from the Portsmouth Grove Hospital, on

quite free to express himself on most any
subject. and especially free to censure those
above him. He spoke of drunken officers
and grinding quarter-masterS in deprlvlng
the men Of their rations; and was very

hospital; complained loudly of tie poor

from the rebel army and rebel sympathizers

tons, look after their stock and provide fo
their families, and earn the money by which

MORTALITY IN THE ARMY.-The sani-
tary commission has published foil report,
prepared by its actuary, L. B. Elliott of
the sickness and mortality in the army
This report IS as accurate as inevitable
imperfections in the returns will admit, and
is probably a near approach to the exact
truth, It appears that the average nom
Der of deaths per anuum in United States
troops during the present war is % IN l,e0O,
the proportion being less with officers than
privates, for although the ez posure OF the
former to wounds is greater, it is more than
counterbalauced by their comparative free
dom from disease. A large part of the
deaths in each department, two-thirds a
mong officers and fve-siXths among the
privates, are the result of disease or acct
dent in the war of the Crimea, this pro-
portion was increased to seven-eigh hs. 1t
lis remarkable how large a part of this
mortality is sustained by the western troops
nearly i've times as many in the thousand
having died from wounds, and almost three
times as many from disease, as among the
volunteers at the East. This increased
, loss is referred TO two causes; they have
; done more marching and fighting, and done
, it bravely; and they have less know edge
ard skill in the art of preserving health, II
. selecting campsites, securing proper too'
r and strict personal care. They have beel
f lavish of life, partly from sanitary neglect
: but mainly from exposure to the enemy
and their annual loss is only 80 in the thou
e sand deser, ion and 'misSing," willie ours
i 20. The proportion of sick throughout th
: army averages 104 in 1000, and in orde
g to sustain force of half million effectiv
:, men, making up for losses and disabilitie
e of every kind, we should need annual
L 123 600 recruits. The mortality amen
n our troops during the Mexican war W.
h more than twice as great as il Is at present
IS that of the British army in the Crimea W;
ID more than four times as large, or 232
k 1000. During a part of that struggl
er deaths were terribly frequent, until Il
ne people at home came alarmed. Floren
ne Nightingale and others took up The suhje,
s, thorough reforms were instituted, and in I
le closing months the sanitary condition of 4
al British troops was actually better than o
OF own. Although a large part Of the sic
he ness in the army is the result of removal
IS causes, yet the report tells US that, even
ly times of peace, the mortality is alwa
BIS greater in military than in civil life.

"THE SoRGuUMs held meeting at
pennsylvania Hall, last Saturday night.
1t had been stated by some Of them that
the meeting would be public one, and
some Of oar Union men thought to At
tend, but they found that while the door
opened easily to those whose patriotism
is doubtful, it vas shut upon all uncon-
ditional Union men. Friends Roush and
Swineford went early and got seat, but
soon, an old Wing moved that they be
invited to leave, and the motion being
carried, they did not wait for "a kick,
but left at once When such Democrats
are turned out of a pretended, Democratic
meeting, and that too by renegade
Wings, we may safely conclude that
something besides the dissemination of
pure Democratic principles was designed
by the meeting. Several other meetings
of the same sort were held in different
parts Of the county the same night
