WATER DnISKrSc. Improper drinking OF
water has killed thousands. There have been
instances where thirsty armies, after long
march, have cone TO the river, when the men
wo9ld lie dowo on their faces and quaff an
ordinary qusniiy Of water with these results
some died almost instantly, others became
crazy, and some staggered like drunken mop.
Avoid drinking water as much as possible :
When you FEEL very dry, rinse the mouth
with water, but do not swallow il. Men,
when heated, should not drink anything cold.
In high state of perspration ics-wster only
aggravates tho thirst. Drink slowly. A
half tumbler Of water will suffice the thirst
lest man in the world, il he drinks 1t by sips.
Take from twenty -fisc 10 one hundred sips
aud swallow each time--it will quench thirst
better than a quart drank in the usual man
ner. In fact Il is almost impossible to get
down full glass Of water in this manner.

A Difficult Question Answered.

Can anybody tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one of Adams ribs, hir.
ed girl wasn't made at tie same time 10 wait

We can easy! Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with ragged stocking to
be darned, collar string to be sewed, or glove

Because he never feared the newspaper until
the sun got down behind the palm trees and
stretched himself, yawning out, 49,
"Ain't supper most ready, my dear?"
Not he. Ho made the fire and hung over
tho kettle himself, we'll venture, and pulled
the radishes and peeled the bananas, and did
everything else that he ought 10! He milk
ed the cows and fed the chickens, and looked
after the pigs himself. He never brought
home bali dozen friends to dinner when
Eve hadn't any pomegranates, and the man
go season was over He never stayed until
eleven o'clock to ward meeting hurrshing
for the out and out candidates, and then scold
because poor Eve was crying inside the gates.
To be su1s he acted rather cowardly about
apple gathering time, but then that don't de-
preciate his helpfulness about the garden! =
He never played billiards, or drove fast hor-
ses, nor chokod Eve with cigar smoke. He
never loafed around the groceries while soil.
tary Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at
home. In short, he did not think she was
specially created for the porpose Of waiting on
him, and wasn't under tho impression that
it disgraced man to tighten his wife's cares

That's the reason that Eve did not need
hired girl and we wish it was the reason that
none Of her fair descendants did?

Our ou,pos.s in this direction have been at Hail.
town for several days and, it is reasonable to con-
cude, now hold Cbarlestowu.
the rain of yesterday wound up last night in a
storm Of commngled rain and wind that was severely
felt in the camps occupying exposed positions on
submits and sides Of mountains. On Bolivar and
Maryland Nights, the storm ragged with such fury
that tents were overturned and men forced to mid
night battle with The elements.
Notwithstanding the considerable quantity Of rain
that fell yesterday and last night the river has been
but little affected thereby. The water has not risen
over foot aud wagons cross the fords at the ferry
to-day without difficulty.
The rain will rather tend to facilitate than detain
any movements that may be in contemplation. Un-
der the influence of the bright sunshine and dry wind
that has followed it will harden the roads, and place
them in frst-rate condition.
Judging of the condition Of the army, by what !
have of it here and at Sharpsburg think our
were never in finer state Of health and spirits.

an happy TO be able to inform you that the adj
,auce Of the Army Of the Potomac commenced this
morning ana have reason TO believe that before to-
morrow night the movement will be general along
he whole line placing the Potomac in our rear.
At daylight this morning the cavalry force Of Gen.
pieasanon, with four prices of artillery crossed the
Dew pOntoon bridge Mt Berlin, eight miles east OF
Hsrpers Ferry aud proceeded direct to Lovettsyilie
In Loudon County.
At Lovettsvile our cavalry entered about 8 oelock
~ the morning. and the few Rebel pckes stationed
the,e fled before them in the direction of Leesburg
Tie people OF this loyal town. especially the iades
received our troops with great enthusiasm and the
Stars and Stripes thrown out IN all parts OF the
town. Many of their fugitive husbands and Sous re-
turned with the cavalry, and the demonstration was
,post earnest aud unmistaksbe.
Without stopping except to leave pickets and a
guard, Gen. Plesssnion moved in the direction Of
Waterford, expecting to reach Leesburg early in
the afternoon. There was at last accounts, small
force of Rebel infantry and cavalry at Leesburg, and
there may possibly have been fight there, unItes
they reiresled on hearing OF his approach.
Shortly after the cavalry advance had crossed,
Gen. Burnside, with bis Second Army Corps COM
menced crossing at the same point, end during the
whole day the bridge constantly under the tread
Of the advancing column. They proceeded in light
marching order though Gil immense train of wagons
was waiting to follow them.
1t wac the intention Of Gen. Burnside to rest for
tie night at Lovettsville and move forward on Mon
day morning, in what direction was not known.
The troops were in fine spirits, notwithstanding the
bad weather, and cheered most Justify as they
resehed the Virginia shore.
The troops on Bolivar flights are also under
marching orders aud it is thought viii be in motion
tomorrow. 1t is reported that the enemy have
already retired from our front, Withdrawing their
pickets yesterday, apparently aware Of our early
advance.
