SPETIFIf CfRE FOB fVPBOID FETES* I for . phoid may’rent the disease successfully._ In publicity to my made of treating this disease - am actuated bv a nure desire to do pood; ana pood shall he the result 1 will be amply rewarded, i feel that I would be doing wrong, to witntiold the knowledge 1 have from the public on Hu*. I came in possession of this information accidentally or providentially, lean not soy which, lhate been the means . f relieving many patients:, and ain frequently called on to visit and treat patients with tins disease, and have been strongly solicited bv many to publish ray mode of treatment. These facts are my apology ibr thus appearing before the public. il-fore I proceed to describe the disease or set forth the in ule of i,s treatment, it would doubt less be edifying and inspiring of confidence to relate briefiy how I came in possession ol the remedy. , , , , When I first had a family, I had a negro boy „; c 1j {he first negro I owned. I called in two of the best physicians in the country to treat him. He caine near dving unt. recovered. I had another taken very ill. and I called the same two physi cians to attend him, and lie died the third day. Previous to this time, I was taken sick myself and had the same physicians, and 1 grew worse under their treament, and despaired ot being relieved by their remedies. I then commenced treating my self by using brandy in bitters every half hour and had no more (ever after the first day. Ibis treatment kept ray fever down, and i was soon restored, aud returned to business. Ibis occurred in 1630. . , , In the year 1839 after being much exposed, camping o'ut, I was taken with ague and high fever. I had not drank any from 1 > - 3*» to tins time. I got to a place where I obtained a pint of brandy, and drank it all in one day, and theague and fever left me. The result of this experiment induced me to trv the same remedies on iny family with the same favorable result. Tbo doctors told me if I used this remedy in a protracted case the patient would die. I had another negro sick, w'as afraid to use the remedy, called in two doctors to her aud she died. The doctors were both present when she died, ar.d I told them if 1 had another case I would try my own remedy; and it the patient died, I would at least save tlte doctor s bill. One ot the physicians observed, "If all the mineral medicine in the world was put into a pile and burned, the world would be better off.’’ It w as not many days before I had another negro taken with the same disease the other died w ith. 1 commenced using my remedy upon her and effected a cure in one day. 1 hat sr.renghtened my confidence in brandy as a remedy. After that I went with a physician to see a young man he had been treating lor thirty days. The doctor said to the young mat’, must die under any circumstances. The patient was craving water and said he felt like he was burning up. 1 asked the doctor, as lie was obliged to die, to let me give him some water to drink; the doctor consenting, 1 gave him a drink of cold water, and then sponged his arms and chest, with cold water, at his (the patient’s) reqtist, and in about an hour he com menced perspiring freely, and had no more fever and soon got well, I siw the same man fifteen years afterwards in Texas enjoying good health. I thought for a while this was an accident, and at tached hut little importance to it. After this I would occasionally have a case, and call in a physician and they would die. I then determined to rely upon myself, and I never saw a case die where I applied my remedies alone. I had a case of a negro in my own family—a case of congestion of the brain, afterwards of the lungs. These physicians requested me to let them see tne treat a bad case, and if I cured it they would believe in my system. It was their opinion he would die under my treatment. 1 treated him, and in 48 hours be was well, and one of the physicians pronounced him as clear of disease as be was, and then admitted that no physician in Georgia, conld have the patient in a better con dition than I had That circumstance, aud many others cf a similar character, confirmed mein my confidence in brandy and water in curing diseases, and that physicians' opinions are not as reliable as many suppose. Up to this time I had used ra- thartics with my other treatin.-nt. but had dis carded mercurial remedies from 1836. For many years I have used nothing but brandy aud water for ail diseases. I will refer to one case of chronic dispepsia. The patient was a negro matt who had been treat ed by some of the most eminent physicians in the State and the last that treated him pronounced his case incurable. I purchased him for a small price, as much to have a suitable subject for ex periment as anything else. I bought him in Dec. 1656. I commenced treating him immediately wi'h water brandy diet alone, and the Slay fol lowing he commenced regular work, and lie is now as far as 1 know, perfectly sound. As proof of it he has not taken anything in the, way ot rem edies, as far as I know in J6 months, nor has he lost a day's work. I have thus given my mode of treatment in several cases of different diseases, showing how I was able to complete my system. When typhoid fever became prevalent in my neighbothood I commenced treating it with the same remedies. I will give one case fur example. One of mv neighbors had a negro sick, sent for the doitor, who pronounced