l. Avoid especially all use of ardent spirits
II you will take thef-t take them rather after
fatigue than before. But tea and coffee arc

are always the first to be sick and the most
likely to die
2 Avoid drinking freely OF very cold water,

tables, as squash, potatoes, peas rice, hominy,

Eat little between, when you have plenty at

4. Wear flannel all over in all weathers.-
Have it washed often when you can-when
not have it hung in the sun. Take every OPP
portunity to do the same by all your clothing,
and keep everything about your person dry,
especially whenifiss cold
B. Do not sit and especially do not sleep

great breeders of disease. Have fire to

every thing in and about your persons and

s. Take every opportunity of washing the
whole body with soap and water. Rab well
afterwards. If you bathe, remain in the water

g. If disease begins to prevail, wear wido
bandage of flannel around the bowels.
TO- Keep in the open air, but not directly
exposed to hot sun. When obliged to do
this, q thin, light white covering over the

the feet after washing, with oil, fat or tallow,
protects against foot sores.

SUNDAY FsGHTTSa. The N. Z. Times notsc
ing the fact that the terrible struggle &C Pitts.
burg adds another to the long list of Sunday
battles, says the facts are so clear in this and
numerous other conflicts, and the results have
been so uniform and decisive, that comment "a
not only warranted but demanded, alike by
philosophy, patriotism and piety. The general
statement cannot be geinsyed, that the more
important movements Of the National forces.
in the early stages of the present war, were
made on Sunday, and that they were andenia-
BILE failures. Patterson's column was con.
stantly notorious for its maneuvring on Sun,
days.-and for little else. Big Bethel. Bull
Run, and Balls Bluff were the great blunders
and defeats of attacking armies on Sunday.
All these engagements, excepting Balls Bluff,
under the now imprisoned Gen. Stone, pre-
ceded General McGiellan's noble Sabbath
order
Thenceforward the rebels have made Sun
day assaults, with invariable loss of the battles
thus waged. Mill Spring opened their career
of Sunday fighting, which closes with Pitts
burg The battle of Winchester was begun
on Sunday morning. The first Of these battles
cost the rebels Kentucky; the second, the
valley Of Virginia; and the third, the Missis-
sippi valley. The Morrimac, too, after its des-
tructive Saturdays raid, ran muck against
the Monitor on Sunday, and has spent month
in repairing damages. Ia fact, since we have
ceased the business of Sunday fighting and
the rebels took it up we have had only victo-
ries to record, and they only defeats and sur
renders. Fort Donelson and Island No. 10
were our Sunday morning benson on weekday

brought to Wheeling as a prisoner of war
The Intelligencer says:
Mr. Conrad was a member of the Richmond
Convention which passed the ordinance of Sc
cession, and stood side by side with the
best of the Union men of Northwestern Vir-
gina refusing at all times to vote for the or
dinance. He returned home however, and
Governor Letcher made him Brigadier Gen.
eral. That seems to have been a fatal bait
and ever since he has been recognized as Sc
cessionist. A week or so ago he came to the
Federal officers at Sutton, in Braxton county,
and gave himself up, and Major Darr had him
brought down here, that his case might be in
vestisatcd.

TIE Southern cities whose mobs year ago
cheered the cause of Secession until their
throats grew hoarse, have other employment
now. The fair danes who denounced and af-
fected to despise the flag of the Union as a
weak and dshonored emblem, behold its pow
er proven and Its glory sustained. Looking
at the fate of Newbern, Of st. Augustine, and
of Nashville, the people of Savannah, Charles
ton, New Orleans and Mobile watch with in
tense eagerness the movements of the fleets
and armies that are closing around them with
the resistless grasp Of destiny. Each day
brings its fresh alarms. Each mail dissilates
some unfounded hope. Each moment teaches
them that they have trusted in leaders who
are as weak as they are false. Want and ter
ror are almost universal. In vain do they
plead for protection to their betrayers. The
conspirators are powerless for good. They
cannot give sustenance to those they have
brought to the verge of starvation; they can
not bring back trade and prosperity to those
they have ruined. Their only counsel is-to
destroy; their only answer to the tales of woe
dcstitution, and misery that pierce their ears,
iS-you must encounter new losses and priya-
tions, and all the vestiges of your former com
fort that We left you must burn, to prevent
then, from falling into the possession of the
Union troops.

