COURAGE OF OUR SOLDIERS.

A gentleman who has recently been the
round of the Potomac camps, says:
That some, many, might finch and fall
back if they were suddenly called to con-
front the enemy, ia quite probable. But,
with competent leaders. am sure the great
majority would go on to conflict and con-
quest. The faces, the feelings, and the
acts of the men persuade you that such is
the fact. visited the hospital of the Penn
sylvania Sixth, and conversed with the
wounded in the battle at Dranesville. One
man, forty FIVE years old, quite badly
wounded in the head, in answer to the ques
ton what he would do if his regiment was
called out again, said, eff recover, as I
hope to. and the boys are called out, you
will hear that the old man is along with
them" A young man, Of twenty or so,
received ball in his left cheek, which took
away part of the upper jaw, all his front
teeth. and passed out through his right
cheek. His face was bound up, but he was
comfortable. 1 had heard what he did af-
ter his wound, but wished to know from
him how it was; so asked him. Said he,
II had just fred. I thought I could get
one more shot. I took out my cartridge.

asked him to bite it off for me. He did SO;

has afforded material for some tremendous
couflsgrations. Of all the London fires, that
Of 1666-the great fire. IS it is termed in
nistory--is the most celebrated.
1t broke out early in the morning OF
Sunday, September ed. 1866, close to the
present monument, and ragged for four days
and four nights with undated fury. Every
thing favored the progress of the devouring
element. The dwellings were generally of
wood, pitched on the outside; the roofs
were matched; the streets we're narrow;
the upper stories of the houses projected so
as nearly to touch each other; the wood
was dry and combustible, owing 10 the
heat and drouth of the preceding month:
and at the same time the wind blow furi-
ously from the east. Thus aided, the Fire
King marched VIGOROUSLY from east to
west, and took possession of more than four
hundred acres of ground. He made meal
of four hundred streets and lanes, thirteen
thousand houses, and gormandized over
from ten to fifteen millions of private prop
erty. His course was only arrested when
the wind abated, and an immense gap was
made by blowing up the buildings in the
path of the flames.
Constantinople, the city of the Sultan,
occupies prominent place among the list
of 6re-doomed cities. There was a conla-
grafton in 1899, which consumed twelve
thousand houses and seven thousand per-
sons; at another in 1745. six thousand lives
were lost. Other destructive fires occurred
in 1856 and l771; while another In 1871
destroyed thirty thousand dwellings and
nearly eight thousand people.
Copenhagen has suffered greatly from fire.
1t was three times burnt almost to the
ground, and during the bombardment of
1907 FIRE broke out by which four thou
sand lives were lost. Indeed, at the present
day there are not more than dozen ancient
houses in the Danish capital.
Quebec has suffered severely from fire;
and at the last extensive confagration two
thirds Of the city was destroyed.

son may go directly from hot bath room

couple of tablespoonfuls of water upon some

part. If you must keep partially wet gar
ment on, it would be well perhaps, to wet
the whole of it uniformly. The feet are a.
great source of colds, on account of the
variable temperature they are subjected to.
Keep them always dry and warm, and avoid
drafts of air, hot or cold, wet spots on the
garments and other direct causes of unequal
temperature, and keep the system well brac-
ed up By plenty of sleep, and the eschew-
ing of facilitating food and drinks, and you
will be proof against cold and its results. %

A CnustIc Letter,

In Wheeling, Va, there is a Union pa
per called the PREss, whose loyalty eX-
ponds itself in fighting the Abolitionists
A Virginia subscriber to the Press stop
ped his subscription the other day with
the following note, whose structures will
apply to several other Union papers in
the country:
am in favor now, and always have
been, Of putting down the rebellion by
every means within the reach of the Gen
eral Government. The Press, thought
when l became subscriber, was Of the
same way Of thinking, but from a con-
slant aud careful reading of the Press
from its commencement to the present
time, hnge failed 70 discover this dis
.tinguishing feature exhibited. No leader
has appeared at any time, advocating
this Motley. On the contrary the Press has
wasted its energies and time in fighting
what il calls the abolitiOnists, and ex-
hibiling wonderful fears that the Consti-
tuition of the United STATES in some way
might be disturbed by these men, and
that, TOO, when scarcely one word could
be found in the Press Of condemnation
Of the rebels who were seeking the over
throw of the Constitution of the United
States and the annihilation Of the Coy
ernmcnt itself ! cannot endorse the
course Of the Press; when house is on
fire and IL becomes necessary to stop the
spreading llames, no one doubts the pro-
pricty of the right Of the citizens to blow
up other houses contiguous thereto, and
that, too, without compensation from the
persons that did the work, self-prescrya-
ton being a sufficient apology for the
act. This is no Time when the nation
is attacked by armed rebels, to talk about
violations Of the Constitution. IC it be-
comes necessary TO carry the sword and
the torch throughout the length anC

AnAnnir OF nonor.

The New York Heralds Washington
correspondent says:
An affair Of honor was 20 come of at
Arlington House on Monday, but was
frustrated by the vigilance Of the police.
ltappears that Capt. G. +. Mackenzie, Of
Her Britannia Maiesty's royal army,
while At table at Wizards few nights
ago, asserted the superiority Of English
over American arms. Capt. Whittemore,
Of the United States volunteers, who was
present, expressed his preference for the
Springfield over the Enfield rife. The
English Captain called him fool, and
instantly had a cup of tea thrown in his
face by Capt Whittemore. The result
was challenge from Capt. Mackenzie,
which was accepted by Capt. Whittemore
after having resigned his commission.
After the acceptance, il is said, the Eng
lish Captain desired to back out, but was
informed that he must either fight or
take public horsewhipping. The meet
ing was arranged for this afternoon, in
the vicinity Of the Arlington House, but
the police were az hand, and succeeded in
arresting Capt Mackenzie. His oppo-
nent escaped from the Geld a. the driver
Of pie wagon standing near At hand,
and has not yet been arrested.
