THE AVERAGE SICKNESS.

TIE special dispatch to the \. Y. Trtb
uns from Washington, Friday last, has tb'
following statement:
"The following shows the average sickness il
the regiments named during October: New York
n; Massachu setts, SO; Vermont. l44; Maine,
SO; Pennsylvania, 81; Michigan, II; Minnesota,
s.; Illinois, a.; Wisconsin, 76; Rhode Island,
IL.
We do not believe that statement is relia
bic. 1t must have been made from crude
esfimates, or based on very inaccurate and ill.,
complete returns. The States named-ex-
cepting three, New YORK, Vermont, and
Ri ode Islaud-do not show differences be-
yond what is reasonable. Their average Is
90. Two 60 above that by about twenty
Eve per cent. and three 90 below il by diff
ferences not remarkably greater. But TO
suppose that the New York regiments have
not @a0 the sickness, and the Rhode Island
troops Only sirth of the average of those
from the States Of Massachusetts,, Maine,
,.u,ro, -. Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois
and Wisconsin-and no. '' A"0'' u VIC
Vermont troops exceeds that avv'~e' ~
about hundred and fifty per cent, is be-
xond belief Some of our Vermont boys
have had hard time, we know, as regards
labor and exposure bat they are not inie-
rior in bardihood to the men from other
States, and they are as temperate as any other
troops in the army. There has been moths
ing in the general tenor of letters from the
army to justify belief in any such surpris-
ing excess of sickness among them. as is
stated in the Tribune dispatch.

A member of the Cavalry Regiment, In a
communication for which we cannot find
room to day, assures us that those If the
soldiers who are blameworthy for the drunk
enness and disorder OF Friday night, are a
small portion of the regiment. We know
that that is 50, and we bear cheerful testl-
mony to the general good conduct OF the
orderly and respectable men who form the
mass of the regiment. He thinks also that
some of the blame should be shared by the
rumholes and becrshops which entice the
men to spend their pay il drinking, and by
the town authorities, who permit the exis-
tence Of such nuisances; and in that too, we
entirely agree with him.

Uor BATH.-We would call attention 10
the various hot baths not usually found IN
Water Cures, such as the indicated chemi-
cal baths, the hot acid, alkali and salt oaths
and the hot douches and sprays, IN use AZ
the Round Hill Water Cure, in Northamp:
ton, Mass. We have all read OF the great
suppleness of the joints and youthful grace
of motion attained by the use of the Turkish
bath. We congratulate the public on its
introduction here under such favorable
circumstances as the scientific management
of DR.. Halstead insures. The benefits arising
from judicious medical use Of these various
baths can scarcely be overestimated in reliey-
ing the system from impurities eft the blood,
local congestion, and the baleful effects OF
mineral medicines Alternated with the
tonic use of cold water, and the thorough
IMMIGRATION of tho system, which DR.. Hal
sted knows SO well how to induce, We cease
to wonder at his success The baths are OF
special value in treating those deep seated
diseases depending on an active virus IN the
system also in treating liver Complaints
rheumatism and govt. This Water Cure IS
open summer and winter. Ii is crowded
with visitors in the warm months, attracted
not only by its superior advantages Tor re-

a. follows;
SENATORS, 1 avail myself of this opportunity
TO thank you for your kind resolves in regard to
the discharge of my official duties, and Tor my

ude for your courtesy and your generous ana IN
supporting me in the performance Of the duties OF
this responsible and delicate position, which
sail never be able to repay.
The position Of our national affairs has imposed
upon rs drtics more responsible than any that
have fallen upon any other period IN the history
q the world, for with us the right of the people
70 govern themselves must be maintained or per-
ish from the earth.
We have demonstrated the great problem OF
cur government: viz, It's power to bring It's whole
physical resources to hear upon threstenel oe-
structson Of the government. The only question
now to Be determined is, whether our ability is
equal TO the occasion.
