I" / think it is hard to estimate the good
or the harm that may be produced by letters

An emense amount of harm is done by
the croakings Of our Northern papers.
We feel equal TO our adversaries. and
would like nothing better than TO meet them
in a fair fight.
Many Of US purpose, if we survive our
nine months term, to re-enlst, but it dis
'courages many to know that those who
permitted us TO leave them behind in ease
and safety, (while we are doing all in our
power to save our country from ruin,) are
not only Indifferent TO our success. but even
attempting to purchase by shameful con-
cessions an uncertain peace with those who
have rebeled against the best and freest
government that God has ever given to
man. believe that the army is brave and
loyal, and that if they are commanded by
men who are willing to sink all personal
feeling for the sake of their country, that
this terrible war will soon be brought to a
successful close.

csy- We have received, and carefully
read, the able speech Of Judge Collamer,
on the new financial scheme, which has now
passed both hoasesof Congress. 1t seems
TO US that the view taken by Judge Collamer
Is correct and sound, and that it is exceed
ingly hazardous TO attempt so great revo-
luton in cur national currancy at this time.
We believe the whole Vermont delegation
in Congress voted against it, and in doing
so we feel that they have acted for the best
interest Of the country. We would gladly
discuss this matter further, but have notime

Ravages of Deptheria.

We desire, and give our readers, all i'm
formation possible on This subject, and from
time TO time publish such remedies as we
find in our exchanges. Tie last number Of
the Wesleyan notices the deaths in Vermont
by this disease in one family, of four CHI
dren from thirteen to twenty years of age,
in three weeks and in another case, six
children from seven to twenty, within the
same period. Not long since this fearful
complaint carried off seven children of one
family. in about fortnight. We cut the
following remedy from an exchange, which
is said to have proved effectual in many
cases
Make two small bags that will reach from
ear to ear, and fill them with ashes and salt;
dip them in hot water. and wiring them out
so that they viii not drip. and apply them
to the throat; cover up the whole with a
flannel cloth, and change them as often as
they become cool, until the throat becomes
irritated, near blistering. For children it is
necessary to put flannel cloths between the
ashes and the throat to prevent bljstering.
When The ashes have been on sufficient
time, take wet flannel cloth and rub it
with CASTLE soap, until it is covered with
thick iather; dip it in hotwater and apply
II to the throat, and change as they cool !;
at the same time use garrle made Of one
teaspoopful of cayenne pepper, one Of salt
one Of molasses, in a teacupful of hot water,
and when cool add one fourth as much Of
vinegar, and gargle every fifteen minutes
until the patient requires sleep. A earele
made of CASTLE soap is good to be used part
of the time.

NOBLE WORDS FROM New HAMPsHIRE
SoLDIEs.-The officers of the 14lh N. II.
regiment, now in the field, among those
from other States, gave noble and patriot
ic rebuke to the secession sympathizers, in
an address that they have just transmitted
home. They have done themselves honor.
They say
Whatsoever of encouragement exists
in our army to-day is the result not SO much
OF unsuccessful battles, and disastrous cam
paigns-for our soldiers are ready to-day
to encounter the foe-as Of the coldness and
hostility to our cause on the part of the
Northern sympathizers with secession
Those who profess themselves sastidious
about the means of defeating the rebels,
justly create suspicious of their honesty in
wishing them defeated at all. The prime
object is the preservation OF the Union,
To accomplish this, let US accept the chosen
plans OF the commander and Chief of the
army and navy, and when tie Union shall
have become an accomplished fact, we cal

take place in soldiers life. On Sunday
last, the 10Th inst. about ten o'clock, the
order came to my tent for myself and an
other invalid, G. L. Souther, to be re ,dy
at one O'Clock F. M. to take the ambulance

time we were all ready, and with great re-
greet upon leaving our officers and company,
we left camp with our straps" and pro.

road, taking one of the worst joltngs that
man ever experienced. We arrived here
about dark. There are two buildings used

man for surgeon. There are about forty
five patients in this hospital, and forty iu
the other. Some will probably be sent to
the General Hospital at Brattleboro soon.
Oar brigade surgeon (ketchun) has been
to Vermont on a furlough, and is expected
here to-day.
When l left our regiment there were two

the Rebel pirate Retribution, on the 10Th
of January, and her subsequent recapture
by the crew and arrival at ST. Thomas.
1t was not state d, however, that the re-

now appears to have been the case. The
particulars are thus stated in the New York

'The captain and mate Of the J. P. Eli
colt were accompanied by their wives. The
wife of the mate was left on board The brig.
This woman had canse to fear bad usage
at the hands of the prize master and his
mate, and managed to get them intoxicated.
when she proposed 10 the seamen, who
were mostly, if not all, negroes from ST.
Thomas, to make them prisoners, and to
capture the vessel. She took iron har d.
cuffs from her trunk, and with their assis.
lance, put the rebels in irons. and took po-
