CLEANLINESS IN The ARMY.-The New York
Sanitary Association had a meeting in New
York, q few nights ago, when DR.. Bellows made
some interesting statements, In relation to the
cleanliness Of the Army Of the Potomac. He
said that the Medical staff was insufficient to
care for 50 large number Of men, even If they
were regular soldiers; but that volunteers
we're more exigent-what would do for "regu-
lars" would not do for them. Hespoke Of the
prevailing want of cleanliness in camps, and
the oulpsble negligence OF officers In enforcing
a stricter regard for that virtue amongst their
men. The Society had made various efforts TO
impress the soldier with voluntary regard for
cleanliness. 1t bad printed thirty different
tracts, Of which 1000, 900 copies had been put
In circulation, giving the instruction aud
warning; and considerable good had been
done by those tract; still much remained to
be done. notwithstanding all diawbacks
however. DR.. Bellows said that the Army Of the
Potomac was the heal.hiest army Of which we
have any knowledge. This was to be attrib-
uted to the unusual salubrity Of the season
more than To any other canse..
No man can visit our volunteer regiments
without being impressed with The want Of clean
liness. A few days ago, we rode out to one Of
the best New York regiments. They were
sncamped upon an open field, near thick
wood; the tenta were finely located, with
proper drainage, and the occupants of large
number of them had illustrated their taste and
good sense by beautifying the grounds imme-
diately in front of them the interior of the
tents were neat aud comfortable, and the
broad avenues OF their little canvas town were
scrupulously clean, and We drove through the
streets with interest and pleasure, but in our
progress around the encampment, we dis
covered ,oithin its lines, a large heap Of brush
which had the appearance Of a masked battery,
and the moment we were within its range, t.;
opened its horrible, gaseous fire upon US, FROM
which we beat a hasty retreat--the smell Of
powder, even upon a battlefield, is not un-
pleasant, but the odor from such battery,
constantly inhaled by the regiment, must
eventually be more destructive to life than n
fierce encounter with the enemy. This dis
gusting and hlthy battery was within nifty
yards Of the Colonel's marque, and without any
reasonable excuse for its close proximity, a
they were not rtinted for land.
1t is this matter Of cleanliness more thar
anything else, that constitutes the difference
between the regulars" and the volunteer
One of the first lessons cadet, at West Point
receives Is personal cleanliness clean and pol
ished arms and accoutrements; and when il
camp, the most scrupulous care is taken to III
struct them in the art of keeping their ontir
encsmpment neat and clean, while everythia,
of an offensive character Is far removed.
3 We hope our volunteers will give this sub
ject more attention than heretofore 50 that thsi
tented homes may b. surrounded by pur
atmosphere, and that each one may know b.
practical experience the pleasure of persons
cleanliness which not only promotes purity {
mind, but health and vigor of bsdy.

The NEws-A telegram, November

THE NEws-A telegram, November 49,
from Cincinnati, in respect to the conflicting
reports OF the battle at Piketown, seems 10
settle the question, that We must content our
selves with the last report, fixing the number
of our prisoners ut 90 instead OF 1000, and the
number of the enemy's killed at something less
than one hundred. As we are only too happy
to get of without q defeat, we accept, with
pleasure, the victory we have, sadly diminished
as 1t is In its proportions.
The dnal accounts Of the battle at Belmont,
make 1t even more serious than at first re-
ported. The ST Louis RepubRoan, OF November
Is, gives the names Of our killed, wounded
and prisoners, as follows:

PARTIES iN CoSenEss.--Tho Washing.
ton correspondent Of the Cleveland
PAdindtalsr, under date Of Dec. 7, gives
his views OF the position Of parties in
the present Congress in terso aud eon-
prehensive language. He says % h.o'
"Nothing seems better settled than
that the Northern extremists are organ
izing for death struggle against the
policy of the President aud his Cabinet
(exeept Cameron) The war on the
Government by these masked disunion-
lists is to be carried on under the black
dag with deaths head and cross bones,
Sumner leading in the Senate and Love
Joy in the House. Cameron is the only
member of the Cabinet who gives aid
and comfort to this class Of our country's
enemies. He was Democrat, aud, by a
law of human nature, when he goes over
TO his opponents takes an extreme posi-.
tion, as de- Butler, Forney, Jim Lane,
Cochraue, &c. Trumbull, of Illinois,
once q Democrat, now arrays hiiuseli
against Lincoln with as much fervor and
unrelenting enmity as did breckenridge,
Burnett, or Val!andlghan, from the other
extreme. From tins very wing conIes
the opposition party of the present Con-
grcss. There will now be an admins.
trstion party, and in it will be found the
Democratic body in force, led perhaps by
Richardson of the House aud Mcdowell
