! Health of the Army.

We are now past the middle of june
in couple more days midsummer will be
upon us-snd as yet no fatal epidemic has
broken out among the soldiers of the Union
army. Tho latest reports from New Or
leans are that the troops are remarkably
heslthy-not more than one in ten being
unit for duty. There are rs yet no signs
of yellow fever. and it is believed there will
be none during .he season. From McClel-
lan's great army in front of Richmo ond. the
accounts are equally cheering. Care has
been taken in the selection Of camping
grounds, and this. with other sanitary reg
ulations. has kept the army in remark
ably healthy condition. From Halleck's
Western army we have also good tidings
as 10 health. The sickness which pre-
vailed in the vicinity of Pittsburg Landing
has almost entirely disappeared. and tha
men are now in fine condition. From
Hunter we have no special information.
but we presume if there had been any greas
fatality we should hear of IT, All things
considered, we have reason to be thankful
that the Summer is passing away without
the appearance of any one of those fatal
diseases upon which the rebels placed 50
much reliance for assistance,

des ,ribes Gen. Milroy. Of our State, and
the soldiers of the Valley army:
General Milroy is man often mention
ed in this Department. He is an odd spec
linen Of an American. Standing about
six feet four inches high. he towers above
his men with commanding physical force.
His face is square. with a reddish gray
beard. covering, but not hiding. a small
mouth of singular directness and decision.
He speaks hesitatingly, and is evidently
not large nor quick thinker. A nervous
sensibility. or sensation of fear. never came
into his composition So when his name
was mentioned on the day of battle as to
leading the advance, he replied:
"Oh. yes, let me do it; 1 will go ahead
yes. TO -. Gen ar-al, my boys i
fix en-"
There is no trouble about your going
ahead. General Milroy: but you are in dan
ger of going too far"
"But I won't-this time, General, I'll
obey orders strictly"
SO Milroy went ahead. About 8 o'clock
of that afternoon l saw him in wheat
field, peering over the grain tips into the
wood; in a moment the leaden grain fed
its iron stalks and the air was full of hurt
ling sounds, and brave men fell bleeding
and dying. In that glorious little band
of patriot heroes there were no pale cheeks
nor livid lip. there was no moan nor shrek
of pain. "Pat me down gently, boys" :"
said wounded Captain of the Goth Ohio,

the shattered body to the rear. He lay

because the people of Indiana overawed
the traitors among them.
The men to whom l refer were The orig
inal Breckinridge men. The first blow of
the traitors was the attempt to break up
the Democratic party. Those who broke
up the Charleston Convention and follow
ed Yancey, did it TO break up the party
as threat of .disunion. / regarded the.
nomination of Breekinridge as disunion
movement. For the Breckinridge men
who have repented and are now loyal, /
have no word Of reproach.. i have moth

personal issues to make with him. But
his political principles / deal with as l

Breckinridge was o traitor long before
he was nominated. He returned to the
Senate after it was known that treason was
achieved. He arfaigned the President

to call out men for its defense. Many oil

Shame on such men. ! defended Jackson

Can turn back on that record and refuse
