The Kev. W, G-. Brown, hospitsl chaplain, has
written ft small book, published;by William S. &
Alfred Martien, Chestnutßtreel, entitled “The Army
Chaplain: His office, duties, responsibilities, and
the means of aiding him.” In limited compass, Mr.
Brown'first treats oi the hospital chaplain, and
{then of the regimental and post chaplain. This is a
practical little book ; never tedious, only Blightly
sermonizing, and very free from what is commonly
called cant. The author thoroughly understands not
merely the routine of his very responsible duties,
tut the on which they ought to be
undertaken and performed. It is very creditable to
us as a nation, that, while we pay, clothe, end feed
our soldiers better than any other people do, we also
provide them with better religious Instruction and
care. The British possessions are located on every
continent, but, at borne and in her numerous colo
nies, (India excepted,) her army chaplains l depart
ment includes only eighty-Jivc chaplainß. This for an
tumy which, including the volunteers and militia,
exceeds 600,000 men. Pennsylvania alone has more
army chaplains than are to be found In the British
Umpire!
11 Chaplain Fuller: being a Utfe Sketch of a New
England Clergyman and Army Chaplain,” Is the
somewhat roundabout title of a volume published’
’by Walker, Wise, Co., Boston. The author is
Richard B. Fuller,! brother of the Rev. Arthur
Buckminster Fuller, and, of Margaret Fuller, the
'■well-known authoress. Born in August, 1822, the
subject of this biography was a Unitarian minister,
able and highly educated, who quitted his congre
: gation, when the war broke out, to serve his country
-as chaplain of the 16th Regiment of Massachusetts
'Volunteers. His first Btation was at Fortress Mon
-roe, after which he served during the Peninsular
-campaign until the failure of. his health compelled
him to go back to Boston. When his strength was
recruited, he returned to duty, which again was too
much for him, and he was compelled to quit the
service from bad health. He was present at the
first attack on Fredericksburg, December 11, 1862,
as a volunteer, musket in hand, but fell, soon after
entering the town, pierced by two bullets. Mr,
Fuller was a true man, —loyal and brave,.religious
and devoted. His whole career, in the army,
showed him really to be a model chaplain, so liberal
and tolerant that the Catholic soldiers used volun
tarily go to hear him preach. His life was the finest
practical illustration of the principles laid down in
Mr. Brown’B excellent little book on the Office and
Calling of Army Chaplains. A portrait of Mr.
Fuller, engraved on steel, is suitably the frontis
piece of this very interesting volume. (Philadel

Mr. Van Nostrand, military publisher, New York,
has brought out, in 12m0., pp. 264, with 39 engra
vings on steel, a book of “ Instruotien of Heavy
Artillery; prepared by a Board of Officers, for the
use of the Army of the United States^ 1 It.has been
prepared under direction of the War Department,
and Mr. Stanton certifies that “having been ap
proved by the President, it is adapted for the in
struction of troops when acting as heavy artillery.”
(Philadelphia: John Pennington & Son.)
In connection with the art of war, we have to ac
knowledge (published by Mr. Van Noßtrand) two
small boxes, respectively entitled “ The Automaton
Company ; or, Infantry Soldiers’ Practical Instruc
tor, for all Company’s Movements in the Field
and “The Automaton Battery; or, Artillerists’
Practical Instructor, for all Mounted Artillery Ma
li ecuvies in the Field.” ' These simple, portable, and
intelligible practical instructors are constructed by
G. Douglas Brewerton, U. S. A., and ought to be of
great use in the army. (Philadelphia: J. B. Bippin

The Spotted Fever.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sib : An epidemic disease called Spotted Fever
prevailed extensively in many parts of New Eng
land, and in some parts of several other of the Ame
rican States, at different times between the years
1806 and 1816. A few cases of the disease occurred
At Medfleld, Massachusetts, about thirty miles from
Boßtoni in March, 1806. The number waß Bthall, not
exceeding twenty. In March and April 1807 it ap
peared in Hartford, Connecticut, and in several
places on the Connecticut river; also, in Williams
town, in the northwest'part of Massachusetts, and
the Green Mountain range. It disappeared during
the summer, but returned the following winter, visit,
ing, in some instances, the same places, besides many
others in their neighborhood and in similar situa
tions. The disease followed a similar course for
several succeeding years. It disappeared during
summer • and returned in winter, and for several
yearfl, until 1813, it became each year more extetiv
sive and more destructive. In some of theße years
it also prevailed extensively in the interior of the
States of New York and Pennsylvania. In 1812
the troops of the United States army suffered
severely by it at various places in New
York and Vermont. After 1813, the disease
rapidly diminished, although it still continued de
structive in some partß of Maine. It finally ceased in
the Bpring of 1816.. The last place visited by it as
far bb my information extends, was Berwick,
Maine. This concise sketch oi the progress'of the
epidemic shows that it prevailed much less in sum
mer than in winter. In fact, it was only during a
part of the colder season of the year, that it raged
most severely; it was much less frequent through the
autumn, and earlier part of the winter, than during
, the latter months of winter, and the first months of
* spring. This epidemic seemed scarcely to regard
peculiar susceptibilities. The man, whose consti
tution was exhausted by excesses, unavoidably
yielded more readily when attacked, and fell a more
f certain victim, than the man of temperate habits.