the case typhoid fever, and treat ed it and the negro died About that time another was taken. My neighbor proposed to me to treat the case, as he would not have a physician to treat any more of them. I refused at first to take the responsibility, aud desired him to treat the case on my plan. I assured him if lie would apply my remedies he would not have a protracted case ot it. He was rather timid and did not apply the remedies es strictly as directed and the case was protracted and he despaired of the negroe's life. He was disposed, however, to risk the case upon my treatment, having lost ail confidence in other remedies. I examined the case, was fearful he wonlu die. but yet tried my remedy’ and he soon got better, and was restored and is still living. I still insisted that there was no need of a protracted case, if the remedies were applied in time. He soon had another case that was thought to be as bad a case asatty in it* first stages. I commenced my treatment as soon as he was taken, and the third day he was weil and went to work. He had sixteen .or eighteen case and did not lose one after he adopted my treatment. I could give many more cases equally as strong and well authenti cated it space would allow. This has been about 6 or 9 years ago, and every subsequent experiment has more and more confirmed my opinion in the virtue of these remedies. Out of a family ( white and black) of seventy, varying in age from one day to seventy-five years old. I have not had a death nor a protracted ease of sickness for nearly four yean; arid during that tune 1 have not used a single cathartic, not even a dose of salts or oil. From experience and observation of twenty-five years, I am fully convinced that there is no use for medicine in the country. Tho in some in stances it may have done good; yet the harm it has done has more than overbalanced the good. I do not claim that these remedies will cure all diseases after the system has lost its vitality, but I do in sist if taken in time, that these remedies will cure more diseases than any’ other in use in this coun try; for I have tried them in nearly all diseases that our country is subject to, with entire success. With these preliminaries I proceed to d-scribe or give the leading symptoms of typhoid fever. This disease is attended with the following symptoms. In its first stages the patient com plains ot pain in the back of the head and neck, and titer, the pain extends to the spine. If not ar- restod this pain settles in the small part of the back. By this time the disease will seriously af fect the whole system: it will either settle upon tho brain, lung or bowels, or all will be to some extent involved. The tongue in this disease will differ in its ap pearance from that which it presents in some other diseases in the following particulars: It will gen erally appear pointed at the end when presented out of the mouth. It will present a brownish cast over the surface, and a red appearance round the edges. The skin will not be very hot in the first stages of the disease, but very dry, but as the dis ease progresses the skin will become very hot. and thirst will increase with the violence of tho fever. This latter is common with all fevers. A patient thua affected will complain of chillimss and will crave covering more than in ordinary fevers, nrtd negroes will want to be covered up head and ears. The pulse is generally not very fast but will have a pointed toueh to the finger of the examiner, and will if the disease is not checked become very rapid, but in soma cases will be less rapid but more forcible than iu ordinary fevers. The eyes are usually weak and present a yellowish cast about the white of tho eye This diserl|>ti on 0 f the disease is not so ample as might be desired t>y some, but if my treatment in the first stages of the disease be carefully followed the other symptoms will not appear. The mode of treatment is as follows ; When the first symptoms make their appearance, wash round the back of the bead and down the spine with cold water until the pain ceases. If the pain returns wash again, and bv continuing the washing process you will prevent a protracted case. If this should he neglected till the disease becomes general and the skin hot, yon will then wrap up the body in wet sheets (ivet in cold wa ter) four fold with a dry one over it. Befote put ting the patient in the wet sheets, give an adult nearly half a gill of brandy, and to children n less quantity in proportion to age and size. If the patient should complain of pain in the head pour on cold water until the pain ceases. The amount of water poured on and the time employ ed in it, will depend somewhat on the severity of the pain. If the pain iu the head is moderate the stmple application of a cold wet cloth to it will be sufficient. After letting the patient lie in the sheets from one to two hours, according to indi- cations, take him out and rub lnm dry. Let him remain out until the skin gets hot again ; then apply the wet sheets as before. After applying the sheets two or three times, a perspi.ation will be produced which will throw off the fever; but if tbe fever is n t thrown off continne to apply the wet sheets ontil it is done. If the ease is obsti nate spot, ge the patient all over with cold water Iwo or three time* a day, and rub bin dry.

Should too much water be applied the brandy will counteract the effects of the water.

