CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL."
Washington, D. C, Jan. 14, 1862. -
Friend Row In my last I endeavored to
give the readers of the Journal some idea of
the different kinds of guns irt use in tho army.
The next thing in order are the projectiles,
ani as your readers often meet the terms
"canister," "grape," &c, I will give them a
definition of each i A canister shot is a cylin
der of tin, (of the same diameter as the bore
of the gun), filled with small, balls, called
grape. , Scrapnel shot aro thin shells filled, in
addition to the bursting charge, with musket
balls the number in a 24-pound shot being
225 balls they like other shells, have a fuze
attached by which they, are bursted at the
proper time.
The Aitillery regiment raised by Colonel
Charles Campbell has lost its identity as a reg
iment, it having been found impracticable to
keep it together. The different batteries com
posing it have been assigned to different com
mands, and the field officers discharged, for
tbe reason that artillery cannot act unsupport
ed by infantry, and the field officers of tbe in
fantry would necessarily have command for
t ho time being.
Having so far given you what information I
could get from the obliging officers and men
ef the different batteries, and from personal
observation, of their cannon, balls,' etc., I will
now speak of some other things, being fearful
that too much of dry detail will not be palit
able'to your readers, but, at the same time
reserving "some of the same sort" for my
next. - ' - " '
During my travels among the Reserve I
found, besides the two companies from our
own county, two from Centre county ono in
the 5th, Capt. Larimer's ; and one in the 1st
cavalry, Capt. Lipton's. I also found one
Centre county company in tho 49th Pennsyl
vania Vol., in Hancock's brigade Capt. Miles
Green. I believe that Captains Lipton and
Green are both from Milrsburg, and being so
near to us when at home, they appear like ac
quaintances here.. Capt. Brady of Brookville,
with his company belongs to the 11th regi
ment, lie like many others of his profession,
has dropped the . composing stick to take up
the sword ; nnd, I have no doubt, if a favor
able opportunity offers, will make a good "im
pression." and bring some secesh to a "peri
od." This regiment like most others, has
built winter quarters. Tho style of the huts
are accoraing to the peculiar fancy. of the
builders. Some are quite neat, and display a
refined taste ; whilst others are rather rough.
However, all are said to be warm and comfort
able the great object aimed at. In tho 12th
regiment the houses are all built after one
style, and look quite neat. I observed that
but few officers of the Bucktail regiment had
built winter quarters, for the reason that tho
weather has been pleasant so far, and they
have not felt uncomfortable; besides they
have had no orders to remain hero for the
winter, and therefore they anticipate the
storming of some stronghold of the enemy be
fore long. By the use ef small sheet iron
stoves the men are able to keep their quatrers
warm aud comparative ly comfortable.
Yours, &c, Traveler.

Coolness of the Bucktails. A correspon
dent writes from one of the northern counties
in this State, where the Buoktails were re
cruited, as follows ; "I want to hear something
of the Pennsylvanians. I know the boys who
fought at Drainsville and fleshed their maiden
swords nnder Qen. Ord, and I well knew when
they met tho foe somebody would die. I must
give you an incident or two of that fight ;
Charles Yahn, a young mm from this vicinity,
was shot through the face, shattering the jaw
and knocking out teeth, making a very ugly
and painful wound. Spitting tho blood from
his month, he handed a cartridge to bis next
neighbor, saying, I cau fight yet, if I can't
bite.' And thus be fought it out, getting his
comrade to bite off" the cartridges, and he is
now recovering under tbe hands of the sur
geon. Another was struck over tho ye by a
spent ball, cutting tho skin but not entering
the skull. He coolly picked up the bullet, re
marking, 'there is the Secession lead that
struck me,' and put the little memento into
his pocket. This is the sort of men Pennsyl
vania has in the national army, aqd I want, to
hear more of .them." ; , "
Some of our soldiers in South Carolina and

