Advice to Volunteers.

A writer, who signs himself "An Old
Soldier" gives the following advice to
young soldiers:
l. Remember that in campaign more
men die from sickness than by the bullet.
9. Line your blanket with one thickness
of brown drilling. This adds but four
ounces in weight, and doubles the warmth.
5. Buy a small India rubber blanket (on-
ly sl.50) to lay on the ground, or to throw
over your shoulders when on guard duty
during rap storm. Most of the Eastern
troops are provided with these. Straw to
lie on is not always to be had.
/. The best military hat in use is the
light colored soft felt; the crown being suf'
fcien.ly high to allow space for air over the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1861-05-10

brain. You can fasten it up as continent
tai in fair weather, or turn it down when it
is wet or very sunny.
5. Let your beard grow, so as to protect
the throat and lungs.
6. Keep your entire person clean this
prevents fevers and bowel complaints in
warm climates. Wash your body each day
if possible. Avoid strong coffee and oily
meat. Gen. Scott said that the too free
use of these (together with neglect in keep
ing the skin clean) cost many soldier his
life in Mexico.
7. A sudden check of perspiration by
chilly or night air, often causes fever and
death. When thus exposed, do not forget
your blankets.

The Telagraph.

The public should bear in mind that,
where the telegraph is in the hands of
Northern operators, it cannot be relied up
on. For example, the enormous contribu-
tions to the war which wealthy individuals
in the North are reported by telegraph to
have made, turn out to be comparatively In
considerable sums. A combined effort is
made everywhere North to intimidate the
South, not only by large display of force,
but by all sorts of exaggerations Of the re-
sources which the North possesses. We
advise the public neither to underrate nor
over.estimate the capacities of our enemy.
The telegraph is subjected to martial law
at Washington so that we get nothing from
the North that can be relied on. From the
South, there is nothing to learn-they arc
unit. Perhaps there is little from any
quarter, beyond the earnest and strenuous
efforts in every direction to muster the
greatest possible number of armed men in
the shortest possible time. Itappears to be
the growing conviction on all sides, that
nothing but the sword can decide the con-
troversy-and to that sovereign arbiter both
parties will appeal. - Charleston Nerc"'y.

CHANCES OF BEING KILLED IN WAR.
-Marshal SAKE, high authority in such
things, was in the habit of saying that to
kill man in battle, the mans weight in
lead must be expended. \ French mcdi-
cal and surgical gazette, published at Lyons,
says this fact was verified atSolferino, even
in the recent great improvement in fire
arms The Austrians fired S,400, 600 rounds.
The loss of the French and Italians was
1000 killed and 10000 wounded. Each
man hit cost 700 rounds, and every man
killed cost4, 200 rounds The mean weight,
of ball is one ounce; thus, We find that it
required, on an average, 272 pounds of lead
to kill man. If any one of our friends
should get into military fight, they should
feel great comfort in the fact that 700 shots
may be fired at them before they are hit,
and 4,200 before they "shufle off the NOR
tai coil."-LouisDiNc Courier.
