rely dsregarded and particularly in regard 10 their
having the freedom Of tho city, and the carrying Of arms
blamed In this matter, when tlix superior officers SGT
them such bad example in dsregardng the Published
orders. The evils complained Of prevailed TO such an
extent that many ladies really afraid Of venturng
far from home Large numbers Of intoxicated soldiers
allowed by the police TO through the streets
and the result Of such conduct atested on Wenes
day evening when severely stabbed tho other
seriously injured that his life is despared Of This
state hayng been made known through the press
TO General Dix, he has promptly determined
to enforce General Banks regulations, with an
added improvement to them Of his dctaon; and II
is highly gratifying to state that his orders have been
published to the several regiments quartered here
and they will be enforced In instance will than
respective camps, and these must be provided with
written passes from the commanding officer Of each reg
ment; nor will any commissioned officer be allowed 10
leave without such passport. Further, IL ia made the
duty Of the military police Of the city to require any
soldier Tin case he deems II necessary 10 produce his
colone's certificate.
These new regulations went into effect yesterday and
they had the most salutary effect but few of the men
could be seen upon the street. and Of these
could be learned intoxicated Yesterday morning
two of the regiments had out scouting parties who went
through the city armed for the purpose Of afreshg all
straggers who had not come into camp tho previous
night They succeeded in taking into the camps large
number and many Of these at once placed IN tho
guard house. Major General Dix will maintain the re-

weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices and,
above all. by the venercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending :" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation - indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, II
will visit the iniquitics Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, III
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellngs; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood. depresses
the energies of life, that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofIlous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vgorate it by healthy food and exercise.