- A Chicago man, who has spent the
last three years in Texas, New Orleans, and
Memphis, has arrived at Cairo. He left New
Orleans three weeks since, and makes the fol-
lowing report
cat the time the citizens were expecting an
attack of the federalists daily. the result of

as the defenses of the city are unimportant.
comprising only two or three forts, mounting
seven guns in all, and of small calbre. Seven
gunboats were in process of construction
three to be plated with boiler iroE, and four
with railroad iron. The boiler plated bsats
we're by no means formidable, and could not
for momont withstand an attack of our gun
boats, but the railroad iron plated ones were
very long, sharp, and last, and although vul>
nerable in many places, still were possessed Of
great strength, and might prove formidable
opponents to our fleet.
Between New Orleans and Memphis there
are few, if any fortifcations. Orders have
been issued by the rebel war department to
fortify the mouth of the Red River, Helena,
Napoleon, Vcksburg and Natchez, but it is
doubtful if all the southern factories can turn
out sufficient ordnance to meet the order
They are forced to look entirely within their
own borders for cannon, and even small arms.
The blockade has been strictly maintained,
and the continual reports published in south
srn papers, OF the arrival of arms from foreign
countries, are simple roorbacks to keep up the
courage Of the people The character of the
southern small arms is wretchcd, composed
largely of the old United States muskets of
breech- loading pattern, and about as efficient
as so many cornstalks. The best arms in the
possession of the rebel government were used
aa Fort Donclson, and in fact the users them
selves were the flower of the rebel army,
picked for the occasion.

DESPERATE STRAITS OF THE REBELs-It is
not long ago since some of the Southern pa
pers strongly advocated that the types i'm the
printing offices, and the solder from the old
iron fences, should be melted down to moke
bullets in consequence of the scarcity of lead
They recommended that all the old type metal
should be used first, and if that was not suffi-
cent then let the new type go; for what were
newspapers compared to bullets in such an
emergency? A still more novel mode of sup
plying the desperate necessities of the rebels
is now urged. 1t is no less than proposition
10 all the churches to send in their bells to the
arsenals, to be cast into artillery guns, as
there is an absolute dearth of the kind OF
metal required for that purpose. The clergy
are promised that new bells shall be cast for
them when the war is over. These incidents
show 10 what terrible straits the subjects OF
jeff Davis are reduced for the materials of
war. Surely the balls thrown from this
church bell artillery would issue tonss of re-
proach upon the unholy cause in which they
were employ ed.--N Y Times.

Power which could sustain itself in spite of all
the disadvantages that attended the commence
mcnt of the present struggle. The blessings
g. OF solid and enduring peace fec from those who
are toe weak to command repose. Power is,
in all ages and countries, essential to substan-
tial prosperity and national freedom from the
alarms and horrors of war. England has for
centuries accumulated wealth by immunity
from attack and invasion, while she has, di-
rectly or indirectly, participated in terrific con-
tests in nearly every country on the globe
Mexico, failing to suppress her internal rebel
lions, has lost all her available wealth by a
protracted reign of anarchy, and the exposure
Of her weakness, joined to faithlessness to her
creditors and to her treaty stipulations, has
made her an easy and favoritc prey Of foreign
Governments. Within a comparatively short
period she has been attacked by France and
by the United States, and but recently France,
Spain, and England have made combined
onset upon her. The eagle is rarely assailed-
the weak birds are continually pounced upon.
The American people will find in long genera
tions of peace, or in the ability to make war
where and when they choose, much to com
pensate them for the evils of the present strug
gle, If they prosecute it to successful conclu.
sion. Failure now-which we hope and believe,
however, is a moral mpossibility--would Grip
pie our nation forever, and probably soon lead
to its total destruction. 1t is like planetary
system-so constituted that no star can be
struck from its proper position without endan-
gering our whole political armament. If the
doctrine Of Secession once prevails over any
portion of our territory, precedent will be es-
tahlshed for the entire overthrow Of all ves-
tgcs of Federal authority. 1t is the profo md
meas Of this conviction in the minds of noble
and patriotic people that advances the loyal
cause with an irresistible impulse and that
prompts cheerful acquiescence in every de-
mand and every sacrifice necessary to secure
the saliva ion Of the Union.
