HUNTING - DON, PA.
. ITEMS FOR SOLDIERS
The following hints if studied and
lived up to by our soldiers in the field
cannot but prove most valuable and
would save the life of many a brave
man. They are taken from Hull's
Journal of Health, and should be re•
printed in every newspaper in the
country :
. Swallowing Poison.—Stir in . a glass
of water it heaping teaspoonful each of
Salt . and kitchen mustard; and drink it
instantly-this• will -nipty the stom
ach in' a minute. Pp antagonise any
poison that may left, sWallow the
Whites of two or Three eggs; then
drink a cup or two of very strong cof
'be, or as much Sweet Milk or cream, i
impossible to get coffee. : '
Poisoned fines.—Apply a paste
Made of gunpowder, or sulphur, with
milk; renew night and morning until
cured. -Lite on gruel soups, rico, and
other mild food; haVing the boWels to
act twice a day.
Signs- of Death:—=Bury no man ua-,
less his head is off, or the abdomen be
gins to turn green or dark,- the only,
sure signs, but alwip sure, of actual
death. there is haste, cutoff a toe
or finger, which Would wake up :the
slightest spark of life
To Stop Bleeding.—Four or five
drops of Perehloride',of Iron will stop
completely* the flow of blood from all
except the:largest arteries; half a tea
spoonful will arrest even their bleed
ing. Each non•coniThissioned officer
should have two ounces of- this in a
flat tin - bottle, wound around with a
little cotton batting, on a bit of which
the liquid could be dropped for appli
cation.,
Obedience is - not servility, it is a high
duty ; it is not cowardly, but proudly
.honorable in a soldier. If your officer
speaks sharply, it is neither to insult
nor browbeat; it: is 'to wake up atten
tion, instant and implicit,
FUR every wounded soldier taken
to the hospital in. the Crimean war,
twelve were taken on account, of dis
ease; disease which could be avoided
in inure, than half the c as es by such
care as the soldier cap take of himself,
as directed in these pages. Of the 15,
000 lives lost in the Mexican war, on
ly 1548 were from battle. The U. S.
Sanative CommisSion report that 104
Heidi° re ,beeerne -siek,i-to.,:each-1000-in
the present war.
Shirts.--A distinguished British Ar
my Surgeon says: More than one-half
the diseases in warm countries
are owing to the exposure of the ab
domen to changes of ternperatUre.—
Shirts should roach the thigh..'
Inner Clothing. Every garfnent
that touches a soldier's shin should be
woolen in all-seasons, most important
in the warmest weather. It is•impos
sible to over-estimate the value of this
one item to the health of an army.
Limestone Water.—Ono teaspoonful
of vinegar, in a pint of such water, will
antagonise all its ill effects on the bow
els of those, unaccustomed to it.
Dirty Water.—As much powdered
Minn as will rest; on a dime, stirred
in a pail of water, will clarify it in five
Minutes.
Saving Life.--In the first seven
months of the Crimean campaign, the
soldiers died at the rate of 60 out of a
100 per .annum, while for-the last five
months of the :var not so many sol
diers died of diseasi3 as at home, ow -
ing to:a more systematic and:rigid at
tention to five -things: Ist,'Selecting
healthful camps: 2d, Enforcing strict
cleanlineSs; 3d, Avoiding unnecessary
exposure; 4th, Proper preparation of
healthful food; sth, Judicious nursing.
Da' A true soldier is considered ono
of the highest types of a Man.'. But
that officer merits not the name or
the titid he bears; who does . not make
the comfort and health of his men a
subject of unceasing thought, and of
the most indefatigable:effort!
Camp- Grounds.— An elevation is a.
hundred fold better than a flat or 'a
hollow ; open ground, better than
among trees"; better for! health, safer
from surprise, and stronger for attack
and defense even if it - is calculated to
stay, but a few hours. Let -the tent
face the south,
the top screened With
bruShwood, and if practicable with a
floor of boards three inches above the
ground, and a ditch around the tent
six or eight inches deep.' • -
Its . .. Drinking water improperly has
killed thousands of soldiers. -If possi
ble, avoid drinking anything on a
march. If you must drink, the colder
the water the less will it satisfy thirst:
M. Half a glass of; water drank in
sips, swallowing each Sip, with a few
seconds interval, will more effectually
satisfy thirst, :and that without any
-danger, than a quart taken in the usu
al manner at one draught. It is great
ly safest, 'while marching; to rinse the
mouth only, but to do that to the at
most, extent desired, spirting out the
water as'seon as it becomes warm.—
Chewing even a stick or pibble Mode
rates thirst. .

