COUNSEL TO OUR VOLUNTEERS.
How to Prepare for the Campaign.

The following hints to our volunteers
are timely, and should be needed:
TO OUR Young SOLDIERS.
| Rcu cmbor that in a campaign more
men die from sickness than by the bullet.
=. Line your blankets with one thick
ness of brown drilling This adds but
four ounces III weight, and doubles the
warmth.
J. Buy small India rubber blanket
(only 81 5O) to lay on the ground, or to
throw over your shoulders when on guard
duty during rain storm Most OF the
eastern troops are provided with these.
Straw to lie on is not always to be had,
!. The best military hat in use is the
light colorcd soft felt the crown being
sufficiently high to allow space for air
over the brain. You can fasten it up as
a continental in fair weather, or turn it
down when it is wet or very sunny.
. Let your beard grow so as to pro-
tect the throat and lungs
=. Keep your entire person clean this
prevents fevcrs and bowel complaints ia
warm climates. Wash your body each
day if possible. Avoid strong coffee
and Oh y meat. Gen. Scott said that the
too free use of these together with neg
lect ia keeping the skin clean) cost many
a soldier his life in Mexico. 5
!. a sudden check of perspiration by
chilly or night air, often causes fever and
death. When thus exposed do not for
get your blanket.

THE WONDERS OF ART.

The telescope and microscope reveal
equal wonders in the world of art, and in
the works of God. They show that man
occupies point midway between the two
extremes Of greatness and littlenes>.
The most remarkable instance of human
handiwork Of which we have any knowl-
edge, is that Of DIR. Scott, of Buffalo, n.
Y. At the advanced age Of seventy years,
he had such a command of his nerves and
muscles, and such remarkable skill in fine
writing, that he actually wrote upon an
cnameled card, with stile, on space not
larger thana three cent piece, . The LORD

1t was done, Of course, by the aid of a mi
croscope.
This almost incredible feat is certified
by DR.. }. q. Hoofand, of Mass. in re-
cent article published in the Springfield
Republican. 'Be assured he says, that
it is true, and that my hands have handled
and my eyes seen the things of which tell
YOU Every word, every letter. and every
punctuation, Of all these passages, was
written exqustely on this minute space ::
aud that old man not only saw every mark
he made, but the letters are so beautifully
formed that they abide the test Of the high
est magnifying power"
The way in which DIR. Scott acquired
this rare command of his physical powers
is very instructive. cat the age Of sew
enty," writes DR.. Holland, 'he became
conscious of decaying power of vision.--
Being professionally physician, and nat
urally philosopher, he conceived the idea
that the eye might be improved by what
he denominated series of occukar gym
nastics. He therefore undertook to exer-
else his eyes upon the formation of minute
letters BY progressing slowly and care
fully, he became at last, able to read the
newspapers without glasses" and to &C
comPlish the task just related.
Night not judicious discipline of the
eye relieve many others, who are suffering
in similar way aud prereut the loss Of
sight aud ''decaying power of vision," in
many who now rejoice in good eyes, but
who, without care, will soon require help
to see and read. NJ K.C.

Heavy Seizure Of Powder, &C., at Cairo.

CAIRO, ILL.,, April &c.
The steamer c. f. Hillman, St. Louis
and Nashville packet, for Nashville, was
boarded by Capt. Scott, about six miles
north Of here, and the captain of the
steamer was requested to land her at
Cairo, which he promised to do. When
the boat arrived at Birds Point, Mo-,
Immediately opposite Cairo, she was
rounded to and landed. The officers,
crew and passengers all deserted her.
She was then taken possession of by the

The Way to Treat Them.

A day or two since a customer Of one
of our South Water Street merchants,
had made out his bill of goods, and was
about closing his bargains. when he
dropped a chance remark strongly con-
demnlng the Government He was as
tonished BY seeing the head of the firm
point to the open door, with significant
gesture, and the remark:
l." If you are of that stripe, we don't
sell you any goods; please to leave the
premises"
The discounted sympathizer with Sc.
cession betook himself to his hotel, and
there made known his grievances, and
was again astonished by mine host, who
said:

leave this house. Porter. bring down
the baggage from this mans room, and

Cali for a Legal Government in Virginia.

The Union men of Western Virginia
are calling for the organization of a Pro
visional Government Of the State, under
the Government of the Union. Such a
Government will have the prestige of
law and the Constitution. Virginia has
not seeded, but her Governor is levying
war on the Government. The law au.
thorizng the Convention, provided that
if it should pass an ordinance of Seces-
sion, it should be subject to vote of the
people. But, in defiance of the law and
people, Gov. Letcher has made war on
the National Government.
This is treason both to the State and
National Government. 1t depriyes him
of his authority in the Governments
The Government organized by the peo-
pie of Virginia, under the Union, will
be the Legitimate Government of the
State. The Federal Government will
recognize it; and the Virgiuians can
have whatever aid they call for from
Ohio, to establish and maintain its au
thority throughout the State.

Sirgiuia's Sense Of Iiouor.

The Chicago Times apologized for the
secession of Virginia, and declared that
she was :. impeled by fine sense of
honor t. commit treason. The Post
thus replies
" Virginia is guilty of double crime
committed against the best government
that human wisdom ever devised-a dou.
bic crime that she can only atone for in
lonc years Of loyal behavior under the
Constitution and the Flag of the Union.
by the secret sessions of her Convention
she stands perjured to herself. By her
ordinance Of secession, she declares war
on the United States. BY her attack on
the United States Arsenal at Harper's
Ferry, and burning the ships at Norfolk,
she commits actual deeds of war against
the United States. South Carolina has,
at least, the merit of having done her
foul business in the open day Virginia,
then, stands before the world in deeper
DISGRACE than South Carolina, or any 9th.
er State: Still, we have been told, she
stands thus from "a sense of honor '"
If the men who, being conversant with
her dark deeds, believe she has left anv
sense of honor" dare express their
sympath'es in representative words. thew
would declare that she has acted noblv.
and invoke the blessing of God and man
upon her traitorous head :"
