HOSPITAL GANGRENE. Matrox Hospital, Marion, Ala., Oct. 17. Of all the diseases that are destruc tive .of human life. I know of none that presents a more hideous aspect or is more intolerable to its victim than that which is known to this medical profession as Hospi tal Gangrene so called from its frequent ocean ance or probable origin in military hospitals. The sctud destruction and eating away of ilesh, muscles, sinews, veins and arteries, whose progress is visi ble to the eye, afford':! picture of horror that is sickening and shocking even to rtie experienced physician. This mass of suf fering and putrefaction will soou become a corpse, to be transferred from the hospi tal to the private soldier's lone!' burial ground, unless the work of death is speed ily arrested and baffled. Fortunately for ifs present and fnture sntferers, I think, from what 1 have wit nessed in this hospital, there is a method of treating it which will inevitably cure it, if it is commenced before any large vital artery has been destroyed. I have seen more than ouo case restored to life and comparative health, of whose recovery gentlemen of large professional skill and practice ha'd entirely despaired. I do not know who deserves the credit of originat ing live treatment, but the merits of its introduction into this hospital is cheerfully accorded by its nredical stalf to Assistant Surgeon John jS. Jlolmau, of Marion, Mississippi. So uniformly successful has he been (not having lost one case) that, by com mon consent, every case of gangrene is committed to his care. I take pleasure .in recording this fact, as it is equally credita ble to the science and skill of an accom plished', zealous young physician, aud to ; the- candor and liberality ot his proies- sional brethren. As a lover of and a friend of the' soldier, I deem it mv duty to give publicity to his method of managing rt, to the emcacy ot which every one here can testily. At the same time it is agreeable to bring before the public the name of a gentleman who could not enjoy that " thrift which follows fawning," and who only aspires to reputa tion and position by the faithful discharge of his duty and by an independent, honor able life. Such men arc rare 'and should be cherished. lie has had the kindness, at my solicitation to give mo the following in writing, lrusting Uiat it may bo tried in other hospitals. I. have no fear in pre dicting the iiifalliblo curative power, if anything ot mortal birth deserves thatap peliation : . . The wound is first cleansed with warm water. Then make' a solution of chloride of zinc, in the proportion of three drachms to an ounce ot water, the wound is then thoroughly packed with pledgets of lint perfectly saturated with the solution. The pledgets are allowed to remain three or tour Hours ; tney are then removed and new ones applied m the same way. If this course is rigidly pursued, it is very i .it . i . i seiuom mat more man one or two ares- smgs are required. j.ne solid buck or crystal of chloride of zinc is to be prefer red, if every "part of the wound could be reached by it, but owing to this uncer tainty, aud the difficulty of procurfng it, jt is always best and most certain to apply the solution. This treatment, with the occasional application of chlorinated soda, (Larrabaqnes s solution,) and with full diet, (whatever the patient, wishes,) has arrest-, ed and will cure the very worst cases. The protracted application of the caustic, as above, directed, is all important. The 'simple mopping of the wound will not do. Tbe use of turpentine, creosote and other articles of tln3 class is useless and unreliable, because they divert the atten tion of the physician from more active re medies, to which he must ultimately resort. No hospital need be without this chloride of zinc. MrJ G. P. L. Reed, one of the dispensary stewards of this hospital, who is very proficient as a practical chem ist ana a clever gentleman, informs mo that it can be made in the followiei? man ner. The formula, ho tells ma, can bo 1 ; insists that her ci'ievanc on tl,e ci that the whole bodv politic n a P of to tempt (..U.ncT--i alL-- rr -rtTr-.V mO,. n13 Dill fonncl in every Phnrmaccepia. l am no chemist myself, but have nodotfbteMto so easily, prepared that ml hoj'tal. .jeefl bewithout it.'

