TIC Letter q Gen. wood.

We published, day or two since, strange
letter from Quarter Master General Wood to
one Hitchcock, of New York, who has been
furnishing arms to the rebels. The State
Journal giveI the following, which it con-
siders sufficient explanation of the letter:
. HThe ambiguous phraseology Of the fore
geing letter has led many to infer that the
correspondence te ds to reveal disloyalty to
the extent of giving aid and comfort to re-
beIlion. But, upon inquiry into the matter,
We are satisfied that this inference is not sus-
tanned BY the facts in the case.
It seems that in 1858, the Quarter Master
General of Ohio was authorized to contract,
and did contract, for the sale of certain con-
demned arms, which lad long numbered the
ground of the arsenal, and which Gen. Wood
denominatas, not inapuy, told traps.
These form the subject of the anusion as to
the sale of arms, and nothing more. And,
if the fuss with regard to the South should
blow over there would be similar arms in
the arsenal to sell; if not we should want
to purchase.
The allusion to making the Southern
trouble pay, had sllusion altogether to a
matter entirely outside Of different from, and
antecedent to the rebellion.
Although the man Hitchcock has become
probably an agent Of rebel spectators, yet
we cannot believe that the fact was even sus-
peeted by Gen. Wood when negotiating with
him in relation to the old arms ordered to be
sold" aJlh

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.
The Government have received advices
from Trinadad, August Tth, showing that on
the 3Oth of July the priyateer Sumter sailed
boldly into the harbor, and reported herself
to the island authorities She was last from
Porto Cabello, and since she succeeded in
getting out of the Mississippi had captured
eleven American vessels. The Sumter re-
msined there till the 9TH of August, and was
allowed to supply herself with coal, sc.
The British flag was hoisted on the Gov
ernment flag staff for her arrival, and the
officers of the British vessel Cadmus appear
ed to be on amicable terms with those of
Sumter.
The merchant who supplied Sumter with
coal did so with the consent and approval of
the Attorney General
There has been no American Consul at
Trinidad for some time.
About October 1st the Post Office DEPART
ment will substitute the rules for unruled

1t is ascertained from the State Depart

The ECONOMY OF HEALTH-This busy ma
ton of Americans have l2,000,O 900 working
people, whose services may be estimated at
50 day, and their annual loss by sickness
at an average of ten days each in the year.
This gives q total loss of s24O, 100000, a
sum three times as large as the whole cost Of
the General Government, including the army,
navy, post Offices, Legislators, foreign minis
ters and all. The amount weighs over six
hundred tons in pure gold
A large proportion of this costly suffering
might be prevented by attention to diet
cleanliness, and above all by the proper use
of the right remedy in season. When 25
cent. box of Ayers Pills will avert an at
tack of illness which it would take several
days to recover from, or q dollar bottle Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, will expel lurking dis
order that would bring the sufferer to his
back for weeks or months, does it take any
figures to show the coed economy of the in
Vestmentp When Fever and Ague is rank
ling in your veins, and shaking your life
out of yor, it is worth the dollar it costs for
his Ague Cure to have the villainous disor-
der expelled, which it does surely and quick
ly? When you have taken a cold is it pru-
dent TO wait until it has settled on the lungs.
when days or weeks or months must be spent
in trying TO cure it, even if it can be cured
at ali, or is it cheaper to take Ayers Cher
~ Pectoral, costing few shillings, and re-
move the trouble before it is serious? It
takes no wisdom to decide.

THE OBJECT OF THESE CAMPS.
The 0efsuoes Of washington.

A washington dlspatch says
1t is conceded that by the constant and
untiring labors Of our gallant troops our
works, from the Chain Bridge to four miles
south of Alexandria, are perfect and impreg-
nable. Indeed, within the points mentioned,
extending over a distance Of about fifteen
miles, they may be considered one continu-
Gus fortress line of the most thoroughly
artistic and beautifully constructed earth
works the world ever saw. Our troops are
now thoroughly drilled, and are in the very
best of spirits. They have all seen their
young chieftain, Gen. Mcclellan. They
know him, have confidence in him, love him,
and are so inspired by his presence that they
will follow where be leads, though it be into
the very Jaws of death. They are no longer
complaining of the Quartermaster and Com
missary departments. They have learned to
love camp life. They bear heardships such as
few of the old warriors experienced. They
are healthy, and, what is more, they know
they are not fighting against right, but feel
that they are doubly fortified in the great
fact that they are sustaining the government
supporting the old flag, and perpetuating a
Union that will long survive the memory of
the vile traitors who seek 10 destroy it and
that at last they themselves will leave a
memory behind them that will be cherished
by every patriot. There is no desire on the
part of our generals or men to put off deci-
sive battle if the rebels seek it. Below Al
exandria, on the river, we are stronger than
ever. Above Washington our forces defy
the rebels to attempt to cross.