I will now close Dy considering some objections to my practice. It is doubtless opposed by many simply because it is new. One class of objectors say, “Why has this rem edy never been discovered before ? Why has the scientific world slumbered over this subject for ages. How comes it to pass that a man of no literary or scientific notoriety, should have origi nated a system that completely lays in the shade all the wonderful discoveries and improvements made in medical science from the days of the fath er of medicine, down to the present time ' This objection is capable ot an easy answer. 1. In the first place, I have the remedy which I can estab lish by scores of the most reliable witnesses. 2. i Hus objection seems to assume that all is now ; known that can be known in medical science. | that medical science is net progressive, that this department of science admits of no improvement. This assumption is too transparent to require re futation. 3. The most wonderful improvements that have been applied to the most beneficial uses have been made by none of any literary or scien tific notoriety. This is a well atteslid fact, and lastly decs not inspiration declare that God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, the weak tilings of this world to con found the mighty, Ac ? May this not be true iu physics as well as in morals and religion ? Some are afraid that the use of brandy as a medicine will be the means of promoting intem perance. Some use this objection who are not remarkable for their temperance in other respects. What does inspiration teach on this subject ! While the most salutary cautions are given against the improper use of strong drink, it is re commended as a medicine Hear what King Sol omon says upon the subject. “It is not for Kings to drink wine, nor princes strong drink, lest they drink and forget, the law and pervert the judg ment of any of the afflicted.’’ Yet in the same strain he says: ‘ *rive strong drink to him that is ready to perish, and wine to him that is of a heavy heart.” Hence you observe strong drink is to be given to them that are ready to perislt—with dis- ! ease of course. Paul the elder said to Timothy ; the younger, use no longer water but a little wine ! fur thy stomach’s sake, and thine often infirmities, i The case is clear, that it may he used as a medi- I cine. I am a temperance man in principle and in j practice, but have no sympathy with that senti- j meutalism that would suff.-r death, rather than administer the remedies that God himself has pre | scribed. God's directions are safe, and the dan- j ger only arises from a perversion of his plain di- j rections on this subject. I never prescribe brandy to persons when they are not sick. I prescribe it only when under the influence of disease, and as the disease is btoken I cease its use. I am con vinced front experiment on myself, children and servants that giving brandy to a patient when sick creates no thirst for it when well, but rather creates a dislike for it. I am cautious, however, in administering brandy to one that has been a drunkuid—one whose taste lias been perverted by strong drink. I usually treat such cases with water alone, but if I have a very obstinate case 1 use brandy very cautiously. After the disease is thoroughly broken, brandy may be discontin ued, the chief danger being in cases where brandy is continued after the patient is relieved Food of the proper kind, and water, arc sufficient -timulants after convalescence is fully estab lished. As further proof of my confidence in these rem edies and for the interest I feel in the welfare of tbe public, I have made a proposition more than once in Talbotton, that if the physicians there, when called to visit a case of a negro with typhoid fever, would let me treat the case, and they would visit the patient regularly, so «s to witness the pro gress of tho case, that I wotiid insure the life of the i negro, prov ded they would publish the result to the ’ world, as their testimony would have more weight on the subject than the testimony of any other per son. I have now finished all 1 propose publishing on this subject now. It is much longer than I first sup posed it would be, and perhaps than you bargained for. But I trust all the readers of the Index will eive it a careful persual. I trust that no off nee will be taken as none was intended. I ask of all a fair trial of the teme iieg before a verdict of con deinnation is rendered, for I leel that much is in volved in the reiectionof these remedies. I have no p. cuniary interest to advance outside of my own family. Heed the apostle's admonition, “Prove ali things. Hold fast that which is good.” Talbot county, Ga. Z. B. TRICE. The Capture* of Ely. The Montgomery Confcderat.on has the follow ing from a reliable source: At half-past three o'clock the stampede be came fearful, and the gloom among Wilson & Co. was awful. They immediately jumped into their carriages and put for Washington at a rapid rate. The Hon. Mr. Ely. with a friend, catch ing the contagion, and believing the enemy to be near at hand, jumped into a buggy and pushed forward to Washington at a “double quick ” Three miles ftom Centreville, the starting point the buggy broke down, and its contents were left a prey to oar forces. Ely heard at this moment the “terrible” tramping of tbe cavalry, and jump ed behind a tree to secrete himself, while his friend put to the woods and was seen no more. Present ly a hotsetrian dashed on, and seeing a man be hind a tree, loudly called out “Who are you sir?” .“Mr. Ely.” answered the man immediately. “Well, who in the It—II is Mr. Ely.” said the horseman. “Mr. Ely, member ol Congress from the Roches ter District, New Y'ork,” said the man.“The h—11 you say; say that over again old fellow,” ejacu iated the horseman. “I am, sir. tbe Hon. Mr. Ely, the member ot the Federal Congress from the Rochester District, New York,” said the man, “Well,” said the horseman, I'll be d—d if I haven't caught you at last : I have been looking for you the whole day, and its d—d strange that I have just found you out.” So, pulling out bis pistol and pointing it right at the Federal Con gressman’s heart, he said: “Mr. Ely, put your foot iu my stirrup and get up behind me, 1 ant going to take you to Richmond.” Ely did as requested, and away went the horseman to the quarters of General Beauregard, and with a live Yankee Congressman behind him whom he captured.

