local intelligence
r hat a precious and inestimable gift is sound,
uninterrupted health ! We call it a gift, because
all the blessings man enjoys here are a grant
from the beneficence of the Creator. And what
a pleasure it is to be free from all ache and pain.'
The mind becomes infeebled, and he who pos
sesses continued bodily health has also the ad
ditional advantage of enjoying a sound mind.
The preservation of the constitution, physically
as well as politically, is a matter of the first
importance with all persons. But, alas, in both
eases, it is only those who suffer the loss, that
are fully able to appreciate the benefits of a'
good constitution.
Though health 1b a gift, its preservation to a
certain extent remains in our own handst Pro
per sanitary regulations, especially in a city
like this, conduce greatly to the promotion of
good health. It is indeed astonishing that the
general health of the city is as good as it is re
ported, when u-e consider the surroundings.
The murky, fillthy and almost putrid water from
the rivers, when swolen by heavy rains that
come down in torrents from the steep hill-sides,
sweep along the streets of cities and villages,
carrying along with it nil the offal of alleys and
sewers, is enough, of itself, to produce much
sickness. Then the noxious gases of every
cellar and ground room, that rise like miasmas,
whenever a door or window is opened, are cer
tainly Dot well calculated to promote health.
The very paper upon many walls and the carpet
upon many Poors, treasure 'up the seeds of dis
eases and death/ unlesi dißiulecting agents are
freely used to counteract their influence. Par-
the warm weather, from this time
in the year till the first of November, lime and
other disinfectants should be unsparingly used
in every cellar and in every room, where a musty
andofFensivc odor is observed to arise. It is
into such places tint the poison of disease in
sidiously creeps and conceals itself, till its ac
cumulation produces contagion. Of course it
is not our pl.nc, nor our desire to dictate to the
city authorities upon this or any other eutyect.
but we would rather suggest directly to the
people themselves, that the use of some thous
ands of bushels of lime, would not only make
the cellars and vacant rooms of the city smell
sweet and refreshing, but might greatly promote
the health of Its inhabitants.
Artillery Captain Kjafp’s Artillery,
whose services were offered to the Governor of
this State, has been accepted, as appears from
the following letter from the Secretary of War •
Wait Hep artm e.nt, May loth IBIU
To. Lapt. J. M. Knapp :-We will take yourbat
tallon ot artillery, heavy or light as youes'n
best raise them, to serve at Washington or its
vicinity, foi one hundred days from the date of
orZnhL tbL ' to be by company
(Signed,) E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War
The company is ordered to rendezvous at Wil
kin b Hall, and will no doubt proceed to Wash*
ington immediately.
Governor Curtin had refused to accept them
on the grounds that he had made no call for
emergency men. liut thinks most
prol ably that the Government will nee d all the
men it can get to reinforce the decimated ranks
of Gen. Grant and hence orders them on.
Capt. Williams — We direct allention to
the advertisement of Capt. Williams, who halt'
very generously proposed to give one entire
week's nett proceeds of the exhibition of a
Whaling Voyage, for the benefit of the Sanitary
lair. 1 his cxhil.il ion is very interesting, and
taking the object in view, it should be well pa
tronized. The panorama is slowly unfolded as !
the lecturer proceeds and gives most striking I
and vivid news of the scenes which the whale 1
voyager has to passthrough. Then the Carr,
has a whale boat along—no substitute for one— I
but a veritable whale boat, which is entered I
during the exhibition, and the audience are I
shown the dangers, anxieties and excitements 1
incident to catching the whale. !
Coal Boats !,, passing along Water street
yesterday, we observed a crowd of about two
hundred men congregated in that vicinity ■m.l
upon inquiry, learned that tin y were all 'bound
for Cairo on coal boats. About forty pairs of
cdal boats were to start out to-day for the mar
ket below, and as the wages offered are much
ugher than those in other employments, the
rush for a situation was great. Not more than
one.half of them could procu re a place, as many
of the boat hands have been heretofore engaged
for the trip, but the fact of so many congrega
ting at this place proves that there is no scar
city of hands, and that higher wages would call
out any quantity of laborers In any department I
of business.
