Midnight.

Hufelaud, in his treatise on sleep, ha:
some curious as we'll as forcible ideas OF
the necessity of devosipg midnight to resi-
and sleep. He considers the period OF
twenty -fours, which is produced by the
regular revolution of the earth pom its axis
marks its irfuence most definitely on the
physical economy of man. Diseases show
the regular Influence in their daily rise and
fall. Settled, regular fever exhibits a
twenty -four hours flHx and rehux. In the
healthful state there is manifest the same
regular influence, and the more babitual
our meals, our hours of exercise or employ
ment, and hours of sleep, the power is in
the system to resist disease. In the morn =
ing the pulse is slow and the nerves calmn
er. and the mind and the body better fitted
for labor. As we advance toward the eve
ming of the days the pulse become accele-
rated, and an almost feverish state is pro-
duced, which, in eXcitable persons, be-
comes an absolute evening fever. Rest car
Ties off this fever by its sleep, and the re-
freshing opening of its peers which sleep
produces. In this nightly respiration there
Is an absolute crisis of this evening fever.
and this periodical crisis is necessary for
every individual. as it carries off whatever
useless or pernicious particles our bodies
have i'm bibed. This evening fever, Hufe-
land thinks. is not entirely owing to the
accession of new chyle to the system, but
to the departure Of the sun and the Light
The crisis of this fever, to be most effective
by its regularity, ought to take place at
midnight, when the sun is in its nadir, and
the body will become refreshing for the
early morning labor. Those who neglect
this period, either push the diurnal crisis
into the morning, and thus undermine the
importance of its regularity, or lose it en-
tirely; and arise to their labors unrefreshed
by sleep. Their bodies will not have been
purified by the crisis, and the disease Will
have thus been planted. Nervous people
are peculiarly subject to the influence OF this
evening fever, and they think they cannot
labor without its excitement. Hence their
mental efforts are performed in the night
alone; the important time for the crisis OF
this nervous excitetn ent passes over IN
~akefulness, and no refreshing perspiration
cieanses the body or recupetates the nerves.
Such people will wear out soon, unless they
change their habits and seek rest when na-
ture and the human constitution dictate
These considerations ought to he deeply
studied and regarded by all who are in the
ruinous habit Of turning night into day. and
changing the functions of both. failure
of health will soon manifest the truth of
these remarks. ...r 49,.

DECLINATfoN OF THE HON. j. F. BELL-
The Hon. j Fl. Bell has declined to run the
race for Governor. He is sensible in that:
1t has been suggested that we had personal
objections to him, and hence our position
That is all false. Mr.. Bell is personally a
gentleman for whom we have nothing but
the kiudest feeling. But his political status
We didn't like. much less do we like the
politics of the convention that nominated
him. If his associates on the ticket will
follow his example, and decline the race,
they will! do the Union cause in this State a
service of great value. The Union people
of Kentucky do not want them, except a
small squad that have not votes enough to
make mile posts. We want the popular
vote of the State for the cause; it is point
of great value, and this ticket can't get it..
1t suits rather the Unionism of Massacbu-
setts than that of Kentucky.

The fact had been too plain for concsal-
ment. that there are large numbers in the
Northwest who are. resolved to have access
to the Atlantic Ocean without restrictions
from heavy tolls, or are ready to devise des-
perate remedies. The Chicago Tribune
speaks of the "monstrous wrong" the West
is suffering. from the neglect of the New
York Legislature to remove or reduce the
tolls on the canals in this State, and hints
strongly at something what, the

that the day will surely come in which they
force of our words. But they play the game
boldly. No highwaymen could ever have
stopped a traveller on the road with the

more nonchalance or unimpassioned greed
than marks the demand of New York upon
the West, Stand and deliver!' And certain :

