Err RABID ANIMAL.

This is the remedy used successfully by
the late DR.. Isaac Alexander of Camden.
The writer of this had dog cured, that
was body bitten in his presence bya mad
dog. In order to inspire contidencein this
receipt, l will write off the circumstances:
In February, 1862, resided in Camden,
and mad dogs were very common; l had
favorite dog which l observed acted ve-
ry restlessly, but was still fond of me and
obedent; he was following me round Cap
tain Isaac DuBose's lot, where the Captain
had pet Eagle; the eagle made noise,
and my dog (though small one) j!mpcd
high fence, seized Tie eagle AID tore i!
to pieces.
This alarmed me and Immediately turn
ed back for home. When entered the
the yard, my dog jumped on small puppy
and bit him badly. then went with TIE
dog Immediately to Dr.. Isaac Alexander,
to have his opiaion. While in convcrsa-
lion with him about the dog, the Doctor
had small puppy that came up, and my
dog jumped on him and bit him, and the
doctor prom ounced my dog mad. I then
told him that my famous bull puppy had
just been bitten by that dog. lie replied
that he would cure him for me, and there
was no danger, and to prove the certainty
of the cure, he would put up his puppy,
about which he did not carc--on The ninth
day his puppy went raging mad He
cured my puppy, which lived several years
afterwards, and never went mad. There
arc several persons, who live in and about
Camden, that must still rccolsect. DR.. Isaac

AN OLD FARMER.

THE Spanish Blood Hounds-The wings
have been profuse in their denunciations
of the Administration for having sent to
Cuba for bIoodhounds 10 hunt down the
murderous Seminolcs of Florida. They
supposed they had discovered a new sub
iect from which "political capital" might
be advantageously raised. and proftably
used; but it turns out that the Secretary Of
War had no hand in the bust ess, and
knew nothing about it except from rumor.
The Washington Globe of the 24Ih ult.
SAYS, 1--WE have ascortained that the War
Department is only acquainted with The
circumstances through public rumor, and
knows nothing OF the matter officially. 1t
does not surprise us that the inhabitants
of country, which has been SO cruelty
desoIated, and when every hearthstone is
sprinkled with blood, should resort to any
ina ginable means to protect their families
from the prowliug and murdcrous savagcs.

CONGRESS-.
for the work

There appears to be very little ding in
either House Of Congress. The Senate,
since the adoption of MIR. JonNsoN's Reso-
Iuions;in tho House, has become the arena
for the discussion Of the abolition question.
On tie 18th inst. MIR. CLAY presented
the pet;lon of one MICHAEL II. BARTON,
"praying the abolition of slavery" Upon
The question of lis reception, along debate
ensucd, in which the whole day was con-
,umed. The motion to receive was final
Iy laid on the table. The course Of Mr..
TAprAN (brother to ARTHUR, We believe.
Senator from Ohio, ana successor to the
incendiary MORRIS, is" orlhy of all praise.
liz had been charged with bundle oflhese
petitions, and the mode he adopted, was
simply to inform the Senate of the fact,
in doing which he took occasion to vindi-
cate himself nobly from the slanderous
charge which had been urged against him,
that lie was an abulitionist. He refused to
present the petitions. The discussion in
this body still continues on the report OF
the committee on the subjcc: OF the State
Debts.
The House of Representatives are dis
cussing matters and things in general; and
i, is a remarkable fact, that in all their pro
ccedings, in every speech which is made
almost without exception, DEPRESSION
from the subject is inevitable to some mat
ter connected with the Presidential elec-
ton. No matter what question is started,
it is sure to terminate, if it terminates at
all, in a hook upon which to hang an elec-
tioneering speech for one or the other cam
didates for the Presidency. Indeed, it
would seem from cursory glance at the
proceedings of both Houses, that the
members considered it :heir main bust
ness to make President, instead Of atten-
ding to the legislation Of the country
They never appear to remember that the
peoplc have any thing to do with the mat
ter. If they would attend to the duties for
which they were elected, and leave the
Presidential and other questions with
which they have as little to do, to their
constituents, we might expect wiser legis-
lation, shorter sessions, and more pros
porous state Of affairs.

We are indebted to the Hon. THOMAS
D. SUMTER, our Representative in Con-
gress, for various public documents.
We are also Indebted to the Hon. S. II.
Butler, for pamphlet copy of his speech
on the abolition question. We will cn!ea-
vor to lay it before our readers next week.
The Pcndlcton Messenger, in noticing
the nomination of the Hon. j. p. Rich,
ArDsoN for the Office Of Governor, holds
the following language, in reference 10 our
old party divisions:
"W confess too, that we should like 10
see some evidence Of general amnesty by
the old Union party, i'll the choice OF some
the opposition party to the Legislature from
the districts where they have held The as
ccndancy. The notification districts have
n MANY cases set the example of clectine
their old opponents, but if it has been iol-
lowed in single instance by the Union
districts, we cannot call il to mind"
The Messenger must have noticed very
specifically, the current Of events, not to
be able to call to mind Il single instance,
IN which the old Union party have SET the
example, which the editor says he should
like to sec. In this district, the majority
in favor of the Union party was as decided
as perhaps any other in the State and party
spirit ragged as fercely, and yet here, Of
three Representatives two of them are Of
the Notification party. In the adjoining
district of Chesterfield, where the same
remark with respect to the strength ofpar-
ties is equally applicable, out of t,ro men,
bers to the House of Representatives, orc
is Eullifer. This Congressional Dis
trict too, always heretofore represented
by Union man, and in which the Union
party held no doubtful asccndancy, now
sends Nullifer to Congress, showing a
liberaity on the part of Union men which
ought, we think, to satisfy the Messenger.
While on this subject, we may add, that
we do not recollect a single instance where
a Nullifer HIS failed to be elected to Office
in any district, where the Union party had
the ascendancy, simply because he was
Nulifer. Numerous instances of their
election to Offices other than that of Rep
resentative, are fresh in our recollection.
In this District, since the adjustment in re-
lation to the oath of allegiance, at the Le-
gislature of 1884, we have never known
the existence of the Notification and u
nion parties, as such, bu, all seemed de-
to try who should soonest forget
that any such division ever existed.
