Q®-The effect of tobacco :upon the ner
vous system was one of the very important
subjects which attracted,tbe attention of the
British Association at its late meeting. Dr.
E. Smith read a paper on the effects-of "the
weed." upon . pulsation, arguing that tobacco
operated differently upon ft ifferent constitu
tions, and under different circumstances, and
demonstrating that, as a rule, 'sinning ac
celerated the pulsation. A long discussion
ensued, in the course.of literary
man appeared to be generally accepted as
the most fitting exponent of results. Here,
however, doctors differed. One or two of
the - gentlemen maintained that the effects of
tobacco were stimulative' of vital and mental
action ; others praised its soothing effects ;
while other gentlemen maintained that, as a
rule, it was stupefying and destructive of the
moans of maintaining the resulttr deSired.—

Gen. Burnside—The New Comman
der-of the Army of' the Potomac.
Wo have heretofore
,published an outline
sketch of Gen. Burnside, yet his appointment
to, and assumption' of the coniteand . of tho
Army' of the Potomac—the Grand. Army of
Union—renders a brief biography intorcptlng
at the present time. Major Gen. 'Alllirose
Everett Burnside, of the United States volun
Leer service, is in the very prime of life, hav
ing been born at. Liberty, a small town in
Union county, Indiana, on the 231 of May,
1824. After being well grounded in the usu•
al rudiments of a liberal education, he was
nominated to the West Point Military Acade
my, and his name was enrolled as a oadet in
1842. Ile graduated in 1847, eighteenth in a
class of 38 members, and was immediately at
tached to the 2d Artillery with the brevet
rack of Second Lieutenant It is a fact worthy
of note that none' of the graduates of 1847
were appointed either to the Engineers, Corps
of Topographical Engineers, or the Ordinance
Department. Usually the first ten or twelve
graduates are assigned to these corps, but in
1847 twenty-three were appointed to artillery
and the rest to infantry regiments, The re
quirements of the service, consequent upon
the tear with Mexico, then raging, wcte• no
doubt the cause of this. In September, 1817,
Lieut. Burnside was promoted to a full sec
ond lieutenancy in Company C, 3d Artillery,
since rendered famous as Bragg's Battery."
Bragg himself being then captain of it. With
this battery Lieut. Burnside marched, in
Gen. Patterson's division, to the City of-Mex
ico, and remained there until the close of the
Mexican war. .After this served with his
company in New Mexico, where he was dis
tinguished in encounters with the Apache In
dians.being complimented in general orders.
On the 12th of December, 1831, he was pro
moted to a first lieutenancy, in the room of
an officer who was ..cashiered. When the
present Lieut. Col. James O. Graham of the
Corps of Topographical Engineers, was op.
poi Med United :tales Astronomer- in the joint
commission to settle the frontier lines of the
of died:l)ood States and Mexico, Lieut. Burn

We out from Lhe St. Louie Democrat, (whit%
ought to be good authority) an article on a
question, the solution of which for more than
a year has kept the government from striking
a death-blow to the rebellion. When pc; • o
who were in earnest about the bush as of
putting down anarchy, said 4i cenfisea o the
property of the convicted traitors," 'mid
gentlemen in (he North who called themse es
conservatives, held up (heir bands in ho
horror, and depicted the terrible eousequeuce•
that would' ensue from an immediate and
incurable estrangement of the Border States.
Did a fighting general proclaim to the enemy
his purpose of mulOting him in property as
well as person, such a howl fur his removal
was immediately instituted as rarely failed in
its accomplishment. How admirably this kid
glove campaigning has served to restore the
lost supremacy of the government, the pro•
sent defiant attitude of the rebellion attests.
But this is not what we set, out `to say. We
propose to show, by (looting this editorial
from a leading newspaper in one of the prin.

Rule^cit War.
Dr. Woolsey, President of Yale College, in
his introduction to the study of International
Law, statte the rules of war thus:.
“To sum up all that has been said on tho
topic, we may lay dawn the following rules of
war:
1, Private persons, remaining quiet, and
taking no part in the conflict, are to be unmo
lested ; but if the people of an invaded district
take an active part in the war, they forfeit
their claim to protection.' This marked line
of separation between the soldier and non
soldier is of extreme importance for the in
terests of humanity.
2. The property, movable a 8 toellao immovable
of private persons in an invaded' country, is
to remain uninjured. But if the wants of the
hostile army require,iit may be taken by nu
thorized persons at a fair value; but
mnrnu
ding must be cheoked by diseipline and fien.
• * * 4 ' The only True, humane. and even
just principle, is that already laid down,sthat
war is waged by State against State, by sot ,
dier against soldier. *
But pillagaand devastatiiin are seldom_ poll
tie oven when they are supposed to be just.
'The rule is now pretty well established that,
while 411 military stores and buildings are
lawful plunder, and while every edifice in the
way of military movements, whether, indeed,
public or private, may be destroyed, whatever
does not contribute to the use of war ought tore
main intact. ,It was it. blot upon the British
character, when they burned the Capitol at
Ittashingtoni and- the excuse - for it -oh the
ground of retalitation, although insufficient,
showed the necessity for an excuselo the civi
lized world. Even., military hospitals aro
spared, if not misused Tor ahostile puvposti.
With civil lwars, international justice has
nothing to do. :But the same rules of natural
justico'and lmina - 11y Which are`aPplied to this
justice of ordinary Wore ; and lo the mode of
conducting them, , apply' berg also. :la no
kinds of war is retaliation more sure, and
none are getierally so cruel and uncivilized,
so that strictomles of war are more uecessary

