It h:u!d bo stated that it u rarely that
a boy under eighteen is accepted into tor-
ice by a prudent Surgeon, by far the lar
ger number of mich being too tliminutivo
aud immature. It frequently happens
that a man ovo forty-five makes dti availa
blosubstituto,but his acceptability dojicnds
upon a variety of circumstauees aud cannot
bo absolutely determined until tho uiau is
offered. It is useless In any case to offer
n man as a substitute who is ovor fifty.
Substitutes aro not allowed furloughs
aftor enlisting. This rotnark applies to
volunieer recruits as well, Men deter
mining to enlist oitber as substitutes of re
cruits should mako all their arrangements

Shot the Wko.mj Mas. An incident
ueourrcd iu Memphis tho other day the
circumstances of which are so novel that
we cuniiot refrain from rofrrring to it. A
gentleman was parsing along Main street,
vrhon he was rushed upon by another man
and'.shot iu the right brcart,the ball find
ing lodgment in bis body. Just after fir
lap, tho man who did the ratb deed din
covorcd that he bad hhot tho wrong man.
Ho, of course, immediately apologised
for his mi stake, but an apology would
neither Mnuuch the blood nor relievo tho
p-iiu cnumd by tbo wound, and was, there
fote, a waMo of time. Not much satisfao
tion, an ajiology to a man who has been
-shot, The individual with the uiaiuia lor
shooting at random proceeded to explain
his rca-ons (or wifihinij to take tho life -not
of the man ho had wounded, but "an
other man" am! apprnlrd lo the acfJcter
by his mislsko and rashness, whether
under tho eirciiutsta.-.oes ho onuld be
blamed. What tho wounded gentleman
replied ivo are not advicci. We havo not,
a yet, learned the names of tho parlies
lior any further particulars.
I'ulM) WsiimuNO We don't believe in
healing children for ordinary offences.
There may bo cases, (but if no, they aro
extremely raro,) in which it is necessary
,to iufltot corporal lutiichnient ujion tbo
young; but to whip any child habitually
is to harden it beyond hopa to render it
irrcolalmably dbdur-tO. Wo recollect
reading, several years ago, an aeouuttt of
a. little girl who had run away frdm tohool,
Haying been taken back by her father,
bruised and blooding from a tcraiblo cas
ligation, nud ro-delivered into tho cu.tody
of tho teacher with the affeolionulo romark,
that "sure it wasn't for tbo want of plen
ty of bating that i-bc was so bad. ' 'J ho
little crcaturojfunous with rage and shame,
ran away again within au hour,and threw
herself into a pond, from which r ho was
with difficulty rescued alive. Combo, in
ono of his wotks, mentioned tho ease of a
family iu which all the children were vic
ious, nud guve their father, who was a
loacou in the church, if we rcmembor
rightly, an immense deal of troublo. The
old man tried to remedy tho evil in two
ways ho prayed heartily far tho reform
of tho misguided youngsters, and ho
thrashed them tremendously and frequent
ly. "If after that it pleased Heaven to
mako thotrt vessels of wrath," ho suid,
"Heaven's will bo elouo." Thoy wire
vessels of wrath, but it does not follow
that heaven iuteuded them to be. If he
had reasoned with thorn, and given them
good religious counsel troatoJ. them, in
shoii, like beings endowed with souls in
i-tcad of bruising their flesh lbo occult
might have been d- fercnt. Wiokednoss
is seldom beaten oi2 of anybody, but is
oftcnor beaten thejicr in.
We lovo ourselves notwithstanding our
faults, and wo ought to love our friouds in

