NATURES GUIDE IN TAKING FOOD.

OF all the evidences of creative wisdom that
are furnished by the structure of the human
system there is none more impressive than
the wonderful adaptation of the several organs
to each other. If man wishes to throw a
stone so as to hit any small object, he will
strive in vain to accomplish his purpose by
considering the proper m otion to give his hand
and his b.st course is to fix his eye upon the
object and the n let his hand adjust its motions
TO the line of vision. 1t the nervous energies
are exhausted, the eyelids drop to shut out the
light and thus aid in bringing on that strange
state of sleep by which the vital powers are so
mysteriousy restored. If By violent exercise
the slow fire that supplies heat to the system is
urged to too rapid ON bustion, the pores of the
| skin fall open, and copious perspiration car
ries of the superabundant caloric. When the
bag, that is placed in the center ofthe system to
hold the nourishment which is constantly re-
quired to keep the several organs in action, be-
comes empty, craving of hunger urges re-
newal of the supply. And the sensation of
thirst is the efficient means provided by Ma
ture for continuing the proper quantity of that
liquid in which the various viscera are con-
structed to operate. ~
This adaptation of the sensations of hunger
and thirst to the need of the system is also
shown in the cravelng for particular kinds OF
| food in particular circumstances. In the Arc
tic regions it is necessary that large amount
of heat should be generated in the system
and, consequently, large supply of fuel mu st
| he taken into the stomach. Nature make

Gently published the account of an Esquimaux
belle who ate tallow candle for desert, and
Dr. Kane while in the Arctic regions found
that he and all his men preferred Walrus blub-
Der to any less greasy diet. In the tropics.
on the other hand, the system requires the
generation of little heat internally. and here
the appetite loatbs all greasy food, and Graves
simply grains and fruits.
few years ago it was the universal prac-
| tice OF hysicians to deny fever patients cup
OF cold water to cool their tongues, but larger
experience and more careful observation has
taught thai here also the indications of nature
are more to be trusted than the teachings of
the schools, and the inexpressibIy grateful ad-
ministering of ice has suppressed that cruel
deprivation from moisture by which many
helpless nvalids have been tortured to death.
1t is true that the cravings of the appetite
are to be controlled by the lessons of expert
ence. There are fatal posions which have an
agreeable taste. We have inteliects as well
as paates, and If experiment proves that any
agreeable food is injurious We must abstain
from its use. But until We have made the
trial, we can have no safer guide in the selec-
tion of our food and drink than the natural
demal d OF oDr annafifes --l---.

The Battle at Corinth.
Desperate Character Of the Fight.

Desperate Character Of the Fight.
THE REBELS FINALLY REPULSED.
CoRINrH, Mss, Oct. 5.-Correspondence of
the st. Louis Democrat: On the morning of
the 3D. our outposts we're attacked by the enc
my in force, about six miles northeast of Cor
tntE. Before nine O'Clock the engagement
became general and fierce, and sanguinary
battle was fought.
Our men. under Rosecrans, stood up man.
fnlly, and fought with great coolness and bra
very. But regiment after regiment, and bri-
gade after brigade poured in upon US, and we
we're forced slowly backwards, fighting despe-
rsssiy. n
The rebels pushed forward with determined
obsticacy, and held every foot of advantage
ground. They outhanked our inferior force
on the left, and were attempting to ger in our
rear. We we're obliged to fall back still fur
ther. to prevent this movement from being ac-
compiished.
The enemy were inside of our breastworks.
pushing US back wards towards the town, when
darkness put an end to the fighting for that
day. During the days fight our loss was
heavy, but that Of the enemy must have large
u exceeded ours. Three pieces of the lst
Missouri battery we're captured. s 81
After having stood for go many hours before
the ensmy's fire, the men were consumed by
tbirst and subdned BY the constant exertion.

Our batteries replied, and for an hour or
more heavy cannonading was kept mp. At
the expiration Of that time, two of the rebel
guns had been disabled. and shortly after day
hight their battery of 7lguns were captureds
A protentons quietness soon occurred. and
IL was evident that some movement was being
made BY the enemy.
EThe Western Sharpshooters, under Colone |
Burke, we're ordered forward as skirmishers
to feel the enemy's position. AT half past
nine O'Clock, they met the enemy within
quarter OF mile of the advance of ouI line
of battle, advancing rapidly in heavy columns
upon the town. They Immediately opened
mnrderous fire on the skirmishers, who imme-
diately began to retire, returning the fire OF
the enemy with effect.
The woods seemed alive with rebels, and it
appeared impossible for this gallant regiment
to escape destruction in their retreat over
three quarters of mile of open ground, which
interviewed between them and our temporary
works OF defence.
In few moments the engagement became
general. Our batteries opend destructive
fire on the exposed ranks of the rebels, moving
them down like grass. The slaughter among
them was frightful. But with unparalleled da-
ring and reckiessness they rushed impetuously
forward.
They charged our works desperately, broke
onr lines of infantry, and captured small
fertilization, in which the battery of the First
Missouri was planted.
Our fertrne seemed to be all lest. A tenn
poraiy panic seized our men, and the rebels
once more marched into the streets of fCorinth.
New batteries opened upon them. Our
men, under the direction of few courageous
officers, and stimulated by their example,
though tbinned in ranks, fought desperately.
The advance of the enemy was checked. They
wavered, and then fell back. Our lost bat
terry We regained, and once more it hurled de-
strnction into their ranks.
The day was saved, and the enemy in full
retreat. 4as
Our loss was comparatively small during
this fearful charge. That of the enemy was
fully twenty to our one killed.
The enemy was commanded by Van Dorm,
Price and Vilepiqne, with their respectiv
army corps, numbering $4,000 men.
Itis impossible now to give list of the
casualties.
Our proportion of officers killed is thought
to be large We lost but four takeo prisoners.

4 BATTLEFIELD OPINION ABOUT THE
ELECTION


Below We give paragraph from the letter OF
. soldier who has seen service in the Union
army, and who Is now near Harper's Ferry.
The letter was written Just after the first bat
tie Of Antietarn, and undoubtedly reflects the
sentiments of the great majority OF the soldiers.
1t deserves the careful consideration of every
loyal voter:
"I am much pleased to learn incidentally
that Mr.. Myers has been nominated for Con-
grsss. Don't let him be defeated! The army
has heard with feelings of great concern that
there is danger of the "Peace Party'' triumph
ing 10 New York and Pennsylvania. If this
true, in the name of all that is sacred, let
me ask, what are we in the field for7 II the
people Of the country desire to succomb to the
traitors in arms against the government, they
cannot display it more effectualy to Europe
and the world than by electing the candidates
Of the democratic, or Vallandingham stripe.
II those who have remained at home do not
intend to sustain us in battling for the Consti-
tuition snd the Union nay, if they mean to
insGH US and give aid and comfort to the enc
my by siecting men to Congress and other
positions OF honor and trust who are notori-
ousiy the enemies of the Admin istration and
the war, we may as well lay down our arms
and return to the comforts of home. We can
edure the scorn and contempt of all Chrsten-
dom probably as we'll they can II it is
desired to increase the party in Congress who
will cluster around Vallandingham and his
Confederates, and assist them in opposing the
Government, let tho so called democratic,
candidates be elected. The army is watching
the Congressional canvass in New York and
Penhsylvania with painful interest. On the
choice of thoroughly loyal men for the Nation
al Legislature depends in great measure the
issue Of the war"