Probable Eject OF Fram0nt's PrOclama-
tIOu upOn Garibaldi.

tIOn upon Garibaidi.
A Washington dispatch to the N. Y. Her
aid says:
l can give you some very interesting par
ticulars in regard to the proposition of Carl
baldi to join our army, and the probability
of his son entering the service of the United
States. Nearly two months ago our consul
at Genoa wrote to Garibaldi on the subject
OF our civil war. Garibaldi promptly re-
piled, saying that he asighed for retirement,
but if the great cause of republican govern
ment-self- f-government-free Institutions
which is the same throughout the world,
was at stake" he might be induced to re-
lnquish his long cherished hope of with
drawal from public life; and he begged the
Consul to express to our government his
sympathy in this hour of trial. He con-
cludes his letter with the significant inquiry
whether this conflict would result in the
emancipation of the slaves2 This cor
respondence was forwarded by our Consul
to Secretary Seward, who communicat-
ed the same to the President. Mr.. Lin
coin Immediately directed the Secretary
of State to tender to Gsribsldi, in the name of
the President, the appointment of Major Gen

take part in this great contest. Mr.. Sew
ards reply to Garibaldi, addressed TO our
Consul at Genoa, is one of the most elaborate,
studied and ornate pieces of rhetoric that has
ever emanated from his pen, and will be sd-
mired when it comes to be published by the
lovers of rhetoric throughout the world. 1t
was general in its terms, arguing the point SO
often presented to American readers, that if
republican government fails here there is no
hope for it any where else; but as the gov
eminent st that time had no policy in regard
to the confscstion and freeing Of the slaves
of rebels and the Secretary of State did not
know whether the government would adopt
apoIicy on that subject be lodged Garibsldfs
main and important question, and made no
allusion 70 itwhatever. But now that Gen
eral Fremont has made policy for the gov
eminent on this vexed question-in full har-
mony with Garibaldi's views-the friends of
the Italian liberator are sanguine that he will
soon be here to accept the profered com
mission in our army.

nIlIIrary Camp, in KenruelIy.

Military camps have arisen very rapidly
within week past in Kentucky. They
arose, too, With the sane silence as rapidity,
which gave them somewhat OF spontaneous
character. II seems the people, as well as
the military companies, gointo the work
with peculiar ayidity. The largest OF these
camps is Camp Dick Robinson, where thtre
are now between 1000 and s, 900 men. There
are IN that camp three full regiments OF
KentuekiRns, commanded by Cois. Fry
Bramlet and Garrard one regiment nearly
full, (no commanderG one full regiment Of
cavalry. under command Of Col Weliord.-
Each regiment numbers one thousand men,
and ali thoroughly armed and equipped
There is one full regiment and another nearly
fuu. of troops from Eastern Tennessee, lnder
command Of Col. Bird. The TennesseeRns
formed 3 new camp, day or two ago, about
& quarter Of & mile from the main camp
Gen. Nelson is In command of the last
The aceessions are rapid.
The camp is situated directly upon the
Lexington & Danville Turnpike, Ia miles be-
yond Nicholasyille, within u miles of DAN
vile, and 1877 miles from Coyington, in the
vicinity Of Dix river. Hoskin's Gross Roads
forms the Southern border OF Camp Robin
son. The Tennessee trooI are rendezvous
ing South Of the road.
IN NICHOLAS COUNTY.
In addition to the above, we are informed
that there is another camp forming in Nieh0-
las county, at or near Carlisle, between Gym
thiana and Lexington, three miles from the
Kentucky Railroad, on Col. Leonidas Med
calfs farm. Col. G. W. Gest is assisting in
the organization of this camp. When it is
regularly opened, q regiment from Camp
Dick Robinson will be present.
THE OBJECT OF THESE CAMPS.
The object in opening the temporary camps
called Camps Of Instruction, is 70 bring the
Union companies of the State together and
make the men acquainted with each other
The expense has in every case, heretofore
been borne by the citizens of the place and
county where they have been held, and some
times almost entirely by one individual, a
was the case at Camp Bruce, Capt. Rankin'I
farm. Companies in different parts Of Ken
lucky are almost continually on the mov'
now, for they no sooner get through th'
duties and objects of one camp, than they
are called to another This looks Ike bust
