No Clerkship fr Soldier.
The hcuds of a'l the departments aro most sori
ously embarrassed bv the crowds oi Union soldiers
flocking here to apply for clerkships, which It is
impossible to confer. In consequence of the recent
dec prions of demagogues, promising office to tha
heroes of tho Union army, hundred" of poor follows
have expondod thoir own and their trlnnds' mono
to. (rut on hero, and find that an appointment is an
impossibility.
Thus a cruel imposition is perpetrated upon these
brave soldiers many oi thorn inaimod and destitute.

action lor the destruction tv tiro, owing to tha
anegen carelessness ot ueii'tiaants, oi nearly eig.it
hundred balt-s ol cotton be'onincr to the olaintiff.
The complaint represents that m July, 1804, thi rle-
leiiuuntH auteea to carry the ction ottlio plaintiffs
from I'ln'adelphla to New Yori in consideration ot a
certain fixed amount of compensation: bui that.
owing to ti e carelosHness of the defeadanis one hun

of this tire amounts to Slfi,000 i hieh thev seek to
recover now with inteiest, costs ot trial, and o.ner
disbursements.

that thev made an agreement with the plaintiffs
but reprosent that tho lattor contracted with the
Illinois Central ftailroad to convev the ootton from
Cairo, III , 10 New York city, at tho throurti rate
01 two dollars per hundred pounds, on the under
standing that th? earners should not be responsi

