Tus War Department has just issued
a general order containing an extract
from the army appropriation bill, passed
during the last session Of the Thirty
ninth Congress. The bill enacts that
all militia forces now organized or in
service in either Of the States of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Texas, be forthwith d%isbanded, and
that the further organization, arming or
calling into service Of the paid militia
forces, or any part thereof, is hereby
prohibited, under any circumstances
whatever, until the same shall be au-
thorized by Congress. The publication
of this extract is Intended as an expla-
nation Of the refusal Of Secretary
Schoield to furnish arms to the militia
Of the Southern States on the applica-
ton of the Governors, and for the infor-
nation Of the officers Of the army now
on duty in the South.

lished from twcnty-one to twenty-five
years ago, he will find the Bay of San
Francisco laid dawn on the map in the

bia River about &C or Al degrees. Lit.
tie was then known practically about
the Western frontier, and until the time
of our war with Mexico and the expedi-
ton of Col. Fremont, little was known
OF the geography Of California. Oregon
was considered missionary ground, and
young men Of enterprise were encour-
aged to look forward to that rs = posi-
BILE field of useful labor. Now maps and
surveys have made that entire country
familiar to US; settlements have been
formed right across the country to San
Francisco, and many Of them, large
enough for European nations, have Ter

CONSUMPTION AND TUBERcLE. - DR..
William Budd, m eminent London
physician, gives the following rs the
principal conclusions to which he has
been led regarding phthisls, or con.
sumption and tuberclo |. That tuber-
Gle is a true zymotic disease of a speci.
fc nature, in the same sense as typhoid
fever, scarlet fever, typhus, etc., are.
2. That, like those diseases, tuberclc
never originates spontaneously, but is
perpetuated solely by the law Of con-
tinuous succession. 3. That the tuber-
culous itself is Tor includes) the specific
morbifc matter of the disease, and con-
stitutes the material by which consump-
ton is propagated from n person to
another, and disseminated through So
ciety. 4. That the deposits of this
matter are therefore Of the nature of an
eruption, and bear the same relation to
the disease as the yellow matter of ty-
phoid fever, for instance, bears to
typhoid fever. 5. That by the destruc-
ton of this matter, on its discharge
from the body, by means Of proper
chemicals or otherwise, seconded by
good sanitary conditions, there is rea-
son to hope that We may eventually,
and possibly at no distant time, rid our
selves of this fatal scourge.
The grounds GU which DR.. Budd
POUNDS these views are /: |. The pathol-
ogy of consumption, which he thinks
shows q specific cell proliferation. 2.
Indisputable instances Of personal con-
tagion. 8. The geographical distribu-
ton OF consumption, the disease ex-
tending to newly-discovered peoples in
proportion to their intercourse with
Europcaus-for instance the South Sea
Islanders, tho North American Indians
and the African, among whom consump-
ton was unknown when they were first
visited BY the whites, though 1t has
since proved extremely fatal. The re-
lation of consumption to high and low
levels is the tame as that Of ordinary
zymotic, epidemic, endemic and conta-
gious diseases. 8. Consumption pre-
walls extensively in converts, harems,
monasteries, peuitcntiaries, just as do
the zymotic diseases. Dr.. Budd says
that the idea first occurred to him iu
1854, and his Investigations since have
confirmed him in this hypothesis, for
which he claims the superiority over all
others that it explains all the facts of
consumption.

THE SOLDIERS AND THE DE-
MOCRACY.

The soldiers and Sailors" so
called, who were used by the Democrats
to give to the New York Convention a
sham appearance of patriotism, from the
fact that these soldiers and sailors"
protested to be true Democrats, and,
therefore, declared that they had a right
to be heard, wero somewhat stability
treated by this superior Convention.
They had a candidate of their own,
General Hancock, INC they besought
the Convention to give them II candidate
whom they could support. But Hancock
had been too patriotic for the Wade
Hamptons and Fort Pillow Forests who
ruled the Convention. He had assisted
in putting down the rebellion. He was
one of the most gallant among the COM
mauders Of corps in Virginia, who,
under the direction Of Grant, put m end
to the rebellion. The Convention did
not want him, but chose, in preference,
the man who had declared thnt the war
was q failure, and who denounced its
continuance. Hancock was not the
candidate for n Convention composed OF
Southern rebels during tho war, and
Northern sympat hizers with the re-
bellion. 1t was consistency to nomi-
nate Seymour and to reject Hancock.
Perhaps it may be said that the nomi-
nation of Blair as Vice President will
be satisfactory to the white Boys in
Blue" Certainly not. Blair, unless
the assassination of Seymour is on the
programme, will hare not rs much in
f~luence upon the policy of Seymour as
any member of Congress may have. He
is to preside over the Senate without
a vote except when the Senate cannot
agree. Vice Presidents, unless in
case Of "accidental succession to the
Presidency, have been Of so little &C
count that, although every school boy
knows the names of all the Presidents OIL
the United States, there are very few
persons, juvenile or adult, who can tell
from their own knowledge who were the
Vice Presidents. In addition, Blair
now occupies very much the position Of
Benedict Arnold after the arrest Of john
Andre. All that Blair once fought fol
he is ready, he now says, 10 fight
against. He wants to undo his own
victories and cast down that which he
built up. "The White Boys in Blue
profess to be proud of their proceeding:
in the war, and to be rs patriotic nov
as they were then. Hence they have
been disappointed. They have beer
badly used also. They were engaged
as q "side show" in New York, ant
they have lost the benefit Of the tickle
money. As a little piece of humbue
connected with the New York Conyen'
ton, the %convocation Of soldiers and
sailors might have been q cunaingly ar
ranged affair, but, having accomplished
its purpose, the participants in itart
discharged without thanks.

A SCIENTIFIC contemporary remarks
that the military telegraph system now
used in the United States army is prob
ably the most perfect in the world.
During the recent examinations at West
Point, the telegraph corps laid wires
and got them in working order at the
rate Of q mile in ten minutes. a light
steel wire covered with copper is used.
There are several ways Of laying 1t.
Sometimes a soldier starts of on a run,
carrying on his back n couple Of reels
containing two miles of wire, which un-
winds along on the ground he is fol-
lowed by others, who carry and set the
insulated stakes, attach instruments,
batteries, etc. But ordinarily the wire
is laid from q wagon carrying the reels,
which is followed by the insulator wag-
on, and the instrument and battery
wagon. The reels may also, in cases OF
necessity, be carried by mounted men.