Mr.. -
DEAR SIR: To show you that there are
those in the f,ld shouldering their
muskets who have human feelings for
real suffering humanity, (tbough it is
often said that "when a man becomes a
soldier he closes all avenues 10 human
ity,") l will sond you copy of paper
l found with fleeing refugee:
Whereas, Morris Neagly desires TO
remove to the non. .slaveholding States
with his family, consisting of n wife and
six children: We do pay and contribute
for that purpose as follows"
Here follow the names of twenty six
persons, members Of the 2lst and 3Sth
Regiments Illinois Volunteers. The sums
paid by them amount 10 SGT 90.
This assistance was furnished by SOL
diers Of the Union army to family Of
husband, wife and six children in
Franklin county, Tenn. When the
family arrived in Nashville, another
Yankee procured free transportation for
them to Indiana. This is only one Of
hundreds of instances within my OBJ
servatiOn, proving that the brave citizens
that have enlisted in the cAuse of ,heir
country are far from being vandals.
/ saw this poor family Of loyal Ten
nesseAns once in comfortable ciroum-
stances. now reduced to the most cruel
destitu'ion. The husband had beCn
forced from home, fugi tivein mountain
caves, by the worse than Ottoman bar
barism that has desolated our once
peaceful land. This little sum contrib
uted by soldiers from their scAnty tarnD
ings, shows hearts abounding in hu-
manity.
How sadly this contrasts with the
conduct Of the inhumAn wretches that
lAtely laid in ashes the beautiful town
Of Lawrence in Kansas, and butcbered
in cold blood the defenceless men, wo-
men and children. The conduct Of the
savages At the Massacre Of Wyoming,
will not compare in the reckless disre-
gard Of humanity. This little act OF
generosity is the emblem OF the Repub-
lie, which means humanity. The Yam
kee is making room. New England il
spreading. Free schools aud free LABOR
are migrating, and bid fair to 10 low the
march of the all oOnqueing Union army
Wherever it plants its foot, human ~ m
pathy springs up in perennial beauty.

riOtism compelled them to fouake
country, lands, and friends, and seek
protection under the glorious old Gag that
was purchased by the bloodOf our revO-
lutiOnSry fathers. Though l hope the
day of justice and retaliation is no, Ear
distant when those who caused Ne 70
absudon our homes, and who prided in
moeking aud hissing at the falling tears
of our beloved friends, will soon know
by experience, what il Is 10 bid farewell
to the eDjoymen,s Of friends, relativos,
aud the many pleasures found in East
Tennessee. They have not Kentucky,
with = star spanglod banner, giving free
dom to all men, TO which they can Zee.
Hence I can conceive no way for their
escape, only to start them to heaven At
the end of rope, and then leave Il with
their God, il they have any, whether
they get there or not.
The traitors Of Tennessee, who reioioed.
so much at the destruction Of the loyal
people, and who SAlk so much and loud
about dying in the last ditch, before we
should ever return to East Tennessee, are
now throwing down their arms, and say
ing that leaving home and going down
$ nth, to starve, is more than they ever
thought Of when they enlisted. Poor
towards II is a wonder they have not
broke their necks running from their
first bitches" at Fishing Greek, Murfrees-
boro, Middleton, and TullahOma, and
suppose the editor Of the Knoxville
Register was hunting bis last bitches
when he swan the HolstOn river, few
weeks ago.
The loyal boys Of East Tennessee twelve
months ago were delighted, as they stood
upon the Cumberland Mountain, and
viewed the Fairgrounds Of their boy
hood, where there were 80 many friends
waiting anxiously to meet them But
alas the dark and lowering clouds over
shadowed their paths, and drove from
them the prospect OF ever returning TO
he beloved friends whom they could al
most see from their post Of duty. Did
they do like those brave and last ditchers
Of Bragg's capoofle, throw down their
arms, and say we will not leave Tennes-
see. No, they took farewell look at
their ative land, aud with f'lling tear
shouldered their rifles like patriots, and
m wed to the northern banks of the Ohio
river, there TO prepare for another struggle
TO redeem their native homes. God has
given success and triumph 10 their arms,
aud they border again upon the land
ho land of their delight, May God
soon land them homo TO the tender en-
braces of their long absenied friends
where they can enjoy peace aud hAppi-
ness, as they were accustomed In former
days. A. @. CATLETr