Cases rroui (he "Pruvlnu' and
"Union," and Kearli-en tettilts in tho
Hoapltul Ship "I'ali uu'"
The cfTicers of the Boad of Health, yestorday,
took charge of the bremises No. 14 Cherry street,
thoroughly disinfected them, and burnod that por
tion ot tbecloibingot the deceased, John Kifzjrald,
which bad been soiled by dejections during his ill
ness. It as deemed ut necessary to hold a post
mortem examination, and ihD body was aceordmiy
tinned yesterday afternoon. We have, however.
been uble to nattier few p.f.Hipnal facts gauQ ruing
the case, Which are soniewlint Inferring,
Tho deceased arrived in New York very reoently
in company with bis family, Irom Missouri, and was
occupiin tho room In which no di"d in common
wi'h another lamily. , On Tuedav he dined on boiled
mutton and some vegetables and afterwards took a
wak. stopping at one of the numerous drinking
houses of tho Fourth Ward, w hero he drank a glass
of beer. Immediately alter Ills return ho was taken
lb, nnd at 11 o'clock a phisicinnwas called, who
found him suflerino from a violent diarrhoea, accom
panioc with vomiting and oramps, and in a partial y
collnpsed condition. During the uiirht, and contrary
to tho advice of the physician, ho drank somo boiled
milk. At 11 o'clock on Wednesday he was visited
again atd found in a moribund state, and at 2 o'clock
be died.
The circuTstanccs of hi death were of saflioient
importance to induce the Hoard of Health to take
the action related above, llie death will probably
be placed upon the records nndor the head of
diauhojaor cholera morbus; but the fear of the
unread ot poison was suflicionfly ereat to warrant
tbe destruction of tboe articles of clothing that had
been stained with the ejections and dejoetions of the
eeccased. The room in whiob he died has been
chansed and whitewashed; and, lor the sake of
showing that the case occurred from purely local
caures, it was ascertained, bv careful Inquiry, that
none of the passengers from the infected shins that
have recently arrived at this port, were domiciled in
tbe neighborhood. What the boor had to do witii
the disease is only surmised, although this very perti
nent inquiry was made, and one of the phvsioians
was anxious to know "what was in tho beorf "
Concerning the case reported from thi Sixth avo
nue, nothing further was known lust evening by the
Health authorities as we stated yesterday, the
woman will probably recover, or, if she should not,
her death will doubtless be c ari;ed to tbe same
eau-e as in the cae alreadv related. Her promisos
bave also been cleansed. The cases, unimportant as
the mav seem, are sufficient to show tho danger
that exist, and to urge them to renewed diligence
in the bus-ness of preparing for a too which vto
len'ly attacks llie weak and unarmed.
Ihe Illinois, which came to the city with the con
va'escents trom the rirqinia, is not in a condition
to be returned to tho Lower liav, and will remain
for repairs. In the meantime, there are but two
bulks there, and the woll are, ot ourse, confined to
the qnarteis In wl ich ihe disease originated. When
this state of a flairs will bo.t"dcd we have no meant
at present of determining; but we are permitted to
say that the authorities are not Idle, and the want
of proper accommodation at Quarantine for we'l
persons trom infmted ships is iuily understood aud
universally deprecated.
POISONING BY LEAD.
Ilnndreda of Persona rolond by I.at
Uroiind l'p with H.nr 1 Frightful
TrK'T In tbe WalKill Valley.
It is now nearly two months slnco the people re
siding along that portion ot the Wulkiil va'ley
which lies in the western part ot On.nge county,
were attacked by a disease which tor some lime
battled the skill of tbe phvsiciaus, they being at a
loss to divine the cause. I ho malady, it is true, ex
hibited the most positive symptoms of lead poison
ing. et all the sufferers stoutlv denied having used
anything that could in then- e tiolation have been
coutuminated with lead, even in its mineral condi
tion. In some rases whole families were stricken down,
while in others only one or t.vo members of a lamily
were attacked, bomet nies the disease assumed a
violent form, ana caused deetii ; and ai'aln it was of
a milder typo, and the paticnN were relieved. Te
ds v hundreds are suffering tiotn its effects, many of
whom will never be able to do anything and will in
t me wa-de away and die, the vic'.iuis of tins terrible
d sense .
Ibe symptoms most proro neni in these cases bave
been obstinate constipation, severe pain In the
abdomen, nausea and persi-dent vomiting, colic,
d.tlicnlty in voiding urine, and in many instances
the evaontaous bemir mingled with blood, pai o aud
heat in the rceion of the kidnevs, cramps and par
tial paralysis oi the upper extremities aud an
bbxIoub, gloomy exprecsion of countenance. The
above are the symptoms wlich have been present in
a Mteateror less degree of prominence aud severity
in every case.
I'ron bsional men at ones saw that these symptoms
pointed to and were characteristic of lead poison;
but it was also ob-ervod that some or all ot them
were encountered in other and lar dirt'eient tornn of
disease, as in colica ento'ttis (inflammation of the
intestines), hamiatura (bloody urine), dysuria (diffi
culty in voiding urine), aud other conditions ot the
system In which spasm, nervous disorder, and para
lysis manliest themselves. The only diatrnostlo symp
tom which, regarded bv itself, was conclusive as to
the lead poison, wss the blue line at the margin of
the teeth, which has been present in aim att every
case. Tbe doctors were solely perplexed, but. hi
about two wenks alter the nmt vion-ut cases came
under their notice, they hud, by csriul study, traced
the lead In the system, so ibat there was no longer
anv doubt on that point It now remained to asuer
tain llie source Irom whence il came,
After considerable research it was found that the
oad. WR evuveyud into tbu stowavbs gftije v,tioivr
by bread and meal and as a greater part of thou
staples were manufactured at the mill ot a Mr.
Harsh, ar 1'hilipsnurg, an investigation was atone
made In that olieouon, and the fa lowing fao's war

the miller htmse) Included i
It appears that Mr. Marsh bad gained an enviable
notoriety for tbe superior quniit ot hi flour, and
that the farmers for many miles around were in the
habit ot bringing their whe it and corn to his mill to
be made into flour and nieil. Aiue from this he
exported largely, so that his mill, whiou has tour
run of ttone, was kept constantly going, by night as .
well as by day. One set of these s ones was set
apart for his ' eastotn" work. Tliti. was an o d sot,
constantly needing rcpuirs, and large cavities fre
quently maniles ed themselves, wuioh, In-tead of .
being filled up with tbo cement generally used for
that purpose, weie filled with common lead, boms
of these holes were as large as a hen's egir, ouo, wn
are Informed, being as largo us the palm of a man's
hand. . if, when fl led, the lead projecte . above the '
surtRoe nt ti.e stone, i' was haii.uieied do vn level.
They were theu adjusted, the gram was run In,
and the motion beRua, and was gradual y increased
until a very Ini'h late ot hpeed was attained Oi -course
the att ition caused bv this vo ocily d. tachod
parities ol lead from the stone, aud mlng od theia
a nion imperceptibly wiUi the flour tacit moment
mcroased the amount, m that to every tojnd of
flour theio was. i oug i lead imparted to make small
buckshot. With Iho tnorinoiis biismoss of Mr.
Marsb the raid roan Iniaenie how mue.n lead was
being distributed throughout the surrounding coun