cupy a small ep ico in your valuable pa
per for the purpose of treating a few in
stances in regard to our company.
Knowing our friends are always anxioui
to hear from us, I will stato to them as
near as I can our situation. On tho 30th
of November last we oamo to .Meads Sta
tion, about two miles cast of Petersburg
and pitched tents, and as you doubtless
havo hoard hiiicc, build winter quaitors,
which wo continuo to occupy. Tho boys
havo passed tho winter very pleasant
and rapidly. Although wo lament tho
death of five of our bravo comrades, wo
are heppy to say that tho remainder aro
enjoying pretty good health, and aro joy
ful over tbo news from Sherman. To-day
there was a itapatcb. read to us, stating
the eapturo of Columbia nnd tho ovaoui
tion of Charleston. Tho Hoys gavo three
hearty cheers for tho news and said in tho
namo of C!od they hoped ii was so, and
that the time was not far distant when
peaco and happiness would once moro
reign tuprorao throughout the land.
Tho patriotic ladies of Bloorasburj siavc

Camp in front of Petersburg, Vn.,1
Monday, February 2;, I860. J
Dn.ui DuMociiAT :
Our regiment, as you aro doubtless
aware, participated conspicuously in
the late engagement at Hatcher's Run.
Wo left our camp, near Petersburg, on Sun
day morning tho 5th inst., and marched
some nix or eight miles, when we wcro
drawn up in lino of battle, and charged
through a thick woods aud ewampy land,
to Hatcher's run, a stroani of water which
irapcaded our progress, Sowo of our men
attempted to wade or swim aoross, souio
of whom in tho attempt come near drown
ing. Trees wcro soon thrown across tho
stream, which aided us in crossing. Tho
enemy had thrown up breast works on
tho bank of tho Btrcatn, which protcotcd
them from our hot fire, Tho ehargo our
regiment mado on tho Rebols hero was
bold, bravo and I doubt not unccjualcd in
tho history of tho War. We took some
prisoners, tho number I did not learn.
Aftor a short rest, we resumed our march
which was continued up to about 8 o'clock
on Monday. About 3 o'clock tho ball
npeiicd in earnest, our regiment at oach
volley, advauced on tho Rebels. I don't
think this large army contains a belter
commander than our gallaut Colonol,
VjLT,iAM Seuuent. During tho ongag-
incut, ho rodo his horse ahoad of his men,
wavoiug his hat nnd sword, cheering aud
encouragiug all on to duty aud viotory.

