the camp is an artificial and unnatural methoci

and, in the sudden departure from the cur•

When the Secretary of War commissioned
Miss Dii as the superintendeast of a corps eie
nurses for service in the army hospitals, we
commended his action as an appropriate tri
bute to the humanity of the age. We have
now to notice another organization, which we
think will go far towards ameliorating the no

appointed, consisting of twelve or thirteen
gentlemen eminent in the medical, militata
and civil professions. They define their du

service of the Government, and to take men

mendations addressed to the proper mints*

to the country they give us tome startlim

is much greater. The mortality, we =jell
add, does not generally cease with the war,
and thousands go home with the seeds of dealt
In their systems, only to fall, bathe course of e
few months, or a few years, into an nntimela
grave.
In a life of peace we know how much de
ponds upon what we eat and drink, and the
quality ot the clothing we wear. The carrel)*
of health is often turned into a channel 01
sickness by the moat trivial circumstance
Thinshoes is a snowstorm; an extra waltz re

Will occasionally commit, have been the meant
of bringing many from blooming health to a
bed of sickness, and, perhaps, to the . coffin.
If, then, we pay so much regard to ourselver
when we are sheltered by home and in the eu
joyment of its comforts, why abould it not be
increased when we enter into a camp and
abandon the pleasures and privileges whiei
civilization and peace bestow upon ns ? Cam,
Ste has a tendency to be a, careless life, whin
it should be the Most careful.
In their address the members of the Com
mission notice the evils which tend to spread
mortality among the troops. The differenc.
between food well prepared and that erridela
srepared makes a change of forty per cent. ii
the available strength and efficiency of a reg. ,
meet. The quality of water Inrnighed then
is most important, and we are pained to see it
stated that many of our troops are already
Offering from the want of properly-cooker ,
food and thoroughly-purified water. These
two very important matters deserve the imme
diate- attention of the Government, and ahonio
be attended to without even the interference
of a commission.
The members of this Commission serve with ,
out reward, and, in addition to the pnrposei
above indicated, they propoae to include man;
other matters requiring prompt actien in tie
sphere of their duties. They say : ee The
clothing supplied the volunteer regiment

to be adopted in particular localities; thew
and many other points demand investigatiox
and action with the least possible delay."
They also think that a proper attention to their
suggestions will save over twenty per cent. to
our men from perishing by the diseases of the
camp, and that they will enable our soldiers to
preserve a greater degree of military efficien
cy. It must be remembered, also, that in the
progress of the war our soldiers may be com
pelled to visit districts where the climate is
maiming, and to Whose pecullaritica the)
have not been inured. In many parts of the
Smith life is almost unsupportable to thos.

dwell there—along the Red river, and in many

army would find a surer foe than even the
muskets of the Southern soldiers or the rifled
cannon of General ISICAIII.EGARD. In enter
ink eper. these expeditions no unitary reg .
lotions can be too strict, and no precautionr
too thorough.
The health and comfort of our troops will
depend also upon the care and skill of those
commanding them; for, after all, the officers
of a regiment are the proper judges of its