The Militia of the West. Tlift Greenbrier (Lewisburg) Era of tbe 3d inst., says : The militia composing the 19th Brigade have been ordered to report themselves in this place on Tuesday next for active du- ty. Jf the State and Confederacy cannot supply us with the means to repel the Ohio cut-throats, we intend to do it our selves, if they have the courage and the presumption to venture up into the moun tains which lay west of us. The militia, with one good company of artillery, sta tioned along the SeWel mountains, can de stroy thousands of the enemy without doubt. Let us achieve onr own independ ence and it can be more fully appreciated by u a—for this tetmt t» be th§ iuue. tack. After a moment's inspection Gen. Tyler ordered Uailisle to advance with his battery to tbe front. By this time ogr scouts reported the enemy in sonic force on the left. Two or three Ohio skir mishers had been killed. Carlisle's batteiy was sent to the front of the woods on the right, where it could be brought to play where needed. A few shells were thrown into opposite thicket, and then the Second Ohio and Second New Y'ork marched down to rout out the i-nenty. In ten minutes their musketry was heard, aud then a heavy can nonade answered. They had without d- ubt, fal len upon a batteiy in the hushes. For a quarter of an hour their firing continued- when they came out in good order. Alter advancing a furlong they saw enemy, who exchanged their fire and retired though the forest. Suddenly from a differ ent direction a voice was heard, exclaiming, ‘Now. you Y'ankee devils, we’ve got you where we want you,” and several heavy guns were opened upon them with such heavy effect that Scbneck finally ordered them to retire, which they did in ptrfcct order. A few cicad and wounded began to be brought in, and the battle <jf Manassas bad commenced. Carlisle’s howitzers and the great rifled gun were opened iu the direction of battery, which answer ed promptly, and brief but terrific cannonading ensued. In less fltau half an hour tbe enemy’s guns were silenced, two of Carlisle's howitzers ad vancing through the woods to gain a closer posi tion. But a fatal error was here made, as I thought, by Gen. Tyler, in not ordering in a division to drive out tbe four rebel regiments sta tioned behind the battery and to seize its eight guns. Meantime, Richardson on the extreme left, could not content himself with “maintaining his position,” for we heard occasional discharges from two of his guns. However, he took no other part in the action than by shelling the forces of the enemy which were sent rapidly from his vi cinity to the immediate point ot the contest. From the hill behind we could see long columns advan cing, and at first thought that they were Richard son's men moving oil Bull's Run, hut soon dis covered their true character. Indeed, from every southward point the enemy's reinforcements be gan to pour in by thousands. Great clouds of dust arose front the distant roads. A person who ascended a lofty tree could see the continued niri- val of cars on the nearest point on iho Manassas Railroad, with hosts of soldiers, who formed in solid squares and moved swiftly forward to join the contest. The whistle of the locomotive was plain ly audible to those in onr advance —It is believed that at least fifty thousand were added during the day to the thirty thousand rebels opposed to us at the onset. . A lt'A A. M.. Hunter was heard from the ex treme right. He had previously sent a courier to General McDowell, reporting that he had sale- ly crossed the Run - The General was ivitig on the ground, having been ill during the night, hut at once mountti! his horse and rode on to join the column on which so much depended. From the neighborhood of Sudley Church he saw the ene my's left in buttle array, and at once advanced upon them with the I4tb New Y’ork and a battal ion of regular infantry—Colonel Hunter order ing up the stalwart Rhode Island regiments, one led by that model of the American volunteer Burnside—the Second New Hampshire, and our own finely desciplined Seventy-first. Gov. Sprague himself directed the movements of the Rhode Island Brigade, and was conspicuous through the the day for gallantry. Tbe enemy were found iu heavy numbers opposite this unexcelled division of our army, and greeted it with shell and long volleys of battalion firing as it advanced But on it went, and a fierce conflict ensued inthe north ern battle ground. As soon as Hunter was thus discovered to he making his way oil the flank General Tyler sent forward tlie right wing of his column to co-operate, and a grand force was intis biought to bear most effectually on the enemy's left and centre. The famous Irish regiment, 1,000 strong, who have so much of the hard digging to per- lorm, claimed the honor of a share in the hard fighting, aud led the van of Tyler’s attack, fol lowed by rite Seventy-ninth (Highlanders)and the Thirteenth New Y’ork. and Second Wiscon sin. It was a brave sight—tlie rush of the Sixty- ninth into the death strugf-M With tsd> cheers as those which won the battles in the Peninsula, with a quick step at first, and then a double quick, attd at last a run, they dashed forward und along the edge of the ext ended forest. Coats and knap sacks were thrown to either side, that nothing might impede their work, hut we knew that no gnu.s would slip from the hands of those deter mined fellows, even if