SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER II, 1862.

On the evening previous to our return to
Harrisburg, Il meeting of the regiment was
held in front of Col. MCClay's quarters, at
which nearly all the officers made short but
stirring speeches. Senator Lawrence now
Speaker of the Senate, and high private
in a compay from Washir44on county. read
the Presidents Emancipation Proclamation
and then made an eloquent speech in its sup
port which was heartily and cnthusiastical-
ly received. Resolutions were passed thank
ing the officers for the good care they took
of the regiment. favOring the Emancipation
proclamation of the President, also that the
proceedings be published in the Harrisburg
Telegraph. to be copied from there by the
papers of all the counties represented in the
regiment. At the close three cheers were
given for the President, for Gov. Curtin. for
the Chairman. and for the officers, when the
meeting adjourned long to bc remembered
by the participants,
! must not neglect to mention that Il con-
traband who came into our camp at llagCrs-
town, was quite Il popular institution i'll our
regiment, making speeches occasionally to
the different companies of the regiment in
which he pictured the life of a slave at the
South, his connection with the Southern
army, and his escape thcrctrom. He left the
rebel army the day before the battle of An
tietam by hiding himself under n bridge
He was the most intelligent contraband that
we have vet seen from the South. He tells
a straight story. He was asCrvant in Stone
wall Jacksons division, whom he knows,
and says that lie puts on Il different suit
every day. Also, that he is a praying man !;
says he saw Gen. Longstrcct fall off his horse
but did not know whether he was killed or
not. He is II house painter by trade, and
owned by John p. Bates. of Edgeiicld, :.
Carolina, and belonged to the 10Th regiment
:. c. Volunteers, Col. NcSCoe. He was en-
pioyed by company from Washington CO..
as cook, who took him bone with them.
This was his first visit to Pennsylvania. His
name was Wm. Anderson Fourt
On the arrival Of the regiment at Harris
burg. we were marched to the camp at the
state Capitol, where we remained durin"
the day. going to the State Arsenal where
we were relieved of our arms and equip
mcnts. The paraphcrnalia Of war equip
ments, at the arsenal was a sight worth see
ing. About in the evening we entered
the cars for home, where, after numerous
delays on the route we reached Sunbury at
- o'clock at night when the company
separated, and the members retiring to their
respective homes. and thus ended the
campaign of Co. T.. 18th Pennsylvania Mill
tia, one that will long be remembered by all
its members. Yours.

c. TOWER, EsQ.--Dcdr Sir Il have duly
considered the importance Of your inquiry
relative to my personal knowledge of the
attempt made some eighteen months ago by
f. W. Hughes, Esq, to switch" the State
of Pennsylvania out of the Union, in nearly
the same manner, and by the same unholy
means that were employed to carry Tcnnes-
see, Missouri, Louisiana, and other States
out and in compliance with your request,
will cndeavor to give plain, unvamished
statement of such facts as may be possessed
of, contiuing myself as strictly as possible,
to the precise language used at the time.
A day or two prior to the assembling OF
the Democratic State Convention at Harris
burg, in February, 1861, heard 1t bruited
about that Mr.. Hughes, (who was delegate
to that Convention,) designed to introduce
in that body resolution, the object of which
was to carry Pennsylvania out of the Union,
and Join the so-called Southern Confederacy,
Thereport, Notwithstanding my knowledge
of Mr.. Hughes sympathy for the South, Che
having previously told me in conversation
with him, that the only mistake OF Mr..

COnsauguincOus Marriages.

The danger Of conSanguinouS marriages,
and their influence in multiplying deaf and
dumb cases among children is the subject Of
a paper presented to the Academy of Science
at Paris by Mr.. Boudin. 1t supplies matter
for grave consideration. Taking the whole
number of marriages in France, the con
Sanguinous represent per cent, while the
proportion of deaf and dumb births at Lyons
at least % per cent; at Paris 2S per cent ;
ut Bordeaux, 80 per cent. The nearer the
cOnsanguinity of parents, the more does this
proportion increase; and if we represent by
/ the danger Of hcgctting deaf and dumb
child from an ordinary marriage, it would
have to be represented in IS marriages be-
tween cousins german; by 3. in marriages
between unclcs and ncccs and by 20 in
marriages between ncphcws and aunts. Ii
will surprise some readers to hear the sub
icct is one in which the religious element is
involved: PTotcstaniSm is more favorable
to consanguinious marriages than Roman
Catholicism is; and it appears by a return
from Berlin, that the proportion of deaf and
dumb children in 10000 Catholics in that
city was 81 in 10000 Of other Christian
sccts, mostly Protestant, it was q and
among Jews, - in 10000. \ similar result
Games out in other circumstances. BY a
census taken in the territory of Iowa in 1910,
there were found 2'3 deaf and dumb in 10
600 whites: 2l2 deaf and dumb in 10000
blacks Slaves, or 81 times more than among
the whites In this case, the habits of the
blacks were favourable to the increased
result. 1t is found that where intcrmarriugcs
is in some sort necessity. from gcOgrphi-
cal position, there is an immense increase in
the proportion of deaf and dumb births, for
the whole Of France, the proportion is in
10000 in Corsica, it rises to II in 10000 :;
in the High Alps, to 23 in the Canton of
Bcrne, to 2S. In Iceland, it is II. The
whole number of the deaf and dumb in Ell
rope is estimated ut 100000; and when We
consider that other infrmitics of very
serious character, including idiocy, are dis
tinctly traCcable consanguincOus marriages,
we are led to inquire, what are the means by
which relatives may bc persuaded not TO
marry one another Is it not Il question
which Social Science Associations, might
take up and discuss with advantage