• But it does not appear that such were more fre
quently attacked than others. On the contrary, the
disease seemed rather to select the healthy and vig
orous. It attacked all classes of persons, from child
hood to old age, yet the proportion of cases and
deaths,was much greater among adults of mature age,
of firm health,and habits every way calculated to re
sist ordinary disease in manyan agricultural town in
New England. The correct, virtuous, and middle
\ aged heads of families were swept off in such num
bers as to leave a mournful vacancy in the
general aspect of community for many years. The
visitation was sudden, and therefore produced the
greater alarm and distress. In some instances the dis
ease visited a place twice, and even three times.
Dr. Gallup remarks of the epidemio in Vermont,
that there are but few towns whose surviving inha
bitants will not long with grief remember the win
ter of 1812 and 1813 for the loss of 20. 40, or 80 of their
most valuable citizens, moßt valuable to society on
account of their being in the prime of life. Of the
causes of Spotted Fever no satisfactory account can
be given. There was nothing in the habits of the
disease, or the manner in which it proceeded from
place to place to countenance the theory of conta
gion, There were two leading forms of the disease ;
one was a simple fever of a peculiar character, the
other was complicated by local inflamation, but it
' still retained the same general character as theother.
The more'simple form began, like most other fevers,
with coldness; most generally with distinct shivering
pain in . the head and back, and . especially in the
limbs, prostration of strength, &c. In the milder
cases this was followed, as in other fevers, with
some degree of reaction, manifested by heat, and
afterward by sweating, but unless aided by proper
remedies, the reaction was very imperfect; the cold
mess soon returned, with a peculiar want of action
over the whole system,
, The surface of the body lost its peculiar elasticity,
and had in its stead a torpid, halt-axlematous,
doughy feeling. Near the close of life it was covered
with a profuse perspiration. The stomach early
become irritable, and rejected whatever waß put
into it, though without much vomiting of anything
else. The prostration increased, and was accom
panied by violent pains in the back or limbs, which •
frequently changed from place to place, but without
spasms of any kind. In many cases, delirum came
on very early. In most instances, as the strength of
the patient failed, the mind became obscured, and
be died comatose. In the more severe form or the
disease, this comatose state followed the first attack,
without any-intervention of a stage of reaction.
The patient became insensible, and died in a few
hours. It was generally In this severe form that the
spots, or petechire, appeared, which gave the name
of spotted fever to the epidemic. They were not,
however, confined to the more violent, or to the
fatal cases, but were occasionally found in the com
paratively mild. "When they did appear, the spots
were generally small blotches, oaused oy blood extra
vasated into thfe cellular membrane under the skin, of
a dark purple color. 'About the beginning of the year
1612, the spottedfever began to assumeanewformin
many cases, by becoming complicated with some
local inflamation; this was sometimes'in the throat,
producing a species of cynanche, but its more com
mon seat was in some one of the textures of the
lungs. The fever, however, still retained the same
* general character as before. There were many other
varieties in the modifications-of the spotted fever,
and it assumed a greater diversity of forms and ap
pearances than most diseases.* In whatever form it
appeared, however, it exhibited the same general
character of great prostration and debility. Only a
a few examinations after death were made. The
blood was found to remain fluid for some hours after
death. It consequently flowed to the depending
parts, giving a dark color to the skin in those-parts,
which was often mistaken by careless observers for
putrefaction. But putrefaction did not begin early
after death. The vessels of the brain, as might be.