dying agonies were need ed to close them with a firmer grasp. As the line swept along Meagher galloped toward the head crying “Come on boys! you’ve got your chance at last! ’ 1 have not since seen him. THE HEAT OF THE CONTEST. It was noon, and now the battle commenced in the fierceness of its most extended fury. The batteries on the distant hills began to play upon our own and upon our advancing troops with hot and thunderous effect. Carlisle answered for us, and Sherman fur Hunter’s Division, while the great 32 pounder addressed itself resistlessly to the alternate defences of the foe. The noise of the cannonading was deafening and continuous. It blanched the cheeks of tho villagers at Cen- trcville. to the main street of which place some of the enemy’s rilled shell were thrown. It was heard at Fairfax, at Alexandria, at Washington itself. Five or six heavy batteries were in opera tion at once, and to their clamor was added the lesser roll of twenty thousand small arms. We indeed heard continuous tiding3 of hero ism and victory; and those in the trees above its told us of more than we could discover with our field glasses from below. We heard that Hunter had fairly rounded the enemy’s flank, and then we listened for ourselves for the sound of his charge in the northern woods, and saw for our selves tbe gathering up smoke from their branch es, and the wavering column of the Mississip- pians as they fled from their first battery and were forced in the open field. Then we saw our own 69th and ?9th corps, animated by a chivalrous national rivalry, press on to the support of the more distant column. YVe could catch glimses of tlie continual advances and retreats; could hear occasionally the guns of a battery before undis covered ; could guess how teirihly all this accu mulation of death upon death must tell upon those undaunted men, hut could also see—and our cheers continually followed the knowledge—but our forces were gradually driving the right of the enemy around the second quarter of a circle, until by ID o’clock the main battle was raging at a point almost directly opposite out standing place— the road at the edge of the woods—where it had commenced six Hours before. As tlte Sixty-ninth and Seventy-ninth wound round the meadows to the north of tins hill, and began to cross the road apparently with the inten tion of scaling it, we saw a column coming down from the furthest perspective, and for a moment believed it to be a portion of Hunter's division, and that it had succeeded in completely turning the enemy’s rear. A wild shout arose from us all. But soon ibe look-outs saw its ensigns bore Se cession banners, and we knew that. Johnston, or ! some other Rebel General, was leadings horde of ' fresh troops against our united right aud center It was time for more regitneuts to be sent for ward. and Keyes was ordered to advance witj) the first Tyler Brigade. Tho three Connecticut regi ments and the Fourth Maine came on with a will; the First Connecticut was posted iu reserve, and rite other three corps swept up the field, by the i ford on the tight, to aid the struggling ad- ; vance. i All eyes were now directed to the distant hill | fop, now, the center of the fight. Ail could see ! the enemy's infantry ranging darkly against the ' sky beyond, and the first lines of our men moving with line determination up tlie steep slope. Tbe cannonading upon our advance, the snuggle upon the hill top. the interchange of position between the contestants, were watched by us, and as new forces rushed in upon the enemy’s side, the scene was repeated over and over again. It must have been here, I think, that the sixty-ninth took and lost a battery eight times in succession, and finally were compelled, totally exhausted, to tesign the completion of their wotk. Then tlie battle began to work down the re turning half of the circle, which the enemy de scribed during the day, driven before the des perate charges of our troops, until they reached the point where Tyler's advance commenced the action. Down the hill and into the valley thickets on the left, the Zouaves, the Connecticut and New York regiments, with the unconquerable Rhode Islanders, drove the continually enlarging hot al ways vanquished columns of the enemy. It was only to meet more batteries, earthwork succeed ing earthwork, and ambuscade after ambuscade. Our fellows were hot and weary ; most had drauk no water during the hours of dust, aud smoke, and insufferable heat. No one knows what chok ing the battle atmosphere produces in a few mo ments, until he has personally experienced it. And so the conflict lulled for a little while. It was the middle of a blazing afternoon. Our regi ments held the positions they had won, but the enemy kept reeeiving additions, and continued a flank movement toward onr left—a dangerous movement for ue i a movement wbteh thoee in tbe I victory seemed ours, i At this time, near 4 o’clock, I rode forward through the open plain to the creek where the almttis was being assailed by our engineers. The Ohio, Connecticut and Minnesota regiments were variously posted thereabout; others were in dis tant portions of the field ; and were completely exhausted and partly dissevered: no General ot Division, except Tyler could he found. Where were our officers? Where was the foe? Who knew whether we had won or lost / The question was quickly to be decided for us. A sudden swoop, and a