1t is impossible to enjoy the bloom Of health,
and vivacity of spirits, unless the Menses are reg
ular as to the time, the quantity, and quality.
When they are obstructed, nature makes her ef-
ferts to obtain for it other outlet and unless
these efforts of nature assisted, the patient
usually experiences Dependency. Nervousness,
and finally CONSUMPTION assumes its sway, and
prematurely terminates miserable life.

Jo,c 20.-Thc hurried coming and going
Of oracrlics to and from Rcgimcntal, Brigade,
Division and Army Corps Head Quarters, and
the whispered consultations Of field officers,
which had attracted my attention on the pre-
vious evening, suggested TO me that some
military movement Of Importance might be
anticipated, was not disappointed. At 4
o'clock this morning, our whole lire opened
its artillery and poured perfect shower Of
missiles into the rebel works. You can ca
silly imagine that the noise was not long in
srousing me from my slumbcrs on the canes
which constituted my couch No description
is adequate to the task of conveying an idea
of the sights and sounds to which l was this
morning the witness aud auditor. Even my
distinguished predecessor in the "Dtary"
business, Bull Run Russell, couldn't do it
Every sound which the human voice is cara-
bic of producing had its appropriate repre-
sentative issuing from the deep -mouthcd can
non The tones Of the Si-pound mortar on
the far right, breaking upon my cars like =
deep moan, mingled with the shrek from an
an adjacent battery of P1rrott guns, until
both were lost in the booming which pro
e2eded from the entire line, while cloud of
smoke, wars stern incense, arose and Shut
out the rebel Qualifications from sight. So
many cannon, each fired With the greatest
possible rapidity, left not second of inter
val, but kept up continuous roar.
1t was supposed that this canuonade would
be followed by general charge on the enc

shouting and laughter, and the deep silence
and calm which prevailed, showed what the.

in five or six fghts-an experience which

CATHoLIc PRIESTS ON TIE DRAFT.-
The Pittsburg Dispatch Of the 18th
says; CAT a meeting held in St. Paul's
Cathedral, on Sunday afternoon, the
sum of one thousand dollars was raised
for the purpose of procuring exemption,
for Revs. Hickey, Holland and Burke,
Catholic clergymen who had been
drafted i'll this city. Rev. Father Nc >
Mahon said that whatever opinion
might be entertained in regard to the
non exemption Of clcrgymen from the
draft, it was the law. He believed
that the draft was conducted il just
and honorable manner, and that it was
our duty to give willing support to
the Government both in men and mon
ey. But the laws Of the Catholic
Church forbid their clergy taking up
arms in defense Of any Government,
and if they did SO, they would be in
capacitated from exercising the duties
of the priesthood"

The road is a perpetual succession Of hills
and wherever they have improved them, in
stead Of grading, they have sha,pcusd them,
so that the ascent is shorter, but sleeper. But
the mules, happily, are generally equal to the
emergency. They will draw safely a heavy
load down a descent which horse can scarce
