RELIGIOUS READING FOR THE SOLDIERS. -
We are glad to hear that the work OF furn-
ishing the soldiers of the Federal army with
religious reading, which was originated by
the American Tract Society at Boston, is
being pushed forward with great success,
and its extent is limited only by the means
placed at the disposal of the Society by the
Christian people of the North. The Socie-
tvs series of fifteen books, so small that thew
can easily be carried in the knapsack, and
yet printed in clear type, and filled with
matter just suited to the men in camp, Is
just what is needed for this purpose. We
understand that Mr.. Broughton, the agent
of the Society, went to Washington few
days ago, to arrange for more thorough
and systematic distribution of these books,
and the SOciety's soldier tracts, and took
some of them with him. As he passed
| through the camp Of the soldiers at Havre
de Grace, he handed one of the books to q
soldier. As soon as it was known that he
had the books, the men ran after him by
scores, crying out. Please, sir, give me a
religious book" His stock was soon ex-
hausted, and he could have distributed hun
dreds more if he had had them. President
Lincoln, Gen. Scott, Mr.. Cameron, and 9TH
er prominent military gentlemen gave the
ing. Arrangements were made for a sys-
tematic and thorough distribution of the
books and tracts among the troops who may
be stationed at Washington, or in its vicini-
ty. The work will be under the supervis-
ion of the Pastors and the Young Mems
Christian Association in Washington. We
hope the churches win see that the Society
does not lack means for meeting all the de-
mands made upon it in this good cause
The following note from Secretary Cameron
shows how highly he approves of the work ::
-BOSt0n Journal
Having seen specimens Of the publca-
ton named in the within circular (the cir
cular of the Society, 1 am highly pleased
with them, and heartily endorse the object
of the American Tract Society in Boston.
These are precisely the things the army
needs, and it is to be hoped that the good
people of the country will promptly furnish
the means for full supply"

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

Is constitutional disease, corruption of the blood
by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak and
poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the
whole body. AM may burst oct in disease on any
part Of it. No organ is frc-erom its attacks, nor
is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofu-
lous faint is caused by mercuria disease, low living
dizordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and
filthy habits the depressing vices, and, above all
by the venereaI infection. Whatever be its origin
it Is hereditary in the Constitution, descending
g from pareHts TO children, unto the third and
fourth generation - indeed it seems TO be the rod
OF lin who says, . will visit the iniquites Of the
fathers upon their children. -
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or u'cerous matter, which, in the
lungs, liver, and internal organs is termed tuber-
cles; in the glands, dwellings; and, the
surface, eruptions or This foul corrup
ton, which genders in the blood, depresses the
erges OF liie so that scTotulOus constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they
have far less power TO Withstand the attacks OF
other diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
their nature, are still rendered fatal by this faint
in the system. Most Of the consumption which
decimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many des-
tructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain and,
indeed, OF all the organs arise from or aggrHva
ted by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofuIous +;
their persons are invaded by this lurking infection

SECESSION STRENGTH-We have been
furnished, on authority that we regard en-
tirely reliable, with the following facts in
relation to the strength of the Secessionists
at several points below the mouth of the
Ohio
At Union City, Tenn, there are not quite
5000 troops. At Corinth, Miss, there are
not quite 1000 at Randolph, Tenn, 5000.
1900 Arkansas troops are stationed at a
point on the Tennessee side, six miles be-
low Randolph, and 100 at Mound City. six
miles below Memphis, on the Arkansas
side.
There are at Randolph forty-fve "a and
30 Founders, but only thirty-two are
mounted. At Memphis there are thirty 80
and g. FOUNDERS, and some Dahlgrens, none
mounted
No good musicians are to be had by the
" eecessers . for love or money. They are
wofuily deficient n this respect. cold Gid.
Pillow is the best General they have bpt
people have no confidence in him.
Our informant tells of ludicrous circnm-
stance, illustrating the bravery of some of
those who claim that one SOutherner is
equal to FIVE Northerners. One Gen. Brad
ley, hearing that the " Aboltionists OF
Cairo were coming down the river, went
post haste to place few miles up the riv-
en- where several hundred rebel troops were
encamPed, and rushing into their camp, ex-
horted them to leave or they would all be
butcbered. His advice was taken, and the
rebels fed ineontineutly and ingloriouslv.

IMPROVED MAIL FACILITIEs.-Arrange-
ments were made several days ago by the
Postmaster, with the Postmaster at St.
Louis, for the making up of a bag of mail
matter by the route agents on the o. & NJ.
R. R. (Western Divsion) for Evansville and
offices supplied through this office, to be
sent down on the Accommodation Train on
the e. & G. r. R.. in the evening, instead of
the Mail Train next day. The route agents
were slow in carrying into effect the direc-
tons of Mr.. Foy, the St. Louis Postmaster,
but on Saturday evening bag came down,
containing letters mailed the same morning,
from st. Louis, also from Bridgeport, Louis
vile, and Lawrencevllle, Ills, and from Chi
cago, the 9TH. By the regular Mail Train,
these letters would not have reached here
before to-day (Monday) at l P. NJ.
1t is believed that this new arrangement
will be decided advantage to our business
men, as it will enable them to fill orders
from their customers in Illinois one day
sooner, and shorten the communication that
much with the West. 1t is possible that
there may be some interruption in this ar
rangement for few days till the route
agents get used to it, but after short time
there will doubtless be regularity.

A NEW "KMK." - The "Secessers "
have very peculiar way of doing things.
They are now attempting to carry on their
own Post Office Department. On Friday
last, two letters came to the Evansville Post
Office from the seeded States. One was
three cent, the other a six cent letter. Both
were prepaid by the persons who mailed
them, with United States postage stamps
But that kind of currency wouldn't suit tie
"secessers," so their P NJ 5 ran their pen
across the stamps, and made the writer of
one of the letters prepay in money, ten
cents. The six-cent letter was probably
dropped into the letter-box, and consequent
ly the writer could Mt be found, so the Con-
tederate postage couldn't be prepaid; but
Z" 20 cts" was marked on the letter, to be
collected from the person addressed, and
doubtless charged up to the "Northern
Confederacy."
The Postmaster at Louisville did not re-
cognize this new way of transacting bust
ness, and therefore disregarded the marks,
and regarded the letters as fully prepaid to
their destination by the U. S. stamps. The
letters were delivered here on the faith of
the stamps, and no charge made for the " 40
cts postage attempted to be tackled on by
the official of the " Pickin's and Stealin's
Confederacy."
