Railroad Items.
Arrangements are in progress for the
opening of a new railroad line to Sunbury
and Williamsport, via Schuylkill- Haven,
Achlaud and Shamokin. This route di
verges from the Reading Railroad at
Schuylkill Haven, and crosses the moun
tains by inclined planes.
The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad,
since the time it was leased by the Penn
sylvania Central Company, has been rapid
ly pushed forward to completion. Gangs
of men are at work at both ends, but there
is no probability that the cars will be run
ning between the East and the Lakes before
January, 186;3.
The Schuylkill and Susquehanna Rail
road, from Auburn to Harrisburg, idler
having passed through a series of financial
mishaps, and been in the hands of numer
ous parties, is now run by the Reading
Railroad Company.
The Mount Carbon Railroad is now un
dergoing repairs, preparatory to running
locomotives to and from the mines. The
road has been under the control of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com

DR. HE TER, -op NEW YORE.. ON THE
THROAT AND THE TREATMENT HY -INHA
LATION.
To the Editor of the Pittsburgh Post
lahoriug as I have done for
many years to bring about a reform in the
treatment of diseases of the throat and
hrogg, I have received great encourage
ment:from the press, through whose col
umn,:` I have plainly discussed my views,
and ay efforts in this behalf have been
fully 'recognized by the public, and by
many of my professional brethren—
amongst whom I have numbered numer
ous patients.
When I began the discussion of my
vittis'through. the press in ISSI, the uni
versal, practice was to pour medicines into
the stomach to cure diseases of the lungs.
The utter uselessness of that practice was
proved daily; yet physicians prescribed
and patients swallowed great quantities in
thefree of continued failure. The sale of
patent medicines prevailed to a frightful
extent. The victims atilt:ease tailing to
obtain help front physicians, yet eager for
life, i/an after every pretension and swal
lowed' every nostrum presented tothem.
Ity this meanstlmy terribly vitiated - their
stomachs witliout henffiting their limes.—
They unfitted their di;restive organs for
the functions of health and nutrition,while
their respi rat ory organs were left as clogged
and foal as ever. if not rendered worse
and more aggravated. The mortality from
coniiiiMption was at that. time greatly on
the increase. Its incurability was held by
the profession and the public as sound
doctrine, and certainly so long as disease
was left to cat its way at leisure through
the delicate membranes and air cells of the
bronchia and lungs—while the stomach
waSititacked and destroyed by every vile
compdundthat the ingenuity of man could
invent—so long, I say, consumption was
incurable.
Long before I gave publicity to my
ideas! had become convinced that the old
treatment was all wrong—that, as the lungs
an& Stomach had no direct communication,
the_siSsurdity of taking medicines into the
stomach-for a disease of the lungs was ap
parent, and I wonder at the placitude of
intelligent men in pursuing so useless a
COUSEE* for so many ages. I found that
through an inhaling instrument of my own
contrivance I could. administer such medi
cines as I desired in the form of vapor, and
thus reach the seat of disease directly, and
caudelny remedies to act with greater
certainty and effect than had hitherto gen
erally been known on the lining mem
branes and substance of the lungs. Devo
ting my whole time to the speciality of
diseases of the chest, I was enabled to
make a correct diagnosis of each case, and
prescribe accordingly, until at length ac
cumulated experiences has enabled me to
systenAtize the treatment by inhalation to
an extent never before attempted.
The wide publicity which I gave to my
views, in the city of New York, on the
causes and proper treatment of consump
tion;-at length fully opened the'eyes of the
people to the terrible and fatal errors of
practice through which so many had been
steadily going down to the grave. The ef
fect-wits to cut 'off pretty generally the
wholesale use . of nostrums for the stomach,
and to turn the attention of both physicians
and patients to Inhalation as the only ra
tional method of treatment. What was
the consequence? In a few years from
my introduction of the system and my ex
posure of the old fallacies, the mortality
from consumption in the city of New
York had diminished 50 per cent. while
the population was increasingand yet up to
the date of the inauguration of my prac
,ice in-that city the mortality was on the
incrytee. These are facts on record in the
City inspector's office, where they are
weekly gathered from the returns of phy
sicians.
ThusihaNT my practice, my predictions
and my theories been vindicated, notilmere
ly by isolated cases, but by the official re
cords of mortality of the city of New York.
The proof is ample as to the efficiency of
the practice I have so extensively advoca
ted in subduing and eradicating pulmona
ry diseases where complete disorganization
has not already destroyed the vitality of
the system. And it is generally conceded
that this practice of inhalation i s destined
to fill that fearful blank in medical prac
tice involving the organs of respiration, in
toewhich, like an interminable gulf, myr
iads heoe in-the ages sunk before the eyes
of their friends, the pieession and the
;
I invariably find that my best patients
are tho s ie who are the best informed—par
ticularly•on the nature and cause of their
disease: - I am greatly aided in the treat
ment df"any case by intelligence on the.part
of MY pitients. As all my directions and
treatment are rational, I desire to see them
attended to in a rational manner; using
adequate means for the attainment, of de
sirable results. With this view, therefore,
; propose, from time to time, publishing in
your columns, with your permission, prac
tical let Ors on the nature, causes and
ream** of Catarrh, Sore-Throat, Laryn
gyes,-Babnchitis, Asthma and Consump
tion. These letters wiil probably aid the
affiietedin understanding their true con
dition and will enable them intelligently
to judiffortheiniselies between the absurd
practicolbf treating the throat and lungs
throukrithe stomach, and the - more ration
al methda of applying medicines prescrib
ed directly to the seat of the disease.
Yours obedient servant, -

