r • ~.x5...- Wearing of Flannels. We extract the following plain and senalole remarks upon the importance of wearing nan nels next to the skin, from the work on 1 Bi ology, recently published by M. la Bonk*, . ■ D„ u Professor in South Carolina College. There is a very important matter connected with dress, which I cannot pass over m silence. I mean the wearing of flannel next the Skin.- In the minds of many personsthere Ua conmd erablo prejudice against ’ nn ; n rn than lato years there is » sounder public opinun than formerly. I will now state very briefly the ad vantage of flannel, and give some striking ex amnles in confirmation. In the first place, it if a bad conductor of caloric, and tends, tlrrdore, to prevent the escape o. animal heat. Second ly ft aids largely in protecting the body against the Lflm of sudden changes in the weather. Bv nreventing rapid escape ol the animal heat, and V the gentle friction of the skin and the ■ slight irritation of the general surface, its t:n --r dency is to keep up an equible temperature.— The gentle friction aids in maintaining the cir culation in the cutaneous vcsse.s, and at the same time imparts a healthful stimulus to the nerves. That it contributes no little to these ends may bo readily perceived observing the change of temperature and other effects pro duced on a part subjected to friction by the hand or in any other way. I know that the irritation produced by flannel is so great in some persons that they cannot wear it next the skin. When it is worn loosely, as it should al ways be done, this friction must take place to a considerable extent, in every movement < f he body. I have to add, as another advantage, that there is no other material which absorbs so well the exhalations from the skin, J his fact very naturally suggests a frequent change of flannel or its thorough ventilation at night ■ the former, however, is to be preferred. . Much difference of.opinion exists as to the time when flannel should be put on and taken off, ond here I think a great error is often com mitted. With very many it is a period of se vere and dangerous trial; with not a few it should be worn through all the year, and this is the class of persons who stand most in need of it. It is a mistake to suppo c that the wear er of flannel in the hot months necessarily suf fers more from heat than ethers. I have heard many persons declare from personal experience that it is not so, and my own experience is to the same effect. General'y, a fighter article most persons conceive it unnecessary to wear it. throughout the year, and now the question comes up when should the change of apparel be made. Boorhaavo, in alluding to the dangers and difficulties by which the subject is surround ed, was in the habit of saying that we ought to put off our winter’s clot'ing on midsummer’s day and put it on tho day after. Lydeuham remarks that the giddy practicd of throwing aside our under garments in the spring and ex posing our b dies when overheated' to sudden cold, has destroyed more than famine, pestilence and the sword. lam sat sfied that a prev - lent error with us at the South, is to take it off too soon and put it on too late. Our spring and autumu are marked by great and sudden changes and vicissitudes, and particularly the former.— , Volpey was so struck by the fact, that he says in the United States there is no Bering. To persons of feeble constitutions, the transaction from winter te summer, and aga in from summer to winter, especially when fluctuating, and marked by no steady and regular progress, is extremely trying, aid the greatest caution, therefore, should be observed at these periods. I know many of the highest intelligence, who postpone putting on their flannels to the longest possible period, believing that it is just so much gained, and accordingly the winter is fur ad vanced before it is done. Instead of mischiel being prevented by a timely r sort to it, the most serious consequences ere often produced by this unwise postponement. It is against the first impressions of cold upon the skin that we are specially to guard; when the winter has fairly set in, and the skin has become habitua ted to it, there is less danger. If I had to fix a period in our latitude for putting on flan nels, I would say in September, and for taking off about the middle of May. Os course these periods are liable to be effected by circumstan -068. I proceed now to give more particularly the proofs of experience as exhibited in the record ed testimony of eminent men, who have enjoyed -the beet opportunities for forming correct opin ions on the subject. There is such a host of witnesses from the ranks of physicians and oth ers, that it would seem almost individuous to make a selection. I will, however, mention two or three, assuring the reader that the utili ty of wearing Hann; 1 next tho skin, is now al most universally conceded by those