Breathe through the Nose.

George Catlin, the famous painter and
investigator of the habits and customs of
Indian tribes, has recently published a
pamphlet, entitled The Breath of Life,' in
which he undertakes to demonstrate that
the common practice of breathing through
the mouth is very detrimental to health.
He says that it is not natural habit, for
when God created man EHe breathed the
breath Of life into mans nostrils,' and why
should he not continue to live by breathing
it in the same manner? The mouth was
made for the reception and mastication of
food for the stomach and other purposes ;
but the nostrils, with their delicate and f.
brous Innings for purifying and warming the
air in its passages, have been mysteriously
constructed, and designed to stand guard
over the lungs-to measure the air and
equalize its draft during the hours of repose.
The atmosphere is nowhere pure enough
for mans breathing until it has passed this
refining process, and therefore the impru-
dence and danger OF admitting it in an
unnatural way, in double quantities upon
the lungs, and charged with the surround
ing epidemic or contagious infections Of the
moment The impurities of the air which
are arrested by the intricate organization
and mucus in the nose are thrown out again
from its interior barriers by the returning
breath. The air which enters the lungs ia
as different from that which enters the nos
trils as distilled water is different from the
water in an ordinary cistern Or frog pond
He argues that the habit Of sleeping
with the open mouth is particularly hurt
full; points out number of diseases which
are traceable to this cause, and among the
rest ascribes the early decay of the teeth
to 1.-THE MorduiGn.

Saturday, Aug. 8, 1862.
This has been an eyentful day with the
army of Virginia. 1t had been known
since yesterday morning that the rebels
were in force Immediately in our 'front.'.
They had been driving back General Bay
ards cavalry for several hours before the
force under General Crawford was sent
forward 70 give them battle, and no sooner
had We arrived here than our outposts were
fred upon by their pickets. Skirmishing
was kept up all the afternoon, and the ene-
my held completely in check; but it was
not until o'clock p. m. that the fight as
sumed the dignity of battle. At that
hour, the rebels opened their artillery upon
General Crawford from the wood, to the
right of the road about one mile. This
was done to ascertain the position of our
batteries, and if possible bring out our
force. General Crawford ordered Knapp'a
Pennsylvania Battery to reply, and, at the
second she'll, the enemy's guns were silen-
ced. Their long line of cavalry had moved
around high hill on our left, towards the
Rapidan Ford. At once strong force of
cavalry was thrown in that direction, and
soon after, the enemy, finding he could do
nothing, countermarched his cavalry g our
right. Thus matters stood, the large force
of the enemy having been held in check
by Gen Crawford's single brigade of infan-
try, artillery, aud cavalry. The cannon
aiding continued on both sides until p.
m, when Gen Banks appeared upon the
field with Gen. Augur's division and the
remainder of Gen. Williams division
Gen. Crawford's force, consisting of the
18th New York, COL Donnelly; 46th
Pennsylvania, Col. Knipe; 10th Maine,
Col Beal, and 5th Connecticut, Col. Chap
man, with battery of the 4th United
States Artillery, under Lieut. Mullen
burgh Roemer's New York Battery and
Knapp Pennsylvania Battery, were now
thrown to the right, with the exception
of the artillery, for the purpose of making
movement on the enemy's fank-the
! most important movement of the day