from the comatose state which preceded
most of the deathß, were found to be turgid with
blood, and there was more or lese effusion of serum
into the ventricles, and sometimes of lymph under
the arachnoid. In the chest, the heart sometimes
exhibited marks of disease, its vessels being pecu
liarlv iDjected with blood. The Jungs, in the cases
of simple spotted fever, healthy. The ab
dominal viscera were generally healthy.vgiThe gall
bladder, and the urinary bladder were ailed with
their appropriate fluids, showing- that- secretions
had been carried on until after death. The practice
which had been previously applied to ordinary fevers
Was so entirely unsuccessful in the treatment of
spotted fever that many of the practitioners seem
early to have lost allconfidenceffeotonlyinsucha
course of practice, but also in the resources of pro
fessional skill and science, and, for a time, to have
abandoned themselves and. their patients to empi
rical experiments. A respectable writer gives the
credit to a worthy matron of the first discovery of a
successful treatment. This consisted in exciting a
profuse perspiration by drinking a decoction of the
leaves and twigs of .the ground hemlock or dwarf'
yew, aided by a rude vapor bath made by boiling
billets of wood and laying them, wrapped in cloths,
in bed with the patient, who was at the BAme time
jkept highly stimulated with brandy and other diffu
•sable stimulants. But the more judicious and sci
entific part of the profession were not long in adapt
• ing their treatment to the true state of the disease.
| Adopting a hint from the empirical sweating and
i stimulating, which soon became common, they were
were able to pursue a course of diaphoretics and
..stimulants, which, while avoiding the dangers of
.empirical excesses, was eminently’successful in
arresting the fatal tendency of the disease. The
history of the spotted fever is truly appalling! In
the usual antiphogistic treatment, almost allwho
-were attacked fell victims to the disease; and so
vteriifio had this fell destroyer become that all
, Stood aghast! It is acknowledged that the physi
cian abandoned his patient in despair; that he blbo
lost all confidence in the science of medicine, until
an aged matron discovered the means of arresting
the direful march of death. She a dopted the itimu
gating and diaphoretic practice. -

A YER’S PILLS.—ARE YOU SICK,
FEEBLE, AND COMPLAINING? Are vou out of
order, with yonr syßtem deranged and your feeliiigs un
comfortable? These symptoms , are often the prelude to
serious illness. Sonie fit of sickness is creepiug upon
you, and should be averted by a timely use or the rigid
remedy. Take A-YER’S PILLS, aud cleanse out the atß
ordered hn.mors—purify the blood, and let the fluids
move on unobstructed in health again. They stimulate
the functions bf the body into vigorous activity, purify
the system from the. obstructions which make disease.
A cold settles somewhere in the body, and obstructs its
natural functions. These, if ,not relieved," react upon
tbemselvee and the surrounding organa, producing gene
ral aggravation, suffering, and disease. While in this
condition, .oppressed by the derangements, take AYER’S
PILLS, and see how directly they restore the natural
action of the system, and with it the buoyant feeling of
health again. What is true and 00 apparent in this tri
vial and common complaint, is also true in many of the
deep-se?£ed and dangerous distempers. The same pur
gative effect expels them. Caused by similar obstruc
tions and derangements of the natural functions of the
body, they are rapidly and many of them surely, cured
by tbe same nreans. None who-know the. virtues of
these Pills will neglect to employ them when suffering
from the disorders they cure, such as Headache, Foal
Btomach, Dysentery. Bilious Complaints, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Liver, Costiveness, or Constipation.
As a Dinner Pill they are both agreeable and effectual.