who knew most about the matter, and that it is insisted upon in the. British army and navy. That the health of tho soldier is protected by it, alike in warm as well us in cold climates, is abundantly proved by Sir James McGregor, Captain Murray, Sir John Pringle, Sir George Biiliu gale, Kush, and others. The testimony of Cap tain Murray, as giv,u by Combe, is very stri king. Upon his return from a two years' ser vice among the icebergs of tile coast of Labra dor, he was ordered to sell immediately for the West Indies. Having hud great experience oi the advantages of Himel, he ordered the purser to draw two extra flannel shirts and drawers for each man, and instituted a regular daily in spection to see that they were worn. He car ried with him a erew of one hundred and fifty men, visited almost every island in the West Indies and many of the ports of the Gulf ol Mexico, and notwithstanding the sudden transi tion from extreme climates, returned to England witho it the loss of a man, or having any sick on board at the time of his arrival. Kush, in a note to his edition of Pringle, says that the utility of flannel, worn next the skin was observed in several instances in the Revolutionary army of the United Slates. No one of the officers who was thus clad was indis posed at the siege of Savannah, and no one es caped sickness who was not provided with this internal covering. He remarks further, that the troops from Wyoming, Pennsylvania, who wore flannel shirts i ext their skin, were rarely seen in military hospitals. To this testimony I will only add, that the most useful class among us, the Irish laborer, who ditches and drains our lands, aud performs so much of the hard work upon our railroads, is clothed throughout the year with a red flannel shirt, and that when his habits are not very bad, ho enjoys are markable exemption from disease. I would here caution the reader against seed ing warmth in clothing atone, or by any plan of artificial heat, and 1 cannot impress too for cibly the great value and paramount importance of exercise in the open air, whenever tie state of tho weather and other circumstances will al low it It is when the body is in a state of in action that it is most susceptible of the impres sions of cold. The effect ot active exercise is to give tone to the nerves, to quicken the circu lation, to drive the blood to tire remotest parts of the system'; in a word to stimulate all the vital operations, aud elevate the animal temper ature. From what was said when I had under consideration tho subject of exercise, the reader must be satisfied that there cau be no substitute for it Horbiblk Tragedy.—On Saturday last a ' moat shocking affair took plate iu the upper part of this District. A son shot bis fatlter and immediately afterwards killed himself.— The circumstances ae we have heard them, are these; B. M- Boone, the son of Daniel Boone, of this District, had boor in altercation with his father shortly previous to his commission oi the de d. What was the cause of the quarrel vre have not hear J.

D»la m A True History of the Battle of Fayal. By a singular incident the other day a let ter was discovered to be on file in the depart ment of State from Chas. W. Dabney, Esq., our consul at Fayal, which clears up the con tested point, which, has been a matter of dispute between the United Sta’es and Portugal for over a quarer of a century, as to who first vi olated tlic neutrailty of that port in the bloody conflict that took place between the privateer brig General Armstrong and the boats of a large British fleet in 1614. The English con tended that the American brig flrat committed the assault. The case was referred to the ar bitration of the Emperor Louis Napoleon, who decided in favor of England, which released the responsibility of Portugal. An officer of our navy, who happened to be at Fayal a year or two’ ago, was informed by Mr. Dabney that he was present during tho fight, aud, having seen that the Emperor of France had decided the ease against this government, wrote a letter to the Secretary of State, giving a full account of all the facte. This information being im. parted in a*conversation tho other day, led to the discovery of this important document, which, as a matter’ of history, will prove of much in terest to our readers. The plain, manly state, ment of Mr. Dabney t every word of which is impressed with truth, throws more light on the vexed question than all the other documents that have ever been published. It establishes the great fact that, the English were the aggres sors, and the cloud which nung over the histor ical record of the acts of those gallant men has been dissipated by the noble act of Dabney, and the record is restored to its full brilliancy. The letter is as follows: [No. 159.] Consulate of tub U. S. for the Azores, Fayal, May 21,1853. Sir: The award of his Majesty Napoleon 111, in the case of