It is owing main ly to their delight in out door exercise thnt the' elevated classes in England reach a patriarchal age, notwithstanding their hab its of high living, of late hurs, or' wine drinking and many othr health-destroying agencies; the death of their generals, their lords, their carls, and their dukes, are chronicled almost every week, at '70, 80 and 90 years ; it is because they will be on horseback, the most elegant, rational, and accomplished of all forms of mere ex ercise, both for sons and daughters. But the whole credit of longevity to these clas ses must not be giverj to their loye of field sports; it must be divided with the other not less charcteristic traits of an English nobleman he will take tho world easv; and could we, as a people, persuade our-; selves to do the same thing habitually, it would add ten years to the average of hu- mau life, and save many a brokeu fortuno and broken constitutiou.- -HalVs Journal of Health. Sweet Potatoes. This crop may be dug the latter part of the month, as soon as the vines are wilted by the first frost. When the frost comes on very late they can be dug when ripe, which is thus indi cated : Pull several potatoes from differ eni parts of yo.nr patch, break them, and give them time to dry, and if. tho fresh broken part dry over perfectly white, the potato is ripe and should be dug; but if of a darkish hue, the potato is not ripe, and should be left to ripen. PuE'np your potatoes in small banks of 25 or 3Q'bnsh els, rejecting all cut or bruised roots. Let the foundation of the bank bo a foot or more higher than the surrounding sur face, so tho water may not stand. . Put up your potatoes dry and protect them, by an internal coat of pine straw and corn stalks, with a good thick external one ot earth, from frost, leaving a small vent at the top, covered with a littie straw, nntil cold weather comes on ; some, however, cover entirely at once. A few planks should be arranged over the banks to carry off the rain. Southern Cultivator. ' Nothing all Daek.

Regt - At a public meeting held in the infantry camps near Baldwin, East Florida, on the lUta of "October, ISM, On motion of Col. McCummick, Colonel P. Turn cy was called to the Chair.'and, on motion of Serg't Rouse, Col. McCo'mmick was appointed Secretary ; when, on motion of Serg't Rouse, a committee of five consisting of Copt S. F. Row, of the 2d Flor ida cavalry ; Capt. J. B Spencer, Capt J. H. Bry an, and Sort Rouse, of the infautry,.and Lieutenant Allen, of Abel's light artillery was appointed to draft resolutions tor the consideration of the meet ing ; and, on motion of the Secretary, the Chairman was added to the committee. The committee, after having retired for a short time, returned, .and, through their Chairman, sub mitted the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adoplbd : Vv'uekkap, the policy and propriety of enlisting negroes as soldies iu the Confederate armits is now being discussed and advocated by some of the news papers in the laud, we, as soldiers, feel, impressed loan expression of opinion upon the subject; and, therefore, 1. Resolved, That in our opinion such a plan is impolitic, unnecessary, aud ruinous to our cause; that while we are willing to see negroes employed as teamsters, cooks, laborers in the quartermasters and commissary departments and other menial po sitions, we are uow, and always opposod to having arms placed in their hands. 2. Arming of negroes would only 'add to the num ber to be itd and clothed by the government, with out giving any additional strength to the effective ness of the armies. 3. The position of the Confederate soldier is hon orable, responsible and digniuud, and should not be degraded by placing the negroe by his side. 4 We believe the pollicy proposed, if carried out, will result in causing an hunted iold more desertions' than ever has been in our ariiries. . 5. We have no confidence whatever in the pride or courage of anegro, keeping him in the discharge of his duties as a soidior. We are of the opinion thai a large majority of them would desert, ar.d we ask the advocates of the measure if they are willing, to trust them with, the out post duty, now requiring a large proportion of our army on every line. 6. The measure is the initiation of abolitionism ; is the beginning of the overthrow of every principle upon which we are defending ourselves -against the usurpations of the United States government If. once introduced, it will result in the obliteration of every difference in principle between the two con tending governments, and reduce tbe war to Che sin gio issue of men without respect to measures. 7. The prospects of tne Contederate Ciuse are brightening; and we have full confidence in the steady arm und bravt spirit of the Confederate sol diery it can and will whip the light if allowed to continue on principle. 8. That our armies are greatly depleted ; but this C5n be vastly remedied by purging the Commissary ar.d Quartermaster departments of the able-bodied nun ; returning detailed men to their commands, and revoking thousands of unnecessary exemptions. There are entirely too many able-bodied white men in .-oft places for the argument of exhaustion of men to hold good. . ; 9.

