CAMP PARAPEr CARoLToN, La, !
May 30th, 1852.

Nh, EDITOR Thinking that perhaps
a few lines from this division OF me armgJ
would be acceptably read by your nu-
merous readers. | will try to give them as
good description of the place and the
situation of the men as possible.
Before this time you have heard the
full particulars of the taking of Forts
Jackson and St. Phillips, and the fall of
New Orleans. 1t was not the good luck
of our company, LIST Vt. Battery to be
present at either of these engagements, but
after the fun had Eli taken place, we
were ordered from Ship Island to this
place, where we. are now encamped. We
are with the ist Brigade, (Gen. Phelps,)
which is encamped at Carrolton, small
village about five miles above New Or
leans.
We are behind line of breast works
which were built by the rebels. They
are five miles long, extending from the
river to the lake. They are Is feet high
some 10 feet thick at the top, and in
front is moat some rs feet wide and 10
feet deep. This was well protected by
cannon of good description, and which
were either thrown into the river, or else
spiked by the rebels when they heard of
our arrival at New Orleans. They suppo-
sed that We would come up on their
front, which if we had done, the works
could only have been taken with great
loss to the Union troops,-blt the Yam
KEGS rather outwitted them and took
them from the rear.
Near the river they had quite strong
font with furnaces for heating hot shot
to fire into our vessels, and which noun.
ted several rifled cannon. These were al
| thrown into the river.
Contrabands are plenty here. 1t is
amusing to hear them tell about the way
the rebels ran.
Everything looks desolate enough here
The plantations are in a neglected state
There is nothing of any account planted
here, and it seems as though there wa.
not enough planted to keep them from
starving to death. Before the troop.

CompARIsoss-It 1t is useless to deny that the
masses of the people have deep seated and
settled confidence in ssSarsapariiia,' as an
Alternative remedy. NotwiI hstanding this con-
fidence has of late years been abused by many
preparations claiming TO possess its virtues but
really with none at all, still the people believe
in its intrinsic value as a remedy, because they
have known OF Its cures. The rage for large
bottles at low prices, has called into smarket
many compounds of Sarsapsrilla which con-
tain scarcely any of it, or even any med ical
virtues whatever. Yet everybody knows tina {
sarsapariila is the great STAPLE antidote for
Scroiula, Eruption and cutaneous diseases,
ana for the purificstion OF the blood when they
can get the real article, or an actual extract of
IT, Such we able to inform them
they can obtain. DR.. j. G. Aver x Co, the Gel
ebrated chemists of the East, whose reputation
assures us they do well whatever they under
take, are selling Compound Extract of Sar-
saparila, which, although the bottles do not
contain quarts, for dollar, do contain more
OF actual curative power than whole gallons
OF the Stuffs which have been in use. 1t is as
serted that one bottle of Ayers Sarsapariia
contains more than double the amount of me-
dicinal virtue, which is afforded by any other.
This fact is not only apparent to the taste, but
its effects and cures afford inconteStible proof
that it is true. Such remedy has been long
sought for, and is everywhere needed by all
classes OF our community T'sAge'', Cynthi-

HORSE BEDs.-A hardworiing horse requires
a good bed, in der that he may rest and re-
cruit for his next days labor. Few owners,
or rather those who have the care of horses
give as much attention to this as it deserves.
Straw broken in a threshing machine, is the
best bedding that can be used and the next
best is sawdust. A good bed for horse
should cover the entire floor of his stall; shou Id
be a little the highest at the sides and at the
head. Some permit their animals to rest on
the bare floor. Such persons should be com
PEELED, some cold night, to use a similar bed. .

1S62.-Mean temperature in the morning, 80
degs at noon, So in evening, 43 Z; full mean
OF the month, H. The month came in with a
large quantity of snow and ice in the woods
which, with light rain on the ID, 9th, 18th,
18th, ODD and 28th, and heavy rain on the Dist,
with snow and hail on the Sth and near one
foot OF snow on the 9th and 10th, kept the
small streams pretty well up, and The river in
good running order the greater part Of the
time. Small quantities Of snow and ice still
remain in the woods at the close Of the mouth.
Vegetation is very backward, no pasture for
cattle in the woods AID but little in the fields.
The naples coming in blossom. Apple and
peach buds swelling, but flowers visible.
The willow and few other early trees begin
ming TO show leaf. Wheat mostly looks we'll
and the prospect for fruit, yet, is very fair.
The operations of the farmer is mostly very
backward the ground having generally been
too wet for plowing. Hoping May will be
more favorable. Penn.