Small Po:r.
This loathsomo disease t"-0Yaila in Penn
sylvania to a considerable cxtoiu ot tbo
present time hundreds of deaths havinjf
occurred therefrom. Tho public safety,
therefore, demands tho prompt adoption
of sanitary measures with a view to arrest
tbo spread of tho discaso aud prevent its
assuming an epidemic form. Tho people
should nt onco take action in tbo maltor.
Though lbo disease itself is, unfortun
ately, too familiar, by namo at least,there
is yet a general ignoranco about its origin
nud nature. lis medical namo is variola,
derived from tho latin varus, a blotch or
pimple, whtlo the popular affix ''pos." is
the Saxton for a bag pouch o that small
pox literally means a Email bag.
The discn&Q is believed to havo first ap
peared in Arabia iu A. D-, 508, about the
timo of the birth of .Mohammed ; and on
Abyssinian army wbioh afterwards be
sieged Mecca was obliged to raiso thosicgo
in conscqucnco of its ravages. Arabian
phyeioians of tho tenth century wrote about
tho disease, and various wiitcrs discussed
it during tho following centuries, though
Boerhavo was necessary to its propaga
tion. After a victim onco catches tho small
pox a period usually of about fourteen
days elapses before it manifests itself by
tho initiary fever, and in tho meantime tho
individual it in his ordinary health. Paino
in tbo back, nausea and vomiting are
symptoms ; and on tho third day of tho
fever tho eruption begins lo tbow itself,
iud in two days is oomplelo, no nowepots
appoaring j but those which havo already
appeared suffer various changes in matter
and hue. On tho eighth day of the erup
tion a dark epot makca its appearanoo in
tho centre of tho puitulc, which dries up
and is convcrtod into n scab ; and theso
scabs falling off lcavo on tho lace and body
those pitted depressions which often re
main for lifo timo.
The email pos is justly a "loath
somo .disease." jwuca its unpleasant
features jt alluded lo, it is accompanied
by an offensivo odor, mortifying to tho
patient onJ excessively disagrooablo to
tbrsid who may attend him. The small
pox is, however, not a lingering disease,
its focona week usually proving fatal,
while it soldom laeU over three weeks
Tho average mortality of small pox, how
ever, ie not so great as is generally sup
posed, being about thirty per cent, of all
who aro attacked.
In ancient times tho small-pox was in
deed a pcstilcnoo to bo foarod ; but now,
thanks to modern eoienco, its ravages arc
groatly reducod, and did people uso prud
ence it would bo practioally extinct.
Thnukslo tho blessed discovery of vacoi
nation ; no mm, woman or child need
havo tho small-pox. Dr. Edward .Icnvnr
to whom tho people of England erected
a statue now 6ianding in Trafalgar Square,
Londou first practiced this in 1703.
Vaccination is giving a person a trifling
temporary disoaso to save him from a dan
gerous ono giving him tho cow-pox to
savo him from the small-pox. Tho virus
taken from a cow is placed iu contact with
tho denuded dirmis or true skin of tho
patient; und this reached by scratching
tho arm with a lancet. Au uneasy sense
tion, a dull sickness, is felt for a day or
two, and that is all, and for b'ix or seven
years tho patient is insured against small
pox, Tho mattor of small pox impregnates
tho air immediately around tho person or
bedding of tho patont j and any unvao
cinatod individual or ono who has not had
the small pox, who comes within ten feet
of suoh person or tho bedding, is very sur
to be attaokod with small pox, and have
tho pimples to appear within a fortnight.
In some casos vaccination wears out and
censes to bo a protection against Email
pox, aud cxposuro to it gives varioloid.
Tho loDgcr a porson remains from small
pox aftor vaccination, lbo inoro sevcro tho
attaok will be if it is taken at nil. Many
vaccinated in infancy are most likoly to
havo varioloid betwoeu tho ages of 6ix
tcon and twenty-live, iuia ucmg so, a
most important practical iufercuco is to
be drawn, thai tho occurrence of puberty
Km ntWttiiu i.Hi.iifcmw--.. - iiiiijm..jmiu.ijimia.. mm. ..wn. m ,n urn . . i. .
iu somo way diminishes tho power of vac
cination against infection henco it be
comes the iniporativq duly of every pa
rent to bavo the child vaccinated on en
tering the fifteenth year; It it doos not
take, no harm has been done ; It it docs
take, the chnnccs of an odious and fearful
discaso havo been with great certainty re
moved. This re-vaccinition should bo re
peated at twenty-fivo, especially if that of
fifteen did not tako. In order lo fix upon
tho reader's mind a strong aud olear idsa
of ibo valuo and necessity of a re-vaticination,
a single fact will bo stated. Tho
Prussian Government, moio than any
other, enforces vaocinatioti and rcvaccin
ation. In J837, of forty-seven thousand
revaceinated, the full eft'oct took place in
twenty ono thousand ; and these last, al
though tho small pox prevailed all over

