Seventeen rolorod regiments were mustered ont at Nashville on April 26th. Rations for the first quarter of this year, were distributed in Arkansas to 23?,063 whites and 32,955 blacks. JOHN LUTO II ES is in fine health and spirits ?gain; Extra BILLY SMITH has retired to his farm near Warrenton, Va. Ure. JEFT. DAVIS has been to Norfolk io get ?grootries, ?Vc, to keep houso at the fort, and tho people showered upon her preaonts of all kinds, and sent her the choicest bouquets.

SANTA ANNA, the Mexican patriot, is' described as a fine looking gentleman, 68 years of age, with dark brown hair, and apparently enjoying the best of health. The Nowburyport (Mass.)

Ex-Vico-Preaident STEPHENS is eypected back at Washington next week to counsel with his friends upon the reconstruction policy of the President, and tl>o political course of the Demooratic party, to which he is now said to be devotedly attached. GEORGE WARD, the oldest Odd Fellow in the world, died recently at Preston, England. He waa bom in 1789, and Joined tho order of Odd Fel lows in 1815. Ho was one of those who signed the first ''dispensation" which came to America. The cholera has passed from the Duoby of Lux embourg into Holland. Lotters from the Hague mention that it has broken out in eeveral Dutch Towns, and at Rotterdam and Delishaven espe cially. In the former place seven cases occurred on the first day, four ot which terminated fatally. The Senate has postponed the consideration of the nomination of General S. F. CARY as Collector of the Second District of Ohio, upon tho request of many of the leading merchants of Cincinnati, who wish [to be hoard on the subject before final action is taken. THADDEOS STEVENS is a queer old chap; he calls his Radical friends in the S-.nato "self-righteouB Republicans," and ohnrgey Mr. SUMNER with being a consummate pedant, a vain and weary philologist; a vandal in grammar, and a des eera t or of LINDLAY MURRAY; a pompous and exagge rated egotist, and so forth. Mrs. Tuon. CARLYLE, whose sudden demise wo have already mentioned, was buried at Hadding ton, her native place, on the 25th. Ia accordance with the Scottish praotice no service was read, hut Mr. Oi_L?-s threw a handful of oarth on the coffin after it had been deposited in the grave. Mr. TRUMAN, in his late report on the presont condition of the Southern States, oays: "It is my belief that the South-the great substantial and prevailing element-is moro loyal now than it was at the end of the war; more loyal to-day than yesterday, and that it will be more loyal to-mor row than to day." The cattle plague is sensibly declining, and the sensation it has produced in the Provinces con sequently subsiding. It seoms to have been the most terrible in its ravages in the County of Cheshire, on the Western coast. The farmers in that county have lost, it is estimated, some 65,000 head of cattle, valued at ?900,000. Groat efforts have bcon constantly made to relieve tho plague, although thore is much complaint of the want of Parliamentary legislation on the subject. The l'iitt-rnal Revenue Rureau, acting under the general law, requires all citizens of the South to render income- returns for the year l8-, as well as for 1855. Homo of tho rebel officers residing in Alexandria, Va., are startled by the calls of the assessors upon them to furnish the required state ments, and are surprised that the rations received by them in tho Confederate army aro estimated at forty cents per day. One of them expressed his roadioees to pay his taxe? in Confederate money, but this was declined. The Salisbury (N. O.) North State says: "We learn that a riot took placo at Morganton a few days ago, wbloh resultod in the United States regular troops stationed there driving corno re turned negro soldiers from tho town. The nog roes went off with Goneral bTONEUAN at the timo of his raid to Western North Carolina, and joined the Federal army, it seems, have boon mustered out of eervioe reoehtly, and have just roturned to their old homes with lofty notions of their rights. They showed some inaolenco, it is said, at other places, but at Morgauton ii was resented by tho soldiers, wtio drovo the negroes off." The Woman's Bight? Convention, held i te annual mooting in New York on ThurBdav last. Oharac terietio speeches woro mado by Mrs. STANTON, LUOBETIA MOTT, Rev. HKNBT WARD BEECHER, TUBODOIIK TILTON and others. Mrs. STANTON in sisted that women should havo tho right to tho ballot, as well as black men, and be oligiblo to the lightor doBcriptions of work, which woro now monopolized by mon. Sho ought also to ho oligiblo to tho loarnod professions, anti might oven go to Congress. Mr. TILTON likowiao ndvocated womou'a righte to tho eleotivo franchiso, and so did Mr. BEECHER, each in hie peculiar etylo. A Paris lotlor, Bpeaking of tim drainn, tolls tho following Btory of a now play, of a decidedly sen sational character : "A now drama, ontitlod'Tho Lifo and Death of AIIIIAIIAM LINCOLN,' Ima just been pAduced at the Mulhouso theatre. Tho author, Monsieur REDDEN, ukotclica tho martyr Prosidoot'a bumble career in tho Unit act, and hi? barrister'.? experience in the second. lu tho third act Mr. LINCOLN ie at tho Whito House, and BOOTH is a suitor for the hand of his nioco, but, being