The Daily Dispatch: September 18, 1861., [Electronic resource], Our Correspondence. (search)
e of their number prisoners in our hands, so complete was the surprise. The skirmish was as hot, considering the numbers engaged, as such things generally get. Justice. September 11th, 1861. Typhoid fever in the camps. Manassa Junction, Sept. 11, 1861. Messrs. Editors: The immediate cause of the prevailing low grade of fever among the soldiers is breathing the bad air (carbonic acid) in tents which are not well ventilated. The tents are constructed generally with only one door. The impure gasses will not escape from the tents by simply raising the canvas at the bottom of the tents — the usual way of ventilating them. There should be an ample opening near the top of the tent, opposite the door, which should remain open, unless in case of storms. Unless this suggestion is heeded, and immediately acted upon, the camp fever will prevail and increase, as the tents will be kept closer as the cold weather approaches. J. Stone, Ass't Surg'n 15th Reg. Ga. Vols.