T>KAI) THE F®LLOW<STH CARE
-AA FULLY. —At the close of a Course of Lectures, de
livered to us. Members of one of the many Classes of
PROF. C. H. BOLLES, who has been developing his dis
covery for nearly four year*, at 1440 WALNUT Street,
in the City of Philadelphia, in the application of GAL
VANISM. MAGNETISM, and'other modifications of
ELECTRICITY, the following resolutions were unani
mously passed:
Resolved, That, as we have been eye witnesses for
many weeks la the Institution of Prof. Bolles, and have
good reason to believe that he has discovered new prin
ciples in the application of the different modifications of
Electricity to the various diseased conditions of the hu
man «ystem; and that, in the treatment of different dis
eases, we have been convinced that, in his band, as also
his Students, the application of Electricity is a reliable
therapeutic; and that he has taught us a new, rational,
and scientific Philosophy, and we believe the only re*
liable theory of disease and mode of cure.
Resolved , That, in our judgment, the philosophy ad
vanced, and so clearly: demonstrated in the Coarse of
Lectures, is entirely new and original with Prof. Bolles,
and.not known to the Medical Profession, and that the
great success which has attended his practice in this city
is alone the result of his scientific discovery of Electrical
laws hitherto unknown to man, and'that the many
failures of ©tber.men in this city usiug this mighty agent
is their ignorance of the true principles of Electricity
Resolved, That-we, in duty to suffering humanity, and
for the great progress of the human race in approxi
mating toacondition of health and happiness; commend
the Professor and his theory and to ,the public,
and bid him God speedy as we believe his great-mission
is one of benevolence and morcy, and calculated to
benefit humanity in the only scientific and reliable way
to a final restoration of health and physical happiness.
Resolwd, That we tender to Prof. Bolles our thanks
for his lucid instruction and kind attention to us, indivi
dually and as a c.lass; _ that Inf has redeemed every
pledge or assurance made by him, and that in parting
from him he has our best wishes for his happiness and
prosperity, and we heartily commend him to all scienti
fic investigators, and also to .the dheased of body or
mind. • V;
.Also, Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be signed by each member or the class, and published in
the city papers.

The undersigned has been authorized to offer for sale
atpar the First Mortgage Six PeriCenfc. STEUBENVILLE
BRIDGE BONDS of the Holliday’s ChVe Railroad Com
pany, amounting to Throe Hundred Thousaud Dollars,
(SSCO,DGO,)‘ issued to J. Edgar Thomson, Trustee, under
an Act of Assembly of the Slate of Virginia, antborizing
the construction of a Railroad Bridge across the Ohio
river at Steubenville, confirmed by an act of Congress,
approved Jnly-14, 1862.
These bonds areforone thousand dollars Cftl.OOd) each,
seeuved by a mortgage on tne property and franchises of
the Company, and redeemable oh the first day of Febru
ary, 1893. The coupons attached are -payable on. the
first day of February and of August in* 4 each and every
year, at the office ot tho Pennsylvania Railroad Compa
ny, in the city of Philadelphia, and the principal there
of at the Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank in the said city,
at maturity.. -
- This Railroad Bridge is now being constructed in the
best manner with stone piers and abutments, and iron
superstructure, after a plan prepared by J. H. LinvlUe,
civil engineer and approved by J.- Edgar Thomson,
President of thePenusylvai ia Railroifd Company.'-
This bridge, when completed, will firm part of a
through line from: Pittsburg to Cincinnati,.under one
management, twenty-nine miles shorterithan any other
route, and .fifty-eight mlleß shorter thau'-the present
route, via Crestline. It is expected that the line will be
ready for business throughout its whole extent by July 1,
: 1864, and it must 'eventually become the’great through
route. for both passengers and -freight 'to and from the
South and Southwest. '
The Tolls that will be charged by the said company
under its charter, for the use of this bridgeware specifi
cally, pledged to the payment of the interest on the bonds,
and twenty-per cent.', per annum of the earnings,' after
payment of interest and such expenses as may be neces
sary to asinking fund for the redemption of the princi
pal^of the bonds at maturity. *
The amount of traffic passing ovdr-this bridge will
yield, under a-limtted’ estimate, a fund amply sufficient
to provide for the interest and the necessary, accumula
tion for a sinking fund, to provide for .the principal of
the bonds before they mature. Tho bonds are, there
fore, recommended as a first-class security. - -
