We were varv touch crowded, the men being packed like crackers, (as close as they could be without br*king,) and no allowance made for fat men. But when soldiers travel they cannot choose their mode of conveyance. We had a rough passage, and the bowels of a number became ! like the mighty deep, agitated. 1 could see at any time a number of persons with their ! heads over the railing, mouths open, throw I iug up their government rations—the uniy j consolation being an after thought of that good old song, "and would I were in Dixie?" It was amusing to see the boys turn into their bunks, stowed away as tight as they could be packed, no room allowed for kicking, but not one grumbled ; we only thought of the cause that compelled us to be in such a plight, and vowed that if it lay in our power, Seeesh should be crowded worse than we were, and for every time the ship heaved we would heave an extra lead pill at them. Before entering Port Uoyal we were spoken by ons of ths government gun boats; they eruise around the entrance of the harbor in all directions. The harbor is a fine one, but at the entrance there is a dangsroue shoal cal led Martin's Industry. I think Mr. Martin, if he was industrious, was not wise, or be in tended to torn wrecker, and the more vessels destroyed the more he tp*d % if this was his : intention, he made a good job of it. We lay •ff Hilton Head 24 hours awaiting ordere. Hilton Head is a large island : I cannot state the size, not being able to gain much infer motion in regard to its dimensions. The government is doing a great deal of work here, building f rtifications. workshops, stables, storehous s. hospitals, 4c., with the intention of making this the southern depot; they have built a long dock for the vessels to receive and discharge cargo ; the dock is not nstr long enough, the beach gradually eloping off, I so that vessels of heavy draught have to lay off and discharge in lighters, surf boats 4c A dock is about to be erected which will en able vessels to discharge at flood tide, 1 should • think the channel is about 1000 feet from the j shore, and judging from the way the men are working at th# ilpplj, upe hail of them will not live long enough to see the balk head; if the same hands stay at it. they will ' live and die in Pixie." There were but fow buildings on Hilton Head built by Seeesh, but those were good. There were not uiany southern i soldiers here, but they had the best of quar- ! trre—much better than those furnished hv ; "ur government to us, and from all I eould hear must have been used in the best manner. ; I heir quarters were good wooden buildings, with comfortable eleeping apartments, and ali ' tilings taken, went to show that they were not furnished by northern speculators. Their ! fortifications were built of sand, and weut te i show that they had good engineers, but they j had no covering for the gunners, and it made ; it better for us, as there was a splendid chance i to shell them. I should like to have had an opportunity to g over the island, but this was imp iseible. We were taken from the Cosmopolitan on a small steam b >at. B\y Point, where the reb els had erected another largesar.d fortification, and had it mounted with heavy guns, nine in i number, but. as on Hilton Head, the gunners were exposed, and I eing like other man, com posed of flesh and blood, they were not shell proof, and being of a nervous tempe auient. could not stand the shock—so ti;y .eft on a double quick—copied from t e 3u . il.tn is.C tics, \\ bile at lldton Head, I saw our Pen-r.a I regiment "f L >uavos, who refused the Liar per's Ferry muskets, when earing Fortress Monroe. They are now dr. ing ia the oid style of tactics, with the unarmed Laborers' Regiment, and are shouldering shovels and stacking wheelbarrows, and making them selves generally useful. Some Lav* iur;:ii sailors and row small I oats up'cading vessels, carrying officers on their hacks from the beach to the small bests. When the boat is j loaded, they with i;no accord courageously dash their oars if) tbe wa'er. r.s did the Lady of tbe Lake when paddling In her light cr. • nae. Others have beqc .promoted and are in trusted with a government carriage, and like mvny sporting men, drive four n hand, bit | for of hurting their horses .rive only en a w&ik. Being of an obligh g disposition j they carry all kinds of merchandise and mt j nito.ns of war tu the store house or wherever commanded. "Who wou'd not be a soger and do his country service." At Bay Point our regiment being considered trustworthy, we were detailed to protect the Islands that