Tha grand test of the twenty inch Rodman gun at Fort Ham ilton, od Wednesday proved to be an entire success. At the hour announced, 12 o'clock, for the first loading of the heaviest piece of ordnance in the m orld, the parapets of the fort were thronged with distinguished officers and ladies and gentlemen, all anxious to witness the trial of the great gun. Considerable delay was experienced in the proper adjustment of tbe piece, as it was not until half -past two o'clock the first discharge, blank cart ridge of one hundred pounds of powder was fired. The concussion following the discharge was slignt, and the recoil of the gun much less than was antic ipated. The piece was next loaded with a charge of fifty pounds of powior and a- thousand pound shell. The time taken in loading was about half an hour. The second trial was as successful as the first, the ball, in consequence of considerable depression ot the gun, striking the water at a quarter of a mile distance, recoiling several times.. The gun, on ex amination, being found to have received no strain, preparations were made for the final test At 5 o'clock tho piece was again loaded with a charge of one hundred pounds of powder and a ball weighing one thousand and eighty -pounds one of the largest ordnance projectiles eVer cast. Owing to tho lather impromptu arrangements for Taising the ball, it was found to be anything but an easy task to adjust it However, at the hour mentioned, , the piece was loaded, and every body stood clear for the last grand trial. The gun was raised t6 an elevation of twenty-fivo degrees, and the dischargo Was deaf ening. The ball was twenty-four seconds in the air, and fell at a distance of about three miles and a half. Considerable applause followed the final shot, and all concerned in the management of the piece were warmly congratulated. The following are the di mensions of this last great achievement of Captain Rodman: weight of of gun 116,497 pounds; length 21 feet ; bore 20 inches; usual charge of powder fott pounds ; average weight of ball 1)00 pounds.

Life, with its laities and sorrows, lies fur behind them ; the soul has thrown . olF- us armor, and sits in an evening undress of calm and holy leisure. Thrice blessed the family or neighborhood that numbers among it one of those not yet ascended saints ! " A pair of scales before him, a rich man' sat and weighed- A piec-j of gold a widow's all, and unto her he said: "" Your coin is not the proper weight, so take it back agiin. Or seh it mo for half its worth ; it lacks a single cram. - With tearful eyes the Vyidow said : " Oh 1 weigh it, sir, once more : I pray -j ou be not so exact, or drive me from your dor." r.. " Why I see yourself, it's under weight!" your tears are no avail. . , The sedoud time he tries it, it bears down the scale ; But little guessed that rich man, who held his gold so dear, - That the ex era weight which bore it down had been the widow's tear." The Louisville Journal makes a good Suggestion ; one, however, like many good suggestions to the same party, little likely to bo carried.- Says the Journal: " If the Administration wants to mako any more arbitrary arrests, let it arrest Lee, Beau-. regard & Co, just as arbitrarily as it pleases." A boy of eighteen, named Ends, employed in the quartermaster s department at LNasbviile, has ob tained Ufiy thousand dollars by forgery and. de camped. On'e Wat to Grow Rich. Nothing ia more easy than to grow rich. It is to. trusr uo'jody : to be friend none ; to heap interest upon interest ; cent uuorv cent u ic.si.roy all tne nner leeling'ol nature, und be' rendered mean, miserable and despised, for some twenty or thirtv years,, and riches will come as sure as disease, disappointment and a miserable death. - God only knows who is the greatest-sirtner, but every bumbto sinner will think that he is the man. - ' " A Parisian physician relates a curious case of poisoning by tobacco. A man had wrapped tobacco leaves aroun J tis body on toe naked skin, in order to smuggle the article across the frontier, but the perspiration caused by walking in hot weather gave rise to the absorption of the active principle of the tobacco through the skin, which led to dangerous symptoms. - , . . Fattenisb Poultry. It is asserted in the "Trans actions of the Society of Arts " that there is a great advantage in lattening. geese, turkeys, and, in short, fowls, of every discription, on potatoes mixed with meat:" On this diet they are said to fatten in less than one-half the time ordinarily required to ennghem to the same condition of 4 excellence" on any kind of corn, or even meal itself. The pota toes must be boiled and mashed fine while they are hot, and the meat Added, just before the'lood ia to be presenitd. . , Earthquake in the North op England. Be tween twelve and one o clock on Mondav mornimr. September 28, there was a 6hock of earthquake in the North of England.- At Leeds, Skipton, Silsdon, Rochdale, Hebden Bridge, Manchester and other piaces, the peculiar sensation resulting from the shock was teit. in-some places persons were awaken ed by the general tremor and various decriptions of tne phenomenon are given, some comparing it to thunder felt but not heard, others to shaking and rocking. Religion ia not only a ruler in the soul, but also a cheeilal companion through lite. . Several of tho London theatres have been opened ior religious worsnip on sunaays.
