A letter from General Halleck to Secretary
Stanton has been published, dated October %,
which contains some of the reasons, no doubt,
why Gen. Mcclellan has been removed from
the command Of the army of the Potomac
Gen Halleck states that Gen. McClellan's ar
my has been promptly and abundantly supplied
with clothing, provisions, &C., and all his re-
ouisitions complied with; and that, therefore,
Gen. McClellan's complaint Of the want OF
supplies, preventing him from moving, IS
groundess-that he failed to ''move on, Tor
three weeks after he was ordered to do so;-
and, generally, that there is no excuse CT toun-
iation for the alleged deficiency IN sending
shoes, blankets, horses, tents &c, and that
Gen Mcclellan statements as to the wants OF
his army, are exaggerations- and that he should
have moved on faster than he has done,
In q speech delivered at Utica, n. T., since
the result Of the New York election, Governor
Seymour said THE Democracy would offer
no opposition to the legal actions OF the Presl-

any constitutional measures Of the Admins
tration; on the contrary, it would be sustained
in every constitutional demand for the prose
aution Of the war There must be no more
higher laws, but only the law OF the Federal
compact He denied the charge that the DEM
ocratic party were not loyal to the government.
They Cpl osed the government only because 1t
failed to fulfill the promises with which it as
sumed the reins Of power

Nearly all of our company are well
now. Some few are sick, but none seri-
ously. All seem to be contented-ready,
and willing to do their duty, Our Cap
tain has been sick for the past few days,
but is better now. No company in our
regiment can boast of better Captain.
We honor him in one respect. He is a
strong temperance man; which, | am
sorry to say, cannot be said of all the
officers in our regiment. The besetting
sin Of soldiers seems to be profanity.
Lieutenant Flint, and Sergeants Grant
and Mason are well, aud rs ambitious as
ever. Corpora! Pearsons with his sober
face which covers up a great deal OF
mischief, is liked by all who get acquan-
ted with him. Corporal Perry was not
well when he came here but is getting
tough now, and better hearted boy is
not to be found in our company. Ira
Drew, Charles Hopkins, Frank Mead,
George and Theodore Skinner are well,
and | think have never been sorry that
they enlisted, and they make good sol
diers, too. If | could mention each one
of the Orleans county boys, | should have
to say the same of them all. The camp
is no place to improve the morals Of
young men, but | think with officers that
would set a proper example much could
be done to influence the men and stimu-
late them to try and be good men as well
as good soldiers.
The sick and those left to take care of
them at Burlington, arrived here Satur-
day evening last, all well but much IA
tigued. They had been on the road five
days,
think l have written enough now to
tire your patience, but please accept this
as it is and overlook all imperfectons and
mistakes.
Yours very respectfully,

DIPruERIA.-In diptheria the blood
is impregnated with specific poison for
which the protoxide of nitrogen is the
antidote. In the treatment Of the dis
ease, therefore, the physician should d.
rect the patient to inhaIe the prctoxide
from a suitable apparatus, until its effects
are manifested in considerable exhiIara-
ton, and, after an hours intermission,
chlorine should be inhaled to check the
tendency to DISCRIMINATION in the mucus
membrane. Under the combined ac-
ton of these remedies few hours ar
rest the disease and save the life Of the
patient The oxygen Of the protox ide
purifes the blood, while the antiseptic
properties of the chlorine arrest the ten
dency to sloughings and gangrene. Be-
sides these means, the throat should be
washed every few hours with strong
solution of chlorinated soda, applied with
a pharyngeal syringe. Treated in this
manner, dipthera is a simple disease, and
will not prove fatal in one case out of a
hundred.
