Defective teeth mar tho iiandsoineist features, and cause us to turn away our gaze with a kin ' of disgust from a countenance MM' lessly beautiful. Sound leetli tho comfort and personal appearance, tribute largely to the health oi all; rial and scrupulous attention should !>c pai them dailv. from early childhood, from the tin. « hm the first permanent tootl. makes its np- j i m-nrancc, about the sixth year. , 1 Whenever it is practicafile, every tooth in n child’s head should be minutely examined b> a careful, conscientious and skillful dentist every lew months ; and the great Importance or spe- cial attention to their Cleanliness, tho avoidance Railroad Bridge* Destroyed—Haifa 31, Hum j,^yQ L iT^ioXARY BLOOD IN THE FIELD, j would | " " ' ' ^ ader of lermiued to have it at all hazards,though re not willing to believe that the South t the Union in peril for four billions! ofoobV amihot drink*, ofthe use of Kfisi. r tlmn wood or ouilli. anil ofallilv hardrr then wood or quills, and of all dentri llix’S prepared by toiltiiewn bands, should be impressed u|*on the minds of tho young with great assiduity. Harm has been done by propagating the no tion that sugar- is injumus to the teeth, by di verting attention from real causes of destruction or decay. The eating of any amount of pure sugar cannot injure the teeth directly, because it has no residue ; it is wholly dissolved, and passes into the stomach. But let it bo roaicmliored that Hie practice of eating Sugars or camlies or any other sweet meats largely, will inevitably cause a disorder of the stomach and genera’* gases there, which will speedily undermine the health of the teeth. lty insisting too much on the fact that sugars and' candies destroy the teeth, an impression will grow that if these are mainly avoided, the person so doing will havo good teeth ; and this leads the mind sway from the necessity of keep ing the mouth dean and the stomach healthful. If these things are well done, and the teeth are kept plugged in a finished style, teeth na turally or hereditarily “poor” may be kept in a good state of preservation for many years. All forms of dyspepsia have a direct tenden-. cy to destroy the teeth. Whatever causes acid ity of the stomach is ruinous to the teeth. A tablespoonful of the purest syrup of loaf sugar, taken three times a tlay before meals, will des troy tho tone of the healthiest stomach in a ve ry short tinv*. And when it is remembered how many patent medicines arc made up in the forms of syrups and sweet lozenges, and how common the use ol them has become, it need not be wrmined at that every second or third person met on ilvo street, know s the meaning of “sour stom ch” or dyspepsia. It has been shown that if» sound tooth be steeped in syr up for some days, it becomes a soil, pulpy mass. That does not prove that it is injurious to the teeth, because it was a'deod tooth ; and, further, such a -tec-ping of a live tooth is im possibly.. The gastric juice is innocuous to a hying stomachl but at the very moment of death that same gastric juice begins to cat up • the stomach. So it is inconclusive to reason from the living to the dead, or tict term. It is urged bv many that calomel is a roost deadly ngent lo' tlio teeth, and yet if a sound too til is soaked lor weeks together in a solution of calbmei, no apparent effect whatever is pro duced on it ... So far from sugars and pure candies .injuring the teeth or- the health, they would, if used wisely and in moderation,- as sole desserts, bo actual preservatives of both” especially if al ternated, ns d.-Rserte, with fruits and lorries iri thoir natural, raw, ripe, fresh, perfect statu,"by banishing from our tables tho pestiferous pie, the haden pudding, and pastries add cakes‘of every name, which, *8 desserts,-always tempt to excesses which lay the foundation for dis coses winch torture forn lifetime ofbringspeed- fly to the grave. - • - r* Let the spirit of tliis article be distinctly un derstood. Pure sugars and candies do not in jure the teeth, exetpt indirectly by their inju dicious uso inciting acidity of stomach or dys pepsia, ns wiU any other kind of food or drink, or beverage, ifextravagantly tiasd. At seasons of the year when fruits and ber ries rosy not be lind ripe, fresh and perfect, as tWMte, fun- nugnrs and candies may bo used is also equally true that the splendid steamer that carried passengers across the Susquehan na on tho same road has been scuftled and sunk. And tho bridges on the Northern Central Rail road, fourteen miles from Baltimore, have been destroyed by tho mob, and they aro progress ing to bum the others as far as tho Pennsyl vania line. Tlicrc are many bridges on tills line of tho road. { . Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, is'about to be besieged by an anny of 12,000. disunion troops. It is garrisoned by several Imndred. United States troops, who are instructed to make a desperate defence. There were no troops at Alexandria as late as, 0 o’clock last night The Virginians arc confident ol taking Fort ress Monroe. This fort is well garrisoned. • Major General Patterson, of Pensylvania, who called out troops, was at llavrc-dc Grace Fri day, with over 15,600 troops, including tho Seventh Regiment of New York and the Sec ond Regiment of Massachusetts volunteers. These troops will unquestionably be forwarded to Washington by another route. General Patterson lias been detached by Lieut. Gen. 'Scott to take charge of the military dis trict composed of the District ofCoIuinbia, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania. This veteran officer will do liis whole duty in the premises. Baltimore lins voted $500,000 for the defence of that city. -RcVerdy Johnson, of Maryland, just arrived last evening; reports that it is entirely out of the question to attempt to force troops through Baltimore. Gov. Hicks left Baltimore lor Annapolis this afternoon. The 7th Massachusetts regiment, it is said, is at the mouth of the Chesapeake cn route for Fort Monroe. Hon. II. Winter Davis is in town this morn ing ; concurs in the statement that no more troops can pass through Baltimore. Senator Kenedy,.of Maryland, came on yes- terday, P. M., in a special train and after hav- ingan interview with the President, returned tor Baltimore immediately.

