In the last number of the Cheraw Gazette, we find
article headed "A Dangerous Doctrine, in which
the Editor of that paper comments upon an extract
from article which appeared in the Journal" of
the 4th instant in such manner as to show that
our friend Powell totally misconceved our meaning
in the article from which he quotes The extract
he makes is as follows

DRINKING WATER WHEN THE BODY HEATED
DR.. John Forbes, of the most eminent physicians
of England has published work entitled * A Ply
sicians Holiday or, month in Switzerland'' in
this he upsets popular prejudice, respecting the
use of water when the body is heated by exercise
Those who have CHANGED to encounter troops on the
march during hot weather. will have remarked that
the soldiers, halt being called, drink freely,
whilst perspration pours down their cheeks of the
nearest and coolest water that they can find and
moreover, that they do so with impunity The prac-
tce generally considered highly dangerous receives
the doctors sanction with the sole provision that the
body shall not be in an exhausted state and the
quantity of water swallowed shall not be exhorbitant
ly large. g So long he says "as the pedestrian
eschews this combination of circumstances believe
he may freely indulge his taste by filling his drink
ing cup at every spring he passes in his way s.
far from the simply heated state of the BODY being
here an element of danger. l believe the hotter the
individual is. provided he be not exhausted and nro
vided he do not drink excessive amount of water
the safer is the practice" Such an assurance from
so high an authority deserves especial record ant

EFFECTS OF FREE TRADE-One of the most striking
features of the last five years. and of the present
Industry already gives proofs of its emancipation
The wealth, and consequently the power, of the
country have been distributed among large and a
humber class of owners. They have been divided
as it were into premiums for industry and talent,
and have rewarded the exertions of innumerable
persons pushing their way upwars from the plough,
the shovel and the loom. 1t has often been COM
planned that the tendencies of our social state are
too much in favor of accumulation, and that the
many continually sacrificed for the aggrandise-
ment of the few. PROFESSIONALLY these tendencies
are still at work. and many great fortunes have been
made and houses established on the commercial de-
vastations of the last five years. But it is equally
certain that what the middle classes have lost has
not been altogether or even mainly, swept up by the
giant of commerce. The more important result of
the recent crisis has been the elevation of the work
ing classes-the greater independence and comfort
Of the whole, and the ascent of many among them
to superior and more lucrative employment.
