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 ttfebdmmiMets work, it they adopt the New York law; with slight modification it will operate well here, and cost very little. In fact those who arc jeopardizing the health Ol' their neighbors, might be rnad<" enough to cover all extra expenses, cost Of ^typresent system it tee into whose bauds |he whole affair is committed, have. such medi cal men as Drs. Harriss, J. J. Waring and Thomas, with most inti ltigeut and respecta ble citizens among their number. They are assisted, sustained, and advised by the ablest medical and legal talent in the city, and will sooo present to the public the refcult of U deliberations. Until tbdn, it* appears* ti# that we had better suspend our judgement and reset ve our criticism. A Citizen. THE PRESIDENT’S TOUR.

Si was _ dent”Johnson Farragut and the diplomatic corps. Soon after being set down at the “Southern” a large crowd coliedted in Walnut street, and called lustily for the President He answered their summons by appearing on the porUoo, and delivered the following 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 Of the governments was to be recognized’ A new government, inaugurated under this deluuet Conven tion, set up in violation of law and widiou*«tap ““‘‘ tbe people. Titan Titan -that 'bad esn ' ' government and extended univewtl francluse, as they called it, to this colored population —then the Radical Congress was to determine that a government established on negro voteB was to l* tin? government ol' Louisiana. [Voices, "Never, and 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 iwovdke W, I will tell you a few wholesome thingf thu, have been done by this Radical Congress [cheers. 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 knees. The cause I suppose, was that hav ing always been accustomed to exact obe dience, and lo have lavors asked upon their knees, when their poSittodWlecame ebaoged, 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. ]j$e gloated over the sight at the time, and he revels in the recollection of it now. ” ‘3-T.7T ,en 0llt - in a malignant form among the It was reported that the Paraguayans Par ° Ul>on t,ie AUied camp a t Cerienter. ^tttjGUisImve been reinforced by 10,000 men. •Mobile Market. **• *3.—The sales of cotton to-day were e *i middling, 30@31c.; low middling, 27@28c. m market.

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 ■»», one hundred and six resits old, manufactory hffullJHast, 'if t^e*think the — ..... - - ... health of tbe city draiands it; ■ flyWhich has been abased by as intelligent vpTveil edu cated men as “Common Sense,’’ Is a success^ and thanked by every inhabitant of that cit^ will remain, Now why can’t we have a similar Board VatuL—Boer wan here.

Ooiumtms Sum- 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. ' ^ i Yours, G. G. 8. A Prayer, Bide fKeaaarfc The Radical party claim to monopolize the < eency and all tbs piety of tbe country.
