MEASUREMENTS AND TRACTs.

Il should be understood by our friends
that in all cases where they send money to
our care for the Confederate Bible SO5ety,
it is paid over to the treasurer Of that in
sti ution for its general purposes. If they
wish money for teataments and tracts to be
expended By as, they will De so good az to
signify tina; desire. We have increasing
opportunities for such distributions through
choplaius, off: ers aud soldiers Of our oc-
quaintance in the army, but the funds speci-
Hcslly entrusted to our management for
these purposes is now nearly exhausted
The Confederate Bible Society we believe,
has now as much money as it has way to
expeud in printing.
What seems most needed Is funds to pur-
chase and distribute the Word of Life, pro-
cured either from that Society, or from those
who pass with it through the blockade
There will probably be unlimited Opportu-
mites this winter for reaching our soldiers
in this way, and our desire is to be ready
for the work in time. Oar agency in it is
entirely free CT charge. 1t may be we'll to
add, that there will soon be on hand sup

The AMERICAN SOLDIER.-The Paris Pays
publishes an extract of a letter written by
Gen. Cluseret, French officer now in the
'ervice of the United States, in which he
says'of the soldiers under his commands
After two months of campaign and suf.
ferings such as | never endured, even in the
Crimean war, where we never were in want
of food, nor exhausted 10y long marches,
can speak to you knowingly of the Ameri
can soldier. During all that time we have
been marching night and day, oftentimes
without bread, with half Of our men shoeless
exposed to q chilly rain, without shelter,
tent or village. We have thus walked be-
tween $50 aud 200 miles. But that which,
in my estimation, makes the American SOL
dier the first in the wOrld-the equal of the
French soldier--is that never heard him
utter complaint or grumbe. never was
compelled to inaict punishment upon him.
When | ordered siraggler to fall in he
used to show me his naked feet aud harry
on as much as he could. | have but word
to express my opinion Of the American sol
der: be is an admirable soldier. He adds
to the qualities Of the French a patience
and resignation which | did not think
possible ever for n soldier to acquire.

A CANARD-YERY G LIKE BUII"-We find
the following paragraph in French news
paper, vouched for by two names, Chavette
and Calno:
The Emperor of Austria recently met a
soldier. in full uniform, with one arm, aud
accosted him thus: "Where did you lose
your arm?p "At SOlfernO, sire" His
Majesty at once detached decoration from
his coat, aud placed it himself on the breast
of the man Such sudden and uneXpec.
ted recompense overwhelmed the poor fell
low. az may be imagined, who trembling,
exclaimed: "Ah, sire! this great decoration
for the loss of All arm in your Majesty's
service? II had lost two ----." lie was
proceeding, perhaps, to say that the decor
alton would have been too uountiful, when
the Emperor remarked with o smile: "lf
you had lost both, would have made you
an officer'"' In an instant, the soldier drew
his sword, and cut off his remaining arm.
This Is just a dish we'll seasoned to the
taste of the French readers of the journal
we alludc to as benefited by this anecdote
of Messrs. Chavette and Calino, aud doubt
less, the anccdote drew large amount of
Fubscribers' tears. Less impressionable,
and little more mathematical, we of the
British press would simply ask how the
man could perform the feat of drawing bis
4abre with the remaining arm, and cutting

This terrible disease is alarmingly the increase
in this country and should be attended to in season
for there is no complaint more dangerous, and at
tended with more suffering than this fatal disease.
ANY person who has been troubled with venereal,
seminal weakness or any other private disease.
should watch very closely for this trouble It's first
symptoms is generally unpleasant sensation in
the parts sometimes of tickling nature, an uneas-
mess of the mind, an underlined dread of something
YOU know not what. and ifnot attended to the urine
becomes affected. and then follow all those dreadful
symptoms which often result in miserable and
disgusting death. But the suffering, before death
comes to reheve the patient, is dreadful; sometimes
plunging the sufferer into that living death-Insan-
ity.
