THE Sun GONG Our There are
now more spots on the sun than have
been seen for many years some of
these are visible through a smoked
glass to the naked eye. Several stars
some of them Of great brilliancy
which, from their ascertaincd distance,
must have been as large as our sun
have totally disappeared from the sky.
The question has been raised by astron-
omers whether the light and heat of
the sun are gadually fading away. As
this would be accompanied by the de-
struction of all the plants and animals
on the earth, it is rather an interesting
question. The suns light aid heat are
diminished by the dark spots, at the
present time, above one per cent.

audacity, a few mornings since at an

TEE LATEST WAR NEWS.

On Monday, OF Matawaman Greek, at Free
stone Point, on the Potomac, the gulbOatS
Jacob Bell and AnacOstia sLelled a number of
building which sheltered a force Of Rebels,
driving the latter out A Union force then
landed and burned the buildings. TIE enemy
fred but few musket shots. Large quanti-
ties Of supplies were destroyed.
1t is believed in Washington, or said to be
believed, that the Rebel Army on the Potomac
numbers 100000 This, however, is mere con-
lecture.
BY way Of Fortress Monroe we hear from
Norfolk, that battle is almost daily looked
for on the POtomOc, and that the suffers are
removing their stores. Much excitement pre-
vailed, and the war fever ran high.
Gen. Buffers expedition arrived at Port
Royal on the 9Th inst, according to dispatch
from Savannah TO Norfolk.
We hear that great numbers Of Union men
are nying from West Tennessee, especially from
Weakley, Carroll, and Henderson Counties,
into Kentucky. They have escaped from con
scrption in the rebel service and are DESTROYS
These refugees represent the Union feeling in
the portion of West Tennessee referred to as
strong and growing; the people are said TO be
anxious for the arrival of the National troops,
and it was thought that quite general up
rising would take place when aid should reach
that section. The Hon. Emerson Etherdee
goes thither from Washington at once, and
will probably bear assurances OF coming assist
ance.
II is said that assurances have been given to
the President that the Legislature OF Kentucky
Will shortly pass law emancpatipg all slaves
in that State, and reimbursing loyal men for
their pecuniary loss.
Though nothing has been heard from Parson

The Courts-Martial at Washington made
some progress yesterday, though nothing Of
special Importance was done. In the case Of
Col. Kerrigan, additional charges were made,
including one of holding communication with
the enemy in Fairfax County. He vainly tried
to obtain postpODement of some days in or
der to prepare his defense, but after some
witnesses had been examined, succeeded in
having the trial adjourned to Wednesday, that
he might gain the assistance of Reyerdy John
son as his counsel. In the case of DIR. Finley,
question of jurisdiction arose, and time was
taken to consider the point.

GARRETT DAVIS, who has just been elected
u. s. Senator from Kentucky in place of
"the traitor Breckenridge" is resident of
Bourbon County, and was Member of the
House from 1889 to 1947 inclusive. He was a
vehement Wing, devoted friend of Henry
Clay, able and intensely conservative. He OPP
posed the last Convention and the new Const-
tuition of Kentucky, and was thrown into the
shade in consequence. Mr.. Davis must now
be fully seventy years old.

This war is one of ideas. The Idea of
Slavery is fighting against the Idea Of Free
dom.
1t is also a revolutionary war. In the Slave
States there was for a long time party that
refused to engage in the contest, because it
would not devote itself wholly to the service of
the Idea of Slavery. But, as happens in all
revolutions, this party was presently over
wbelmed, and put out of sight, for the time
being at least.
SO in the loyal States there is a party which
refuses to adopt tho Idea of Freedom but
this party, too, will be overborne by tho rush
ing current Of Providential events. The Idea

pose to abandon the ship unless it is sailed ac-

support to the War for the Union, whether

BULLETS LESS DANGEROUS THAN FEVER.-Re
cruits going to the wars always talk of their re-
turn with proviso that the enemy's bullets do
that in the modern campaigns the danger to life
is three to one greater from disease than from
bullets. The British army in the Crimea, lost
33,043 out OF $4,000 troops. OF these, only 2658
were killed in action, and only 176l died OF
wounds. But l6,29S died of diease at the seat Of
war and nearly $4,000 were sent home on account
of sickness. When one man was under the sur
geOn's hands for wounds, twelve were under the
doctors hands for typhus fever, dysentery, or
some other OF the diseases brou ght on by bad

ments, or the designations incident to a crowded
camp. in which men have much idle time. Seven
thousand five hundred French soldiers were slain
in battle, fifty thousand pershed of disease, sixty
five thousand more were discharged and sent
home from the seat of war as iuvallds In our
Mexican war our army lost nearly thirteen thou
sand men, while quite as many were discharged
for sickness. Only one thousand eight hundred
and forty -ei ght men were killed or died OF their
wounds, in all the battles fought, as numerous as
they were. These facts, while they would nspirit
the soldiers in battle, should also make them
cautious of their health when lying in camp, or
on long marches. Good, plain food, ten at re-
gular intervals, heathtul and amusing exercises,
sufficient clothing to protect the body from the
sudden changes of weather. and the avoidance
of all eXcesses in eating and drinking especi-
ally intoxicating stimulants, will do much to
preserve the good health of soldiers.

EXPENSES OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.-The
entire expenses of the Revolutionary War were
stated in the report of Alexander Hamilton Sec
retary in 1890, to be Sl35, 100000. The debt
which was left for pOSterity to pay was $4,000
900. The population was then estimated at three
millions as we have now upwards of thirty mil
lions, debt of $750,000,0O0 now would be in
the same proportion. But the wealth and pro
duelive resources Of the country have increased
vastly beyond the ratio of population increase
Therefore debt of a thousand million upon the
country now would not be so onerous as was the
seventy-fve millions at that time.

company sat down. Dinner finished, the compa-

Shasta may rest assured that this mark of kind

who have gone forth to fight their country's bat

by the citizens of Trinity. We regret that there
will be no opportunity on the part of our people
