Disease and Death in the Rebel
CamN.


Iregret to be compelled to give you a
most unfavorable account of the health of
our troops now in the field. The inaction
of the several large bodies of men in differ
ent portions of the commonwealth, for three
weeks past, must be attributed chiefly to
the crowded state of their hospitals. In
the peninsula the typhoid fever has been
prevalent, though happily not in mali
gnant form. AT Manassas and Aqua Creek
also, this malady has Frustrated consid-
the camps around it, fifty per cent, of the
troops have been stricken down with the
measles. Private hospitals for the recep-
tion and better treatment of the invalids
have been opened from day to day, until
every street, almost every square of the city,
has its long sick list, and the ladies are
worn out in THAR attentions to the suffer
ers. They do not weary in the spirit of
their good work; but excessive watching
will exhaust the physical powers. There is
no dimiuution in the number of new cases.
Richmond correspondence of the Mem
phis Appeal. s-
A captain Of the Mississippi Nineteenth
writes thus to the same journal, under date,
August "a: .bslste
Since we pitched our camp here gloom
and sorrow have saddened the countenan-
ces of all, owing to the distressing fact that
disease and death have prevailed among US.
Our exposed condition during our camp or
Bull Run, and the want ofproper food and
water, was serious blow to this regiment
and to all the troops that were likewise un-
fortunate. In proof of this l will mention
that out of forty-seven hundred in the
brigade, only twenty three hundred repor-
ted for duty on the 5Oth inst, and compa-
MES that before ordinary turned out on drill
and parade from sixty-five TO ninety men,
do not turn out now more than eight and
ten files per day. The hardship and suff
erings consequent upon the movements Of
Gen. Johnston's division oflhe army, which
resulted in such glorious success to our
cause at Manassas, has dare say, prostra-
ted fully one third Of his force. Nearly
every day the sound ofmusketry proclaims
the death of some Southern hero who has
fallen a victim to disease in camp, and over
whose grave blank cartridges are fred as the
last military honor paid TO the dead.

rE Hereabouts Gen. Geo. W. MORGAN is
well known. Many Democrat in this county
has listened to his clear voice urging them On
in the political battles Of that party. But a
greater war is now being waged in this eoun-
try than that for the supremacy of parties, a
war for the preservation of our Government, Of
our liberties, and MORGAN, like true patriot,
casts aside party and heroically comes to the
rescue of his country. 1 r-i

wWe did hope that the new" Union State Ex-
ecutive Committee" would be an improvement
upon the outgoing Republican State Executive
Committee; that by the mixture of men of both
parties, they would get some little brains in

appointed. If their first batch of appointments as
published is intended to be fair sample Of
those yet to come.

LARGE CoNTRAcr.-The Government has clos
ed a contract with one Eastern firm for the man.
ufacture of ten thousand sabres. The contrac-
tors are manufacturers of scythes, and their ma

Another Democratic Nominee
IhpcliueS.

Mr.. Tremain who waa nominated by the
Democratic, white-fag, Convention of the
Stale of New York, for Attorney General
has declined the nomination, and says.
l am reluctantly compelled to believe,
as look over the proceedings of the Con-
vention and review others acts ofour prom
inent representative men, that differences of
opinion exist between myself and those who
nominated me, and that on this single war
question, my views are not entirely in har-
mony with theirs. .....
WHAT MR. TREMAIN's VIEWS ARE.
1t is enough to say that at this day a
combination of Rebels exists more formi-
dable than any our country has ever wit
messed, and more wicked in the purpose it
avows than any which has been formed
since the time when Catalne headed the
conspiracy against Rome.
The object Of this conspiracy is to break
up the best Government on earth. 1t lead
ers are now encamped with hosts ofarmed
men in the vicinity Of our National Capt.
al, and we know not how soon the thunder
of hostile cannon may be heard at or with
in its very walls. ~ is ~.
Our couhtry-iis institutions-the Un-
ion-our National name, fame and honor,
everything, in short, that is dear to US as
patriots, the glories of the past and the
precious hopes of the future-all are threat
eded with destruction. u .s.s..
So long as the rebels insist on their u.s.
urped and reasonable Government, and
put forth secession as the cornerstone of
their Confederacy, and remain in arms with
fixed reasonable purposes, we cannot in
itiate negotiations for peace, unless we are
willing to recognize their pretensions and
to divide the Union. When the rebellion
is overcome in whole or in part, or less OBJ
noxious claims are put forth by the rebels,
we can negotiate for settlement. lo
Meanwhile, the great Issue of sustaining
the Union swallows up all minor issues
The rebellion must be crushed, or Republi.
can Institutions fail, and with them perish
Liberty and Democracy. While this NOM
entous question is pending, let our motto
be, "Our Country, our whole country, and
nothing but our country: Our Union first,
last and forever" al5-7l