Dr. Hunter's Letters.
We give to our readers this morning No.
1 of Dr. Robert Hunter's letters on con
sumption and kindred complaints. Dr. H.
is a celebratedphysician, who has for many
years past enjoyed a wide reputation for
his successful treatment of bronchial and
pulmonary complaints. These articles first
appeared in the New York Medical Special
ist,front which they have been largely cop
ied by the press both East and V. eat, and
widely commented upon. We shall con
tinue the letters from day to day until com
pleted. The letters are full ofinterest to
the general public as well as professionals,
and will be looked for with anxiety by all
classes, especially the afflicted.
Hats aad — Capa.
We wish to tell onr readers where they
can supply themselves with well made and
fashionable hats and caps, at fair prices.
If they will call at No. 163 Wood street,
opposite the First Presbyterian Church,
they will find a full stock to select from,

tion.
Fonds for the Pittsburg pedi-
' As it is probable that the steamers sent
to Pittsburg from this city will bring back
a number of the wounded, it becomes the
duty of our citizens to make pinvision for
their reception and care when they do ar
rive, in order that they may receive every
attention. Reuben Miller, Jr., chairman
of the committee appointed to collect funds
to defray the expenses of the expedition, de
sires the ward committees to. go to work at
once and report as early as possible. There
will be no difficulty in raising any required
sum if the collectors only do their duty.
Death of an Old Citizen.
We are pained to announce, this morn
ing, the death of one of our oldest citi
zens, Mr. William Barnhill. He died yes
terday evening at his residence in the Sixth
Ward; after a somewhat protracted illness.
He has long been engaged in boiler making
and was an industrious, skillful mechanic.
He was a much esteemed citizen and *as
last year a member of the Common Coun
cil from the Sixth Ward, where ho has
long resided. His death will be regretted
by a large circle of friends.
Disiorderly Soldiers.
Two men, enlisted in the regular serv
ice by Capt. J. S. Kennedy, entered the
tavern of Mrs. White, near the drove yards.
Second Ward, Allegheny, and acted in a
very disorderly manner. They were taken
before Mayor Drum, and their conduct
having been very gross, he fined one of
tnem $25 and the ether $l5. Not having
this amount of money, they sent for Cap
tain Kennedy, who furnished the cash and
took charge of the refractory recruits.