body of eavalary rushed down upon our columns near the bridge. They came from the woods on tho left, and infantry poured out behind them. Tyler and his stuff, with the reserve, were apparently cut oft' by the quick raanneevre I succeeded in gaining the position I had just left, there witnessed the capture of Carlisle's battery in the plain, and saw another force of cavalry and infantry pouring into the road at the tery apot tchere tlte battle commenced, and near which tlie South Caioliuians, who manned the battery silenced in the morning, had doubtless all day’ been lying concealed. The ambulances and wagons had gradually advanced to this spot, ot course an instantaneous confusion and dismay resulted. Our own infantry broke ranks in the field, plunged into the woods to avoid the road and got up the hill as best they could, without leaders, every man saving himself in his own way. By the time I reached the top of the bill, the re treat, the panic, the hideous, headlong confusion were now beyond a hope. I was near the rear ot the movement, with the brave Captain Alexander, who endeavored by the most gallant hut unavail able exertions to check tlte onward tumult. It was difficult, to believe in the reality of our sudden reverse. “What does it all mean?” I asked Alexander. “It means defeat.” was the reply. “We are beaten.” Meantime, I saw officers with leaves and eagles J tlie wants to which it will he subject, and whilst the progressive advance is making, the most powerful means will be employ ed to secure its rear end and convey its re treat if driven back. These grand oper ations will be attended by Scott in person, (whose health is much improved,) and so confident is Lincoln of their complete suc cess, that at a reception given by brim, on tbe 10th, at which our informant (who is a relative of Bates, the Attorney-General, and who lias given valuable information to the Government,) was present, an article iu the New York Tribune was read, de claring the willingness of that journal to stake the result of the war upon the move ment against Manassas, and if unsuccess ful to make a speedy peace, to which Lin coln partially assented, declaring the im possibility of afailure, and his unbounded confidence in the ability of Scott to win a decisive victory, and put to flight Beaure gard, Congress and the Government. The wife of the bloody Blair, jr., was present, and held in her hand, near where our informant took his position, a South ern newspaper, whose Richmond corres pondent had written a pen-and-ink portrait of President Davis’ two children, Maggie and Jeif., in which the little girl was de scribed as a perfect gem, with large brown eyes, rosy complexion aud beautiful hair and features.

The same paper announced the arrival in Richmond of a lot of prisoners from Yorktown, Virginia, whose confine ment and safe-keeping was entrusted to Lieut. Todd, of the Confederate States Army, who is a brother to Mrs. Lincoln, and on duty iu Richmond. The reading of this elicited the out-spoken indignation of his exalted sister, who declared that by no word or act of hers should he escape the punishment soon to overtake his treason to her husband’s Government. The condition of Washington he repre sents to he the most wretched that could exist. Gaunt, starving, squalid poverty, stalks through the thoroughfares where once rolled the splendid equipages of wealth and fashion. Between the Presi dent’s mansion and the once famous Brown’s Hotel, he counted thirty-five beg ging women, attended in many instances by helpless infants. The scarcity and high prices of flour and meat place them far beyond the reach of the poor people, who can neither obtain employment or leave the city, and are forced to beg a scanty subsistance of the soldiers, around whose tents and eating places they collect and implore the refuse and offal of their al lowance. who had deserted their commands, pass me. gal loping as if for dear life. Only one field officer so far ns my observation extended, seemed to have remembered his duty: Lieut. Col. Speidel, a foreigner attached to a Connecticut regiment, strove against the current for a league. But what a scene! and how terrible the onset ot that tumultuous retreat. For three miles, hosts of Federal troops—all detached from their regi ments, all mingled in one disorderly rout—were fleeing along the road, but mostly through the lots on either side. Army wagons, sutlers’ teams and private carriages, choked the passage, tumbling against each other, amid clouds of dust, and sick ening sights and sounds. Hacks, containing un lucky spectators of the late affray, were smashed like glass, aud the occupants lost sight of in the debris. Horses flying wildly from the battle field, many of them in death agony, galloped at random forward, joining in the stampede. Thos’e on foot who could catch them road them bare back, as much to save themselves from being run over, as to make quicker time. Wounded men, lying along the banks—the few either left on tlte field nor taken to the captured hospitals, appealed with raised hands to those who rod - horses, begging to be lifted behind; but few regarded such petitions. Then the artillery,such as was saved, came thundering along, smashing and overpowering everything. The regular cav alry, I record it to their shame, joined in the ntelee, adding to its tenors, for they rode down I footmen without mercy. One of the great