Soldiers’ Health. 1. In any ordinary campaign, sickness disables or destroys three times as many as the sword. 2. On a march, from April to Novem ber, the entire clothing should he a colored tiannel shirt, with a loosely buttoned collar, cotton drawers, woolen pantaloons, shoes and stockings, and a light-colored felt hat, with broad hiim *o prottet the eyes and tace from the glare ol the sun and from the tain, and a substantial hut not heavy coat wlien • If duty 3 Suu-sii ke is most effectually preven ted by wearing a silk handkeictiief in the ci ow nos i in- hat. 4 C’d'iivd hlarikt fs are best, and it lined ‘. t iron drilling the warmth and dura bility aie doubled, while the protection a gaiiist dampness trom lxitig on the ground is almost com j lete 5 Never lit- t.r sit down on the grass or hare earih tor a moiiiMit ) rather use your hat —a handketehief even, is i great pro tection. The warmer you site, the greater need tor this precaution, as a damp vapor is immediately g nerated, to he absorbed hv the clothing, and to cool you off too raj >idly. G. While marching, or on oilier active duty, the more thirsty you are, the more essential it is to safety of life itself, to rinse out the mouth two or three times, and then take a swallow of water at a time, at short intervals. A brave French genetal, on it forced march, tell dead on the instant, b\ drinking largely of cold water, whtn snow was on the ground. 7. Abundant sleep is essential to bodily efficiency, and to that alertness of mind which is all-important in an engagement ; and few things more certainlv and more el fectually prevent sound sleep than eating ! heartily after sundown, esj.ecially after a ! heavy march or desjierate battle. 8. Nothing is more certain to secure en | durance and capability or long-continued ! effort, than the avoidance of every thing as i a drink except Cold water. Not excluding ! coflee at breakfast. Drink as little as pos j eihle, even of cold water. 9. After any sort of exhausting effort, a cup ot coffee, hot or cold, is an admirable sustainer of the strength, until nature be | gins to recover herself. 10. N< ver eat heartily just before a great undertaking ; because the nervous power is irresistibly drawn to the stomach to man age tite food eaten, thus drawing off that sujijdy which the brain and muscles so much need. 11. If persons will drink brandy, it is incomparably hater to do so after an effort than before ; for it can give only a transit nt [strength, lasting but a few minutis ; but | as it can never be known how lonir any giv ;en tfibrt is to be lie j> t in continuance, and |if longer than the tew minutes, the body | becomes more feeble than it would have been without the stimulus, it is clear that its use before an effort is always hazardous, and is always unwise. J 2. Never go to sleep, especially after a great effort, even in hot weather, without some covering over you. ]3. Under all circumstances, rather than lie down on ihe bare ground, Sib ih the hol low of two logs j laced together, or across several Sfntdler jiiccesot wood, laid side by side ; or sit on your hat, b ailing against a tree. A naji of ten or fifteen minute 1 * in that position will refresh you more than an hour on the bare earth, wi.li tiie addition al advantage ot p< rtect safety. 14. A cut is loss dangerous than a bul let-wound, and heals more rapidly. 1.3. It ir-aii at.v wound the blood spirts ■ it! it. j ‘s, instead ot a steady stream, you wiiidn* in a tew minutes unless i; is reme died ; In cause an artery lots been diviibd, ami that takes i lie blood direct from (lie ti mu ain of life. To stop this instantly, tie a hainlkt n hies or other cl tli very loosely F>LTW KLN ihe wound and the heart ; put a stick, bayonet, or ramrod between^t lie skin and the handkerchief, uid twist it a rouml until the bleeding ceases, and keep it thus until the surgeon arrives. IG. It the blood flows in a slow, regular stream, a vein has been jiierced. and the handkerchief must be on the other side of the wound from the heart ; that is, lelotu the wound. 17. A bullet through tlie abdomen (bel ly or stomach) is more certainly fatal than it aimed at the head or heart ; for in the latter cases the ball is often glanced off by the bone, or follows round it under the skin ; but when it enters the stomach or bowels, from any direction, death is inevit able but is scarcely ever instantaneous. Generally the person lives adav or two with perfect clearness of intellect, not suffering greatly. The practical bearing ofthis state ment in reference to the great future is clear., 18. Let the whole beard grow, but not longer than some three inches. This strengthens and thickens its growth, and thus makes a more perfect protection for the lungs against dust, and of the throat against winds and cold in winter, while in the summer a greater perspiration of the skin is induced, with an increase of evapo ration ; hence, greater coolness of the parts on the outside, w T hile the throat is less fe verish, thirsty, and dry. 19. Avoid fats and fat meats in summer and in all warm days. 20. Whenever possible, take a plunge into any lake or running stream every mor ning, as 60on as you get up ; if none at hand, endeavor to wash the body all over as soon as yon leave your bed, for persona cleanliness acts like a charm against an diseases, always either warding them off ‘THE UNION OF THE STATESi —DISTINCT.