While the cars containing the troops were standing at the President street depot, a clerk from the custom-house went into one of Hicm and denounced the soldiers in bitter terms. A captain ordered him out, threatening if he did .not go they would fireenhim. He replied they were too ’cowardly to fire, when the offlder struck at him with his sword, wliidli blow he received on the left hand, and with the other knocked him down and took his sword from him, as also the scabbard. A private interfered for the protection of his commander, and him too the clerk knocked down with a heavy drawn pistol, and escaped with his prize—the sword —the only injury ho received being a pretty Severe cut across his hand. At the intersection of Gay and Pratt streets while the soldiers were firing upon the crowd, two other clerks from tho same place ran into the ranks, and each knocking down a soldier with his fist, and bore offtheir muskets as tro phies of their exploit.

When asked why he came,' the simple and unsophisticated reply of tho youth was, “Oh, tho Flag—the Stars and Stripes!” It was expected that the wounded log would have to be amputated last night..

Dear Telegraph :—After passing a sleepless nigbt on the cars, we arrived at this place at 7 a* m,, this morning. At this early hour wo little expected to sec the streets so densely fill ed with early risers. But the spirit of patriot ism is thoroughly aroused, and it matters little at what hour the defenders of our country and our rights come forth, the people are always ready to receive them. The Clinch Rifles, Capt. Platt, and the Richmond Hussars, Capt - Stovall received us at the depot; and after we had equipped ourselves with muskets, which, were in readiness'for us at the Arsenal, escorted us -to the South Carolina Depot. At this point we learned that no provision had been made to convey us oo onr way until 3 p. in.. You may well know that we were greatly disappointed, tor we would have pre- lerreclfo have remained in Macon all our 6pare time.. As it is,. the members of the several corps are attending church, and passing the Sabbath as is tlieir wont The courtesy which j»’e have received at the hands of the hospita ble inhabitants of this beautiful City will lie long and gratefully remembered. All arc in good spirits and none more so than the Captains of the Guards, Volunteers and Rf wlio are making the best ol everything that passes. We can never forget tbc parting scene at Macon: indeed, it was the constant 'theme of conversation on the Cars, and many brave hearts will be nerved to deeds qf daring when they think of the thousands of whiteoed faces fbat bid them such an affectionate farewell. Our thanks arc due to one and all, and to none more so than the members of the Macon Cor nel Band, who kindly volunteered their ser vices to the Battalion that night. As before stated, we leave this cvcniug and hope to have no more delays until we reach our destination. The Macon Boys are congratulating each other on their goodduck, in being -ordered together. WeHniBiiiSuOi,, u,——-aa-niatH —ill* the City Light Guards of Columbus, and alt are satisfied that we could ’not have received a more gentlemanly sit of men to our numbers.

