ISFLeENcE OF HoT WEATHER UPON
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN So1DIERs.-In
the medical statistics of the army from
1887 TO 1854, transmitted TO Hon. ]. ID.
Bright, President of the Senate, By Jeff,
Davis, Secretary Of War, July %, 1856.
on pages 600 and 62l, will be found a
statement showing the power OF sndur-
ance Of South Carolina and New
York regiment; respectively. South
Carolina LIST, l,034 men, campaign of
l847 eighteen and half months service,
loss by disease, 500; New York ed.
1908 men, seventeen and half mouths
service, loss by disease. 276. From this
comparison Of Northern regiment with
a Southern one, in hot country cam
paign. it appears that the Southern regi-
ment lost by disease very nearly twice as
many as the New York regiment in about
the same length OF time, and the loss from
all other causes was one-third less 10 the
Northern than TO the Southern regiment.

Our Military Correspondence.
FROM THE FORTY SECOND REGIMENT.

FROM THE FoRrY-sEcoND REGIMENT.
CAMP Moss HOUSE, Ky, }
June 4'h, 1862.
DEAR DEMocRAr IL fain would write
to you OF our inactivity. while, in nearly
all the other departments, our glorious
troops are achieving shining vciories.-
But assure those who have friends ia
this division, that. although we are and
have been for some time apparently in.
active, we are holding in check An enemy
which might well attract the attention ol
a force much superior TO our own. 1t is
well known to our officials that within sup.
porting distance of Cumberland Gap,
there are forces sufficient 10 swell the en-.
emy's number al the Gap TO twenty thou.
sand then think il is well for us TO be
cautious. We are within eight miles Of
the enemy's works.
A few days ago, visited place called
Log Mountain, about six miles this side of
the enemy's Notifications. After climb.
ing an hour, reached the top. Several
officers were viewing the enemy with
glasses. conld see, without the aid of a
glass, in the Gim distance, the outline of
their camp. and their line Of ear,hworks
could be Traced distinctly. Presently.
through the kindness Of Lieutenant,
got a peep through glass. Never before
did / see such a city Of tents. Before
had seen this second Gibraltar. l WAS
quite anxious that we should make an ad-
vance, but | must say my ideas OF an
advance suddenly vanished. Several
times have heard and seen this expedi.
tion spoken Of, as Of the least account,
when compared with others of like
character; but the present indications are
that this will soon be one of the most i'm
portant OF the enemy's positions, as it is
one Of the strongest.
The heavy timber has been felled for
miles around the Gap. The Gap itself
appears, when viewed from Log Mountain,
like notch in the vast range OF noun
,ains. There; on either side, the slope is
quite gradual, excepting here and there a
rugged peak shoots up Their line OF
Notifications on the left Of the Gap, ex.
tends, should judge, for upwards Of
half mile. Beside numerous rifle pits
and extensive redoubts. at the extreme
left, the highest point is being strongly
fortified, aod mounts Ga .pounder gun.
On the right there is high, rocky point,
which is extensively fortified, and, unless
siege is given them, this point will be
almost impregnable. The enemy have a
strong force at Big Creek Gap. Gen.
Spears, with his brigade, holds them in
check. We have quite extensive forti.
ficatons, which have been built under
the direction OF Col. DeCourcey. He is
one OF the ablest officers in this division.
Our pickets are often alarmed, and
frequently some one who is not disposed
to be on the lookout, gets bagged.

SOUL SIGNS.

AS the wind harp sings the changes
OF the ver'vurying wind,
So the voice betTnys the ceilings
Passing through the human mind
Loud, when nssions dark and bitter,
In their tempest ierceness roll,
Desecrating inner nlIdrs--
Through the deep depths OF the soul
Sad and low, when white .hucd sorrow
Takes the place OF blisslul things,
That have ctCered oUr snow white winters
And made glad our hower.crowned springs
SOIL and sweet, when words OF kindness
Fail upon the mournere ear,
Drawing often times the angels
From their blessed homes TO hear.
Calm and holy. when Religion
Stpnds high priest within the soul,
Changing not its rich toned key note,
Though around the wild storms roll.
Eloquent, when high nsl rings,
Like the skylark heavenward go;
Blythe accents Of these soul. tones,
Ii is ours the soul to know.
And the soul looks out from iaces---
By the slnrriness Of eyes
We mny know who holds communion
With the things beyond the skies.
On the brow is stamped The impress.
If faith sublime and deep
Points the road that leads to heaven.
And the teet that highway keep.
If we drink from Truths Great Fountain.
Round the brow halo lies,
or steady, lus,rous shining,
Visible 10 angel eyes
And this halo throws n brightness
Der the face that mortals see,
AS the golden beams of sunshine
Rest upon the grassy lea.
If with Christ we suffer anguish E.
II a crown of thorns we wear
II up Calvary's rugged pathway,
1t is ours the cross TO bear;- =
II We do it nonly, brnvely,
With the faith OF Him who died.
Through the face will shine the lory
OF q sorrow sanctiied
Perfect peace oft lies on faces,
Where such souls have sought their rest.
As the sun leaves, in its setting,
Clouds OF glory in the west
If the soul be all illumined;
BY the hand OF God divine,
Holiness, and love, and mercy,
Will above its features shine.
But. il sin rests on the altar,
When the lamp light We should place,
Nought but doubt, and gloom, and anguish,
Will be written on the face.
We can have our faces mantled
With q calm, celestial light,
Or reflect the mystic shadows
VI dark, terrestrial night
One will tell of Joys baptism,
One bctruy despair and woe
BY these sOul.lghts, and sou shadows,
1t is ours the soul to know
And the soul too gives the motion
Slow and heavy, when within
Lies heavy weight OF anguish,
From the burden OF u SIM
Light and fectly tripping footsteps
Mark the spirit g!ad and gay;
All subdued and trembling are these.
Pointing out the mournfr's way.
BY noble, high exDression,
BY a calm nnc holy mien,
BY voice of fiute-ike music,
Is perfect, true soul seen.
Ever where these truly mingle,
Harmony Of life is found,
Which will send its heaven taught music
AS flower lis fragrance round.
And this harmony will follow,
AS blessing freely given,
II we strive TO tune the life.harp
For the minstrelsy of heaven.
And the soul will give forth music
Such as God will love to hear
Such as angels and archangels
Bend TO catch with listening e-r.
Thus will life have played its solo
Here upon the shores Of time,
To the grand and glorious music
OF eternal truths sublime.