partook ot iho Hour
The lead m th s form was eimparativoly harmless,
but when fermented nnd subjected to the -baking
process it was immediately transloruied nto carbo
nate ot lead Ihe deadliest of all load poi-ous. Itroad
ol this kind was but littlt, tet cr than broad spread
w itn white lead as a snttite for butter.
Weie it not lor tho lact that tno lead was taken in
tuch targe qunnnties as to produce a couiror suite ef
ction, hundreds would have died belore tho causa
Could be discovered.
As soon as it became apparent that the disease
sprang from. tne bread ol wmch tho sutforors had
partaken, l)r Durranco, and Mr. King a very skill-
lul chemist ot iddleton, ai once doter mined to
anah ze tno flour, hnuip es were procured, add to
their astonisnmeut itiov lound tha; ihe lea.i could be
discerned with the naked evo. Next,, a microscope
revealed it bevond a doubt, and as a still lurther
prooi it was subjected to some six standard testa,
each one showing ihe presi nee of lead in lurge quan
tity s. Alter tbet-ctists all tho flour which uad come
lrom Marsh's mill was quick v roturned to him aud
the mill ceased ruuniug: but tbo mischief was already
done, tbe seed had been sowu and the lruit was
coming forth at an alarming rato; tne vouug and
old wero stricken down, those a ho wen atUtoted
with auy chronic ciscase being the greatest suflorors.
Ol course a panic was tho result, and the doctors
were kcut busy day and inght. I do not care t
pain your readers with a recital of the terrible ago
nies endured by these uulortunato pooplo but tbe
scenes throughout a radius of from twenty to thirty
miles oi the country were truly heartrending. Only
those who have mi Ill-red can lorm any idea ot the
horrors, the mwaru tires vrhicn were consuming the '

'J. Brail y. Captain Laudis. uivlug Mr. Davis tno
pai ole 01 the tort is said to have been doofdud on In
Washington belore her arrival thore sucb decision
being the alleged joint effect, however, of a prior
letter of hers to Fresinent Johnson on the subject,
and Ihe special report of Surcreon Cooper ou Mr.
Luvis' health Whether she sought to accomplish
anything uhe regarding her husband, and accom
plished it or otherwise, has not yet transpired.
Among rumors touching the object of her visit to
tbe nutionui capital is one that she avowed her de
termination to move heavon and earth to efloot tuo
removal ot Major-Oeneral Miles, the oommandant
ol this district, and by virtue of such position held
accountable as the responsible guardian of Mr.
lJavis. It is hardly credible that she should essay to
ventilate her peisonal ill-ieelings towards General
Mlk it site entertains any against him by ven
turing on any such bold doinand. to a Dors on of
reasonable modesty tbe idea would BUggest itself
that the multiplie t of favors she lies asked and will
bave to ask for her husband and herself ought to
s u flice.
Mis Davis, upon her re urn, finds Mr. Davis In
improved healtn, aud vastly mure oheorful tlmu
when sue went away. He has lanen every advan
tage of the privileges granted bim uuder his parole,
and a much bettor s ate ot health U the resu t. iiis
recent interviews with bis counsel bave added to
his cheertulness. It is to be presumed also that
from her interviews with others of his counsel sho
brings a pleasing budnet of intelligence, and lirnu r
basis than ever fur mutually encouraging hopes in
thelutuie. As to the time of the trial I sm told
she brines no positive information. The United
ttta'es District Court uieits to morrow iu Norfolk,
but this of course has no connection with his ap
proaching trial. Jf. y. Herald.
