How Soldiers live in Winter.

A correspondent of the Pttsburg Chron-
icle. writing from the camp of the 4th
Penna. Regiment at Dechard Station, Ten
nessee, thus describes how the men make
themselves comfortable in winter: "The
pis laid out in regular order, with an
eye to health, comfort, and beauty, The
company streets are all one width, twenty
feet. The houses of the enlisted men are
all one size and appearance, with space
between those Of each company, while the
internal arrangements are all nearly the
same-each house has two hunks and ac-
commodities four men. The most of the
houses are built of logs, somo few of
boards, but the dimensions Of all are the
same. Each house is provided with fire
place and chimney, built of brick in the
rear, opposite the centre, while the door
opens out in front, opposite the centre, to
the company street. Now let the reader
imagine one company having twensy-four
houses, each other company having the
same number, the dimensions of each the
same, and as follows: ten feet long, eli ght
feet wide, and four feet high, with four
sheltcrtents for a covering, having reg
ular pitch, forming the roof. Place twelve
of these on line, fronting longth wise,
with space Of two feet between each, the
door of each opening out on that line op.
posite the centre of the house, while op
, posite the door in the rear of the house i:
the fireplace and chimney; place on 0
parallel line, leaving a space Of twenty
feet in front, the other twelve huts, front
ing also lengthwise on said line, similar
to those on the first line, with the excep
f ton of the front of each house, which i.
reversed, so that the doors of each nov
front the other, leaving the space twenty
feet between the two rows OF houses
This space is called the company street
The company kitchen, FIVE feet longe
than company hut, but other dimension
= the same, is also built fronting on the frs
y line on the left of the first row, leaving {
space of ten feet from the left.'

Fatal Effect of the Cold.
A WHOLE FAMILY FROZEN TO Deaf

A WHOLE FAMILY FROZEN TO DEATH.
BY the passengers who arrived here on
the Central Railroad last night from the
West, we learn Of one of the most fearful
and heart-rending affairs that has ever
occurred in this section of the country,
namely; that family OF seven persons
were frozen to death during the cold
weather on Friday last, About 80 miles
from the boundary line between Michi-
gan and Indiana, in the lntter State, about
midway between Centreville and Crown
Point, lived German, with his wife and
and FIVE children, named Krutzer. The
Oldest was boy Of seven years of age, the
next boy of FIVE, and three girls, all of
less age than the two boys, the youngest
but an infant.
The country whero the family resided
is very rolling, and the snow had drifted
into the hollows, making the roads almos:
if not wholly impossible for even pedes-
triaus
The driver of the stage coach coming
from Crown Point to Lake, via Centre
vile, found that Krutzers dwelling had
been burned to the ground, it is supposed
the night previously, but none of the fam
lily were to be seen. About @ mile fur
ther on, however, he was horri6ed to find
the father and two boys frozen to death.
The boys were in the fathers arms, and
it is supposed that he had fallen with
them after having been as far affected
with the frost as not to be able to proceed.
The three corpses were placed in the stage,
but before it had proceeded more than a
quarter of mile on its destination, the
body Of the Oldest girl was found in q
snow drift, with shawl wrapped closely
,, around it, where it had doubtless been de-
posted by its weary mother while yes
alive, in the hope that some chance trav.
eler might rescue it from an impending fate.
,, This corpse, too, was placed in the coach
and again it started on its way, only to
!. find, after travelling short distance, the
n lifeless remains of the mother, with the
two youngest children. The body of the
: mother was standing erect in snow drift
d with the children in her arms, the young
|, est one being at the breast.

respect Tor the book, and practical re-
lection of its binding authority. The in
spiration of the Holy Scriptures is now a
subject Of doubt in the minds of men who
profess TO be followers Of the Purtans,
and in all parts of the church we find
men seeking introvertions of language,and
inventing obscure phrases by which to
conceal the plain and simple truth that
they do not believe in the absolute inspi-
ration of the Bible as the word OF Cod
We need not cite example Of this. They
are painfully conspicuous. We except
some large bodies of the Christian chur CHI, |
and many worthy, noble ministers of the
truth, from the evil of which we speak 81
But that evil is so manifest, and the enmi
ty Of the Abolitionists to the American
church so nearly successful, that the age
seems likely to be one of prevailing inf
deity in our country.
The year 1864 will probably witness
the crises of our fate as nation. We are
pressing on the old track of the French
!nidels toward similar state of affairs.
We have already lost the grand conserva-
tor which the nation once possessed in the
soldity of the Christian faith and its calm
supremacy over all earthly considerations.
Men look no longer to the body Of Amer
lean clergymen as spiritual guides, SER

acknowledged doctrine now that the cer-
gymau may be drafted as soldier, may

of the foe, and return to teach people the
blessings of the pure in heart and the

So severe has been the overthrow of old
ideas on this and kindered subjects, that
it is not strange to find the minds of all
the people, even of those not tinctured
with radicals heresies, faithless, and rath
er given to thinking that we may have all
been wrong in our religious ideas and ed
ucation. How much further this is to e

I now know the full history of the day.
On this side of the river-the right bank
we repulscd several strong attacks. On

could accomplishment they wero over

believe it will prove to be the most terrible
battle of the war. The sad remnants Of
my men behaved as men; those battalions
who fought most bravely, and suffered
most are still in the best order. The reg
ulars were superb, and l count upon what
are left to turn another battle in company

SYMPToMs.-I cannot enumerate all of
the symptoms, as they vary in their char
acter. Generally, the first symptom
noticed is difficulty in swallowing. with
continual splitting and hawking to clear
the throat, and feeling of more or less
prostration. Then fever, headache, ach-
ing of the bones, with a pain at the angle
of the lower jaw, and sometimes swelling
of the glands at that place. Bowels cos
tive. By examining the tongue it will be
found coated with white, sometimes a
whitish yellow the tontils will be found
more or less swollen, and if the disease
has advanced to any extent, they will be
partially or wholly covered with a whitisl
lcathery membrane, which makes it ap
pear as if the throat was filled with little
blsters.
AS the disease advances this membran,
keeps forming until it extends into th
air tubes, which makes the breathin,
quick and difficult, and the patient be
comes very restless and toward the las
makes convulsive efforts for breath, bu

three or four thousand persons were pres.