Remarks by Mr. Epttiet
On the bill'providing for the payment of
the State Interest in notes issued by
the United States.
Mr. ETNIEIi said : Mr. Speaker,
weak as my ideas may be on the in
terest question, I cannot permit this
bill to pass without making a few re-
Marks.
Sir, in the year 1840; the time when
the law was passed requiring the irk
Wrest on the State debt to be paid in
thelegal currency of the United States
as provided in the third section ofthe
actwho at that time thought that
ON Government would now:be Strug
gling in a war against insurrection
and rebellion ? Little did the people
of 'Pennsylvania think in the year '4O,
that in the Yehr 1864 gold and silver
would command a premium of sixty
per cent?. Unforeseen - difficulties may
and do arise, and 'whilst 'this •is the
fhet, it is wise and just on the part of
the laW-Makirig power to pass such
ennetments as will meet the emergen
cies of the case. What can be. more
proper than that a great nation, in the
inidst of a crisis like the present, sleld
make essential ChangeS in her finan•
cial policy, to Meet the vastly chan
ged aspects of national affairs? A i few
years ago, gold and silver were on a
par With paper currency. Then it
mattered not whether the • interest on
the State debt was paid in'the one or
the other. But to pay that interest
in gold at this time, when gold is at a
premium of sixty per emit, would am
ount to about one million 'dollars per
year—a sum sa large that in a few
years it would rener the State of
Pennsylvania insolvent. .
Again, Mr. Speaker ; this enormous
amount would have to be raised out of
the pockets of the tax payers of Penti
sylvania; and should we ask the peo
ple of the State to sell greenbacks, the
currency of the United States; at a
discount of sixty per cent. to pay•En
glish bond holders—a people.who are
our enemies? • Such a course ..would
be unjust to Ourselves end to our con
stituents. It would be infinitely
"bet
ter to expend that amount for the en
efit of our soldiers in the field. Why
should we pay English bond holders
silver and gold, at a preinium • of GO
per cent. when the English nation" is
our foe—thuS enriching them, that
they may be enabled to build • vessels .
of war, and provide other means of
warfare, and put them' into the hands
of the rebels, to sow death and de
strection broadcast all over ow' land,
and if possible to upturn and destro
oar - gtortal s • ernmon • •or one;
feel bound to oppose any such sacri ,
five of interest on our part.
Sir, I ask the, question : at the time
when the old United States. Bank was
M existence, was not its paper taken
by Englan6l and France, in exchange
for imports? Was it not„ taken as
gold and silver? If, then, the curren
cy of the United States ; Barik waa ree:
ognized by foreignipnwers as well as
by our own people,as a, legal curren
cy, :svhy not. recognize the present
currency, issued by the same. Gover
nment, which declares that it' shall be
a legal tender for all &tits? -
sow, tar, viewing, the queStion in
the light in which I do,
I shall. vote
in favor of paying the State interest'
in the United States eurrency, which
is greenbacks. lam astonished that
the gentlemen on the other side of the.
House should advocate the payment
of our State interest in gold and silver
at this time, when no individohl cred
itor has a right to ask or can obtain
from his individual debtor. any such
money. The thing is. absurd: Why
shOld English bondho:ders, or why
should the bondholders of Pennsylva
nia ask more than is asked or 'expec
ted iri financial transactions: .bet Ween
man and man ? If w& 'obtain pay
ment of our dues in the currency of
the United States, what More have we
a right to ask ? Ws are always glad
to get that ctirrency. We cannot, we
dare not, attempt to enforce 'the pay-
Mont of our claims iu either gold or
silver. I task the questien, shall' we
do unto otherS more than wo do unto
ourselves? It is unreasonable to ex
pect any Such thing.
I de hope that this matter will not
be made a party issue, but that every
Vote . in this House Will . support' the
measure which is recommended by
the Governor of the Commonwealth—
the payment;Of our State interest in
United States. currency._
Libby Prison Richmond, Va.,' P . ov.
Penney, Speaker . of
the Senate of Pennsylvania-DEAR Slit
Considerations I shall briefly state'
make it prudent and proper for me to
tender my resignation as a member of
the Senate of Pennsylvania. After
the adjournment of our Legislature
last spring, I rejoined my regiment
and resumed my military duties in the
field. Upon the advance of Gen. Lee's
army, in June last; into the Shenan
doah Valley,' orb . his ; Pennsylvania
campaign, the forces with which I was .
connected wore ordered to ;Winchester,
and in the battle at that place I fell
into the bands of the enemy as a prig,-
°nor of war. With other Federal offi
cers I Wits immediately sent tor Rich
mond., and since the 23d of June have
remained as a prisoner in the "Libby." .
No general_ exchange of officers has ta
ken place in the meantime, nor does,
any appear to me in .early prospect.—
Shut.off for long months . from' friends
and the outer world, I have yet not
been entirely ignorant of passing
events.. The recent election in our.
State has, I learn, altered somewhat
from the last session the political com
plexion of our Senate. My absence, it
seems, gives to each political party re,
presented ' there equal . nutherkial.
strength. This.will, in all probability,
embarrass organizations, and delay'
necessary. legislation. I regret this
situation, and am unwilling my pre
sent personal misfortune should in any
way affect public interests, or inter
rupt for a moment that cordial co-op
eration ,between our. State and Nation
al Governments so necessary in , this;
crisis. It is true, some. time must yet
elapse before my presence in Ilarris
burg is actually required, yet as I--see

the difilculty.likely.tofresult from my"
continued imprisonment. I am sure
you will not doubt ins when confess
it would bo much more acceptable to
my tastes and feelings to spend the
months of the coming winter in active
legislation in our Senate, chamber;
tan.to languish within the gloomy
wails of a Southern . prison.
My present situation places tho less .
agreeable, alternative in prospect and
I see but one, solution to the difficulty;
other and greater interests are invol

comfort and private inclinations. My .
health, my life, are nothing to the
sutee , s of those great principlee I was
elected to.represent.
