A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO GEN. WIN. +.

tains Gen WIN. T. Sherman's report of
the operations Of the troops under his
command in the great campaign which
eliminated in the glorious victory of
Gen. Grant over Bragg at Chattanooga,
Nov, %, 1868 From this report we ex-
tract the following acknowledgment of
the great professional ability of Gen.
VIM F. Smith:
las soon as the day dawned, some of
the boats were taken from the use of
ferrying, and a pontoon bridge begun
under the immediate direction of Capt.
Dresser, the whole planned and super
vised by Gen VIM. F. Smith in person,
a pOntOOn bridge was also butt at the
same time over ChiCamauga Creek, near
its mouth giving communication with
the two regiments left on the north
bank, and fulfilling a most important
purpose at later stage of the drama.
| will here bear my willing testimony
to the completeness Of this whole bust
ness. All the officers charged with the
work were present, and manifested a
skill which [ cannot praise too highly.

THE UNITED STATES.

Our correspondent on Tuesday pre-
s"nted us with a melancholy picture of
the state of America. The country is
described to us rs oovorol with violence,
aud tiIIedmore at than any period Of lis his
tory with ''shocklng accidents and horrid
"crHnes." "A new chapter OF murder,
''fraud, and emhezzlrment is unfolded
"with each rising sun" Il is estimated
that, on an average, not less than 500
persons have been killed and wounded
weekly by accidents and aft avs of varl-
Gus kinds since General Lees surrender.
AsSas >inationS were at first of daily &C.
currence; the unfortunate negroes have
probably suffered as much violence with
IN the last three months from those who
are now their equals as they ever did
from their old masters ; soldiers have
been ~drugged, mut dered, and robbed,
and scarcely any measures whatever are
taken to bring the perpetrators Of such
crimes to justice. It exhibits a similar
reckle>sneSs Of hum4n life that the con-
slant occurrence of the most frightful
accidents fails to raise any apparent emo
ton IN the community. "Arstnals have
"been blown up aud steamboats, burnt,
"and human lives sacrificed almost with
'out a single tear being she'd" We
lately heard of a steamer being sunk Ivy
a collision on Lake Huron, and a hundred
lives being lost, 1t appears that the
collision occurred in open day that the
surviving steamer scarcely stopped to
pick up the drowning passengers; and
that when she arrived with the news of
the terrible calamity at Detroit it failed
to cast even a tinge of sadness over "a
great Qualification and revelry" which
was in progress in honour Of General
Grant. In short. our correspondent can
only conclude that "either the war has
cleft US far more depraved than it found
"Ls, or the average mount of individual
"wlckedness the world is capable of has
"greatly increased since our war ceased"

Wirz to be Executed To-day.

Washington, Nov. 8.
Workmen have been busy erecting gall
lows. under the supervision of Provost
Marshal Russel, for the execution ofbutch
er Wirz. A curious multitude thronged
the office for passes to see the execution.
The Press will be supplied. A few other
curious ones will be admitted. Mr.. Schade,
in An interview with the President, show.
ed six affidavits from Union prisoners. i'm
peaching the testimony witnesses, claim
him to be a grandson of Lafayette, assert
ing that he was a common Jew from New
York. Same witnesses never saw Wirz in
the stockade. wirz still maintains kind
of sang Jrotd. The wound on his arm is
painful, requiring surgical attendance. He
has no resentment against the President
or the court martial; but he says it is i'm
possible to repress feelings Of resentment
against witnesses. He has given up Ger
man novels and is more diligent in look
ing after his religious interests. He COM
plains Of injustice by the government in
not staying the proceedings of the court
until IA Of the most important witnesses
could reach him. He empAaticallv denies
that he was a railroad agent in Switzer-
land, and discharged for fraud. When he
left the country no railroads were in oper-
alton. He received letters from all parts
Of the country. both sympathetic and de-
nunciatory. Among the letters was one
from New York which said 1t. considered
him the greatest criminal that ever cursed
the earth, and advised him to prepare for
death. quoting passages Of scripture not
conciliatory. Wirz replied. telling the
writer of the letter that it was an unpara-
lleled specimen Of presumption and impu-
dence, and concluding. "Judge not, that
We be not Judged" He denies wantlof
affection between himself and wife. He
admits that the prisoners were brutally
treated, but denies that he is the guilty
party. He never shot man in his life.
Photographers will be present at the ex-
cution on Friday.
There Is a great pressure made to secure
communication Of Wirz's death sentence.
The Precedent remains firm.

SUDDEN SICKNEss.-The family Of w.
II. Burton of this city, consisting of nine
persons, and including the families Of L. s.
Kirkham, and w. A. Burton, residing in
the family, were taken very suddenly and
almost simultaneously very sick on yes
terday. The family partook Of lunch
about l2A O'Clock, and separated, the gen.
uemen returning to their business, Mrs.
Kirkham going but to make call and
others returning to their rooms. At about
the same time shortly after the meal, ev-
cry number of the family were attacked
with vomiting, and were quite seriously
i'll. Medical aid was summoned, and we
are glad TO learn that a recovery follows
the application ofthe proper remedies. Il
is thought the sickness was occasioned by
unwholesome cheese, as cheese was served
at the lunch and plentifully psrtaken Of
by all. We hear Of several other cases of
a similar character within a few days.
The public will do we'll to take warning
from the above experiences, dealers as

Treatment Of Cholera

Att . meeting Of the New York Health
Commissioners, few days since, DR..
sayres, Of Brooklyn, gave the following
general rules for the treatment Of cholera
patients: "Gfeat fear and anxiety had q
great deal to do in the prostration and
spread of disease, and Influenced the ply
sical condition to such a degree as to make
persons more subject to il than they would
otherwise be. He thought If the people
understood the single fact that the cholera
Is not necessarily a fatal disease, and that
IL always is preceded by certain Fremont
itory symptoms, such as lassitude, great
languor, debility and diarrhea, and that
In this stage of the disease it is nearly al
ways durable, If the proper precautionary
measures are taken, it would tend to allay
the popular terror. At this stage of the
disease, it is of the first importance to pay
attention to the first symptom, which is
the diarrhea. At the very first approach,
the patient should assume the horizontal
posture and retain it, with the hips higher
than the shoulders, and under no circum-
stances assume the perpendicular, even

needed, the body being in warm condi-
tion. Any artificial means can be used
for that which may be necessary. The
main thing is the horizontal position, and
perfect rest at the very commencement Of
the disease. Ifthe patient is down stairs
when taken, let him stay there or be car
ried up /; hut do not let him walk up. If
he is ont visiting. let him stay at his
friends house. Keeping this position for
hours. in the majority of in
stances, the disease will pass over, and the
patient, on recovery, need make no very
great changes in his mode of life. OF
course, IL he has bad habits, he should re-
form them; eat and drink nationally, and
attend 70 business as usual, but not over
do himself In the present state ofthe at
when a pestilence is abroad. the
system is rendered more liable to exhaus-
tion, and he should husband his strength
by avoiding violent exercise. With these
few precautionary measure and a proper
condition Of the city. and rigid
of quarantine, we may hope
to escape any pestilential epidemic.