the General Armstrong hav ing just met my eye, I feel impelled, by a regard for our national honor, as well as justice to the actors in that unparalleled affair, to disavow, on their part, the slightest infringement of the neutrality of this port. The pecuniary amount is of no consequence to us; but I cannot allow the brilliancy of that action to lie tarnished, or the slightest stain to rest on our national es cutcheon. When I heard that his Majesty was to be the arbitrator I felt assured that the case would be thoroughly investigated, and that there would not be any doubt as to the result; and I confess that I was sadly disappointed to find that, from some cause or other, the case bad not been rightly understood by his Majesty. In the summer of 1814 the British sloop-of war ‘'Thais" and brig “Calypso” were cruising on this station. Their commanders were pru dent men. When the brigf-of-war“ Carnation” hove in sight, it was supposed to be the Calyp so, and no apprehensions were entertained, as we felt assured that the commander would not attempt to violate the neutrality of the port. But when we were informed that a frigate and a larger vessel were in company, we concluded that it must be the razee Plantaganet, frigate Kata, and brig Carnation, under the command of Mad Lloyd/ (the same that made the sense less attack’ on Crany Island,) who had that been here three weeks before and had boasted that he had boats built expressly for cutting out American privateers, and that he would destroy them wherever he found them. Knowing what we had to expect, I (being then in my 21st year) was sent by my father (consul of the United States) to recommend Captain Reid to slip his cable and warp his vessel close in under the guns of the castle.— While I was on board the Carnation anchored within pistol-shot of the Armstrong, the frigate about a mile and the razee about a mile distant, yet under sail, it being calm, and boats were passing'between the English vessels. Captain Reid immediately gave orders to carry into ef fect the advice that I had communicated to him, and I came on shore; jnst as I was land ing (ten minutes after I had left the Armstrong) I heard the report of musketry; and soon after a Captain Smith, who had gone on board to see Captain Reid, came on snore with a mes sage from the latter informing us that while in the act of warping in he had been approached by four boats, containing by estimate one hun dred and twenty men; that they were warned repeatedly not to approach, or that he would fire into them, which, instead of heeding, only seemed to stimulate their exertions, and, as there could he no mistake of their intention to take them by surprise, no attention being paid to the warning, he had ordered his men to fire, which was immediately returned from the boats, killing one man, and wounding the first lieu tenant ; but having found their reception too warm, they sued for quarter, which was imme diately grunted, (they were then nearly along side of the Armstrong,) Captain Smith was deputed by Capt. Reid to request my father to take necessary steps ter his protection, and 1 was sent in quest of the governor, whom I found at Judge Arriaga’s a mile from town. I was commissioned to request him to remon strate with Captain Lloyd, (the force under his command being wholly inadequate to cope with that of the British squadron.) and to al low us to send thirty-two American seamen that we had here to assist in defending the Armstrong, should she be again attacked. The latter request the governor said he could not grant, as it would be an infringement of the neu trality on his part; but he accompanied mo forthwith to town, and no time was lost in de spatching one of his aids with an official re monstrance. Captain Lloyd returned a verbal answer, indicative of his intention and three hours after the grand attack was made on the Armstrong, then within forty yards of the Castle. These simple facts require no comment, as they admit of no doubt. If there could be any doubt, the character of the commander is a cir cumstance of the greatest importance in form ing a correct opinion of the case. I send a plan of the harbor, showing the rel ative position of the Armstrong during the first and second engagements. I trust thoJßSpmotive in addressing you on this occasion whl be appreciated, and, with the highest consideration and respect, have the hon or to be, sir, Your most obedient servant, dHAS. W. DABNEY, j Hon. W. L. Mabcy, Secretary of State, U. S. 1 aru conversant with the French language, and. it'necessary, would willingly go to Paris to afford any explanation that may be required. DABNEY. I can prove that tho British vice consul, who was residing on the opposite shore of Pico, sent a letter on board the Commodore’s vessel two hours before they anchored ; consequently, there was no necessity ter ‘ reconnoitering” with four boats full of armed men.