the seccsh were driven from, consequently we were divided; three companies at Otter Island; two on an Island above Otter, I for get the name of it; four companies on Port | Royal Island, and one company divided be- j t*ren Ladies and St Llslegia Islapd. We are ail kcoy. 1,1 to ke honest and gentlemanly and ; have been sent here to guard government (captured) property, and protest the cotton interest Where the cotton is stored at the landings we have a guard established both I night and day for fear of its being burnt, and also a part of our duty is to keep the colored I .individuals straight, who if left a]one, would j .be like tbe Kilkenny cats, eating one another. When the Southerners first Jaft these Island* the Nigs broke open the houses of the plan ters. destroyed the furuitgre, took what they wanted, and what they could not ese they de stroyed ; broke open every thing that was lock ed up, and acted as if they w*re bereft of reason ; rode the horses g* if the Old Nick sent for them, kil.led she eattie and sheep, and : when we came here destruction met our eyes on every aid*; books of the most renowned authors laying strewn all over the floors like chaff in a barn yard, looking glasses broken, . piaoes of tbe most costly pries completely de stroyed. and carpets taken from the floors and cut up ameng them. And when we first came here, and asked by whom this was done, we were told that the first Yankee sogers that cym* dons it. At first ws believed it, but now every day are mere fully convinced that the .iisgrsp.e of yhie affair rests solely on the Negroes. For they will fight over some little trifle and when beat, he or she will come for the whiUa ibgere to settft the dispute then ensues a lgughable dialogue. One will ac cuse the ojber of qtsah'ngr and so it goes un til we find but that they all stole. I hßve witnessed many an affair of tbis kind and have seen costly .table"and piano covers, also cjothes," that'hava been cut to pieces and so badly destroyed during their wrangle of the first two or three days, that tbey are of no service to any one. And all is laid to the first sogers, and when we leave, if tbey are asked by any one site, who done it, will be told tbe 45th Pa. Reg't. I am sorry for one that I have been here at all. When this war is ended all these little things will be made knnwn. and we will be accused of stealing. — j When I was at home I was of the opinion that these Negroes should be immediately freed, but since I came here I have been taught by experience that to free them in the state thsv are in n*.tw wouid be the greatest curse that ever befe! them. If left to themselves, thev j would not work, but wouid eat up ail to day j and starve to morrow. I think they have been better need by their masters thsn tbev will be by Northern men Thv must have their Negro driver, who is always a colored | individual, and be their master, as they must j be driven to their labor, and like a horse fed ! and watered; and as tbey have nu shame or ambition about them their only puniahment must be the lash. If I was Uncle Satu I wouid advertise this property, and if net claimed within a short time, wouid lease the land, Niggera and all, to the highest bidder ; make the leasee feed, clothe and take care of them, pay them a little money to eneour age them to work, establish schools fr the young, and try and educate them. If this 1 can ever be accomplished, then it will be time enough to liberate tiietn. You must not think that by the manner in which I write that I am in favor of slavery as an institution or the buying or selling of human beings. | No, only hold them iu bondage long enough ! to educate the rising generatiun, so that their example may improve next—" Fur the sins of the fathers are visited on the children < ven to the third and fourth generations." I think this applies to ignorance also, and we must now try and sea if education is to be classed under the same head. These Dar key# show no desire to learn, nor anv inge nuity, and it is almost impossible to drive an idea through their thick skulls. The man ner in which they have been brought UD has leaded to make them strong and healthy. They are the most robust, and physically speaking, the fineet class of people I have ever seen—the muscle fully developed—and as for age, they are like a mule, never ready I to die. There are many great grandfathers i and great grandmothers on these Islands, a!! ■ happy, fat, dirty and fiaqcj, and now say they : are glad the Yankees are hers, and if" their j masters would come hack I know they would say the same thing; some