An Indian Love Story.
In Gen. Scott'e secGUtly publishod auto
biography, among his experionoes in tho
Black Hawk warj occurs tho following ro-
monlic ojisodo :
Tho summons for tho conference was
now given to all tho tribes and oboycd,aud
tho grand councils of war for tho settle
ment of tho treaties commenced. While
thetc wcro rending, a demand oamo up,
from ojudgo of Illinois, eome sixty miles
below, for an Indian murderer, his namo
unknown, but who had been distinctly
traced to tbo camp of tho great body of
Sacs nnd Foxes, whom tho ohiefs con
trived to hold in neutrality during tho re
cent hostilities, influenced mainly by Keo
kuk, not a hereditary obi of, and only a
principal bravo or warrlor,tho sonso bear
er, orator and treasurer ol confederacy.
Tho demand was communicated to this
remarkable mac.
Aftor a Iittlo muring, tho painful truth
of tho story sestned to flash upon him.
With candor he stated tho grouuds of his
fears. A young brao of some twenty
years of age, the son of a distinguished
ohief, had long sought to marry a young
squaw, tho daughter of another famous
chiol, but tho maidon repulsed tho lover,
applying to him tho most approbrious ep
ithetsquaw ho never having taken a
eoalp, killed a grizzly boar, nor by tur
priso, robbod au enemy of Irs arms, horac
or wife. Hcuoe, sho said her lover v?as
not a fiim'c but a woman. Her (sympa
thies were, moreover, with Blr,ok Hawk
her only brother having run off with lint
reckless chief.
All these particulars wcro not yet known
to tho wise treasures ; for ho had only
boon surprised in tho chaugo of conduct in
tho belle savage, who had so suddenly mar
ried her lover. Keokuk, in good frith
aid ho would enquire, for his groat oaro
had bcon to save hi.i people from destruc
tive war and entire fcpoliaiion, with which
Black II.!inkfl conduct had caused them to
be threatened.
The next day lie called nt lioad-qtiar-tcrs
and whispered that his foar.i had
provod prophetic ; that tho happy bride
grooib had, for tho good of tho confeder
acy, confessed iiitnsslf to bo the guilty
party, and was at hand j but begged the
general to repeat, in a full council, the des
maud, etc. This was accordingly done,
and as soon ns Scott's peroration I do
mand the murderer! was interpreted, tho
young Apollo ntoo'd Up and said : I am
tho man I With a violent stamp aud
voico Scott called out tho guard ! A scr
goant, with a dozen grcnadics rushed ic,
seized lbo offender, aud carried him off.
When tbo blacksmith began to place
and rivet irons upon him, ho etrugglcrt
furiously. It took several of tho guard to
hold him down, Ho said he did not oomc
forward to beironod; ho did not wish to
bo tried, that ho preferred to be .hot nt
once. Ho was sent dawn to the Illinois
court then in setsion, put on his trial, and
notwithstanding tho strong circumstantial
oviuiUjco, and that it was proven ho Lad
acknowledged the killing in liand-to-haud
fight, a tricky lawyer, well provided with
the means of bribing, no doubt by tbo
chiofs of tho confederacy, obtajned from
tbo jury a verdict of not guilt;.
Tho acquitted had yet to pass another
ordca! one of fire aud water. A swift
horse, half way betweon lbo court and the
Mississippi, (a few hundred yards off,)haei
been provided for tho occasion ; frontier
men always havo the rifles in Hand, nnd

A Man who has not slept for

This may scorn incrcditabic, but, never
theless, it is true, and can be varified by
numbers of persons. The individual is an
intelligent man, naturally, and has tho
benefit of a moderato education. His namo
is C. D. Saunders, Ordcily Sergeant of
Company G, Thirteenth Virginia Vo'un
tcers. Ho entered tho servico of the Uni
ted States on December 29, 1603. f0 is
in tho forty fifth year of his age. ifia
hoalth has been generally excellctit during
his life.
In 1849 ho was attacked with cholera,
and since that period with lung fever cn
two occasions In tho Summer of 1600
tjlocp forsook him, and since that timo ho
has never felt tho least drowsy. He always
led a tempcrotc lifo. His wifo and children
reeido in Putnam County, WcBt Virginia.
Since ho entered the Federal nrmy he haB
boon on seven raids, and four chargos,dur
ing which timo he informs us that ho never
felt tired or sleepy. He was iii tho foil
onargea made boyocd Harper's Ferry ,Va.,
on tho 17th, 16th, 10th and COth of last
August, and yet did not fcol tho least

not bleep is as much a mystery to him as
it is to many scieutifio gentlomcn,who,hav
Ing had their attontion called to him, have

Upon ono occasion, at lih requo.U, a