Twenty years of uninterrupted Northern blunders, infatuated blindness and folly, have culminated in an appeal to the sword—twenty years of a blindness so sottish—so impenetra ble, that many Southern Statesmen siy the North meant fight in the beginning, and shaped her whole action to bring it about as soon as possible. Butif we reject this deduction, it is al most incredible that a.people shrewd and prac tical as the N wtherners are in other ru ittcf-s, should luve displayed such folly and inisjudg- uient in all that relates to their connection with COrrcs|>ondence of the Telegraph. Tyree Island, Sunday, April 21,1861. Mr. Cmsby.--Dear Sir:—Thinking that a few Suggestive ideas would not be amiss, and a little information regarding our whereabouts, condition, &c., might prove interesting. I have concluded to convey the same through yo'ur valuable medium to our friends. We have only up to this date received a few copios of the Telegraph, I believe tho issue of Wednesday and Thursday, which were eagerly inquired for, read, .and preserved to be re read. Messrs. Champion & Freeman of -Savannah, have kindly offered to forward air articles for the Macon Guards. By directing the papers df our subscribers to their care,, it will greatly ex pedite tlieir reception. % Wc all arrived sound and sober at Sa vannah on Wednesday morning last, pitched tents on "Camp Lawton." and were quartered by the Government at the Gibbon’s 'Hoose, where every cffori was made to' make our stay agreeable. The most of our time in Savannah wns spent in visiting ship yards, shipping and shippers—them we saw King.Cottqn in nil hi< [.ower.™ Ships representing every Nation, nno ui iny other novelties too’fiuruerous to particu larize. it 4 Savannah is all she pretends to be. Her citi zens are courteous and liberal, an 1 it is with pride that I mention tbc generosity of Mrs. Davenport, who presented the corps with a large number of inusquito netts, a most neces sary article, which we from inexperience f.iiled to-provide ourselves with. On Friday we received orders to get in read iness for our destination; all was then a scene of bustle and Confusion. By Saturday'morning all the trunks, equipage, &e., were repacked and hauled to the wharf After eating a fare well breakfast at the Gibbon’s House, we pro ceeded to the wharf where the State Steamer Everglade" layln wait for us. jOur company and the Columbus Guards soon embarked and after a pleasant ride of a few hours we khclior ORGANIZE!

Whereas, by resolution of the Council, it has been made the duty of the Mayor, to call upon our citizens, to enroll-themselves in the several fire Companies, to fill vacancies caused' by the departure of our Military Companies, the undersigned takes occasion in performing that duty, to urge upon all, the importance of organizing at Once. Already the vacancies in the Military depart ment arc being rapidly filled up—a large body of citizens are being organized to uphold the ann of authority in the police department, nyd it but requires the enrollment of a sufficient number hi the fire department, to place tbecity in as complete a state ot security, as is- necessa ry, even in: these exciting times, and it is not supposablp that the patriotic alacrity that lias characterised our action hitherto, shall Stop short here.

Commending proper vigilance while deprecating excess, it of is hoped that the untried exigencies of a state, war, may be met by our citizens with the calm ness and self-possession of conscious power, that general confidence may be maintained between man and man; and that the rights of person and property shall remain inviolate. 51. 8.

Then nearly'onc half the people of tho South, believing the quarrel -irreconcilable on any terms short of a total surrender of all-onr con stitutional rights, were ready for disunion. But a temporary quiet was restored by compromise, and the storm passed over—not, however, without leaving a deep and wide feeling of dis content and insecurity dh the Southern mind, which steadily increased every year, as R be came apparent that the terms and conditions of tho compromise where wholly misunderstood or misinterpreted by tho North.

That paper says: Major Holmes' resignation was sent to Wash ington on Friday, to take effect to-day. fri con versatiori to-day. Major Holmes assigned as a reason for his resignation that he did not choose to continue drilling, men to cut the throats of bis friends at the South ; still he says, he has the interest of the whole country at heart The officers on the Island affect to deny that there is any discontent among the troops.— They, however, take particular care to-day to keep outsiders from conversing with tlie men. One of the latter, when asked to-day if hb wits willing to go South and fight, significantly re plied : “Would you kill your brother without a cause ? . No, sir. We are soldiers,- ’tis true, and our business is to fight, and we will fight, if wc can fight Tudians or Mexicans, but tlie boys never will fight their own countrymen.” The officers are not pleased with the prospect of a collision with their own fellow-countrymen South. They are quiet as to their destination, but from the drift of their talking it is inferred that -they arc destined for Fort Pickens, which IS to b? reinforced'and provisioned by aid.of man-of-war convoys. _ They are and have been m remarkably good health and are extremely anxious for the'eom- ing fray, as the reduction and capture of Fort Pickens is regarded merely -a a qaestfoe of time.

The history of this strange exhibition is as follows: A ship" on her way to the West Indies, “fell in with” and chased a suspicious-looking craft, which had all the ap pcarance of a slaver. During the pursui', the chased vessel threw something overboard. She was subsequently captured, and taken into Port Royal as a slaver. • In the absence of the ship’s papers and other prooffe, the slaver was not only in a fair way to escape condemnation, but her cap tain was anticipating the recovery of pecuniary damages against illegal detention. WhHe the subject wns under discussion, a vessel came into port which (tad followed closely in. the track of the chase above described. She hadeaught a shark, and in its stomach was found a tin box, which contained the slaver’s papers. Upon the strength of this evidence, the slaver was con demned. The written accouut of it is attached to the box. [Notes and Queries. THE WAR THICKENS. Seventh Ntu> York Regiment cut to Pieeet— Maryland is with us.
