Mr. Etitor-The Board Of Health of the city of
New Orleans, after mature deltberation and care
full analysis Of reports, ordinances, and tine expe-
rience of previous boards Of health Of this city
as well as reports and ordinances of other boards
elsewhere, have submitted to the common council
series of wise provisions for The prevention Of
epidemic diseases, and the protection Of the health
Of It's citizens Among them is an important one
proposing the appointment of four medical Off
Gers, for the four districts to carry ont the hygi
suic measures which may be deemed necessary
for the welfare of the city.
An erroneous impression, however seems to
nEeyal with some as to the real purpose Of this
ordinance and the duties of those officers. Those
opposed to the measure profess to believe that the
duties Of these officers will conflict with those Of
the street commissioner, and that the objects con
tempIated by this ordinance can be equally as well
attained by employing the street commissioner.
4 cursory examination Of this subject is not at
present inopportune; and tits easy to demonstrate
that those who wish to reject this ordinance on the
above grounds are reasoning from false premises
ana that their conclusions are consequently ncor.
rect, if not positively injurious to the welfare Of
the city and are given without sufficient know
! edge or examination Of the subject.
The duties required of these health officers are
Of purely medical character, to be prescribed
by the Board of He lth. As medical men only
will they be qualified to perform their duties, as
may be inferred from some Of the subjects whicl
will engage their professional attention; such as
the observation of the predisposing causes of epi
demc diseases in relation to local sources of in
fectiop; the influence of the various disinfectent
on the naturalization of mephitic poisons; tn
operation of certain mephitic posons on tn
community to which their attention may be d
rected, and the sources of the poisons. Their al
tenton will also be called to the subject ofventils
ton, the undue crowding or huddling together c
the wretehed poor, particularly during epidemi
seasons and, frequently, the diagnosis and trea
ment of diseases requiring prompt official intel
ference and report will come within their legit
} mate province.
1t is very clear that the street commissioner
useful as they are in their proper sphere, are nj
qualified as a class to execute the duties thus-co
templated by the Board of Health in the appon
nrent of medical inspectors.
The question may be suggested, are these dut
necessary to be performed? The above name
influences in the generation Of disease are too We
known to all hygenists to admit of doubt; and
follows as necessary consequence that tht
should be carefully attended to.
Whoever else may feel Indifferent or hostile
this subject let it not be said that the city fathe
are unwilling to meet it in spirit of candor al
liberality, and to cooperate with the Board
Health in their intelligent and commendable zc
for the welfare, prosperity and future sanitary e
cellence of the Crescent City. H.

AN OH BORDER FEuD.-The Buffalo corres.
pondent of q Boston paper, writing upon the Fe-
nian excitement there, gives thefollowing interest
ng "reminiscences; &
There ia a ahereditary grudge existing between
Buffalo and her majesty subjects across the hor-
der. In the war Of 1872 the citizens of the rising
village of Buffalo were jealous partisans. POSI-
bly, some of them may have assisted at the burning
of the village of Kingston, on the other side.
Retaliation was determined upon, and on the 30th
of December. 1872, large force of British and
Indians crossed at Black Rock, advanced upon the
village, took il and burned every house but two,
Hence the Buffalonians were fierce always at the
sight of red coat.
The year after the burning of the Caroline ct
Schlosser / recolleet joining an excursion PARTY
for trip down the Niagara to Grand Island. The
channel of the river is deepest near the Canadian
shore. Our steamer consequently passed
within easy hail Of the little village opposite
Black Rock, where was stationed few companies
of refugee negroes, who had been transformed
from Southern slaves into British soldiers. Oar
excursion band played Yankee Doodle and Hail
Columbia, while some thoughtless youths gyrated
their dexter finger thumb on nose, in an aggraVat-
ing manner, but nothing was Thought Of it as a
heinous offense until our return toward evening,
when the dRrkies on guard, to the number Of
! aboat twenty, turned out, marched close
to the water side, presented arms, took
deliberate aim and fred a Folley of bullets
among us-men, women and children. Fortu-
natey none were hit. The decks were speedily
cleared. Great was the wrath Of our company
when the surprise was little over. There was
neither gun nor bullet on board, but an oTganiza-
ton was eXtempori4ad for signal vengeance that
same night. 1t was determined TO capture the red
coats and destroy their guard house. The affair
| coming to the knowledge of Colonel Bankhsad, in
/ command of the United States barracks, that Of
feer took measures to prevent the threatened
raid, and by correspondence with the British
| ofiieern command of tue opposite district, pro-
cured the removal Of the black soldiers and ahand-
some apology for their conduct.

SMOKE CONSTITUTIONAL new invention for con-
suming smoke and economizng fuel has been ap
piled to the steam engine furnaces in several large
works in Sheffield, England. The novelty consists,
in supplying the furnace with hot instead of cold
air for combustion, and feeding the boiler with
boiling instead of cold water. The air is heated
by being drawn through hues along each side OF
the boiler, and it passes from the fues into the
furnace through small perforatons in the brick
work forming the sides Of the furnace. Il IS thus
distributed evenly over the whole surface 81 the
fire.

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-08-25
From the Norfolk Virginian.

Speaking of the principles laid down by
the late National Convention, and the spi-
rit of the southern press in connection
Herewith, the Wilmington Dispatch says
"Other papers, such as the Richmond
Dispatch, Goldsboro' Ne,cs, Newbern Com
mercial, and Norfolk Frginian, are willing
to swallow the bitter pill without making
even one wry face"
We have no earthly objection to being
placed in the same catalogue with either Of
the excellent journals mentioned in the
same unjust connection with ourselves !;
but do insist most strenuously, that in fear
less defence of the rights of the South we
are in no whit behind any paper published
in the limits Of the late Confederacy.
Never mind wry faces. We approve I'M
qualifedly of neither the resolutions nor
the address adopted by the Convention
but its aim was our salvation, and we shall
seize the rope thrown out without commit
ting ourselves to any heresies Of either
party.
