How the Yankees stand the Climate of
South Carolina.

South Carolina.
A Yankee correspondent, writing from
Port Royal, December IA, gives the follow
ing account of the effect which the climate
of South Carolina has had upon the health
of Lincoln's minions, who have recently
desecrated the soil of that State
The SANITARY condition of the troops has
assumed special interest in connection
with proposed building of temporary gen.
eral hospital for the division. A New York
paper of November 20 is before me, in
which it is said that the troops at Port
Royal are in good health and spirits. Simi-
lar statements I understand have been
|geneally made and believed. Now for the
facts. -
Ninety eight soldiers have died since
the expedition left Annapolis, October 81 !;
eighty-four since it landed at Port Royal,
November T. The whole number of sick
from its arrival to the end of November,
exclusively of the 9th Michigan, was a.
282. OF this number there remained at
the end of that month 634 requiring hos
pital treatment. The 9th Michigan, not
included in the above, because its returns
have been sent back for correction, has
suffered more than any other regiment, and
would swell the tolal of sick to nearly S.
900. The returns for December are not
made up. More than 800 patients are now
iu hospital; still larger number requir-
ing hospital treatment are left in quarters
for want of hospital tents, and the sick list
daily increases.
The division was landed at Port Royal
before the frost had destroyed the deadly
growth of marsh and swamp, and malaria
fell with its most fatal effect on the exhaus-
ted systems of soldiers who had been OBJ.
liged to work in the water, and to 60 to
their tents at night wet, chilled and tired,
with no change Of clothes, or means of
warmth. The fatal diseases have been,
with the exception of small pox and ty-
phuid fever, almost entirely those incident
to the climate, and caused in this climate
BY over-work and exposure, especially in
the water. These diseases are congestive
and remittent fever, acute dyseutery, and
malarious pneumonia, all of the most
malignant and dangerous type. Six cases
of small pox has resulted fatally, every one
of which would have been saved by proper
hospital accommodation. Eighteen cases
are now in hospital, some of which will be
fatal for the same reason.
The sudden change of weather and fall
in the temperature, December 3, was fol-
lowed by instant increase in the number of
ieaths. That night three men we're lite
rally frozen to death two cases of small
pox and one of cougestive fever all in a
fair way of recovery, but unable to resist
the cold against which there was no protec.
tiou. The almost equally sudden change
of last Wednesday night brought with it
great increase of suffering to all the sick,
and two other men in with the congestive
fever, who would otherwise have recovered ,
we're killed by the cold.
I have for these statements the authority
of one of the ablest surgeons attached to
the division, who siad to me that he would
risk his professional reputation on accuracy
of the assertion.

AMUSING INoIDENr-INDEPENDENT
CONFEDERATE G LAD.-A gentleman who
has recently reached his Southern home
under flag of truce from Old Point re,
lates au amusing incident, which occurred
immediately within his hearing. As the
Federal and Confederate steamers neared
each other, about two miles from Fortress
Monroe, couple of lads, apparently of the
same age and size, but belonging to differ.
ent sections of the now ruptured Union, ap
preached the forward part of their respec-
tive boats, and a Simultaneous recognition
ensued. The boats being lashed together
for an exchange Of passengers, the follow
ing dialogue took place:
Federal Boy-Have you got a Norfolk
paper?
Confederate-What business is it of
yours ?-straighteniug himself up, and as
suming most independent mien.
Feaeral-Wouli like to buy it?
Canfeolerate-Won't sell it.
Fsderat--I'll give you silver dollar for
it-someshing you haven't seen since the
war commenced.
Contederate-We have just as many dol
lars as we waut-both gold and silver.
Federal-Then | have heep misntorm
ed
Coafsaerate-Iudeed you have. But if
you want a Norfolk paper, III give you one
for a New York Herald
Fh'eral-Agreed.
Here both lads we're seen. to slip paper
from their jackets, and quietly hand them
over. Upon opening their papers, the Her.
a5.s proved to be a double sheet, and the
Norfolk paper but a half sheet. "Look
here" said the Federal, "this is not 9 fair
exchange. You have get the advantage
of me-" - never make childreu's bar

Russians sunk several of their ships with
the view of preventing the entrance of En-
lglish and French vessels of war. But if
the Federal Government desire by this ex-
|pedient to relieve their own ships by thus
blocking up Southern ports, they must be
perfectly aware that there is at once an end
of the blockade in every instance in which
their new plan is to apply. Sunken ves-
sells will not constitute blockade. let them
be as ''affective" as they may; and wher-
ever the Federal Government shall thus
substitute suuken vessels for its ships-of-
war, then the blockade is at once termina-
ted by the consent of all nations.
We draw attention to the rational and
friendly manner in which the Southern
President alludes to the attitude maintain
ed hitherto towards America by this coun.
try, because We regard our relations With
the Southern States as henceforward of
very considerable importance. These States
have now attained such position that We
must bring ourselves to believe in the per-
manence of their independent confedera.
ton. We have differences with the North
in which the Southerners are directly iu.
terested; and We have just concluded a
treaty with the Jaurez Government of Mex
leo for settlement of our long standing
claims upon that country, under the "Ald-
ham Convention" and other recorded OBJ
legations. Our naval expedition to the
Gulf of Mexico is charged with the execu-
tion of these terms and, probably, before
February next the system of sequestration
of customs revenue at Vera Cruz and Tam
pico will have been put into action, and the
proceeds be accumulating for distribution
under the mixed commission between the
despoiled residents and the wrouged bond
holders. We must look upon this inter-
vention as one that may be iu operation du-
ring considerable period of time; and
while the .Northeru Government is too dis
tant to admit of its attitude entering mate.
rally into this question, in Southern con-
federation, on the other hand, stretches for
a great distance along the frontier Of Mexi
co, so as to render its friendly disposition
to the authors of the entervention of no
slight consequence. The Northern Gov
ernment has invariably rallied at our ueu-
trality; but the Southern. with stateman-
ship and moderation, has recognized in it
all that We could do for either party; and
whether with view to our transactions in
Mexico, or TO our relations with the Cabinet
at Washington, the friendly forbearauce of
the Southern Coufederacy is an important
point in our favor.-London Post, Dec. 7.
