DoN'T AGREE WITH HTHEM.-The Charles
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial says:
A good many of the Northern delegates
are in a shaky condition of health. They
have been eating too much, and drinking
too much, and staying up too late o'nights
Besides there have been extraordinary
changes of temperature here. Yesterday
was quite cool. The Northerners resumed
their discarded undershirts and thick clothes
There has been long drouth and heated
term, which has caused dreadful stencil
from the alleys and sewers.