(From Official Hospital R.ntorts )
May 19, I860. Ellen 8.. a?t. 2, single, never
was very strong. Two years ago she bad an at
tack of aeute rheumatism, fioni which she was con
fined to her bed for two weeks, and subsequently
from a relapse for four more. She has been well
sinco then till last Saturday; while engaged in
house cleaning, she took cold, had pain in her back,
felt cold, but had no decided chill. Two days
later her ankles began to swell which was follow
ed by swelling of the knee joints and of I he hands.
She has dull pain in her shoulders, and her knuck
les are very tender, red and painful ; both hands
are affected, but the right is the most so. This,
then, is a case of acute rhcumatit m. or, as it is now
fashionably called, rheumatic fever. It in a well
marked typical case. We will carefully watch the
case, and from time to time call your attention to
the various symptoms which present themselves.
My chief object in bringing her before you now is
to call your attention to a remedy which has re
cently been recommended in tbe treatment of rheu
matism. I mean propylamine. Ir. A wenarius of
St. Petersburg, recommends it in the highest terms
having derived great benefit from its use in 230
cases which came under his care. Various com
mendatory testimonials respecting it have appear
ed in our journals, aud I propose giving it another
trial. I must confess 1 am always incredulous as
to the worth of new remedies, which are vaunted
as specifics ; but this comes to us recommended so
highly, thut we are bound to give it a trial.
SAME CASE FOUR DAYS LATER !
Mat 23, 1860. I wi'l now exhibit to yon the pa
tient for whom I preshribed Propylamine, and
who was then laboring under an attack of acute
rheumatism. She has steadily taken it in doses
of three grains, every two hours, (intermitting it
at night). The day after you saw her, I found her
much more comfortable, better than she expected
to be for a week or more, judging from her other
attack. (The patient now walked into tbe room.)
The improvement has steadily progressed, and
you cannot fail to notice a marked change in tbe
appearance of her joints, which are now nearly of
their natural size. Thus far our experiment would
have seemed very successf ul ; but gentlemen we
must wait a little while before we can give a de
cided opinion as to what is to be the result.
THREE DAYS LATER!!
- May 26,1860. This is the case of acute rheuma
tism treated with propylamine, the first of those to
which I called your attention at our last clinie.
She is still very comfortable, and is now taking
three gratns thrice daily.
In this case it has seemed to be followed by very
satisfactory, results. The second case to which
your attention was called at our last lecture, has
also continued to do well. I will now bring be
fore you a very characteristic case of acute rheu
matism, and if the result b esatisfaetory, 1 think
as good jurymen, tcesluill justly reiulerour verdict
in favor of propylamine,.
He is a seaman, set. 26, who was admitted a few
days ago. Has had occasional rheumatic pains,
but not so as to keep his bed, until eight days ago.
Tbe pains began in his right knee, subsequently
affected the left knee, and later the joints of the
upper extremities. These joints are all swollen,
tense and tender. His tongue is furred; his skin
at present, dry, though there has been much sweat
ia. His pulse is full and strong, and about 90.
lie has now used propylamine tweuty-four hours.
. This gentlemen is what may be called a strictly
typical case ot acute rheumatism. There was ex
posure to cold and wet, and this exposure is fol
lowed by a feeling of coldnt. severe articular
pain, beginning, us it usually does, in the lower
joints There is fever and the profuse sweating,
so generally attendant on acute rheumatism.
I did not bring this patient before you with the
intention of giving you a lecture on all tbe points
connected with rheumatism, but to again give a
trial to the new remedy we are testing, and to ex
hibit to you this typical case, as I have called it,
than which there could not be a fairer opportunity
for testing the medicine in question. We are,
therefore, avoiding thejisc of all otber medicines,
even anodynes,- that thero may be no misgivings
as to which was the efficient remedy. You shall
see the case in a future clinic.
THE RESULT. A FAVORABLE VERDICT.
Jcne 9, 1860. The next of our convalescents is
the case ofjacutc rheumatism before you at our clin
ie of May 26th, which I then called a typical case,
and which it was remarked was a fair opportunity
for testing the worth of our new remedy. It was
therefore steadily given in three grain doses every
two hours for four days. The patient has got along
very nicely, and is now able to walk about as you
see. do iiot lusitate to $a y that 1 have never seem
as severe a casejj acitte rhennuuis in. so soon restor
ed to health as this man has been., and without be
ing prepared to decide positively as to the value o f
the remedy ice kavetised, I feel bound to state that
in. the eases in which we have, tried the chloride of
Propylamine, the patients have gained their health
much earlier than under tlii treatment ordinarily
pursted., I wish, gentlemen, you would your
selves try it, and report the results.

densed extract, see the Philadelphia MedicaJamt
Surgical Reporter. It is a report after a fair trial
by the best medical authority in this country, and
