9sCattle Disease -" Black 1Ongue.'
Mr. Editor The disease prevailing to such an alarm
ing extent in Florida for time past has made its APP
pearance in different parts of our District Nearly
half of my stock is and has been affected by it. AS yet
none have died. We have however, discontinued the
use of them altogether, and ask in your columns space
for the following paragraphs which clip from the
Charleston Mercury and taken from the Savannah Re
publican:
We learn that the cattle disease has made it's ap-
pearance in the lower part of bingham and the upper
part of Chatham county, but few cattle have died from
it, as washing the mouth with turpentne the disease
quickly disappears. In the neghborhoods where has
made its appearance the inhabitants have quit eating
beef. In Buloch county, man having cut his
hand was washing the mouths of cattle when he
unfortunately allowed of the saliva from the mouth
of cow to get into the wound when it acted like poi
son. The person grew very i'll from the effects OF it,
and at last accounts his recovery very doubtful
As spirits of turpentne has proved eecual remedy
in numerous cases, the press generally would be doing
the public service by making a note of the fact
Query-If the above is true lin reference to its pois
onous effects &c) is not likely that all the secreons
and the entire beast is affected? And if so, would it
not be prudent in all to keep the safe sde by discon
tnuing the of them in every way until the infection
disappears?
1t seems that the carton crows have taught lesson
on this point, | informed they do not partake of
the dead carcase and [ can assure you that did not
see one of them (carrion crows while in Florida. A
word to the wise is sufficient Yours, &C.,

We understand that the Secretary of the Navy has
appointed Captain Wilkes, Chief Engineers Hunt and
Martin and Constructor Pack on the commission to ex
anime Deep River valley under the late resolution of the
Senate. They are to rendezvous in Washington and
will probably get out to North Carolina in about week
from this date We need hardly say that those of our
citizens here and elsewhere who feel interest in this
matter ought to be hand and prepared to show to
the Commissioners the claims which the Deep River
valley really possess Unless We much deceived,
these claims equal if not superior to those of any
other location in the Union, and if know the gentle
men of the commission as we think we do, they will re-
ceive full justice at their hands We know Captain
Wilkes personally, having boarded at the same hotel
with him for some months in Charlotte in 1848 in the
neghborhood Of which place he then had certain mining
interests. We know him to be gentleman of fine sense
and certainly not inimca to North Carolina, but the
reverse.
We feel satisfied that the commission is an able one
and so far as we can judge its members favouraby
inclined towards State-that u.s. they have no pre-
udice against u.s. and fully prepared to do us justice
which is all we want or expect.

since which time Mrs. Folger has resided with

Mrs Folger was n consistent and exemplary
member of the Society of Friends, and retained

dress and manners, and equanimity Of mind,
which so much characterize and distinguish that

She was emphatically one CT the excellent

nevoent in heart, distinguished by constant acts
of disinterested kindness, shedding around her,
ever, a genial and pleasing influence
She had long contemplated death as near
at hand, anticipated that her departure, as it
proved, would be sudden, and we are sure that
death neither took her by surprise nor unpre-

The Murder Case at CoIuIabus.

Tic homicide at Columbus on Sunday was
a strange as well as sad one. The preliminary
examination of Seibel, Fronenberger, Fulke
ana Ginter for the murder OF Henry Korrell, be-
fore Mayor English, resulted in the commit
ment of the four to answer TO the charge of
murder in the first degree. The testimony
disclosed a most wanton and cruel murder, in
open day, and without the slightest prOvOcatiOn
by the victim of liquor and iendish passion.
They jumped from tae wagon and commenced
the attack without saying word to KOrrell
AMI the persons with them and he had been in
no way connected with the difficulty at the pic
mic earlier IN the afternoon. After Siebel had
stabbed Korrell, Fronenberger struck hun on
the head with stone. Fulke also used stone.
Ginter drove the wagon, and the testimony
shows that he only aided and abetted by hold
ing the horses.
SeibeI is between 40 and so years of age
the Others younger. They appeared Indifferent
as to the result Of the examination The crowd
in attendance was very large, and much excite
ment prevailed The Fact says "a the accused,
attended by large crowd, and weeping wives
and children, were remanded to prison.
The funeral of young KOrreH was one Of the
largest ever seen in Columbus Over two
thousand persons were in the procession, which
was led by Goodman's Band, and the various
fire companies of the city.

P.n.ho,n.nd NE Ioraiu sheriff.

Wenoticed recently the action of the Lorain
CJurt in regard to T. PangbOrn, of Elyria, who
made his escape from the Sheriff after convic-
ton. but before sentence, for violation of the
liquor law. The Elyria Democrat of this week
states that an episode has occurred which has
awakened new interest in the case, and thus
relates it:
Sheriff Lincoln, while returning from New
burgh, learned that Tim was in Cleveland, and
having the order of arrest, he went in pursuit
of him He found him at one Of the Livery
Stables in the city, and made known his busl-
ness. Tim refused to obey the wit, and
claimed that the matter was all arranged, and
that he was going to Elyria that evening. The
Sheriff replied that he was not aware that the
arrangement had been effected, and insisted up
on his obeying the order OF arrest. This Tim
refused 70 do, and when the Sheriff laid hold Of
him to enforce the order, Tim struck him
powerful blow with his fist, which nearly pros
traled him; and finding it useless to attempt to
arrest him, he left and came home-Tim fol-
lowing in a carriage in the evening. The Sher-
if made complaint against him, for resisting an
Officer, in the discharge Of his duty, and last
Friday evening, Officer Macarthur, Of Cleve-
land, arrested him. and took him to Cleveland
The trial takes place to-day.
