The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, writing on the 18th inst,
says:
The sentenced "conspirators," Mudd, Ar
mold, O'Laughlin, and Spangler, arrived here
at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, on the
steamer State of Maine. They were in charge
Of Brevet Brigadier General Dodd, and wore
irons on their ankles. When first placed on
board at Washington, they also had on mana
Giles. These last letters were removed after
the steamer left her wharf at Washington. On
the trip down Mudd and Spangler were very
cheerful, and employed their time in playing
backgammon. O'Laughlin and Arnold on the
other hand, seemed much depressed in spirits,
and were melancholy and reserved.
On her arrival in the Roads, the State Of
Maine anchored, and General Dodd came on
shore and communicated with Washington by
telegraph. Just at shutdown the steam tug
Chowan went alongside of the State of Name.
and the four conspirators were placed on board
Of her. The Chowan then steamed alongside
of the United States sunboat Florida. The four
prisoners were put on board the Florida, and
that gunboat Immediately steamed TO seward.
AS the crimson twilight bathed the broad bay
in sheen of gold the Florida departed. The
bright gold on reflection of the sunny sky faded
to dun, and the dun TO blackness, as the steam
er stood down the bay. The prisoners were
taken below, the light fading out of their mis-
directed lives, even as the light was fading GU,
of sea and sky. And in the gathering darkness
our eyes lost sight of the Florida, with her i'll
omened passengers.

Hints TO Bathcrs.

At this season, when bathing is popular, it
will be well to observe the following practical hints,
which we take from the London SiIpenHy Mdgosine
On first plunging into cold water there comes a
shock which drives the blood to the central part of the
system. But Immediately II reaction takes place,
which is assisted by the exercse'of swimming, produ-
cling even in water of low temperature, IN agreea-
BILE warmth The stay in the water should never be
prolonged beyond the period of this excitement If the
water be left while this warmth continues, and the
body Immediately dried, the healthy glow over the
whole surface will be delightful.
To remain in the water after the first reaction is
over, produces prolonged chiness, shrinking OF
the flesh, and contraction of the skin, by no means
favorable TO health or enjoyment for 1t is only in
water thoroughly warmed by summer heats where we
may battle for many hours with impunity.
Certain precautions are necessary. Moderate ex-
ercise, by summoning into action the powers of the
SYSTEM and quickenng the circulation is better than
inactivity. We should never go into water immedi-
ately after meal nor while the process of digestion
is going forward Nor should we plunge into the wa
ter when violently heated or in state of proiuse per
spiration Such imprudences are often fatal, especial
ly If the water be unusually cold. II too warm, the
temperature Of the body may be reduced by bathing
the wrists and wetting the head.
Before meals rather than after and especially before
breakfast and before supper, are proper fol
bathing. The heats of the day are to be avoided, bu
in very hot weather. bath is useful to cool the
blood and secure refreshing sleep II in the middle
of the day, a shaded place should be chosen or the
head protected from the sun by being kept wet by
wearing straw hat, is practised by the fashion
able French ladies at their watering places.
The sea is the best place for swimming Owing to
the greater specific gravity of salt water than fresh

stances. ship coming out of salt waternto iresh,
sinks perceptibly in the water. The difference Is
nearly equal to the weight of the salt In solution