guns | was overturned and lay amid the ruins of a cais i son as I passed it. I saw an artilleryman running | between the ponderous fore and alter wheels of his gun carriage hanging on with both hands, and vainly sttivingto jump upon the ordinance. The drivers were spurring the horses; he could not cling much longer, and a more agonized expression never fixed to the features of a drowning man The carriage bounded from the roughness of a steep hill leading to a creek, lie lost t is hold fell, and in an instant the great wheels had crushed the life out of him. YY’ho ever saw such a sight? Could the retreat of Borodino have exceeded it in contusion and tumult? I think not. It did not slack in the least until Centreville was reached. There the sight of the reserve—Mills’ Btigade formed in order on the hill, seemed somewhat to reassure, the van. But still the teams and foot soldies pushed on. passing their own camps and heading for the distant Potomac, until for ten miles the road over which the grand army tmd so recently passed southward, gay with unstained banners, and flushed with surety of strength, was covered with tbe fragments of its retreating forces, shattered and panic stricken in a single day. From the branch route, the trains at tached to Hunter's Division, had caught the con tagion of the flight, and poured into its already swollen current another turbid treshet of con fusion and dismay. Who ever saw a more shame ful abandonment of munitions gathered at such vast expense? The teamsters, many of them, cut the traces of their horses, aud galloped from their wagons. Others threw out their loads to accelerate their flight, and grain, picks, and shovels, and provisions ot every kind, lay trampled in the dust for leagues. Thousands of muskets straced the route-, when some of us succeeded in rallying a body o’ fugitives, and forming them in a line across the road, hardly one but. had thrown away his arms. The route of the Federal army seemed complete. Ambulances. An ambulance is a moving hospital attached to an army for the purpose of rendering imme diate assistance to sick or wounded soldiers. It. will perhaps interest, the reader to have a description of the ambulances captured by our tioops after the battle of Manassas: The body is fifty inches wide, and is divided into two compartments, each one entered by means of a door at the rear. The driver sits outside, entirely away lrom the sufferer, and is protected from inclement weather by an adjustable calash top. The ambulance has four steal springs res ting on the flexible hickory shafts, and the bed on which the patient lies is also supported by four other steel springs, to which are attach ed small wheels to facilitate the movement in and out of a wounded soldier, without his rising. The bed and matress is a decidedly ingenious arrange ment, and should be seen to be fully understood Either end can be raised at any elevation desir able, and either end of the matress can be made into a good pillow in an instant. A small trap door in tbe centre of the bed, worked by means of a spring and bolt affords a convenience to the sufferer that can be easily appreciated. If tlie weather is warm, and the sun too hot to admit of hoisting the curtain, a turn of a button un loosens a section of the side, which drops down upon its hinges, and the cool air can pass through (and over the immate) while the curtains still shut out the rays of the suu. Several also have a rack over the bed. where a trunk or any clothing de sirable can be placed, und everything that would conduce to tlie comfort of the wounded be imme diately within his reach. In iact, the new ambu lance is a complete moveable hospital, in which the sufferer can rest at ease, forgetful that he is in the camp or upon the deserted battle field. Effect of the .Tlannun* Battle in .7fdry land. Wo state, upon unquestionable author ity, that tlie effect of the news of the Fed eral defeat upon the people of Mary land—the exultation on the one hand, and the consternation on the other—baffles description. In the city of Baltimore, the demonstration in favor of the Southern cause turned the cheek of Lincoln’s min ions pale. Several Federal officers frank- Jy had ! "the army of been deceived—that hundreds of men whom they had taken to he good Union ists, were exultant at the news from Vir ginia. Indeed, they said that it was hard to find a live Lincolnite outside of their invading forces. Nor were they without good reason to apprehend a revolt in their army ; for it was stated and believed that a number of the troops stationed at the Raley House, on hearing the intelligence from Manassas, openly cheered Jefferson Davis and the Southern Confederacy In most of the rural districts the feeling was cordial and enthusiastic among the people for the Southern cause. Hundreds of fugitives from tho Federal army had called upon them and begged for food and clothing on their way home, without leave of absence. All accounts represent the army under McDowell as entirely demoralized. The returning soldiers do not hesitate to speak, to friend or foe, of tbe utter hopelessness of tbe subjugation cause. The troops who are passing for home, on their dis charge, are like boys just let out of school for a holiday ; while those on their way to tbe Federal Capital wear very gloomy £*«•».—Richmond £nguirer. the Potomac, recently com in a ml ed by Brigadier General McDowell.

