SMALL .PoX.-We learn that there are ten or
eleven cases Of small pox at the garrison IN TINS
place. The disease is of the continent type 1t
was surprise to our community to hear OF so
large number of cases when all must have orgi-
mated from one, of which they heard nothing We
understand that the necessary steps have been ia
ken in the garrison to prevent the spread of the
disease among the prisoners and guard; so far as
we know nothing has been done to protect the
town, or provide hospital in case the disease
should make its appearance amongst its citizens.
This is matter which should not be neglected by
our town author ties Salisbury Watchnaan.
Rev. THOMAS e. SKINNER.-It has already
been stated that this gentleman had sailed from
Wilmington for Europe on some mission connec-
ted with the dissemination of the Scriptures among
the soldiers of the Confederate States. The Bib
lc4l Recorder of Raleigh, says:
The friends of this gentleman will be gratfed
to learn that he has had safe voyage and has
probably arrived 10 England When his letter
was written he was within two days sail of Liver
pool. Many persons had shown him great kind
ness on the way, and he expressed the opinion
thst all the civilized nations of the earth, the
United States, sympathize with OUT country in her
terrible struggle.
We sincerely hope that his journey may be safe
and pleasant. He carried with him funds to pur-
chase stereotype plates of the New Testament for
the Board of Missions of the Baptist State Con
vention, and we shall await the next letter from
him with some degree of Impotence IF he can
succeed in getting the plates through the block
ade, the Baptists of North Carolina will be able to
do much towards supplying our soldiers with the
word of God. o.
