," and there, after
all, seems to be the tender spot—it touches
the gentleman’s pocket perhaps. If tbe citi
zens ot Savannah agree with the gentleman
to oppose all efforts at sanitary reform which
involve the expenditure of a dollar, and are
willing to see the present state of tilings con
tinue, and epidemic after epidemic sweep
over the city, destroying not only life but
ruiniDg business to an extent IbNf would Lay
the expenses of forty such Boards of Hertti
as we require, then we have no more to say;
but we have no Idea that such is the case. ,
The intelligent men of Savannah hava/for*
a long time, admitted the necessity of a
change. Why? Because they see thewea-
ent system is a failure; not from want of
energy, intelligence or ability of tbe present
Board, but because experience has proved
the system bad. -
Now iwhat ia the remedy for the evils we
complain of? Clearly, that tbe Board must
be differently constituted, and have such
powers granted it as are granted to similar
bodies, in New York and other large cities.
All the allusions of “Common Sense " to
“young medical men,” “Freedmen a Ba-
reacs,” and the “confusion” he asserts would
exist if the Board Were differenl'y, construct
ed, we care nothing about; he Cannot stave
off the fact that the Board of Health of New
York which to-day can order a vessel, about
to discharge s cargo, to pass to the opposite
ride of the city and do so; who can pull down
any old building in the city, or stop »large

BichmDiND, Vi.; Sept 10, I860.
My Dkab.Heuald:—Ftmr yqars ago ttia
month I received an almost fatal wound on
Sifitk Mountain, in (Is State. In the vil-
l4g.e of Boonsboro' a poor, bat most excellent
womafi/b/ ^er tender nursing, saved my
life, and I am just now from a visit to the
Village and to her.
Surely there is no more picturesque sec
tion of America than that section of Western
-Maryland. The brightest valleys smile un
der a most careful culture, while even the
mountain slopes are covered with luxuriant
farms. ,
. Leaving Baltimore ou the Baltimore and
Ohio read, you wind your way along the Ph-
tapsco. For a .very considerable distance
west the river is lined by extensive manufac
tories—Ellicote Mills, Blysville, Hood’s
Mill and Marrottsville, are all villages af
manufacturing interest.
As you speed along ewer the double track
railway, you rush past immense trains laden
with coal, cattle aud grain—indicating the
wealth of the country through which it
courses.
As you'draw-near Frederick you enter
upon the old Carroll manor, famous for its
fertility, and made historical by the events
of the last few years.' We pass ov/ar .the
Monocaey bridge; which replaces a*e that
Gen. Jackson destroyed when here in
and ace in sight of the battfe-field of Mono-
cacy,~Vf1fSretircn. Tyler was so badly defeat
ed in 186L
Frederick is an old town and still a comely
.tees are so dear to the Confed
erate soldmr,' for here he received, when sick
and wounded, that teuder care which pre
served him lo his loved ones. I was the
guest of Mr. Godfrey Koqnty, a man" who,
of his own responsibility, trusting only in
God and the true people of Maryland, opened
a hospital for the four hundred wounded
Confederates lying in cellars and churches,
dying and neglected. He opened the rooms,
called upon tbe ladies, called upon tbe form
ers,’ ap’d by night had seventy-two beds
ready for the sufferers. He telegraphed to
Baltimore for help, and received this dis=
patch ; “Draw at sight for f10,000.’’ Let
our merchants remember this when they
come, lo buy goods.
From Frederick to Boonsboro we go by
stage. May tbe day never come when so
charming a ride will be lost. Over tbe turn
pike, on each side of which are such glorious
forms, we dash along and soon reach the Ca-
tocin mountains- When we reach its sum
mit we have tbe brightest view that Mary
land and I must think any. other State pre
sents. Every, foot of the bright valley is
most highly cultivated, and yields its rich
tribute.
There, too, tbe summit of South Mountain.
There to the left Garland fell; then Reno,
who commanded the attacking column, lost
his life; and there, just there, behind that
stone fence, was .the battery, and in that
wood lay the men of my brigade. There is
the house iu whicn 1 lay when I expected
each moment would be my last. There I
sat? Gen. Lee last, sitting calmly on bis
horse and stndying a map, and there is
Boonsboro.
The political excitement here is intense.
It has been jcommonly supposed that the
mountain country ot Virginia is all Radical
My friends say not. They declare that tbe
Radicals are in the minority and will be de
feated. There are. loud, threats that con
servatives shall not rote, and a stern resolve
that if they are forbidden these freemen of
Maryland wifi know the reason tyby. God
open tbe eyes of these lawless men who fire
determined lo bold on to power at all haz
ards, fo tbe consequence, if they precipitate
the couflict.
I have never seen such wide spread alarm
as pervades all-classes. Tbe Radicals seem
defer&Kned to go to all lengths, the Conser-
wk settled in their resolve that
they shall not trample ail law uuder fool.
To impeach the President, to revoke all par
dons, to ride rough shod over every consti
tutional guarantee, to hold power at all coat,
is .their fixed line of policy.
‘1 fear tbe result if they carry the election
this fqy^aiid to accomplish this result they
are movto^ all force to the front. Yet our
friendsaNjiiopefql.

A Prayer, Bide fKeaaarfc

eency and all tbs piety of tbe country. Both are
strikingly illustrated. inUij following extract front *
