BApTIsTs IN FRANcE.--Mr. d., of the
French mission gives the following views of
the work: "Fifteeh or twenty years ago
there were in France only few Baptists,
scattered in two or three localities in tho de-
partmcnt du Nord. The doctrine Of INNER
sion was esteemed in france nothing but n
vagary of the human understanding and a
deplorable heresy. Now the five churches
dependent on the American Baptist Mission
ary Union number 304 members, almost all
of whom have come out Of the Catholic
Church. There are besides moro than 800
persons who regularly attend our meetings,
and maintain our religious principles Be-
sides the churches dependent on the Union,
there are in France many Baptist congrcga-
lions. The Baptists arc generally loved and
| esteemed by the members of other commun.
ions, and the Baptist cause in Frapcc seems
destined to a glorious future. OF the 804
members of our churches there arc not more
than two, or three who wero not once Catho-
lies, and on t'iis very account our work can.
not fail to enlist the sympathy Of all who
love the Lord jesus .fs

\ short time before the surrender of Fort
llatteras, about 300 Of the rebel garrison had
taken refuge in the oomh-proof magazine,
which was so crowded that several tainted,
and when shell struck and penetrated

not control. Within ten minutes afterward,
oGr shots meantime raining in upon them, the
white aag was run mp. During this time
most Of the casualties occurred. The
prisoners manifested great surprise at
falling into Uncle Sam ) hands. from whose
grasp they had believed themselves perfectly
secure. The rank and file were equally
astonShcd to find that they were fed and
sheltered instead Of being slaughtered in cold
blood.
The officers felt keenly the miscarriage,
and did not hesitate to say that North Caro-
lima had got severe blow. All manifested
great anxiety to know what was to be done
with them, and were assured that they vera
going among better friends than they had at
home, aud where they would receive full
ratons regularly. The last consideration
seemed TO afford great satisfaction to the
privarcs. When the capitulation took place
the provisions of the garrison were running
very low, consisting principally of salt junk
and molaSscs.
The Rebels shells were filled with sand
Bat few fuses were found in the fortress. -
The shells were supposed on shipboard to he
owing to the sand. The powder in the fort
was Of poor quality. There was large
number of percussion caps, rebel make.
The copper was not water proof and they
were very poor
About half the prisoners had been in the
fort for thee months, with little pay. They
complained Of hardships.
The arms were mostly altered from flint to
percussion locks. They were Of very poor
quality. But two companies were fully
uniformed, the rest were in citizens clothes. -
There was a separate corps of Coast Guard.

Mirtin, one of the most prominent North
Carolina lawyers.

Of the fleet, consisting of substan tial men,
planters. ship owners, tar boilers. propretors.
Some of the soldiers said they had enlisted to
avoid being impressed others didn' hesitate
to express the hope that the war would
speedily close, adding that it was "a bad
business"
When the prisoners were taken on board
the. Adelaide the call for water was universal,
and their thirst appeared unquenchable. All
the ice on board was used up in twink ling.
The prisoners said they had had no water fit
to drink since they had been in the folt.-
They were perfectly exhausted, and could
lie down anywhere for a nap.
The Roanodc was shot once, but sustained
no great damage.

THE BEST DoCToR FOR ANNALS
We have seen great deal of doctoring
for sick animals some successful, and
q great deal of it unsuccessful, and We
have long since come to the conclusion that
shO most skillful physician we have ever
met with is DR.. Nursn. If an animal, (as
well as human boing) is not carefully
taken care Of nurscd--nl the medicine
in the world can do but little good And,
on the other hand, 'ruh good nursing,
medicine is generally unnecessary. In at
least nine cases out Of ten, as commonly
administered, medicine does more harm
than good.
An eminent New York physician said
that taking medicine was always 4 choice
of evils, and were never to be employed
unless there was strong probability that
they would benefit more than iniure-
This is not the RUIZ adopted in doctoring
horses, by most horse jockies, and others
having care of these animals, if we might
judge from the way in which gnnpowdcr,
salts, red pepper, turpcntine, whiskcy,
corrosive sublimate, and other violent rem
edics, are administered at lap hazard
increasing in nearly all cases the violence
of the disease. 1t may be laid down as u
general rule, that it is much safer to giyo
too little than too much medicine and
that none should be given unless We know
distinctly how it's to operate and what it
is for.
