10 the month and tongue, arc all the cura-
tive remedies We have heard recommended
These consist of copperas and water, fish
brine, end alum wRter--verv proper if TN,
disease was local, but this is not the
cnsc.
The first appearance of disease in some
eases Is an liberated tongue, in others ulcers
on the udder, lameness and stiffness of the
tore legs, running ut the nose and mouth,
&c. The animal soon ceases to eat. and
dies in six or eight days. There is a bjsb
degree Of inflammation existing, as indicated
by the pulse
ihe disease has been for some time. and
is still, prevailing in Florida, Georgia, Ala.
oama, and We believe Mississippi. In Flor.
IDA the ghophcrs are also d, ing with II.
There can be no doubt but detergent
washes to the mouth and throat are of
much benefit to the afflicted cattle, but hat
more general remedies are necessary is Ger.
tMn. From the highly inflamat,ry nature
OF the diseuse, bleeding and catbartics are
clearly indicated. These, with n lioeral
use OF detergent washes, composed of cop
peras aud alum water, with fish brine, &c =.
are perhaps the best remedies yet known.
In this connection we wish TO remind
those losing cattle by this disease, of the
great danger to be incurred by permitting
the mailer TO come in contact with their
flesh, particularly ifthe skin be broken. In
such cases death would almost certainly
ensue. We give this warning because it
~ common TO skin dead cattle for their
hides.

Will yet be put into execution. Though
ample preparation Ind been made by those

Disease Among the Cattle.

This disease, whose ravagcs have been
worse perhaps in Florida than any where
else, but which exists 10 some extent in
nil sections, still continues among the
stock III this country, aud is becoming
more general and more fatal. There are
various opinions us 10 the character of
the malady. Some think, and that too
from close examination, that the disease
which seems to be making an universal
sweep Of the deer, is not the black ton
que, but sort Of murrain. Ii is said
also, that although among the cattle, the
majority of cases are black or sore tongue,
yet murrlan exists among them also.
We have no donh, but this is the true
state OF the case, although we have no
direct knowledge on the subject. We
might have had this knowledge but for
AN untoward incident which happened to
us a few mornings since.

any way or by any means that is practca-
Bile and consistent with Justice and good
policy, and if we had few more such men,

spirit, our District would be aroused from
its slumbers and would prepare to assume

country, and we do not mention this for the
the purpose of inducing our public men to
embark in the hazardous experiment of n
public expression of their opinions. "Indian

could this generation boast Of such spirits
we might entertain a confident hope that
the District would emerge from darkness

Disease among the Cattle.

We, several weeks ago, copied some no.
tces OF fatal disease among Cattle-the
Black Tongue, or Cattle Mnrraia-prevail-
ing through sections Of Southern Georgia
and Florida. Gradually the disease has
spread itself from the sea board in a north.
eriy direction. and ii portions OF ::lh,ss State
we learn that it is making sad havoc and
that all the means yet resorted to, have been
unavailing in arresting its ravages. We
understand that it prevails to some extent
in the lower portions Of our District, and in
view of the probability Of It's becoming gen.
eral, II may not be amiss to hint that there
is danger in using either the milk or fiesn
OF animals that are In the sligh:est degree
infected with il. In Georgia and Florida,
where the cattle and deer have been DYING
by hundreds, il is stated that carion-crows
have deserted the country, so fatally pois-
onous is the flesh Of the dead animals, and
that the gophers have died 10 numbers mere
~ from ealing The grass over which the
cows have grazed. We learn from the
Cheraw papers that in our nsighboring Dis
trct of Chesterfield, the disease is prevail
ing to an alarming extent, and Is likely to
eTterminate the few deer yet remaining in
that section. The editor Of The Gazeiie,
who seems to have devoted some attention
TO ihe subject, gives some hints as follows
in reference 10 the disease and cure:
So far we have heard no satisfactory
cause ass ignsd for the prevalence Of the
disease. Its pathology prevention and cure
are equally donbtfrl. Some ascribe II to
mushrooms. some to rust on the grass, and
others TO some peculiarly of the dews; and
all more than likely are in error. There
appears to be no preventive, as cows kept
up are as subject to the disease as those
