TREATMENT OF SCARLET FEvER-
IMPORTANT PREscRIPTIoN.- DR..
Lindsly, Of Washington city, in q
letter to the Boston Medical and
Chirurgical Journal, strongly recon-
mends the mode Of treatment Of scar

"TREArMENT OF SCARLET FEVER
BY INUNcTIoN.-From the first day
of the illness, and as soon as we are
certain ofits nature, the patient must
be rubbed morning and evening over
the whole body with piece Of ba-
con, in such a manner that, with
The exception ofihe head, a covering
of fats everywhere applied. In or
Ter to make this rubbing in somewhat
easier, it is best to take a piece Of ba-

part still armed with the riud, that
We may have firm grasp. On the
Iolt side of this piece Sits are to Be
made, IN order to allow the oozing

From san Fra.es.es.
NEW YoRK. Nov. d.

NEW I oRK, NOV. II.
The steamer Crescent City, with
dates from San Francisco to the 18th,
arrived this evening with $50 passen-
gers, S50O,OO0 in the hands Of pas
sengers and Sl,l00, 900 on freight.
The cholera was raging terribly at
Port Royal and at Jamaica. 1000
had died in three weeks at Kingston.
and 600 in the interior. The news
OF the admission OF California into
the Union was received with general
satisfaction. The news from the
mines is of a mixed description
wherever tbe Q streams have been
damned a plentiful yield has been
the result, but several of the dams
have recently given way, in conse-
quence OF the rising of the waters,
and the labor of months has thus
been rendered fruiiless. Gold-bear-
ing quartz continues TO be discover
ed, and this in the end will form the
great resource OF the miners when
surface gold fails.
The news from the overland emf
grants is most distressing. 1t was
estimated that 10000 persons were
behind the desert journeying to Cali
fornia, large portion Of whom were
destitute Of provisions. The choIe-
ra had broken out among the emf
grants, and was carrying them off
with dreadful rapidity. The expe-
diency OF making a requisition on
the Collector OF this port for an ad-
vance OF 100000 has been suggest
ed and il is probable the citizens
will resort to this means Of alleviat-
ing the terrible distress Of which the
accounts reach US day by day. The
resources OF private beneyolence are
exhausted, and it is but right the
government should afford assistance.
A report prevailed few days be-
fore the sailing of the steamer that
the cholera had made its appearance
in San Francisco. This, however, is
positively contradicted by the city
papers. The people in large num-
bers are leaving San Francisco. as
fast as the$ can get away, on their
return to the United States.

Excitement i'm Boston.

The excitement in the city OF Bos-
ton on the subject Of slavery. imme-
diately occasioned by tho passage OF
the Fugitive Slave Bill, and the at
tempt to carry out the laws and re-
take fugitives under it, has been
great. The opponents Of the law
those opposed TO IFS execution, seem
to have had matters their own way,
and one might suppose from the re-
ports afioat that Free Soilism and
Modification embraced large ma
iority of the city of notions. The
late election proves any thing but
that. But Abolitionism met with a
slight check there the other day.
A meeting in Faneuil Hall, got
up by the Abolitionists TO give pub
lie reception to Thompson, an Eng
lish Abolitionst, who has just arrived
in this country, broke up in a row
The speakers, Garrison, Quincy,
Thompson. Fred. Douglass, (negro,,
&C., were Kissed down, and com
PEELED to adjourn the meeting. These
fanatics were not easily put down
A friend who was present writes u:
that "no account he has seen in print
begins to come up TO the mark"
We hardly like this way Of break
ing up even such meetings, but the
provocation had been great. A few
dozen Of fanatics have, by joining
with the negro population, OF late
drawn attention 10 that city in q
way which every one who feels a
proper pride in the city, would be
glad to evade.

near Blairsville.
A pitched battle was deliberately re-
solved upon-the parties advanced
armed with guns, pistols, clubs, &C.
AT the first fire four fell dead, several
wounded, end some mortally. A charge
was then made and one of the parties
routed. At last dates the military were
ordered out, but none of the rioters had

The REvERsIoN OF TRADE.-We
learn that an order was sent day OF
two since, by one of the largest milling
establishments in this city to Cincinnati
for wheat. The order read thus: "At
present prices, purchase for United
States from 10000 to $4,000 bushels OF
wheat" Should the order be filled, and
the grain shipped this will be truly a
reversion of trade. Last year, and for
several years previous, large quantities
of wheat and -four have been shipped
from this city to the Ohio river, and last
season over 100 900 bushels must have
gone in that direction.