exchanges. that early on Friday Inurnin g, a
destructive fire broke out in the engine room
of Messrs. Inglcfritz & White's Car Works,
in that borough. A strong wind prevailed,
which seriously increased the fury of the
flames, and baffled the efforts of the firemen.
In quick i-necession the several frame build
ings owned by the firm, together with the,
agricultural end machine works of Messrs. +
Dingee, were in full blaze. first named
firm lost all, their valuable machinery and
material, large in quantity, as they were en
gaged in filling-a few heavy contracts. A
magnificent new passenger tar, built by this
firm. fur the Reading and Columbia railroad,
stoiA en a side track, and was totally con
seined. The car was nearly finished, at a
cost of two thousand dollars. Their aggre
gate loss is, perhaps, thirty thousand dollars.
They are insured for about $2,500 in each
of the two York companies ; and they have
some foreign insurance. But their loss over
all insurance is severe.
The :Messrs; Dingee, too, are completely
burnt ,out. The loss i they have sustained
may,couat seven or eight thousuncnollars—
possibly more, Of this, they have an in:sur
f-ince cff about $2,500 in the York County.
Magill', together with protection in some
other companies.. The ingirrance will
cover mere than five thousand dollars. The
fire swept across Beaver street, Consuming
the . coal office of George A Barnitz, together
with shedding.- All the contents of the office,
except two iron safes, were removed. The
contents 'in tl c safes we're either burnt or
scorched, but "hey . contained nothing ot' •
much value ; This does, not speak well for

Shape of Our Bodies
Symmetry is one of the conditions Of - good
health. God knows the hest form. He
created man upright in His own image.—
The'vital prgans in the chest and abdomen
are fitted to an erect spine. If the tipper
portion of the spine • bend forward, as in
drooping shoulders; not only is the great
nerve marrow of the spine itself distorted,
and its circulation crippled, (which. is a se
rious matter, resulting in certain common
affections,) but the lungs, heart, liver, and
stomach lose their natural place and perform
all their duties disadvantageously. A very
large proportion of our many affections of
`those vital organs take their rise in such
displacement. What shall be done ?
improve the desks in our schools, so
that, instead of compelling cur young to sit
for hours every day in a stooping position,
they shall be compelled to sit erect, with
head and shoulders drawn well back. This
is very easily accomplished. Such a change
in our school furniture would prove a price
less national blessing.
2. Remove every ounce of pressure frOm
the waist. Pants worn without suspenders,
and drawn close about the body, skirts and
dresses pressing at the waist, must produce
round shoulders, for when the organs of the
abdomen are pushed downward, the shoul
ders must drop in order to maintain the
relations between the thoracic and abdomi
nal viscera.
The back legs of our chairs must be
sawn off two inches shorter than the front
orws. TlM ; front edge, of the seat must not
bb more than fourteen inches high for a
woman, and sixteen for men. This arrange.
!neat will immediately relieve the back. while
sitting, and . secure a good position of .the
shoulder.;.
4. The habit of walking erect, with the
air of a soldier, must I), generally cultivated.
5. liymilastie culture of the shoulders. ,
With such means the nation mill become
up right and vigorous —Diu Loris.

THE WEATLIER—ILUN.—The present
week has been raw, &Imp and disagreeable,
with copious showers of rain. Although we
!nay be disposed to repine at this, the farmer
uo doubt will heartily rejoice, as these sea•
siomble rains will be of immense benefit to
the growing crops—a matter we are all more
or less interested in.
REVENUE, STAMPA —'ihe impression
has gone abroad that the law, with reference
to the Internal Revenue Stamps, will not be
enforced until the fir,t of January. This is
inistali.e. All penalties for non use of these
stamps are now in torte. and they will be
rigidly, enforced as fast as the various stamps
are issued.
LA ROE BUSINESS.—JOB N NOBLE,
gag deeS, We believe, the heaviest butcher.
ing lothiness in this neighborhood. In the
month of October, as exhibited by his return
to the Assistant Assessor, ho killed no less
than Eighty-Five Bullocks• The national
tax upon loose bullocks amounts to Twentfl
Five nollars. At this rate, the tax ho pays
directly to the Government, from, this source
alone, will amount to Three Hundred Hol
lers per annum. Nora, we believe, than is
paid by all the rest of the butchers together,
who come to our market.
COAL. —This indispensable article of
fuel is running up rapidly in price, $7 to $8
per ton being now demanded. And it is said
that before the winter is over it will reach
$lO. Many persons acting on this belief
are laying in a large supply now. We can
not ace any good reason for so large an in
crease of the price. Like every thing else,
however, the tendency,of the coal market is
upward. The coining winter bids fair to he
an unusually 11110 one upon the poor.
• SAVE RAGS., PAPER SORA PBoto.lcte.
—People should save their rags, scraps of
paper, etc., as they are'all of value now, and•
can be sold to'advantage. If persons through.
out the country were careful in this respect.;
the price of printing
,paper would in a mea
sure-be—kept down. ; Boys can make their
holiday money by- attention to this matter.
Oki L iiccount books, by taking olf the covers,
envelopes, &c., can be sold. Thi s i s an j un .
fierant matter, more particulary su at the
present time.

