asserted with confidence that he, loo, would ne
true to his State, and TO his name, and we,are still
unwilling to place his name on the list of Sect;
traitors. Before the commencement OF our
present troubles, in consequence Of i'll health,
he obtained n furlough with a view to a some
what pr0t-sctrd absence from the county
He returned iroln Europe, however, some
weeks since, and WSS in Montreal the last VIC

4 WorG OF Adyice to Soldiers III 1 amp.
There can le no doubt that \ vast amount
| of the sickness with which cur noble volun.
teers arc afflicted in the camps AROUND this
city, and elsewhere, is attributed to the unwiI-
lingness 9? the soldiers 10 report themselves
10 the physician when they first feel unwel,
and 10 their almost slperstiiious dread OF De-
iug removed from their tents 10 the hospital.
Until the disease has taken such a hold upum
them tina. they are obliged to succonh, they
will not submit to medical treatment, and
even then thev prefer to remain i'll a crowded
tent where they cannot be properly attended,
anu where they infect their companions, to
being removed 10 the Hospital where they are
under the immediate ere I'll the physician, aid
are carefully nurscd NJ experienced altrn.
dar.;s.
As example is always more e~ffectual than
precept, we would cite o1e which ha. recently
presented itself, anu which furnishes cuivil-
chg prooi ot THAT we have stated above.
In the camp Of Instruction AZ the new Fair
Ground, wha"s the captains o: companies are
compelled 10 report their sick every day, aud
where, il The medical officer thinks proper, the
patients srs obliged to 90 to the hospital, the
total number Of sick reccircd into the hospital
during the month Of August was 2,16S. whose
dis-A:cs were principally intermittent und re-
mnt.n; ievr., ~,neas!es aud diarrianl D; tiisse,
I,S43 have returned 10 duty, and only three
have dioi. We take these facts iron the re-
port TO the Var Department Of the Medical
Director af the camp, Surgeon Thomas Mem
minger, L. 5, \ 70 whose sklliul Treatment
and rigid enforcement Of the hospital rules,
the above happy result Is I" lie ]asc'ins';. We
are happy 10 learn that Dr.. Mcmlnirger's SET
vices have been appreciated at the War De-
partucut By his promotion 10 the rank Of full
Surgeon, and that his volunteer assistant, DR..
Keith. who has been attending the sick at the
camp for the last mouth, has been commission,
Cd as Assistant Surgeon 10 the Army Of the
c.. s. A.
Commanding officers Of regiments would do
well 10 enforce similar discipline in their camps.
The soldiers she have CALAMITY volunteered
10 cone here to defend the liberties Of their
country, and on whom patriotism imposes the
duty Of preserving their health and strength rs
much rs it requires them to meet the enemy
on the battlefield, ought to heed the lesson
which this report teaches them. When they
feel unWell let them Immediately report to
their surgeons. IF those officers so advise, |
let them readily submit to being removed to
the hospital and in ninety.nine cases out Of
every hundred speedy restoration to health
will nc the result.

An officer, who has reached this city direct
from General Floyd's camp, reports to US as