meat says else wOf two regiments which left
the camp of St. Omer at the same time, ar
rived together in the Crimea (in the month et
18550 encamped side by side, having
submitted so the same atmospheric viciaaltudes
and terformed like service, one of them had
preserved, on the Ist of April, 1856, 2 224
soldiers, out of a tome of 2 676 men : whilst
th e other, with a force of 2,827 men, had left
to it only 1,239. This account includes those
whe died from disease, and not from wounds
received in battle."
We anticipate mach good from this Com
mission. Its members are men of experience
and ability, and fully capable of carving out
the work they attempt. They ask for aid to
enable them to commence their plan of opera
tions. We commend their enferprise to the
consideration of the people.
The Crew of the Privateer Savannah.
Mach curiosity is manifested in regard to
the late of the crew of the privateer r oven
fish, which was recently captured by the brig
Perry, and these doubts will, probably, soon be
solved, as we see that the revenue cutter Har
riet Lone arrived at New York yesterday with
tone of the officers and nine of the seamen
w ho were captured on board that piratical
vessel. The United States District Attorney
at New York at once obtained a warrant for
their arrest, and their case will immediately
be laid before the Grand Jury, which has been
kept In session for the purpose, and, as soon
as an indictment is found, a day for their trial
will be fixed.
The offence of which they are accused is
clearly punishable by our laws with death, and
it any evidence beyond the circumstances at
tending their capture, and the letter of marque
issued by the traitor chief ITIFFEr.3OII Davis,
which was found on board the Savanna/I.os
needed to convict them, it will probably be
furnished by the seaman KIAWIZERBOCKER, who
claims to have been impressed into their ser
vice, and who is held as a witness.
The story which has been going the rounds
of the press in regard to the captain of this
vessel, T. H. BAKER, is incorrect in most of
its features, and he is in no way connected
with the Mr. Sam who was formerly a mem
her of the firm of BASILE & STETSON. But he
was, novertheleati, once a resident of Phila.
iielphia, and visited this city about four months
Igo. lie is a dashing and adventurous young
man of considerable talent, an agreeable com
panion, an- accomplished musician, and well
versed in the science of navigation. Se was
connected, we believe, with the Mrxiren
Boundary Commission, and has spent several
years in California, from which State he not
long since retuned to the Atlantic coast.
The probabilities are, that the trial of the
Savannah privateers will result in their con•
viatica, and sentence to death, in which event
nothing but the clemency of the President of
the United States will prevent their execution.
Cotton and Revenue.
The financiers of the South have Wight ns
s lesson which may eventually prove some.
what embarrassing to their favorite monarch,
King Cotton. They have, for the Brat time
in our history, undertaken to impose an ex
port duty on that article, and, not satisfied
with that, propose that the whole crop shall
qe handed over to their traitorous leaders, who
are to give for it the worthless bonds of the C.
i. A., and to sell it to England for gold. Now,
ill this for the present practically amounts to
nothing, for while their ports are blockaded
heir cotton cannot be sent abroad, and no re
venue can be derived from it either by the
planters who own it or the traitors who hare
proposed to tax and virtually confiscate it.
But we shall also presently be called upon to
zoosider how the expenses of the war are to
ne paid, and, among other means for raising
1:10II0y, it may be well enough to consider
whether we cannot find in the cotton crop an
important source of revenue.
Since the subjects of King Cotton have been
the most active agents of the great rebellion,
it would be particularly just and proper to
nake them pay as large a share as possible of
the expenses of the contest. We are aware
hat at present this idea may not be a prima.
eat one, and perhaps it can never be carried

may occur which will render it worthy of at
tention.
Wentern Virginia.
It is impossible for the public to be as fully
apprized of the movements of onr forces in
Western Virginia as in other regions, from
which newspaper correspondents are enabled
to maintain a more direct and constant com
munication with the leading presses of the
country, but there is a strong reliability that
important events are about to transpire in
-hat quarter. If the rumors that General
teCtar.u.a.N will attempt to cut off' the corn
nunications of the traitors with the Southwest
in Southwestern Virginia prove true, an im
portant battle may speedily occur there, and,
it our forces are successful, the enemy will be
completely hemmed in, and placed in an ex
:saintly perilous position.

by fifty-six members—exactly the number affixed

. . .
While the Climber of Borneolee were "die
triating" the oity, the people of Frankford had
good reason to fear that some of the widows and
WIVINI of their volunteers might starve to death.
Whereupon tir.y did not prooeed to sl district"
Frankford and Aramingo, but began to collect and
distribute money. Io thls way they have steadily
given support to the families of all legitimate vo
lunteers up to the present time
They have eolleoted neatly seven hundred dol
lars, and given away about three hundred. The
money has been bestowal in a spirit of even
banded kindness, and not thrown to the destitute
aa crumbs to the dogs that fawn beneath the
table.
We witnessed a distribution of thie kind yester
day, when a reetpient came into the office of one
of the dietributore to receive her quota or relief.
The committeeman said " Good atternooo,"
pleasantly, and made some trifling inquiries which
went to show the good feeling existing on both
side!. The documents were exhibited, and the
money came forth at once in fair currency. It wee
a email thing to give—two d Dare, perhaps—but a
large sum for the poor woman to take away, which
she did with a beaming face and a pace that grew
more rapid Ise mho walked along with thing hopes
at every step.
0 wing to some mieunderetanding, this committee,
with Dr. Leake at De head, issued circulars yester
day disavowing connection with a certain volunteer
concert. to be given in the town hall.
We suppose that exleas of zeal, on the part of
MOO parties. may have led to this conflict of
charities. Charity, however, " hideth mnob

advancing so prosperously, it might answer to