The ranks of the Union army are being rein forced lrom various quarters. Ten thousand fresh troops have arrived in Washington within the past twenty-four hours. Governor Curtin, ot Pennsylvania, has ordered forward ten infantry regiments, from that State, and an artillery corps and a regiment of 1,200 cavalry are getting ready to follow. The YVar Department is accepting all full regiments which are offered. General Manstii Id is adopting the most strin gent measures to re-establish discipline among the troops who returned to Washington from the tight at Bull s Run, and to gather them together iu their respective camps. The troops in Alexandria are represented to be in a riotous and disorderly condition, dunkenness prevailing among them to a fearful extent, but the sale of intoxicating liquor has been absolutely forbidden, and several ot the homes in that busi ness lias been closed up. In a day or two the de moralizing effect of these places will be effectual ly checked, and tbe soldiers restored to order and discipline. _ The War Department, it is said, received intel ligence yesterday that a large force of rebels un der Generals Lee and Johnston had again been concentrated at Winchester, and an attack on Harper's Ferry was feared by tbe Union troop# e‘ that plane, The sebeMmee ef flue news wee Scene* After the Fight. The Alexandria correspondent of the Baltimore Exchange gives the following in regard to tlie scenes after the fight : The scenes I witnessed in Alexandria, the day after the battle, will never pass irom my mind.— Foot-sore, blood-stained, weary, and exhausted from exposure and want of food, returned the fragments of regiments. In many instances they haJ thrown away knapsacks, muskets, coats, and even shoes ; they came back cursing the day, and also the men who had led them into such a trap.

I should never have surmised that such a victory had been gained or that the men thus tenderly cared for were the same w’ho had invaded their soil, or taken up arms against them. It is a noted fact that the only houses closed againstlhem w ere the homes of prominent Union men, and the only hands not stretched forth to aid them were those which in their coward march had waved the “Stars and Stripes.” Tho Washington correspondent of the same pa per says : It is not credited by military authorities here ] that the Confederates either bayoneted the wound- and ^a-ports, andllie accumulation of Ian- ed or shelled the hospital, as is asserted by many ■ jj,, 3 pf cotton at given points, while Y'ankee -ninrfies of the Northern papers.

A fierce riot occurred among the return ed volunteers at Harrisburg, Fa , on the 27th ult., in consequence of the neglect of the Federal Government to pay them oft". Tlte Harrisburg Patriot says : A large number of the volunteers con gregated in the Market Square, who had expected to spend the Sabbath at home, became clamorous, some of them exceed ingly infuriated. An effigy labelled “Pay master,” was hung on the lamp-post in front of the Jones House, which was set on fire and consumed amid the huzzas of the soldiers. While the conflagration was go ing on, the Twelfth Regiment of reserves marched in from Camp Curtin and charged down Second street. The returned volunteers being without arms gave way. The cry was then raised, “To tho arsenal for your arms !” and the crowd commenced rushing in that direc tion. The Twelfth went up Third street at double-quick time, and succeeded in surrounding the arsenal before the volun teers could get any arms out of it. Some of the volunters got an old dis mounted cannon ar.d drew it down to the square on a dray, with tlte avowed inten tion of “blowing up the Fay-master.” It was subsequently taken back. The threats to hang the pay-master were very fierce, and tlie Jones House, in which he was stopping, was guarded by soldieis of the Twelfth Regiment, Order was finally restored on a promise to pay. The Real Traitor*. The Concord fN. H.) Standard holds the fol lowing language: The real traitors, who are responsible for the disruption of the American Union and the present civil war, are YVtn. H. Seword, Abe Lincoln, Hannibal Hamlin, Charles Sumner, Henry Wil son. John P. Hale, Ac. They have accomplish ed the disastrous result by preaching Abolition ism, denouncing union with slaveholders aud of fering in Congress petitions for the dissolution of the Union. If there are any persons in this coun try who deserve the doom of traitors, they are these authors ot our national calamities. And if this war continues three years they will be obliged to flee their country or receive a traitor’s fate. They have misled and deceived the people tothe ruin of the country. And when the reac tion takes place, as it surely will, popular ven- gence will seek them for punishment. When dis aster and suffering pervade the North, as they certainly will; when the people cry out under the burden of taxes and debt which this war will force upon them, then will come the day of reck oning for the real traitors—the political dema gogues—who are the authors of the nation's ca lamities. Hence their stipeihtiman efforts to crush the South before the leaction takes place. But they cannot evade the accountability to God and the people. If the war continues tiiree years, the men we have named above will belugitives in foreign countries. From the New Y'ork Herald, July 27. The Situation.
