SIR Having seen several statements in the public
papers relating TO the health Of Matamoras, and
also having seen in one of the Journals remarks
purportng to have been made in Congress concernt
ing the mountains Of Mexico beg leave to say tha
have practised medicine in the port Of MaIamo-
one year in partnership with DR.. J. p. Gillian,
formerly Of Lynchburg, Virginia. We enjoyed
at that time the confidence Of the people Of that
port, but we did not see a single case OF bilious
fever. This was in the year 1892. Since that time
have had constant correspondence with the resi-
dents of that place, and know that the yellow fever
has prevailed but twice, and then owing TO ex-
traordinary circumstances. Both times the river
has overlooked its banks in tho month OF August,
inundating the prairies, and this succeeded by
an extraordinary cessation of the rainy season and
burning sun. ...
The mountains Of Mexico are proverbialy
healthy and assert the contrary argues great and
inexeussble want Of information on the snbject
There is no couatry on the face Of the earth more
healthy than the table lands Of Mexico; and cha
lenge any medical man to say that he has seen
a case Of remittent or even intermittent fever
tracted there.
Forty or fifty miles from Matamoras, at Reynoso,
on the Del Norte lives DR.. Bass, Of Kentucky, a
gentleman Of talents and education in his profess
sion who has been obliged to embark in mercantile
pursuits TO maintain himself The town and vicinity
containing upwards Of three thousand inhabitants,
and not furnishing him with professional occupa-
ton. CHAS. w. DAVIS, M. d.

was only ordered to New Orleans that the tes-

ORGANIZATION OF VOLUNTEERS.

An humble individual, having at heart the safety
of the country takes the opportunity, through your
paper, Of suggesting that some-or ait-of the voun
teers now offering their services and for whom there
may be at this time no immediate necessity, be re-
ceived at once into the service, and organized and
stationed about coast batteries which have been
nearly stripped of troops by the recent large requsi
tons upon the army. Besides the condition Of
comparative safety thus bestowed on the whole
coast the government would be forming troops, by
drill and discipline, which in three months would
be worth double their number Of raw militia, with
the advantage of some experience in the manual and
use Of battery guns.
1t must be remembered that our seacoast batteries
were destined to be manned by the militia Of the
country, leaving little band more at the disposal
of government for service requiring the better dis
cpne and practice of veterans. 1t true that there
may no, be cause for immediate apprehension but,
as our harbors are now protected, two Mexican
soops might enter almost any of them.