Keep thie hair of the head closely cut, spy witliin an inch and a half of the scalp in every j>art, repeated on the first of each month, and wash the whole scalji plentifully in cold water cvey morning. 22. Wear woolen stockings and moder ately loose shoes, keeping the toe and fin ger-nails always nr close. 23. It is more important to wash the feet well every niuhf, than to wash the face and hands of mornings ; because it aids to k'-eji the skin and nails soft, and to jirevent dialings, blisters, and corns, all ot which greatly inteifeje with a soldier’s du ty. 24. The most universally safe position, alter all stunuings, hurts and wounds, is that ot being placed on the bock, the head being elevated three or four inches only ; aiding more than any one thing else can do, to equalize and restore the proper cir culation of the blood. 25. The more weary you are after a march or other work, tlie more easily will you take cold, if you remain still after it is over, unless, the moment you cease motion, you throw a coat or blanket over vour shoulders. This precaution should he taken in tlie warmest weather, especial ly if there is even a slight air stirring. 26. The greatest physical kindness you can show a severely wounded comrade is first to place him on his back, and then run with all your might for some water to drink; mu a second ought to be lost, li no vessel is at hand, take your hat, if no hat take your shirt, wring it out once, tie the arms in a knot, as also the lower end, thus making a bag, open at the neck only. I A fleet person can convey a bucket full half mile in this way. I’ve seen a dying man clutch at a single drop of water from the finger’s end, with voraciousness of a I famished tiger. 27. If wet to the skin by rain or by | swimming rivers, keeji in motion until the clothes are dtied, and no harm will result. i * # # 28. Whenever it is jiossible, do, by all means, you have to use water for cooking or drinking from ponds or sluggish streams boil it well, and when cool, shake it or stir it, so that the oxygen ot the ah shall get to it, which greatly improves it for drink ing. This boiling arrests the process of fermentation which arises from the presence of organic and inorganic impurities, thus tending to prevent cholera and all bowel diseases. It there is no time for boiling at least strain it through a cloth, even if you have to use a shirt or trowser-leg. 29. Twelve tneu are hit in battle, dres j sed in red, where there are only five, dress ed in a bluish grey; a difference of more than two to one ; green, seven ; brown six. 30 Water can be made almost ice cool in the hottest weather, by closely envelop ing a filled canteen, oruther vessel, with Woolen cloth kept plentifully wetted and exposed. 31. While on a march, lie down the i moment you halt for a rest ; every minute Sjiettt in that position refreshes more than five minutes standing or loitering about. 32. A daily evacuation of the bowels is indispensable to bodily health, vigor and endurance; this is jiromoted in many eases hy stirring a tablesjiootifn 1 of'corn (Indian) meal in a glass of water, and drinking it oil rising in the morning. 39. Loose Bowels, namely, acting more than once a (lav, with ii feeling of debility afterwards, is the first step towards chole ra; the best remedy, is instant and perfect quietude of the body, eating nothing but b died rice with or without boiled milk: in more decided cases, a woolen flannel, with two thicknesses in front, should be bound tightly around the abdomen, especially if marching is necessary. 34. To have ‘‘been to the wars ” is a life long hon<M', increasing with advancing years, while to have died in defense of vour country will he the boast and the glo ry of your children’s children. so ii v olTTn"t"ek RS. The Duke of Wellington occupied him self a good deal with details of very much the same character as those which we pro pose to speak of in a few brief papers.— lie knew how much they had to do with the success and efficiency of any army ; and while in command in Portugal and B]>aiti, found time to discuss in his corres pondence the size of “catriji kettles.” FOOT T ROOFS. 