rofused, becomes bi8 mortal cuomy. The last Bcono depiota tho Frcuuloiit in his box at Ford's tboatro, witnessing tho tragody of * King Lear,' a pistol shot is heard, thou sic semper tyrannis,' BOOTH jumps on the stage," etc. The great families of England, says a corres pondent, on the reform question, give much op portunity for gossip in tho ton. Earl FITZWILLIAM, for instance, ia the House of Lords, is an earnest advooato oi liberal reform, while his hopeful son in the Commons goes ovor to tho opposition. The Westminster family are aleo said to bo at variance, Earl GBOSVENOB having gono directly contrary to tho traditional opinions of his family. Lord DDN KELi.iN, the BOD :.nd heir of tho eminent reformer, the Marque?" uf CLANMCARDE, has spoken against the bill, mr ~la to tho amazomeut and, it is said, angry iuhcation of bia noble fatbor. It is doubt ful, too, whether tho Duke of DEVONSHIRE is will ing to endorso his son, tho Marquis of HARTING TON, in his radical stand in favor of extended suffrago. An ill-natured rumor has it that the O'DoNouortuE, who was up to a lato day an oppo nent of the moasuro, has boen induced to give in his adhosion lo it by tbo offer of au impur tint embassy. ?MT A-1 communications intended for publication in this Journal must be addressed to the Editor o) the Haily Netas, No. l8 Hayr<e- street, Charleston, 8.

Time was when vaccination was considered an invention of the evil one. It was tempt ing Providonco to insure against small pox. The UB9 of lightning rods waa pronounced a heresy that could not be compounded for. Fire insurance in that day was looked at only as a temptation to the house burner. Bat the introduction of umbrellas, ooonn steamers, coal gas, chloroform, and improved machine ry of every kind, wae opposed in precisely the same manner, and by the same staunch ultra conservatives. Bat in all these and a thousand other in stances of the same nature, Truth has event ually triumphed; and Superstition with her multifarious subterfugea been swept away with the dingy cobwebs of the ages. Insur ance of every description has bad to contend with theeo obstacles. Ignorance blindly op poses the new ; superstition finds arguments. Thus in the matter of Life Insurance, there are persons still at this day, and in this en lightened country, who object to insure their lives, because,-they think it is speculating upon death-and that the wioked insurer must therefore meet with an untimely end. This may sound very absurd to some persons and there are perhaps comparatively few with sufficient candor to express such fear, however many may hold the theory in their Booret hearts. The arguments in favor of Life Insurance are so numerous and so self-evident, that we soarooly know where to begin. There are few principles so widely acknowledged as this, that it is the duty of a man to provide for his family. It ia one of the instincts of our common nature. And while life lasts, the husband and father plods and toils, to supply present wants, and provide for future contingencies. This la6t mentioned endeavor is still further fostered by the almost univer sal desire in the human breast, to accumulate property. But an all-wiso Providence has decreed, that riohes are the lot of but com paratively few. The vast majority only "live from hand to mouth." And when life's fitful dream is over, and they are called awry from thoBO they love, their lost hours not uufre qaently are much disquieted by thoughts of the destitute condition in which they are compelled to loave the objects of their affec tion. To meet casca suoh as these, wiso and be nevolent men, many years ago, devised means, whereby a man oould secure a comfortable independence to his family after his death, by annually paying a small premium. This ia a much suror method of accomplishing the end than would be a mere Savings Bank ; in the latter you can withdraw your savings at any time, or you oan cease to deposit ; while in a life insurance company, the contract de mando that your premium be paid annually ; and nothing oan be withdrawn until at your death thoso for whoso benefit the insuranoe ] was tiffeotod rocoivo the sum stipulated. This premium, with au effort, almost every man can manage to pay, and thus seoure not only this sum, above the accidents of temptation, failure in business, and various other contin gencies,-bnt he invests it in the most profit able mannor, where it will yield the largest return. This we will not now stop to elabo rate. This duty performed, a man may say : "Non otnnis mortar," in a sense ne?er con templated by IIoRAfg. Insurance of every other kind is more open to objoction than this. Fires may or may hot ooour, it is e matter of chanco ; so with ma rine and other disasters, for which insurance may be effected. If a man oalonlates on his look, as we know some men do, why, he may } chooso to risk it. But in the subject of life insurance, this is quito othorwieo ; hero death ta one of the parties to tbo contvoot, and the event upon which the contract is based, is Bare and cortain. The ineluc labile fatum must overtako UB all. Thero is. not the slightest danger thoroforo of yoi?,?; paying your per nanum, und your heirs not coming in atsonio time for the amount 'joutraoted. But tbo poet say