The husband who goes home from the

and a large charity, and with a noble
decision hiding them from the world !;
who makes no confidants and asks no

ASPEoULArIoN.-A correspondent Of
the fredericksburg Herald suggests,
considerably, that the Confederate
States sell their interest in the late U.
S. Navy to Great Britain, with the un-
Outstanding that she demand the same
in ships of war. The idea is not a bad
one. We paid our full proportion to
the building Of that navy, and have a
good right Of property in the same. and
may lawfully dispose of it. We al
afford to sell to England or France a
first rate bargain, on condition, that the
purchaser shall Immediately reduce the
property to possession. Let those Pow
ers know Of our readiness to sell.

The Miasmatic Fever.

II is known in this city, especially by our old
resident physicians, that, at this period Of the
year. a disease known as the miasma,ic
fever " makes its appearance, and often proves
fatal. Unless proper remedies be at once ap-
piled, It will bring on chills and fever, and
the patient will gradually sink under itl effects,
until he is wholly unable to perform his daily
avocs tion. The miasma Is an emanatinn from
the surface of the earth wherever there is
vegetation, moisture, and heat equal to about
eighty degrees, and is the primal cause of
many diseases which simultaneously DESTROY
numerous victims. II makes its appearance,
at first, in the form Of agues, fevers, diarrhoea,
dysentery, gripping, or other similar diseases.
Its destructive agencies can only be avert
rise and after sunset. We witnessed, a few
days ago, n most distressing case of an indl
vidual who had been suffering for three years
from the effects of this miasma, until Il had
brought on several IMPLICATED diseases, among
them, swelling of the limbs and very severe run.

The Great Naval Expedt,ion,

Though the great expedition fitted out
against the Confederate States will not compare
with that against Sebastopol, which numbered
some six hundred vessels and ninety thousand
men, it figures respectfully by the side OF any
other that can be named. The world-famous
|" Invincible Armada" dispatched under Phil
lip II, of Spain, for the conquest Of England,
to be sure, numbered 1877 ships, but the largest
of whose vessels were cock boats compared
with some Of ours, and they all together en-
barked only 10000 soldiers and IL 900 sailor.
So the expedition of Charles V to Tunis num-
bered 500 Genoese and Spanish vessels, but
only carried 10000 men, That Of Peter the
Great upon the Caspian Sea. numbered 27O
ships. but only 10000 men. The expedition of
Gustavus Adolphus TO Germany numbered
Is, 900 or $4,000 men; that Of Jussuf against
Gambia, 10000; that of Kionperti against the
same stronghold, 6O,O0O: that of Charles XII
upon Denmark, $4,000. Hochc, in his attempt
ed descent upon Ireland, counted 5000.
Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt, consisted of
23 600 men, with IS ships, II frigates, and 400
transports Abercrombie's expedition to Egypt
numbered 10000 men; Cathcart's to CopeDha.
gen 25 900: Wellington's to Portugal $4,000
and to Spain 10000. Bonaparte's contempla-
ted expedition. in which preparations were
made for throwing hundred aud fifty thousand
di, i,cplined veterans upon England by means
of three thousand pinnaces, protected by sky
ships of the line is not entitled to be brought
into comparison, inasmuch as 1t was never
carried out. The Engliah expedition against
Washington numbered 5000, and against New

Downing's Patent Metallic Money Belt,

Among the many ingenious inventions de.
signed to protect the lives and property of our
gallant scldiery which the war has stimulated
the inventive genius of the country to produce,
our attention has been called to a very neat
little contrivance for the safe carriage of sol.
diers' pay. This belt and box is not only to be
preferred to pocket-book, wallet, or p6rtemon.
naie for the reason that 1t cannot be lost or
stolen, but 1t is moro. readily accessible than
either, and while we looked upon II, the idea
occurred to our mind that, If worn well filed
with specie, It might prove not only money
but a life preserver. See advertisement of