Correct Your Arithmetic.
A city cotemporary, speaking of an old

One of the two statements must be incor

You have tfoubtless heard by - special
dispatch, of the terrible events of yester
day, end to-day everything isin confusion.
There are a thousand :and one different re
ports concerning the engagement and any
accurate detailed account is impossible.
Tho main facts, however, are known.
On Sunday morning, at three o'clock,
the enemy under Beauregard and John
ston, variously estimated at from 75000 to
100,000,
.advanced upon Prentiss 's and
Sherman 'a
brigades, which were principal
ly composed of new men, and which occu
pied the advance guard, driving them from
their position. The battle raged with
great fury throughout the day. the enemy
succeeded in outflankingus uponour right,
and Gen. Wallace's division, which had
been sent out to protect the right flank.
mistook their route, and took a circuit of
fifteen instead of five miles, so that they
failed to come up in time. Our forces
were driven back towards the river, lint
the gunboats Tylor and Lexington imme
diately opened upon them with shell, and
kept it up during the night, rendering in
valuable service. Our heavy guns also
rendered very effectual aid in checking the
enemy. During Sunday night the forces
under Gen. Buell began to arrive, and in
the morning commenced the attack upon
the enemy, Gen. Nelson's brigade 011 the
extreme left, Gen. Crittenden 's immedi
ately to his right ; then Gens. McCook,
Sherman and Preutiss. The right of the
enemy, which was under Gen. Beaure
gard, fought with the greatest desperation.
'the struggle continued, at intervals, until
til five o'clock, the enemy retreating and
our force pursuing. One thing is certain
—the enemy has been repulsed with ter
rible slaughter. The loss in killed and
wounded cannot be computed with any
degree of certainty. lam informed by of
ficers who have means of judging, that
the loss in killed and wounded on both
sides, will range between 20.000 and 30,-
000. This is the opinion of Gen. Grunt.
So much for the quasi -official statement of
the afl air.
It is a fact which I can hardly account
for on principles of acoustics, that whim
we were forty miles front our destination,
confused and vague reports came to us of
the cannonading heard all day Sunday.
These stories,. auto:nigh frequently repeat
ed, served my to amuse me at first. As
canto within ten miles of Savannah,
and twenty miles front Pittsburg, the dull
boom of cannon became distinctlyandible,
and grew slmrper and louder as we ad
vauced. The etket of - the sound. now re
peated at slow intervals, now increasing al
most into volleys, when combined with
our knowledge of the vast threes probably
engaged, brought to mind the tones ()Mat
erloo. heard in the halls of Brussels. It was
half the Penn of victory and half the knell
of untold dead.
When we reached Savannah the most in
coherent and conflicting stories were hurl
ed at us from deck and shore. The cry
was, "Hurry on with your batteries imme
diately; they want them." How sloWly
the craft seemii to toil against the stream.
Perhaps our little six pound howitzer
might change the fortunes cif the day. At
last the Pittsburg landing, With - its line of
smoke stacks, and steep bluff, came into
sight. Its sides, for a mile, were swarm
ing with blue coats, artillery horses strug
',ling up the bank. cavalry, infantry, army
-
. 4. 5S'Ni, litters bearing the wounded and
o mingled in chaotic contusion.—
Who' could this mean? Could it be
another Bull Run? When the boat landed
we learned that we had been rupulsed on
Sunday, but had retrieved our fortunes the
next day; that the enemy were retreating.
and that the battle was pretty much ended.
I rushed ashore, hoping
. to fi nd someplace
to deposit my b aggage: in safety, but for
half an hour the attempt seemed hopeless.
Meantime the quivering report of monster
guns behind the bluff told plainly enough
that the contest was not ended. At last I
found a hospital steward, who relieved
me of my burden, and I got under way,
floundering along through the mud, among
the snake train of ambulances and artil
lery wagons. For half a mile I pressed on
through the forest, which covered the en
tire surrounding country, without finding
any evidence of an engagement except
here and there the scar of an occasional
shot high up on the trees. I was told
that the hard fighting was a mile beyond.
At last broken muskets, cartridge boxes;
haversacks, a horse hereand there stretch
ed out in his blood, began to appear. Be
fore long I found a poor fellow, mangled
and rotting, who had doubtless fallen the
day before. I picked up a letter lying
upon him, but reflected that it might iden
tify the body, and replaced it. These
were the first drops in the tempest of hu
man blood. At some little distance be
yond, through the encampment of the
Third Ohio, the scene baffled description.
Muskets by the hundreds had been thrown
down and abandoned. Bodies were lying
at intervals of a rod in all directions.—
Mangled trunks of horses were scattered
about. The fighting here must 'have been
well contested and desperate. To detail
all the hideous aspects of' the dead in this
field of carnage, if it were possible, would
be simply revolting. 1 was drawn by
sort of fascination to one corpse after
another. The expressions of mortal agony
in the face of manywas as fresh as Para
beaus oould have wished to paint. Some
'were distorted and defiant. The faces
wore hard and bearded. Others were
boyish, and wore almost the repose of sleep.
One smooth-faced lad seemed to smile. I
fancied that in the dying moments he saw
his mother. God pity such mothers! Most
of the hands were clenched; the glazed
eye still glaringasitglared upon the enemy
in the moment of death.
In a ravine, further on, the corpses of
the enemy lay thickest. Mere there had
been it cannonade of grape-shot andiballs.
Trees a foot in diameter had been cut in
two. Nothing seemed to be unscathed.—
Two rebels lay disemboweled and brained
by a huge ball, which had, apparently,
slain a horse beyoend. Here lay a poor
wretch, in the clamminess and pallor of
apparent decomposition. I supposed he
had died Sunday ; but conceive of my
horror when I saw that his chest heaved,
" as in his breast the wave of life kept
heaving to and fro." A cannon shot had
brained him, but life still worked in a
spasm upon his features. Behind me
came a strange, agonizing cry; it was that:
of a wounded man borneby on a litter. A.
Kentucky Captain wasexceedingly anxious
that I should superintend the burial of an
old friend and recent , enemy — a wbite
headed gentlemen of the manor born—and
I made him some vain pledges. Heesid
that it would break his wife's: heart if she
knew that he wasrotting there. HP!'
many hearts will be broltei4how many
homes made desolateby the last few hours!
One soldier told.me that he was trying'-to
find the body of his brother, who might be,
dead on the field.

Such is war. I would have lingered'
much longer, but the night was coining on,

had fearful evidence that the enemy could'
not be far distant. Surfeited with horror,
I fell in with the returning -soldiers and
ambulances, " the weary to sleep and the
wounded to die." ,
