The Hot Weather.

The cheated term" for the last two or three
weeks, has been almost intoerabe. We have
kept no record of the movements of the mercury,
but they have invariably held high. The days
have been swehering and the nights little better
And it is noticeable fac! that this period o! ex-
IRENE heat was felt at widely separated points.
At New Haven, the editor of the Journal states
that no one has any personal recollection of any
thing like such hot spell as We have had for the
past fifteen days; and on Montay thu mercury
stood IN that city at 50 deg. Ga Saturday, in
Montreal, the thermometer indicated 80 deg
and the same day it stood at 81 deg. in Saratoga,
90 deg. in Albany, and 81 deg in New York
and it has been as high as 100 deg ID the latter
city. There were over $50 deaths in New York
and Boston, by sun-stroke the first week in Au.
gust. The 4" Oldest inhabitant," we believe, &C
edges that he has seen nothing like this in
tense, almost sitting heat AS consequence of
the hot weather there has been much sickness.
TO those who are we'll and desire to keep so, we
commend the following common-,ence obserya-
tons from the Philadelphia North .4meracan:
First Be always occupied, and in the open air
If possible, but not in the sun
Second. Drink ce-water freely at meals, but
rarely or never at other times. Many people de-
stroy the tone of the stomach, and bring on all
sorts of diseases, by drinking excess of ice-wa-
ter.
Third Eat full and ample meals of light food,
finishing with fruit desserts, melons included, but
don't eat lunches
Fourth, Don't sit down to lounge and sleep in
the day time, unless you have regular hour of
sleep after dinner--a thi toIerable with old gen
tIemen, but not with young men.
Fifth, Be cheerful as well as active; stir your
friends as we'll as yourself up with your jokes and
gibes.
Sixth, Keep bottle Of some one of the dozen
good preparations of mixed astringsnts and TONES
which any good apolhecary or physician can nlme
to YOU always at hard, using very little of it to
check Stomachic arrangement at the very minute
it begins.

+, the infantry charged. My instructions were i
possible to draw the enemy's fire from the nant.
ry, and Judging from the wbistling in the air
partially succeeded. The infantry were repulsed
and formed in rear of the battery, and all retired
to the old position, the First Vermont Battery
bringing up the rear.
The losses in the battery were two killed and
four wounded:
Private Andrew Ward of Moretown, head
blown off; Corp. JOSEPH II. Sendell of South
SALISBURY, killed by she'll in hip and abdomen
Private Geo. K. Small of Rutland, in arm, since
amputated; Private Thos. Armstrong of Montpe.
her in the head Private Thos. Richie of New
Orleans in the face; Sergeant Chas. II. Kinson
OF Chelsea in the hand.
The wounded are doing well and are kindly
cared for. The killed were recovered and prop
erly buried.
The battery behaved splendidly and have re-
ceived their reward in good reputation.
Durlng the entire siege we were continually
under fire, and often IN search of the enemy in
our rear. Since the 9th of May the battery has
had no casualties.

Gov Seymour, in his recC Mt impudent letter to
President Lincoln advising suspension of the
draft in New York until the constitutonality OF
the law could be tested, said that New York " has
met every call heretofore made, while every other
Atlantic State, and the New England States. ex-
cept Rhode Island, was delinquent" This is a
f'lsehood, and Gov Seymour ought to have
known it to be SO. We have always understood
that New Jersey had furnished its full quota and
hitherto that has been the boast Of the Democratic
party. Massachusetts, has exceeded her quotas,
and so has Nermont-But the fact that the state
ment made by Gov. Seymour is untrue would not
embarrass him. If lie would bolster up his ar
gument better than the truth, of course he woulI
use it. His object is not to have justice done to
New York, but to embarass President Lincoln.

From dc Columbia Sout, GarOlinian.l
It's gratifying fact, that the plethora of money is
beginning TO abatethe absorption Of currency for the
eight per cent bonds has become visible that Dor
rowers cannot procure money from many of the banks
which are obliged 70 retain funds with which TO pay
their depositors. The consequences to be expected,
are stringent money market and abatement of the
enormous prices which have prevailed Ii the effect Of
this absorption should be so great the present mo-
mert, when the reduction Of the currency is so mani.
fest by the voluntary action Of our citizen7 what viii
it be when the tax bill passed. and the Withdrawal Of
currency is forced in payment Of taxes? That specu
lators ana imprudeut men may be ruined by o sudden
collapse Of prices IS evident and the former win have
no sympathy whatever. The volume OF currency has
at no time exceeded 500000,O0O. OF this it may be