1. In the organization of infantry volun teer companies, expensive, showy uniforms should be avoided —but strictest unitormi ty of color and fashion of garments should be observed. The Blouse is recommended, both for case of manufacture and for comfort. If a light grey color were generally adopted, it would be found mostcoinfortablefor a sum mer campaign ; and then when the compa nies were regimented, there would he little it any striking diversity of uniforms. There is no need for lace or braid on the biouses of the privates—they make good “marks” for the enemy, and should not be used for foot troops. Non-commissioned officeiscan be distinguished l>\ a chevron (rafrerslmpe) of braid on the arms —point or ridge down just above the elbow for sergeants, and be tween elbow and wrist lor corporals. Pants and trowsers should be of same color and material, with Blouse, cut full around hips and knees ; and when practic able, leather gaiters should be provided a la Zouave , to be worn outside of pants. Shoes, of home made quality—broad and stont in soles, high quarters, and low broad heels —leather laces, and kept carefully lac ed when worn Above all, when on active service, inclu ding guard duty, every foot volunteer should wear homemade woolen socks, also flannel shirts. * Be warmly dressed when on night ser vice. Every man should be provided with an overcoat of easy fit, with small cape, and skirts reaching a few inches below the kn ees ; as nearly uniform in color and ma- I ierial with Blouse as practicdde. The skirts should he arranged to button back when on march, so as to give free play to the limbs. At least, one good heavy colored blanket should he provided for each man. Leather covered Knapsacks are expen sive and heavy. A small Knapsack of Us naburg cotton, painted black, can be made without difficulty in any locality in the State. These are the most convenient wavs of keeping the essentials of a volunteer’s Kit—his changes of socks and flannels, his brushes and, at least, two tow r Is. The head cover if practicable, should be a light grey drab or brownfelt hat, worn without feather, and, as in civil life—if black felt hats have to be Used a white cot ton cover in very warm weather will be found comfortable. 2. Daily attention to cleanliness of per son is of the utmost importance, and com !>any officers should make this a watchful duty to enforce—the men should be made to bathe their whole bodies as often as practicable, and never go to sleej) after a day’s march without washing their feet— tlie body bath in the morning before the march. 3. When a comjiany Is organised,*it should be exercised by marches over tlie country several times a week —marches of increased length. This is a practice of French officers —an essential part of the drill of that practical military people. 4. Badly cooked food is the bane of the volunteer soldier. ADVENTU A YANKEE SHOWMAN. It is so seldom that we find anything a museing in these periods times, that we have thought that the adventures of Arte mils Ward, during his Hasty exodus from the South, might be a relief to our readers from the monotony of war news—although “Ohi Waxwork’s” account is not altogeth er m o"r favor It is necessary to promise that Artemus’ .s bow Ims been “confisca ted,” and himself, after divers indignities to his jierson, sent to jirison at Montgome ry, where he had an interview with -Presi ded! Davis, who generously set him at lib erty notwithstanding Artemus had threat ened the President with an attack, hy the “B iltlinsville Mounted Horse Cavalry,” of which valorous corps he is Captain. Ar temus tells a tale in jest, which is a very good satire upon some of the stories of out rages told by the Northern papers iu seri ous earnest. — Constitutionalist. ARTEMUS WARD ]N THE SOUTH —HIS TRIALS AND ADVENTURES. I had a narrer scajie from the sonny South. “The swings arid aiTers of oiltra jus fortin,” alluded to by Hamlick, warn’t nothing in comparison to my troubles. I came pesky near swesirin siini prdfarie oaths mors'n onct, but I hope I didn’t doit for I’ve promised she whose name shall be nameless (except that her initials is Betsv J.,) tint I’ll jine the meet in House tit Bal dinsville jest as soon as I can scrape money enuff together so I can ’ford to be piuss in good stile, like"my w< althy nabers. But if I am confiisticated egani I’m fra id I shall continuer on in my present benited state for sum time. I figgered conspicynsly in many thrillin scenes in my tower from Montgomry to my lmmsted, and on sevril occasions I thought “the grate komit pajier” wouldn’t never be inriched no more with my lubrications.