j; ??AH men think all men mortal but therjBclvos." We havo kuvwn men who could not bo inducod to purchase a lot in tho ceiTjetory, becauso tho thought of "tho last of earth" was unpleasant. It is woll known that many persons neglect mut ing a wi.'il for tho sanio roason. The duty jp readily acknowledged, but procrastination g called in to relievo the poor man of tho un comfortable state of feeling, producod by bo iag reminded of these very impolite subjects. And thus vory ofton a man with the best in tentions in the world fails of making duo provision for his family. Arguments avail not against this apathy, for it is neither justi fied nor defended. It is only by frequent re currence to the subject, that a lasting im pression can be expected to be made. Wo of the South have perhaps been lees in the habit of making such investments than any other people of tho same status of civili zation. And there wero many reasons for it. But now these reasons no longer oxist. Many of us havo been entirely stripped of our worldly possessions. We have nothing left but brawny muscles and willing hearts. It becomes as, therefore, to look about us, and seo where we can make tho most sure and profitable invostmont of tho scanty, hard snved yearly earnings, with a view how best to provide for our families, after our domiec. -?a* THE SMALL POX HOSPITAL. Wo paid n visit, a few dayB ago, to the aforenamed civic institution, situate on the outskirts of the city, on what is known an. the Schutzenplatz; and as it is not likely that many of our readers will shortly go and see this establishment for themselves, we thought a brief account of its operations may not prove uninteresting at this time. Dr. S. C. BEOWN, one of the City Physi oians, took charge of the "Pest Ilouse," (is the place ia very often called,) on tho first day of January. There was at that time but very scanty accommodation for patients, and com plaints were loud and frequent As we did not examine the Hospital at that time, we, of course, cannot say whether these complaints were just or not But soon after Dr. PKI.ZEK took oharge of the Health Department of the oity, there was an entire change in the management of the placo. By the arrange ment made between the Mayor, on the one part, and Surgeon DKWITT, on the other, the United States Government furnishes rations, medicines and hospital stores for this institu tion. The energetio physician in oharge visited the place daily, and saw to the com fort of his patients, and so successful has this exemplary administration proved in the re sults of the hospital practice, that it must re flect the highest oredit on the physician who was instrumental in introducing such a laud able reform. The grounds and buildings are admirably adapted for the purpose, and are by no means as muoh damaged as we were led to suppose by a report on the subject, recently laid be fore City Council. The main building has two floors,-the upper one a ball room once, ia now a largo ward, filled with rows of bed steads, covered with comfortable bedding. There is another ward down stairs, where the nine-pin alley gives proof of the changed deeti ny of the place. A well arranged dispensary, under the charge of the -Steward, Mr. REIO, is in an adjoining room, where our old friend, Mr. KAMLAII, used to dispense his more palu table physio. The rooms aro kopt c1 eau, and well ventilated; and while it is, of course, not a desirable fate for the Schutzenplatz to serve as Small Pox Hospita), it is unquestion ably the best locality in and about Charles ton that oould have been procured. It ia pretty generally known, we presume, that there has been a good deal of small pox here during the past six months. The disease, however, has abated very considerably, and there are very few new oases now ooourring, and, in the course of another month, we should not be surprised to leam that the lost patient had boen dismissed from the Schutzen platz, and that Dr. PELZER had olosed |its gates. Before proceeding to the statistics we must remind our readers that the oases treated in this Hospital, with very few exceptions, have been paupers,-a large majority of them homeless colored refugees, whose constitution was muoh impaired by want and hardships in its varied forms. That the mortality, under these circumstances, should have been so Blight, is no small oredit to the surgeon.in oharge. The number treated in this Hospital, from January 1, 18C6, to May 1, 1866, ia 522; deaths 119. Of these cases 251 are marked "mild," [whiob, from the absence of all dis tinctions in the report between variola and varioloid, may be considered to embrace the milder types of both,] and 271 cases are marked "confluent." . Dr. BROWN'S observations on tho virtue of vaccination as a prophylaotio are interesting,' and will doubtless prove startling to many. Of 256 patients known to have boen success fully vaccinated prior to the attack, 21 died (over 8 per cent.) There were 194 oases known not to have been successfully vaccinat ed prior to the attack. . Of these 72 died (37 per cent.} There are many more pointe of -ntarest in viting notice, but we have perhaps already trespassod too muoh upon the patienoe of our unprofessional readora, and will therefore ttmolude for this time.