MURDER—A • U. S. SOLDIER SHOT
LEAD.—On Friday morning last, between 2
and 3 o'clock,'a soldier, named RAYNOR
CONKLIN, 4vas shot dead by a negro, named
ABE BELL. The circumstances were nearly
as follows: On the night in question, Conk
lin, in company with another soldier, went
to Bell's house,which, enpassant i is one of
the worst sinks of iniquity in our town—
. bawds of both complexions frequenting it.
The soldiers knocked at the door, and were
refused. admission. Having been in the
house on previotid occasions, they insisted
upon going,du now. The inmates still ob
stinately refused to admit thorn, and the
soldiers, becoming exasperated, threw stones
against the door, and threatened to batter it
down. Then the door did open, but imme
diately thereupon the arm of the negro, with
a loaded pistol in hand, was thrust out, and
the weapon discharged. The contents passed
immediately over the shoulder of one of the.
soldiers, (the weapon being . .so close that the;
flash of the powder burned his face and neck
severely,) and lodged in the neck of the
other (Conklin.) The pistol contained about
twenty large duck shot, a. - .d about half of
these entered the jngtilar vein of the deceas•
ed, causing immediate and violent hemmor
ages, which soon resulted in death. Coron r
SMITH was summoned, and an inquest had,,.
whose verdict accorded with the above facts.
CONKLIN was a young man of rather pre,
possessing appearance. His home was at•
1 Patterson, New Jersey, and he had formerly
belonged to the sth New .Jersey volunteers,.
and had left that regiment to enlist in the•
2.1 regular cavalry. AllE. BELL, the mur
derer, is a negro of very bad character,
having, we believe, committed an offehee of.
the same character, in Lancaster county,.
some years ago. Ile admits the killing of
CUNKLIN, but justifies the deed on the plea.
of self-defence. While on this subject, we
might mention the disorderly character and.
general had conduct of these recruits. For
a week or two past, they have been a terror
to our citizens ; carousing through the town.
at all hours of the night, committing all
mintier of depredation WO are glad to•
olive, however, that Capt. ll.ksTrxns has
adopted sterner measures in regard to them,.
and we have no doubt there . wiltbe. a cor.-
responding improvement illtheir deportment.
It would nc I. he amiss, int,her,,to remark-, that
our ' , olive oflicl•rs are very remiss in their
d ,ties. .I:Mr i.I it were otherwise, we would
nut he versed with the very large number of
unli eased dens, where rum and riot hold
their nightly orgies, that now pollute our--
town We hope this tragedy will have the
effeet of awakening those concerned to the
duties they owe the public.
' DEsEnTrn§ AritturiEN - bEn.—We no
ticed, last we,k, the large number of volun
teer coldiers who were absent from their
regiments without leave. The evils which
always follow in the train of this indiscrim
in ,te straggling have already hecom% man
i•fe,t, and indicated a looseness somewhere,
which we felt bound to call attention to. • We-
are gratified to announce that our sugges
tions have had their tired, and already some
eight or ten of these delinquents have been
apprehended, and are on their way to their
re.peetive commands. Several of these men
are really unfit to perform active duty, and
should, and probably will be discharged as
soon as the proper authorities have passed;
upon them. But it is clear that if these men
are permitted to adjudge their own cases,
and tor any trivial cause, to leave their com-
parries, consequences the most ruinous to aIP
dismipline and organization must inevitably
ensue. It is unfair, also, to the men who
halm- - nobly stood' up tb: the periloil* work
thee h ive been engaged in, that others,
under equal obligations, having received
the additional ' , minty paid to the new
levies, and who have dodged the require
ments of military law, should be permitted
to remain at home, unmolested in the enjoy
ment of alf.its comforts, while they are per
rifling lifo and health campaigning in the

A lb:nw r TmuN.—On the day of the
battle oi South Mountain,a temporary halt bud!
been pad e at the base of the mountain. The
fire of the enemy became awful. Gen. Sey-
- mar exclaimed,
" Won't some regiment
aka that height?" Immediately R. Biddle
Zoberts commanded his regiment (the First
Pennsylv..nia Reserves) " FORWARD I" Or—
ward he and his brave men pressed up the
almost perpendicular mountain, over rocks,
the rebels from the top pouring in a deadly
fire, which caused many to roll lifeless to
the valley; but onward the Colonel and the
remainder of the men rushed, and in a few
minutes reached the height. They were- lin
possession of the height; the field was won;
the day was ours ; the enemy were defeated.
and driven in con fusion,with - great slaughter.
It Wlll. be remembered that two of the
Carlisle companies are attached to this gal-
lint regiment. Company "1," Capt. Kauf
