sickness in the Cnnlps.

The mortality in our army from camp sick
ness is probably more than double the casual
ties of war, and there is now an amount OF sick
ness in the camps that it would be almost I'M
possible to estimate. There are regiments on
the Potomac that have not enough we'll men to
take proper care of the sick Out Of 1000 men
in Gen. Crittenden's Brigade at Calhoun, Ky,
fully 1000 are sick. the surgeons of the regi,,
ments at Port Royal report about one-tenth OF
their force as unfit for duty. There are 2,oOo
sick soldiers principally with the typhoid ie-
yer in the Hospitals at Louisville The Gov
eminent, on account OF the pressure upon It's
Washington hospitals, has opened nospl'ais oo az
PhiIadelphia; with Accommodations tor I,2OO
patients. These are only instances OF the extent
Of sickness in the army; A fair proportion be-
ing one in twenty, would give our grand army
Of half a million men in the field at least 5000
men as the number unfit for duty, from causes
more or less serious.
Tn the statement of truth, clearness is init
mately connected with the consciseness, as the
lightning which is the brightest thing, ia also
tho b,icfest.

ANIMAL FRIENDSHIP In the war in Spain,
some time ago, two horses had long served to-
gether, in the same brigade Of artillery, they had
assisted in drawing the same gun, and had been
inseparable companions in many battles. One
of them was at last killed, and the survivor was
piquetted AZ usual, and his food brought to him.
Ho refused, however, TO eat and was constant
y turning round his head to look for his com
panion, sometimes neghing as if to call him.
All the care that was bestowed upon him was
of no avail. He was surrounded by other hor-
ses, but he did not notice them, and he shortly
afterwards died, not having once tasted food
from the time his associate was killed.

The little vexations and minor miseries o. life
can only be met with patience and philosophy.
They can't be "put down" like an instruction,
nor expelled like bad church member. The
best that can be done with them is to pay as
little attention to them as possible, and not to
double their power by fretting over them. As
the immortal Shakespeare says, we don't remem-

For every evil under the sun
There is a remedy, or there's none:
II there is remedy, try and ind It;
II there isn't-never mind It,

"Better to de bene ath the Shock,
Than molder, piecemeal, on the rock. "
SUMNER, OF MAssACHUsETl s.

But The question is painfully asked, who wal
the author OF this tragedy now filling the Senate
Chamber as it has already filled the country
with mourning? There is strong desire tc
hold somebody responsible, where so many per
ished 50 unproftably. But we need not appoint
committees or study testimony,in order to know
precisely who took this precious life. The great
criminal is easily detected. The guns, the bail:
and the men that fired them are Of little import
ance. 1t is the power behind them all, saying
" the State, it is l." which took away this pre-
cious life; and this power is slavery. The rifle
balls which slew our departed brother came
from slavery. Every drop of his generous blood
cries from the ground against slavery. To hold
others responsible is to hold the humble agent
and dismiss the giant principal.

SIR: On the 10Th ut., ], having need to apply $50
to particular purpose in NewYork, went to the office
Of Wells, Fargo Co., on Montgomery street. in San
Francisco and paid them in gold three per cent PREM
for their check on THEN New-York house. On Thurs
day ast having come on myself, and bringing their
check with mel, went to their Office in NewYork and
presented it for payment. The clock had scarcely done
striking the hour for banks to close, but they refused
the money, and gave me their check on the Amer
lean Exchange Bank. Next day was the fasting and
prayer day rs ordained by the Old Public Functionary
and could not present my trifing check for pay
ment so leaving on the Boston train that night,
brought the check here. To-day the proprietor Of the
NewEpgand house presented il for payment at Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S counter and they refused to cash it,
alleging that it is payable in NewYork. This check
they substituted for cash at their counter at their own
option. Californians, take notice. JAS. CHuRcHMAs.

MR.. LLNcOLNS SECRETARY OF STATE.
From, The Albany Er>ning Journal, Jan. 9.

From The Albany Ere1ing Journal, Jan 3.
In transferring to our columns, from those of The
Utica Morning Herald, warm tribute 10 the services
of a distinguished statesman are at liberty to say
that on or before the ith of March Gov Seward will
resign his seat in the Senate preparatory TO his en-
trance upon other public duties.
Early in December, Mr.. Lincoln addressed Mr..
Seward, at Washington, letter kindly expressive OF
bis confidence and regard and cordially Offering him
the Department Of State; to which Mr.. \. immedi-
atey replied expressing his grateful both Of the
honor conferred and Of the gratifying manner In
which the offer was made asking such time for reec
ton "a was due 10 both and TO the Importance OF the
question.
There were many reasons why Mr.. Seward did not
desire the position be is to take OF which of
public and some Of personal character. But they
were overruled by a of duty. He had contrib
uted 10 the election of Mr.. Lincoln, in whose qualities
Of head and heart and in whose fitness for the high
Office OF President he has full confidence and reliance
lie had been largely instrumental in bringing about
that condition Of public affairs which adds TO the
possibilities Of the incoming Administration, and he
did not feel at liberty to shrink from any post share
Of duty or difficulty that the crisis imposes. And after
visiting home and consulting tkose OH whose affection
and Judgment he is accustomed TO rely, MIR. Seward
accepted trust for which by bis knowledge, ability,
industry and integrity he is, happily, well qualified
u trust which, however honored and graced by the
eminent statesmen who have preceded him, will lose
nothing Of it's user under bis auspices. And with the
remark that, on no former occasion, has President
offered or Secretary accepted that Department, in
manner more delicate and respectful to each,
Independent and honorable to both, we dismiss the
subject not however, without putting on record the
prediction that President and Premier will discharge
their duties amid all the difficulties that surround
them IA to preserve the blessings OF Union, and TO
deserve aud receive the homage of their counrymen.