— Al ter hiddin adoo to Jefferson I). I started for the depo. I saw a nigger sittin on a fence a jilayin on a banjo. “My Afrikin Brother,” sed I, cotin from a Track I onct red, “3 T ou belong to a very interestin race. Your master is goin to war excloosively on youraccount.” “Yes, boss,” he replied, and he went on jdayin the banjo, larfin all over and openin’ his mouth wide enuff to drive in an old fashioned 2 wheeled chaise. The train of cars in which I was to trust my wallerble life was the scaliest jickytiest lookin’ lot of consarns that I ever saw on wheels afore. “\\ hat time does this string of second hand cofins leave ?” I inquired of the depot master. He sed direckly, and I went in & sot down. 1 hadn’t rrior’n fair ly squatteed afore a dark lookin’ man with a swinisterexpression onto His countenance entered the cars, and lookin’ very sharp at me, lie asked what was my jiriucijiles ? “Secesli !” I ansered. “I’m a Dissolu ter, I'm in fevor of Jeff. Davis, Bouregard, Pickens, Cajit. Kidd, Bloobeard, Munroe Edards, the devil, Mrs. Cunniugham, and all the rest of’em.” “You’re in favor of the war ? “GVrtingly. By all means. I’m in fa vor of this war and also of the next war.— I’ve been in favor of the next for over six teen years !” “War to the knife!” sed the man. “Blud, Eargo, bind!” sed, tho them words isn’t origgerual with me. Them words wasrit by Shakespeare, who is ded. His mantle fell onto the author of “Seven Sisters,” who’s goin to have a Spring over coat made out of it. We got under way at larst, an’ proceed ed on our prney at about the rateof speed which is ginerally observed by properly conducted funeral processions. A hansum young gal, with a red omsketer bar on the back jiart of her hed,and sassy little black hat tip over her furred, sot in the seat with me. She wore a little Sesesh flag pin’d on to her lmt, and she was goin to her troo love, who had jined the Southern army, j and so bold and gay. So she told me. She was chily and 1 offered her my blanket. “Father livin ?” I axed. “Yes ser.” “Got anytJncles ?” “A heap. Uncle Thomas is ded, tho.” “Peace to Uncle Thomas’s ashes, and success to him ! I will be your Uncle Thomas ! Lean on me, my pretty Sesesh er, and linger in Blissful repose !” She slept as secoorlv as in her own housen, and didn’t disturb the solium stillness of the night with ’ary snore. At the first station a troop of Sojers en tered the cars and inquired if “Old Wax Works” was on board. That was the dis respective stile in which they referred to me. “Becawz if Old Wax Works is on berd,” sez a man with a face like a double breasted lobster, “we are going to hang Old Wax Works !” “My illustrious and patriotic Bummers!” se2l, a gitting tip arid tafcin ors my Shap po, “if you allude to A. Ward, it’s my pie sin dooty to inform you that he’s ded. He saw the error of His ways at 15 tninits past 2 yesternay, and stabbed himself with a stuffed sledstake, dynin in five beautiful tabloos to slow music 1 His last words was : “My perft-sliernal career is over ! 1 jerk no more !” “And who be you ?” “I’m a stoodent in Senator Benjamin’s offiss. I’m goin iip Nortli to steal slim j spoons and things for the Southern Army.” This was satisfactory, and the intossica ted trooj.ers went ors. At the next sta tion, the pretty little Secesher awoke and sed she must git out there. I bid her a kind adoo and giv her sum pervisions. “Accept my blessin’ and this hunk of ginger bred !’ I sed. She thankt me much ly and tript galy away. There's consider able human natur in a man, and I’m fraid I shall allers giv and comfort to the enemy if lie emus to me in the shape of u nice young gal. At the next station I didn't get ors so | easy. I was dragged out of the cars and rolled in the mud tor several minits for the purpuss of “takin’ the conseet out of me,” | as a Secesher kindly stated. I was let uj> finally, when a powerful large Secesher came up and embraced me, and to show that lie had no hard feelings •. . o agin me, jiut his nose into my mouth. 1 returned the compliment by placing my stommick suddenly agin his right foot when he kindly made a sjiittoon of my able bodied face. Actooated by a disire to see whether the Sesesher had been vaxmated, I then fastened my teeth onto his left coat- I sleeve and tote it to tile shoulder. We then vilentlv bunted our heads togetlierfor a lew minutes, danced around a and sot down in a mild puddle. We riz to our feet again & by a sudden & adroit move ment I placed my left eye agaiu the Se cesher’s list. We then rushed into each other’s arms and fell under a too boss wag on. I was very much exhausted and didn’t care about get tin u p again, but the man said lie reckoned I’d better, and