AuNeHAM is one of the best of comman-

The superior accommodations of the

SwALLows.-A correspondent OF
the Eve. Post says: "Some months
ago there appeared in your paper
two or three communications upon
the subject Of swallows disappearing
under the water on the approach
oI cold weather; and lately meeting
the following extract in the course
of my reading, it occurred to me
to send it to you. 1t is from the
writings of Huet, a French author,
who died in l72I. He also mentions
an odd fact, which may be unknown
to you, for the truth Of which, how
ever, | am not prepared to hold my
self responsible: r. .-
"SwalIows in Sweden, at the ap-
proach Of cold weather, plunge into
the lakes, and remain there asleep,
and buried under the ice, till the re-
turn Of spring. Then, awakened by
the returning heat, they leave the
water and resume their usual flight.
While the lakes are frozen, il the ice
be broken in certain places, which
appear darker than others, the swal-
lows are found in great quantities,
cold, asleep, and half dead. II they
are taken out and warmed by the
hands, or before the fire, they soon
begin TO exhibit signs of lie: they
stretch themselves out, shake them
selves, and soon fly away. In other
places, they retire into the caves,
and under the rocks. Between the
town of Caen and the sea along the
banks Of the Orne, there are many Of
these caverns, where, during the win
ter, clusters of swallows have been
found suspended, like lunches Of
grapes, from the roof Of the cavern.
The same thing has been long ago
observed in Italy"

MAssAcHUsErTs.-Only three of
the ten Congressman were elected in
this State at the recent election
Appleton and Fowler, Wings, and
Mann, Free Soil. In seven districts
no choice. The chance for Wing
Governor is not good, although
Briggs, the Wing candidate, has a
plurality of 10000 or 10000 over
either Of his opponents. In case OF
no election OF Governor by the peo-
pie, the lower House sends up to the
Senate the names of the four candi-
dates receiving the hinhest number
of votes, from which the Senate
chooses the Governor. We make
the following extract from a letter
TO the editor, dated Boston, Nov. IL:
The Wings of Massachusetts are bea-
ten this year. The opposition will have
a majority of the Senators. and thus far
they have elected the most representa-
tives to the lower house, but there are
yet so many vacancies TO be filled on
the fourth Monday of this month, that
the character Of the house will not be
determined until after the election that
takes place on that day. | have no
doubt that determined effort, on the
part of the Wings would secure TO them
a majority, but | fear that they will not
make such an effort. If we can secure
the house, The opposition will find that
they have effected most barren victory,
for we can prevent the election of any
other man than Winthrop TO the U. s.
Senate, and perhaps compell the Senate
to choose between two Wings for Gov
ernor Of Massachusetts. In the event
of the opposition having a majority OF
both houses, we have nothing TO hope
for except that the discordant material
of which they are composed, may pro-
duce disunion among themselves.

We gather the following statisti-
cal information relative to the Indi-
ana State Prison, from the Louis
vile Democraf, Of Thursday
From September, 1922. up to the
present time. one thousand one hun
dred and thirty-six convicts have
been received at the State Prison.
Of this number, 545 have been dis
charged by expiration Of sentence,
and 237 pardoned by the Governor.
One hundred and :wenty-one have
died in prison. ,Seventy-six made
their escape. and have never been
retaken. Thirteen were discharged
by the Supreme Court.
There are at this time l45 convicts
at the prison, busily engaged, do
ing the state good service.
The history Of some Of these Grim
inals is strange enough, and would
afford richer lessons Of life than all
the fictions and romances Of the
age.
One, feble old man, is now serv-
ing out a sentence for larceny. His
name is Samuel Worle, and this is
the sixth time he has been sent there
for the same offense. Each theft was
of some triAing value, yet sufficient
to send him TO the penitentiary,
where be has spent a large portion
of his life. He is now in the last
stage of consumption, and will. ere
many days, be released from all
trouble, by the terminatian OF an
unfortunate existence.