begin t> say so i already. They have their nigger balls on | some of the plantations almost every night, 1 with a fiddle, and the way they will make their heels and t work is a caution to all sickly white ladies and gentlemen. They j wiil dance longer and with as much spirit as some ef our town belles and with more grace. I had thought their dances were only some kind of hideous figures, but was much sur- j prissd to see one evening at a ball I attended, all the fancy dances introduced, and the ease 1 with which they went through the cotillion, Ac., was surprisiug. They also sing all the most popular negro melodies, have good voices and ears for music, and a number cf I them are good musicians. Sundays they i bare their church meetings, when the oid plantation minister administers spiritual ad vice to the entire congregation, all of whom sing, and excell any white congregation I have ever heard, (I mean where the congre gation of whites all sing.) Ido not compare them to one of cur church choirs that are I composed only of musicians. Then they pray, shout am} pray agr.ip, then shout, und feel goo i generally, and when ui j aro tired, go on their way rejoicing. The negroes are very fond of display, and some of them, on extra occasions, dress in the most approved man ner. They stick on every gaudy thing they can find. Many of them, if they told the truth, w.mld say that ti-e clothes represented M;wsa and Missus, as judging from appear ances, some lady's wardrobe pp* suffered. 'i i.esp Islands are as level * a floor, and of nil sixes and share# ; t ie soil is s'nndv, cany worked and w<-. adapted fr rhe cultivation i f r, :u ist every tl.i.g that w;l! grow fr m : seed or root, and by nature the l'aradi#e for . c.'i't. n, which is of the finest qualify, and f manured will yield an adundant Harvest. Coitcu and niggers arc tie staple products. The g-uund is ti — t pi >ugh'd and m inured a little, then the seed planted, then tiic negroes come in with 'he r hoes and keep, the ground loose, keep out all weeds, and before tko bush b ids they have the bids worked up ub ut twelve inches high, the row# of hi'is being about thirty six inches from the centres, so as t > allow a path to waik through. Some of the buds ripen and bum sooner than oth- j er, and these first ones are finer and what is t called the first pickings. The rest is a little coarser, ami all that is staliitd is picked out an 1 constitutes wk*.t is called the yellow. I have often heard tell of the balmy South, bat did not think it was such a fine place.— j The ciiuiate is delightful, resembling the iat- | ter part of September, er first of October with , us ; in '.bs middle of the day the flies wiil bother you as bad a# they do in midsummer North. The trees are green, snd cattle are out at pasture all winter. There is no grass of any account, the ground being used for the cultivation of cotton and corn, the latter only for home consumption ; this eorn is white, hard and sweet, and is caiied flint corn, make# good bread, .and is very nourishing. The only potatoa that I hare seen is the j sweet or Carolina. Our potatoes, the darki s say, they sometimes plant, but they will not keep. The cattle aad horses are fed on peas, corn, cotton seed, and corn blades, picked while green before the ear is fully ripened, dried, then put in small bundles ; the stalk and busk are left in the field, and the ear put in the crib for use. The cattle are generally smaller than our Northern stock. The hor- ; see are most all small, of the mustang breed, ' tough, and will endure a great amount of fa tigue. They are never 6hod, the soil being j so sandy as to need no shoes. Most of the j horses are broken to the saddle enly. None of them are trotters, but will run like a deer. ; The drives are most splendid. Sometimes you will be riding through the pine groves, then an open space, then the cedar, then the palmetto, (South Carolina's pride,) and the avenue shaded with the tree tops meeting, I and festooned in all shapes imaginable.