1t appears by the statement of the Treasurer which

Treasury is s4,ss5ooo. Upon inquiry, it appears that
the amount of the loan and treasury notes yet to be paid
in is near 5 ooo-making in all, of cash that could

$5oOOoO; which Excluding the avais OF loans and treas

To the Editor of the Union !:

SIR The present war with Mexico is already fruitful
in great events and important knowledge; and know Of
greater service the President render the commu
nifty in general and the medical profession in particular
than by appointing some general practitioner OF known
worth and abilities, and eminent medical attanments and
education, to visit Mexico to gather up the fragments Of
medical and surgical knowledge that have fallen in the
several campaigns and present them 70 the public afte
the of Larry, Monroe, Prngle Thacher, and Par
sons, &C., whose admirable army reports and medical in
sructons have long served guides to army practton
ers both in this country and Europe.
No campaigns indeed. under Napoleon OF Wellington
ever afforded finer field for medical and surgical records
than those under Scott and Taylor; and it would be
misfortune to the profession and the world if they should
fail to be preserved through press of duty and want OF
time and opportunity in the medical staff Immediately
gagged IN service.
Such a record might naturally enough be expected
from the Surgeon General of the army, and doubtless he
will feel it his duty, from his position to make general
report to the War Department; but apprehend his time
and attention are altogether too much occupied in the
general supervision of the surgical and hospital depart
ments to enable him to accomplish this desirable work
while with the volunteer surgeons and assistants every
nerve is strained, and every moment occupied in arduous
practical duties, and neither time opportunity offers
nor inclination probably suits them to make more than
simple record of the most extraordinary cases, those
which too and important to be wholly lost.
This desirable and important work, therefore, should
be especially delegated pro necesstac rc to some enter
Prsng physician Of known practical skill and
men and whose professional pride and patriotism would
task His motto, at the outset, should be-
Nee fardum opperfor, nee prGcedcntibns insto.

He should have carte blanche under the direction of
the Surgeon General to visit any and every division OF
the army, and every facility afforded him to gather all
possible information from the acting surgeons and their
assistants the hospitals and about the ambuances and
cliniques, &c He should report fully upon the medical
topography of different posts and cities, with the
temperature and changes Of climate; the various dsor
ders ncdeHt to the country and camp; the army epde
les and their treatment and important surgical cases; and
indeed all and every particular connected with and
bracng the 'sMedca History Of the War;" far it
can be obtained, and which may be valuable and i'm
portant to the profession and useful to the world.
Such duty faithfully performed, and such work
happily executed would be honorable to individual en-
terprise, credabe to the administration invaluable to
the medical profession, and worthy the American
and nation, which, if yet infant in literature. is a
giant in arms.