Extraordinary Developments in Indiana


Extraordinary Developments in Indiana
The report of the Grand Jury of the
District Court of the United States, in the
State of Indiana, for the May term, makes
the most fearful and startling disclosures
all proving that the traitorous association
known as the Knights of the Golden Cir.
Gle, extends through the Western States
and no doubt into this. We extract por.
ton of this report, to show our readers the
danger Of the operations Of this order:
"The Knights of the Golden Circle have
signals by which they can communicate with
each other In the day or the night time, and
above all, they had a signal or sign which
may be recognized at great distance from
the person giving it. This last signal we
regret to say, was invented for TIE use Of such
members as should, by means Of The draft on
otherwise, be competed TO Se''Ue IN the ranks OF
the dTmy. In such case, members of the or
der serving IN opposing armies receiving the
sign, are reminded Of their obligation not to
1lJure the member gtciRg 1t. This signal is
given IN every instance upon the intimation
of a new member, and its observance is strict
~ enjoined upon every individual belonging
TO the order. By the teachings of the organ
ization, it is the duty of its members engaged
In the present war, although arrayed on op-
poste Sides upon the signal being given, if
they shoot at all, "t0 shoot oUer euch OTHER"
Many members of the order examined before
us admit the binding force ofthe obligation
and pretend 10 justify ii as correct in prjnci-
pIe."
What freeman will not start with horror
at such a disclosure, and what man will
wonder any longer at some of the extraor-
dinary reverses which have overtaken our
armies, when it is confidently known that
there are those in high commands and low
positions, now in the federal armies, strong
ly suspected of being attached to this or
der. Here is another extract, pregnant
with meaning and danger:
Not only are the loyal soldiers in the arnv
to be treacherous1y betrayed in the bloody
hour of battle, by the signals before referred
to, but said Grand Jury have abundant evil
depce Of the membership binding themselves
to resist tie payment Of the Federat tao and
preUent ealistments IN the armies Of the United
States.
The idea of resisting the payment of
taxes has been put forth in this state, by
more than one man suspected of belonging
to this order of traitors, and the fact of en-
listments is too fresh in the minds Of the
public to need any present reference at our
hands.
When such developments are made, it /;
time that loyal men were on the alert, and
that the smallest evidence of disloyaIty be
at once seized and crushed out Our enc
mics are untiring and INSCRIPTIONS. Let
US be vigilant and unwcaried, and by every
honorable and manly means, seek to frus-
trate their dark Vaccinations.

ces had, however, disappeared from sight.
At sunrise a rebel brigade supported by ar
tillery, emerged from the woods in the
I front, and just as they got into line of bat
tie Gen. Milroy opened to sweep off an en-
tire company or two, the rest instantly
taking to their heels for the cover of the
woods. Shortly afterwards Gen. Bayard,
who continued, as before, in the extreme
front, scouting to the right and lett with
his cavalry, reported them filing in force
In both those directions, as though aiming
to flank us on both sides.
General Pope Immediately despatched
Towers division, of McDowell's corps, to
follow, watch, and confront them on the
right, and division of Sigers corps a. ar
mee-whose We did not learn-to do the
same for those moving on the left Gener-
al Bayard, with two regiments of his caval-
ry brigade, from New jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, was thrown in advance of Tower,
and the gallant and efficient Colonel Duffie,
of Bayard's command, with his own Rhode
Island and the lst Maine Cavalry was
thrown in advance of our division of obser-
vation on the left.
At Ii A. NJ it was definitely ascertain
ed from reports from these forces that the
purpose of the enemy could hardly be flank
movements. Ere p. m. the impression
became general at General Pope's head
quarters on the field, instead of seeking
thus to renew the engagement, the rebels
were either seeking new position in the
rear or skedaddling.
Since we reached Washington General
Pope has telegraphed here that the engage
ment was not renewed yesterday afternoon
that the enemy had retired to position
two miles back, and that he advanced his
own army this morning to that lately held
by the enemy.
We omit to state above that the prison
ers say that the rebels commenced the
fight with ten thousand men, Gen. Ewell
in command, who were reinforced by jack
son with FIVE thousand men before ocock

BY break in the telegraph the recep-
ton of General Pope's order to General
King to join him with his admirable divis.
ion was delayed twenty four hours. He,
however, started his advance from the vi
cinity of Fredericksburg at four o'clock
yesterday morning and had reached Elk Run
ford, SO he is doubtless up with the main
army by this hour. From our own know
ledge Of the situation we feel sure that the
reception of this important addition to his
fine army has already been taken advan-
tage of by Major General Pope. and that
he is again in motion towards Gordonsville.
His men all believe him irresistible, and
feel certain that signal victory will attend
his movements at their head, as on all pre-
vious occasions when at the head of his
Western army.
