The THREE CAMP DISEASES. SOL
diers in camp suffer from three dseas-
es: diarrhea, rheumatism AID fever
The commonest cause diarrhea is bad
water; its cure, complete rest, and abb
stinence from every kind Of food ex-
cept plain boiled rice. All ordinary
cases will yield to this treatment in "a
hours or less. Rheumatism is usually
brought on, not by getting wet, but by
remaining In wet clothes. Hard drink
ers are particularly liable to bad at
tacks. To avoid rheumatism, keep
dry, wear flannel, and keep the diges-
ton sound. Fevers are generally caught
after dark in the open air. A man
going out on night duty should never
60 hungry, and never stand still longer
than necessary. Good food and ac-
tive exercise will generally keep q
man we'll unless the air is uncommon
" deleterious. To cure case of not
very severe fever, nothing seems SO
eficacious as q change of air. 1t is
said that the removal Of a patient only
. few miles often works an immediate
Improvement in his condition. In
scouting along the edge Of swamp at
night, there is no danger so long as
the party keeps on the windward side
of it. These doctrines are laid down
in the writings of army surgeons and
Of physicians who have given much at
tention to the subjects discussed, and
ought therefore to be trust worldly

Dear Journal: To make UP for times t,
come, when may not be able to pen you
few lines every week, l will use up an hou
of present time in giving you a note fo
friends to look over, as they will, even though
there is no news to send.
We are in about the same state now a.
when / last wrote to you-nothing having
transpired of interest to you who are 'fal
away" although every day brings up some
incident to relieve the monotony of camp life
to us.
We are expecting every day to receive a
call to go southwark, but we may continue
to expect for week Or possibly weeks yet.
One thing we do know, and that is, that
things are being hurried into state of com
pletc readiness as fast as the nature Of the
case will allow. The gun-boats have already
gone to Cairo, transports arc in state of
readiness, arms are distributed to such COM
panies as are in need of more efficient weap-
ons, full equipage is being furnished to all
the lacking regiments, more attentions are
paid to drilling, more strict discipline is in
troduced every day, all of which-straws
though they show the outlines Of the
policy to be followed. ..
Gen. Halleck is busy getting the "run of
the ropes" and Brig. Gen. Curtis is not mac
tive, as appears from his many orders.
Sunday we had grand review of all the
troops in this camp. could not see the pro-
cession (only as looked over my shoulder),
but it was such "turn OUT as would make
mark on the battlefield, such a mark as
would gladden. the hearts of Union lovers and
add page of history unsurpassed by any
nov written. An army of eighteen
thousand men comprising, as the Democrat
says, "the hardy yeomanry of the, West-not
excellcd in size, precision Of movement or
heartfelt interest in the great principles of
the war-was a sight of especial interest"
Yesterday morning we hid a ''reminder"
of an Iowa winter in the shape of snow
storm and "gentle" breezf, which the boys
say was pleasant, only when our captain gave
the comma nd to 'double-fuick." To-day, as
1 write, the snow is falling fast, but the boys
are out on skirmish drill, The boys are be-
coming quite handy in this very interesting
drill. Capt. Grant gives all his commands by
the bugle, and will stand in the centre of the
parade ground and will send the company
round the ground and through the ev.
buttons without thu use Of word. No 9TH
sr company in the regiment has tried this
mode Of drill, though all should be practicing
It. lae4

The MAIL-cLAD MISSISSIPPI FLoTlLLA.-
We have nearly completed a mail-clad steam
navy on our Western Waters, one of quite
formidable proportions, too. Accounts diff
FIR as to the number of those built and to bt
built at St. Louis, Mound City and Cincinnati
indeed, it is difficult to obtain the particulars
SO closely has the secret been kept hitherto
We shall not err far, however, in estimating
the aggregate dozen, carrying at least one
hundred guns or mortars, mostly Of large
calibre. A portion Of them are so nearly
completed as to be ready for operation within
a week or two. The remainder will probably
be finished by the close Of December.
The arrangements of those vessels appear
to be as complete as the extraordinary haste
in which they have been constructed would
admit Of. Their sides are from two to three
feet in thickness of timber, covered with iron
plates two and half inches thick, so as to
protect the crew and machinery, it is believed,
from the heaviest metal which the rebels can
bring to bear upon them. The sides incline
to an angle of forty-ive degrees, so that the
the balls striking Them unless at a very high
elevation, will be sure to glance off, as did
those fired by Major Anderson against the
rebel batteries off Charleston. Each of the
large sized boats will carry thirteen guns,
four on each side, two on the bows and three
on the stern.
The approach of the winter, with ice bar:
rier and low water in the Mississippi and its
tributaries, cautions the western commanders
to hurry the work on these steamers and to
urge forward preparations for All advance down
the river.
