There are three views respecting the
origin of most Infectious diseases.
The L ffrstt is that HAT they originate fseaa

which its PARTICLES undergo in certain
conditions.
al second is that they are due to living
organisms, mostly microscopic plants.

mouth or lungs, the product Of living
germs outside Of the body.
The third is in part like the second,
but it claims that the living germs,
are generated directly, apart from all
parent germs, from elementary particles
Of filth, during the various processes Of
their decomposition and decomposition.
The last view is held by the advocates

Spontaneous generation"
The first is the old view, and is still
maintained by many strong advocates,
The second is q wholly modern view,
and rests mainly on the discovery of'the
parasites by the microscope.
Filth, however, lies at the basis Of
every view, even the second holding
that filth il a hot-bed for the rapid
growth and multiplication OF the germs.
and that its influence on the human sys-
tenn is to, lower its vitality and thus
make it good soil for their development.
Hence these diseases are now universally
known as filth diseases.

what l aimed to do, viz, make center shot !;
and that sort Of a shot is always followed by
grave quiet or sqreal and il sort O seems to
me- as though l heard something.
But, laying all jokes aside, the comrade for

the Second Brigade forming On our left.
Really, there should be no distinction, for
Carr's whole Division was on the ground, and
HOvey's Division came up after the battle had
commenced. / did not sec the 46th or 34th
Ind. They were not in front Of us that day,
although Of course, they were on the battle
field. If Comrade Martin saw the position of
any regiment of the First Brigade he must
have come up behind it, or had more time to
take observations than we did. The whole
truth is, as l believe, that when the battle be-
gan Carr's Division was stretched out little
too thin. The Johnnies had four men to our
one As soon as Hovey could be got there he
sent one of his brigades in to strengthen Carr,
and, as have said before, it was just what was
needed, for as Hovey's Brigade came up Carrs
line trotted right along over the ravine, and
the Johnnies trotted back. Every Colonel ON
the line might have ordered his regiment to
take that battery, but didn't hear them or
the line M ght have gone ahead without orders,
as the same division did do at Black River only
q few days afterward. l do know when Hoveys
Brigade came up, for l saw q portion Of their

IOGAN'S GUN CAR.
A For. on Wheels Which Did Good Work.

To TIE EDITOR: As one Of your subscribers,
and also being an old vet that consumed his
| share of harCl-tack and sow-belly in Grants
army from 61 to 80 l would like to ask why
1t is that nothing has been said in regard to
/ one of the grandest schemes known ut that
time to modern warfare viz, the iron-clad
gun car that was built at jackson, Tenn, by
order of Gen. John A. Logan, to do guard duty
on the Mississippi Central & Mobile & Ohio
Railroad. Your correspondent had the honor
of being one of the crew that manned the IT,
pouud gun on said car; and thinking perhaps
that short sketch concerning said gun car
would not be out of place, L will endcayOr to
give It's short history. The car was long, fiat
Car, sided up with solid oak timber, soping
sides and ends, the same being covered with
boiler iron, and supposed to be bu!iet-proof.
A gun carriage was made Ia Ia gunboat), aud
or it was mounted q 1GpouHd James rfied
cannon. On It's completion one nice moonlight
( night was set to try the working of this fort
on wheels. So the crew was ordered aboard,
an engine ordered out, and, accompanied by
| Gen. John A. Logan and few selerted guests
We started down the road. We selected spot
where there was dense woods on each side,
and, after coming TO Standstiil, the order was
given TO commence firing, which. was DONE
firing shells into the woods on each side of the
track. TIE invention was pronounced a Sue
cess, and we were ordered hack to jackson to
morning, when we were attached on to the
front end Of locomotive and pushed down to
Grand junction, Tenn.
The object of this gun car was to keep the
guerrillas from firing into the trains tearing up
the track, etc, and as such j: proved success,
and we had many 4 skirmish with the john
nies. We started to Holly Springs the morn
ing Col. Murphy surrendered, but was met by
a company OF tho I'd III. Cav, who told us the
place was i'll possession of the rebels, when we
started back to Dun's Mills; but the rebs were
between us and the mills tearing up the track,
and the way we handed them grape and cam
lister was caution. They succeeded in setting
bridge on fire, bat We replaced the track and
drove the Johnnies OFF, and went through that
bridge at the rate of q mile minute and help
ed to save the day at the mills. But sad fate
awaited the noble gun car. Starting from
Memphis one evening (your correspondent
being ordered back to his battery that same
day., when at Cold Water Creek the rebels had
sawed the timbers of the bridge in such way
that when the car struck it it went down
through the bridge to the bottom of the creek,
carrying with it the locomotive and a box car,
on which were some colored soldiers. Very
few escaped. 1t was a very sad ending for the
glorious and short career of Logan's gun car