For the Worcester Daily spy.
Mr.. Edtor:-I discover, under the edi-
torial eye Of the Spy of yesterday, yet an
other censure for having paper on the ball of
the Mimic rifle cartridge. Give me leave to
say that the fault is not in the paper envelope,
but in those who attempt to use them without
tearing the paper off. Any one with but
moderate share of rifle practice will at once
discover that paper envelopes were never in
tended to be used as such tor loading. There
is good deal Of nicely in rife loading the
old way, which should be understood before
we can appreciate the MIME invention. The
old method was long praetced, in loading the
ball with a thin, oiled, but strong linen patch
around it, that was, perhaps, as much for car
rying down the remaining residuum of burned
| powder, as anything else. Wild shots were
| so frequently attributed to the patch being cut
| owing to the sharpness of the rifle, that the
| bore ball became in use, and with more steady,
| good results. A rifle ball wants to 60 down
| snug, SO as to fill up the grooves, and cause it
| to comply with the spiral motion indicated in
the barrel. The philosophy OF said motion
| is, cutting or boring the atmosphere, SO as 10
carry more true. Concal balls and graduated
twists in the barrel are modern Improvements,
in long shots.
The invention OF the Mimic ball was not in
tended to lessen the facility of loading com.
pared to that of a smooth bore, but to adapt
that facility to a rifle, and to do that the inge-
Nous hit was the invention of the conical ball,
with the lower end conceived so as To admit
| OF soft leaden tfdnyes, which, at the firing,
expand and fill up the burrows in the barrel.
1t is fact well understood among gun-mak-
ers, that slug-barreled pistol, even if the
barrel is not over two inches long, will carry
four times the distance of common one, the
ball being round when loaded, but slugged
when leaving the muzzle. z. SNYDER.

Correspondence of the Mobile Advertiser.
Mr.. Russell, of the London Times, sailed
on the morning OF the 18Th tor Mobile. lie
yesterday afternoon visited Fort Pickens, and
acquainted himself with its interior arrange
ments. Before leaving Washington, the pres
ident vested him with authority to revisit any
military point iii possession OF United States
troops On board the Sabine he found several
officers Of the tort, who granted tile same priv
iege to his companions, Messrs. Batre, Lynes
and Ravesies, under pledge OF secrecy OF its
military arrangements. The injunction was
too severe a test 0i their patriotism, and like
gentlemen, they declined the voluntary or.
deal. With Mr.. Russell they spent last night
at the navy yard. They are now in this city
at the Quigles House, and design spending
several days in Pensacola
The "ladies' battery" has received the fin
ishing touch. AT o'clock tomorrow evening
the flag is TO be hois!ed and saluted. The
members vi the Ladies' Military Aid Society
have been invited to the ceremony.
On the 10Th, he adds: eve had an inter
esting military spectacle, yesterday afternoon
the hosting and sauting OF flag, for the
first time displayed over the "ladies' battery
The ceremony was conducted by four beauti-
full young ladies, and two handsome young
lieulenants of the Louisiana battalion. The
guns OF Capt. Homer'sb artery shook the piazza
with their thunder voices.
Several members of Congress awaited them
selves Of the invitation OF the railroad com
pany, TO visit Pensacola. and have spent most
OF the day at Warrington and the Lazy yard.
Among them, Hon. A. X. Wright, of Georgia,
and Hon. ID. 4 Kenner, of Louisiana. Hon.
Howell Cobb also came down.
The Mobile Register publishes the append.
ed note, which doubtless means all that it
says:
PENSACOLA, May II, 1861.
Dear -: They have prepared Two hos.
pitfalls and they are filling with the sick. The
great difficulty is about nurses. The ladies
are all engaged in making clothing for the
soldiers, and if female nurses were to come
here, there are no places for them to lodge.
Provisions and comforts suitable for the sick
are much needed servants are also wanted
to cook and wash The sick have no conl-
forts but what are sent from the city. Mrs.
g. got up at this morning, and searched the
lower part OF the town Tor chickens tor the
sick, and could find but one and that was at
an enormous price. There were fourteen sick
men brought TO the hospital yesterday, affect
ed with brain fever, rheumatism, and bloody
fux. Poor fellows so far from their homes
and mothers, fear thoy are not nursed as
they would be at home. Why are not provs.
ions, including vegetables, sent here from Mo-
bile? Besides paying profit, il would be an
act of charity to send them.

A CoNTUMAIoUs PIECE OF PRoPERTY.-A
Charleston lady, widow OF former resident
of Providence, inherited as part of her hus-
bands estate some eight or ten colored hack
drivers, all of whom were sold except one,
who was lately allowed, somew hat incsutious.

Rhode Island, where she is now staying. 1t
is understood that she is now anxious to take
her property back to Charleston, in order TO
realize its market value, which would be about
one thousand dollars but in this anxiety the
property does not by any means share. With
total disregard OF the blessings of the benign
institution to which he is SO earnestly invited
to return, the darkey answers all appeals,
wheather to duty or sell-interest, by saying,

back" lie even has the temerity to Suppose
that he could look out for himself, in case his
owner should go away without him. AS there
are few men in these parts who would volun.

at this time, for the sake of carrying him back
to Dixie's Land, the chatte rather seems Ia
have the best of the argument.