— Some of our northern country gentlemen, if they could only get some of these drives on their farms, would give almost any price. The buildings, with but few exceptions, are very poor and cheap ; the style of architect ure is of the composite order, composed of disorder, without regard to dimensions. — Everything denotes the Southerners' lack of j energy and taste for ease and comfort, show iog plainly " So let the world jog along as it will, I'll be free AND easy still." NOBS of the planters staid here through the sum mer, it being considered too unhealthy ; this was only their winter resort. In all their I houses we find good libraries; a majority of the works are French, some German, a few Latin works, and in all/ Congressional Reports, speeches of Calhoun. Fuller's ser mons, and a large number of religious works. Our men are scattered all over these Is lands, and have the best of quarters ; we stay in the houses of the wealthy planters, and live on the fat of the land. When we want a sheep, we kill it; when n beef, kill it; and as for small game, such as birds and squirrels, we have them whenever we choose to shoot thetn. It is not costing the government much to keep as; all we draw is a little floor, su gar, coffee, Ac., as we live on corn bread or as the darkies say. hoe cake, and sweet pota toes. We have plenty of guard dutv to do, but otherwise very easy, but I would rather lire in a rag house with government rations, and in marching bear a soldier's fatigues, if I could only do what I started from home to d o. fight. Camp life is monotonous enough, but this guard duty is worse. I want to have • little brash with the enemy, and smell a little gunpowder now. There is heavy firing aear u# somewhere ; we have beard the can non talking for the last two or three days. We do not know where it is, or with what success our forces have met. Oh! I would willingly give one year's pay to see such a good fight, but here I am on St. Helena Is land. where you never hear anv news, see a newspaper, or anything of the kind. We snow no more of what is going on around us than the negroes do. But with them 'lg norance is b!:#s." Not so wiih me. Mv kingdom for a newspaper, and a fight. JACOB C.

S. Woods, did. in his charge to the Grand Jury, bring distinctly tQ their notice their duties in regard to the frequent violations of the liquor law, and declared it to 1 be bis firm determination to withhold license from all persons found guilty of this misde meanor: And whereas the said Grand Jury, i after a careful investigation, did promptly present all such offenders, and in doing so have conferred a great benefit upon cur com- ' munity; therefore, be it Resolved, That the thanks of this Associ ! ation are hereby tendered to Judge Woods for the noble and praieeworthy stand he has tak ; en in this matter; and also to the Grand Jury, who so faithfully and thoroughly performed the responsible duties devolving upon them. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to sus tain all such efforts for the suppression of the great curse of intemperance; that we will use every endeavor to discover those who trans- i gress the law of the State respecting the ven ding of liquors, and having made the discov ery, to bring them to justice ; and that we will also aim to discountenance the sale of in toxicating drinks, under any circumstances whatever, excepting for medicinal purposes. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Judge Woods, to the foreman of ; the Grand Jury, and that thoy be published in the papers of the county. JOHN LEITHEAD, J. C.

"Hall's Journal of Health" says:— There aro some general principles of cure applicable to all, and which seldom fail of high advantage. 1. The entire body should be washed onee a week with soap, hot water and a stiff brush. Wear woolen next the skin the year round, during the daytime only. 3. By means of ripe fruit, berries and coarse food, keep the bowels acting freely once in twenty-four hours. 4. Under all oircumstanccs, keep the feet clean and warm. 5. It is the most indispensable to hare the fullest pleaty of sound, regular, con nected and refreshing sleep, in a clean, light, well-aired chamber, with windows facing the sun. 6. Spend two or three hours ot every forenoon and one or twoef every afternoon, rain or shine, in the open air, jn some or .™ interesting ezhilirstiag and un wearying exercise. Walking with a cheer ful and entertaining companion is the very best. 7. Eat at regular times, and always slowly. 8. That food is best for each which is most relished, and is followed by the least discomfort. What has benefitted or in jured one is no rale for another. This eighth item is of universal application. 9. Take but a teacupful of any kind of drink at one meal, and let that not be hot. 10. Confine yourself to coarse bread of corn, rye or wheat—to ripe, fresh, perfect fruits end berries id their natural state— *• ■ and V) fresh, lean meata. boiled or roasted, as meat easier of digestion than vegeta bles Milk, gravies, pastries, heavy hot bread, farinaa, starches and greasy food in general, aggravate dyspepsia by their con stipating tendenciea. 11.
