 Attactang Nesos from FloridG.--The ship Gen. Washington, Capt. Marbury, arrived here yesterday in the unprecedented short passage of two days from Tampa Bay, to our Levee, brings terrible and affliciing news. It is stnted that the yellow fever had been raging with immense effect, not only at St. Augustine, but Tampa Bay. two places hith- ertO considered the healthiest on the conti- nent. Since the nh of this mouth, the U. S. Army in Florida has lost ten of her brayest and most experienced ofiicers-throwing gloom into the camp as if the echo of the destroyer's footsteps were heard hourly. At Tampa Bay, Gen. Taylor is reported lying at the point of death. us is also Capt. Fulton. Of the officers dead are Capts. Barker and Peyton, both most distinguished in their pro- fession of arms, md to their courage joining a local experience of the Florida region, which others who took their places have yet 10 learn. Mrs. Sewell is also dead, the wife of the COmmandant at Tampa Bay. The deaths among the soldiers in camp had been about five per diem.
 At St. Augustine there had died, Lieuts. Powell and Jennings, both brave and below ed 1; .Midshipmnn Smith of tile Navy Capt. McCrubb, and Lieut.. Rodney also Purser Slocum. rr.o <s..st5..
 [The best safe-guard against yellow fever in warm climate, is, to observe strict tenn perance, use but little animal food, keep the system quiet and . little relaxed, and wash the body, first with dhution of alcohol and water, and then anoint from head to foot with sweet oil, or wear oil cloth as the first under regularly before meals, twenty drops of camphor upon loaf sugar.] sse
 TOnAeco.--Ex-Go Governor Hill, of New. Hampshire. in the last number of his Fami- ly Visitor, thus berates the weed" and he ought to know it's merits, having thoroughly tried it.: .3ss4a fst. I{ gs.a
 .Wes arc of opinion that tobacco has a much more deieterious effect upon the con- stitution than is generally apprehended, ei- ther when snufEed, echewed or smoked. The editor of thispaper ih the course of twenty five years became mi inveferate snuff -taker, till . large box full would % away in a day. He found he must leave off or become Hise- rable; he made trial at first to leave of grad ually.. This only sharpened the appetite.- (not aloud to any body, lest he should break his promise to the worlH1 that He would take l no more snuff. This he accomplished with l less ado than would be made in weanihg common infant. The leaving of discover ed to him that the tobacco had as bad anef- feet in urhingiHg and disturbing the whole nervous system as ardent spirits probably might havelhad. 3 .r{l lj },e g-aas
