The effect Of tobacco upon the nervous
system was one Of the important subjects
which attracted the attention Of the British
Association at its late meeting. DR.. Smith
read paper on the effects Of "the weed"
upon pulsalion, arguing that tobacco oper-
ated differently upon different constitu-
tions. and under different circumstance,
and demonstrating that, as rule, smoking
accelerated the pulsation. A discussion
ensued, in the course of which literary man
appeared to be generally accepted as the
most fitting exponent Of results. Here,
however, doctors differed. One gentlemen
maintained that the effects of tobacco were
stimulative of vital and mental action; 9th
ers praised its soothing effects while 9TH
er gentlemen maintained, as rule, 1t was
supplying and destructive OF the means Of
obtaining the results desired. Ultimately
the question was left an open one, and is
likely so to continue.

EDIroRs LEADER:-Fivs or six hundred
miles distant from the seat Of war, people
are prone toeonelude that a letter from
the "base" of military operations
should be of the most attractive and inter
esting character, vOluminous, spicy, enter
tanning, Your correspondent was once so
impressed; but the experience of few
days in camp-nOt Of single regiment,
but of large force-hss satisfied him Of
the folly of such q notion, with the re-
strietions imposed upon the press.
A former resident fer several years in
this part of the old Commonwealth, know
ing Harper's Ferry only as beautiful
village on the Potomse, nestled among
lofty hills, quiet enough in its solitude for
the home of poet, its romantic and pic
turesque surroundings full of attraction
for the painter, you may imagine my emo
tions when week since rambled through
its ruins and marked the course Of tho des-
olating simeon of war. Some of the build
ings, whose places are now only known by
their foundations and uneouth piles Of
brick, were familiar to my boyhood.-
Pleasant "reminiscences were associated
with them but their recollection only serv-
ed to make the spectacle oftheir desolation
more sad and turned from them with the
repress, that the red hand Of vengeance
might not be paralyEed until it had fallen
upon the guilty heads of those who by
their reereancy to every holy duty started
upon its course the devastating Juggernaut
Of civil war in our once fair land. That
armies are mighty vehicles of destruction
one has only 10 visit the country hereabout
to learn. A barren waste, with no other |
evidence that the hand of civilized man had |
ever been employed upon 1t than that pre-
ssnted by the desolate looking farm houses /
here and there, stretches away on every /
hand as far as the vision, assisted by the |
strongest glass, can penetrate. And am /
told that this is fair region as compared /
with many portions Of Virginia, through I
which the armies have passed.
hardly know what I may say Of milf |
tary matters here, that is not already IA
niliar to you through the correspondents /
IF the Eastern Press. This portion Of 4
he army is quiet, and 30 far as is yet
known, will remain here for the defence
of this position until ell danger to it ahali
be removed, The enemy maintains g
attitude along our entire

within three miles Of our main force, and
,loze musket range Of our outposts. The
rebel piekets seldom show themselves, and
hence 1t is impossibls to know their

Concerning Mcclellan, the evidence ad-

pressed By the Commission are most direct
and damaging. The General-in-Chief tes-
tifes thst General Mcclellan, after receive
ing orders to drive the enemy from Mary

per day in pursuit, and that, in his opin-
