Now England and the War.

The question has often been put to us
how far will New England suffer bya eOntin-
uation of the Iresen, war? We cannot rec
ognize this rs by any means patriotic 9nes-
ton. but it is one which conveys world oil
significance and ilproperly considered, both
in lts spiri, and application. opens up an tS-
PLANTATION Of certain difficulties that are yex-
Ing the country at this time.
81 lar as New England is concerned, her
locality renders il certain that che will al
WAYS h. the remotest from the seat Of war,
and ON this account her borders arc not like
" To be infested by armed forces. In this
exemption, - far rs material prosperity IL
concerned. she will be fortunate. Whether
the war lasts for longer or shorter period,
New England must rather la the gamer than
the loser.
The manufacturing and mechanical indus
try which centres here must per force bring
in more than goes out, while her commerce,
left undsturbed, will Do employed in tho
great carrying trade between this country
and Europe
The question then should no below much
will New England suffer from the war!-but
how much can she do in prosecuting the war
with yigor that shall secure Its speedy tcrIni-
nation? There is an opportunity for dis
playing a magnanimity in her patriotism
that New England ought not to let slip
She can possibly say what no other section
can, that the disruption Of he Union and tho
formation of several indcpcndcncies on this
Continent would, by contrast and comparison
result in her future providence. IL this ba
true. what bright example Is in her power
for imitation The people Of New England
should place themselves at once up to the full
realization OF present events; her volunteer
forces should ou,numbcr those OF any other
section At the North her contributions to
the National fund shouh also far exceed those
of the other States. The pertinent question
then, for all New England men to put to
themselves is-baye we rs u community. hayo
we as individuals, done what wc might do
in this crisis? Let US fling our whole ener-
cics in this matter, rs though our very lie.
financially and commercially. was dependent
upon the right issue, and we should throw a
moral as we'll rs physical fro into the scale
which cannot be outweighcd by all tho fac
tions that oppose tho GoScrnmcnt.-Cou'-

Sanitary Condition OF the Army.

The following is portion Of report read to
the U. s. Sanitary Commission ut their sixth
session at Washington, Oct. 10. 1861, by j. j.

ton Of the force, the report speaks as follows

only three and seyen.tenths per cent. OF the
force. The entire sick list including those only

aggregate strength. The mortality from DIS
ease in camp was during September not one
twentieth Of one per cent OF the aggregate
strength.
The mortality in General Hospitals Of all

ARMY CORRESPONDENTS.

CmP lIAuILroN, Va, Oct. o., 1851.
We have been rusticatinS in this region
about eight weeks, without rebel to bless
our visuals with. We have life enough Of
peculiar sort. but, to speak for myself, |
am become weary of the daily routine of
camp life, and long for an opportunity to
point my Enfield at something different from
the emblem of Catholicism which serves us
as target.
Three hundred men from each of the five
regiments have to-day been detailed on spc-
cial duty, and we have an impression that
before they return they will have a glimpse
Of the enemy.
Inotice, also, that most of the "iorc and
alters" connected with the grand expedition
are uuderweigh, which denotes to my mind
speedy departure Of the fleet. The stormy
weather has detained them, presume, as it
would be death to grand expectations to be
dispersed, as a gale might compel them to be,

departure, tor now at night the harbor pro-
sents all the appearance Of distant city, as

mac now, and as II existed two months Dee,
shows, think, an improvement In most matters
concerning which the advice Of the commission
has through It's camp visitors been extended
There Is n general dispositionon the part reg
mental officers 10 recognize the work OF tho
commission as authorized and useful. -.
From the store-room Of the commission nave
been distributed continuously, clothing and
hospital comforts for the sick. Many articles
are receiyedat the store.room In irregular guam
Titles, so that not unfrequently there Is COM
p'ete exhaustion OF stores previously ON hand.
~ the present time there are on hand no bed
ticks, slippers, corn starch, farina, OF condens-
ell mllk-articles constantly In demand. Flan-
mel drawers are never on hand In such numbers
that they can lie distributed as freely rs IL desi-
rablc. 80.
To the Division about 10 leave AnnapoIi. on
special service somewhat larger supplies OF nee
essary articles have been Afforded than is usual
10 regiments In the immediate vicinity. In each
case the regimcntal or brigade surgeon hal hrst
resortei the Medical Bereau, and our supplies
we're only supplementary.
The condition ofthe sick In General Hospitals
varies little from their condition ut the date of
my last report. feyers have since the date OF
that report increased In number and intensity.
The mortality OF Sept, was less than ~ per
cent. Of the whole number treated. Within the
last ten days there il an evident abatement In
the severity Of these diseases. and the rate of
mortality Is diminishing.
The charge Of inhuman treatment in patients
in General Hospitals have been unable To YER
tif, nor DO find that the sick feel that they
are neglected. The reasonable expectations OF
the public are think met IN the MANAGEMENT
Of the Military Hospitals. Here, too, the dis
tributation Of hospital supplies las been con-
tinued. have placed third wafer bel ut the
Union Hotel Hospital. and have sent ote to
Baltimore and two to the hospital at Annapolis.

TIE CAVALRY REGIMENT.

The organization Of the Cavalry Regiment at
Augusta is rapidly progressing. On Thursday
of last week the company from York $50 in
number) was mustered into the United States
service, and on Saturday the officers received
their Commissions. The Company is numbered
I, and its officers are, Louis o. Cowan, Of Bid
delord, Captain. Paul Chadbourn, of Water
boro, LIST Lieut.. and Frank W. Pray, Of shap-
leigh 2l Lieut.. All the companies but three
are mustered in, and the number in camp is
about 100. Between eight and nine hundred
horses are already in camp, and the balance
will be ready soon. The soldiers have not re-
ecived their uniforms. On Friday last.at Dress
Parade, Col. Goddard informed the officers that
he hail the permission of the War Department
20 march the Regiment through New England,
and probably as far as Harrisburg, Penn, on
its way to the seat OF war, and that he had de-
eided to avail himself Of the permission. The
regiment will take its baggage in transportation
Wagons, pitch its tents nightly and preserve
the war order when ON its march, This method,
while It will afford thousands to witness a
grand military display, is the most economic
al manner Of getting to The place where the
services Of the regiment are required. 1t will
however be severe for the men and horses who
will be obliged 60 make march of perhaps
four or Eve hundred miles in the severity of
winter. Col. Goddard will without doubt do
all he can to alleviate the hsrdships Of the
march, and the men are almost without an er-
ception eager for it. II viii be several weeks
before the regiment will be ready to leave
The horse, assigned TO the company from York
