Small-Pox.

The Enquirer urges upon every soldier in Virginia the great importance of resorting in time to the preventive remedy of small-pox, one of the scourges of armies in all countries. The disease is said to prevail to some extent in the United States army, and its appearance among our troops at any time need not surprise us. We do not suppose that there is now a case in the whole Confederate army, but without due precaution, we cannot expect to be exempt from the loathsome disease for any considerable time. Every man who has not the mark of vaccination upon his person, should at once avail himself of the sure preventive, an ounce of which is worth a pound of cure.