I concloo ded I would. He pulled me up, but I hadn’t bin on my feet inore’n two seconds afore the ground flew up and hit me in the hed. The crowd said it was high old sport, but I couldn’t zacly see where the laftiire corue in. I rig and we embraced agin. We careered madly to a steej) bank, when 1 got tle ujijier hands of my antagonist and threw him into tlie raveen. He fell about forty feet, striking a grindstone pretty hard. I understand lie was injured. I haven’t heard from the grindstone. A man in a eockt hat cum up and sed he felt as the a apology was doo me. There was a mistake. The crowd had taken me for another man ! I told him not to men tion it, axed him if hie wife and little ones was so’s so be about, and got on board the train, which had stopped at that station ‘2O minits for refreshments.” I got all 1 wanted. It was the hartiest meal 1 ever et. I was rid on a rale the next day, a bunch of blazin fire crackers bein tied to my coat tales. It was a fine spectycal in a dramat ic pint ot view, but I didn’t enjoy it. I had other adventers of a startlin kind, but why continuer? Why lasserate tlie Public Boozom with these here things ? Suffysit to say I got across Mason and Dixie’s line safe at last. I made tracks for my humsted, but she with whom I'm harmist for life failed to recognize, in the emashiated bein’ who stood before her, the gnshin youth of forty six summers, who had left her only a few months afore. But I went into she pan try. ami brought out a certin bla< k bottle. liaissin it to my lips I sed, “Here’s to yeu old gal !” I did it sonatral that she know ed me at once. ‘ Those form ! Them voice! That nntral stile of doin’ things ! Tis lie!” she cried, and rushed into my arms, ‘ft was too much for her, & she fell into a swoon. I can very near swounding myself.

Indian Visitors.— Two distinguished Indians were in this city yesterday, Chilly Mclntosh and Mr. Steadham, as deputies from the Creek Nation to the* Government of the Confederate Stales. They will attend to the jirojier treaties between the Creeks and our Government, made necessary by a recent act of the Confederate Congress.— They will proceed to * Richmond at once.— Mont. Adv. - Editor and “Proprietor Volume 3 Kumkfr 29 The SujMiljr ofS.ilt. We do not rcccollect to have soon this subject alluded *o in any of the papers, and yet circumstances may very soon arise that will bring sensibly, and even painiully, to theatteution of the whole South. At present we are dependent upon Groat Britian for nearly every bushel of salt that is consumed within t w Conhde ate Slates. The quantity that is made South of the Potomac is not sufficient to salt our por ridge, and, if our information is correct it is of a quality, as to cleanness, that would condemn it the coarsest uses It the blockade of our ports happens to be maintained, for a period of not more than nine months, even in an imperfect manner, the supply of this most essential article will largely be cut off. Jn that case it may require a bale of cotton to pay for a sack of salt. Some of us may rec ollect how the salt market stood in the last war with Great Britian, and the re cords of the times tell a sad tale of the discomforts and evils of the want ot salt during the Revolutionary war. This may; therefore, again become an interest of vi i tal importance, not to every planter mere ly, but to every man that has a mouth. , A proper amount of forecast on this sub ject may save not merely a large amount of money, but a great deal of trouble and suffering. Everybody that is fortunate enough to possess, a sack of salt should guard it as carefully as he does his flour barrel. Not a grain should be wasted.— Every planter, whose farm is upon, or near the sea coast, should make salt tor himself and the country. The capital requited in its manufacture is small. During the dry months of the year large quantities might be made at a cost but slightly raking it up. If regular evapurating pans were used with fire heat, salt could be made during every month in the year, and thus, upon the low coasts of Georgia, thousands upon thous ands of bushels might be saved at less than twenty-five cents a bushel at the pans.— The Florida coasts could supply the world with this article ot prime necessity;— Surely we ought not to suffer again for what the Cieatoi has so freely betowed up on us. No more Cotton Except Hi rough the Confederate Polls The Mobile Register publishes the fol lowing enactment of Congress, at its late session.
