devious halls formed by piles of cat

seemed to be a solid wall, against which
was piled the same sort of ammunition,
but through an aperture between the

The Affairs 0fthe COnfederacy.


affairs of the Coutederacy are under a
cloud. The march of Sherman through
the heart of Georgia has been accom-.
plished, and he has been allowed to es-
tablish his communications with the ma.
val forces on the Atlantic, without any
other loss than that Of numerous strag.
glers, and the usual wear and tear OF
an army on so long an expedition. Sa,
vanuah once occupied, he will endeav-
or not only to make the valuable line
of the Savannah river useful for strate-
gical purposes up to Augusta, if we do
not by that time impede navigation, but
he will also march at once upon Branch
vile, and endeavor to possess himself
of that most important center of rail-
road communication.
Hoods progress in Tennessee has
been peremptorily checked, and his ar
my has lostcompactness, efficiency, and
spirit, which had signalized it after a
few months service under Johnston
Like the march of Bragg into Ken
tucky, which ended with the battle of
Murtreesboro, won by men and lost by
commanders, the move into Tennessee
also undertaken for the purpose of with
drawing Sherman from the cotton states,
has been an unsuccessful diversion.
The battle of Franklin may have been
brilliant, but it was useless, and the af-
fair of Nashville seems to have been
the battle Of Winchester over again.
But it cannot be denied that there is
sad want of generalship in the general
management of our military affairs.
And this again, and from absence of
military aid and genius on the part of
our leaders.-[Rch, Eng. Dec, "a.

rFThe origin of the word tectotal

rTThe origin Of the word tectotal-
Ter has been much discussed, some
connecting it with the word tea, and
others accounting for its formation by
he system of reduplication of initial
consonants. What appears to be its
true derivation is given by a cores
pondent ofthis journal. In the early
stages Of the temperance movement
in this country the pledges which
were circulated provided only for an
ahstinence from distilled liquors.
Those who were willing to refrain also
from brewed beverages and other in
toxicating drinks, annexed to their
names, when signing the pledge a cap
ital I, meaning Total, that Is, Total
Abstinence By common tautology
these people soon received the appel
lation of Ttoilovs, or as the word is
now spelled, teefoiinrs. The term is
therefore Of American, not english ORR

SUMMER FRu1rs Acids promote the
separation of the bile from the blood
which is then passed from the system,
thus preventing levers and the prevail
ing diseases of summer. All fevers
are "bilious;' that is, the bile is in
the blood. Whatever is antagonistic
of fever is cooling. 1t is common
saying that fruits are cooling and
also berries of every description; it is
because the acidity which they contain
aids in separating the bile from the
blood; that is. aids in purifying the
blood. Hence the great yearning for
greens, and lettuce, and salads in the
early spring, these being eaten with
vinegar: hence, also, the taste for
something sour-for lemonade-on an
attack of fever. But this being the
case, it is easy to see that we nullify
the good effects of fruits and berries
in proportion ms we eat them with
sugar, or even sweet milk or cream.
II we eat them in their natural state,
fresh, ripe, perfect, it is almost i'm
possible to eat too many, to eat enough
to hurt us, especially if we eat them
alone, not taking any liquid will
them whatever.
