Cattle Dying on the Western Plains
From the plains We hear of terrible de.
struction Of cattle, belonging to the freight
trains EN- route Tor this city. Their death
| is certain, aud the best cattle in the herds
are usually the first victims. The disease
of which they die has been variously pro-
nounced murrain, distcmper and alkali.
From what We learn, tie latter is doubt.
less the cause The season is now very
dry, the Platte river low, and the water,
in consequence, along the course through
the alkali plains, more than usually i'm
pregnated with the poison but 1t is doubt
less more attributable to the dust than
anything else. The roads are exceedingly
dusty, and moving train is constantly en-
veloped in its clouds. Cattle inhale it
at every breath, and eat it with every
nouthful of grass they take The grass is
said to he thickly covered with it for three
miles from the road. BY this m cans,
erongh alkali is at length introduced into
the system to produce death, and the fin.
est, largest and fattest oxen are the first to
fall victims, while the scrub will stand it
for an indefinite length of time. Some
trains have been obliged to purchase cattle
to fill up their teams, and been seriously
delayed by their losses. One day recently
gentleman who came up from ST. Vrain,
forty two miles below, counted near the
road over fifty carcasses OI oxen that had
died within a few hours. Some train mas.
tcrs have tried lard as ar antidole to the
disease with good success 1t should be
given freely, and as soon as possible after
the animal is found to be sick. A good
rain would doubtless put stop to the
present bovine mortality; but as long as
the weather continues SO dry, it will doubt
less increase

How Women Inauenoe the Politics
OF Austria

Three parties now struggle for influence
in the imperial Court at Vienna. At the
head OF the party advocating immediate
and straightforward Progress, without any
arrisre pensee, stands the young Empress.
Some months ago the Archduke Ferdinand
Maximilian, enlightened by bis experience
during his Viceroyalty at Milan, begged
and eDtreated his brother, the Emperor, to
desist from the narrow and mean system
of oppression exercised in the whole En-
pire; warning him that, sooner or later,
the same causes might be followed by the
same consequences in other nationalities.
The Archduke left his country in disgrace,
taking with him the memory of very bitter
werds from the Emperor. The Empress
exercises bolder, more legitimate, and
more perseverant influence, and is some
thing more successful. Every morning
before the reception Of the adjutaDts, who
bring the reports, she enters the cabinet Of
the imperial husband, there shs reigns for
awhile, discussing and suggesting the high
est questions of politics, directed only by
her heart and patriotic inspiration of the
right. She has not been taught history,
Ambition and intrigue are strangers IN her
heart, but her eloquence flows from heI
soul and from her presentiments. She
looks at the exiled Italian Princes. She is
very much concerned about her younger
sister, who was lately on the Neapolilan
throne. The echoes of the complaints o.
SO many oppressed nations penetrate the
walls of the Imperial Castle. She reads in
the features Of her imperial husband caTet

Flora Tenn pie Defeated.

The Empress of the Trotting Turf and
her noble competitor, George M. Patchen,
have met again, and this time Flora has
met with defeat. At Geneva, N. Y, on
the 9th ult., 10 trot for purse, mile
heats, best 3 in 8, Flora won the first heat
in 2:32, Patchen leading to the three quarter
pole four lengths in advance, and throwing
shoe in the first quarter. Patchen won
the second heat in 2:28; Flora the third
heat in 2:29, and Patchen distanced Flora
in the fourth heat. We have not yet re-
celved our special report, but it will appear
in our next. The news of this defeat will
be heard with general regret, and the pub
lie will eagerly look for full and complete
account of the particulars of the contest

RED RIVER ITEMS.
From the Nor'-westsr of Oct. 18th.

A WHITE CAPTIVE AMONG THE SAvAGEs.
Many Of our readers may remember the
massacre, last Fall, by the Sioux Indians,
of party Of emigrants journeying from
Iowa to Oregon. The expedition, we be-
lieye, numbered seventeen wagons, and the
travellers were said to have been all killed
with the exception of two men, who fought
their way through, and two women, one Of
whom was left for dead at the foot Of a
precipice, but was afterwards recovered
and restored to her friends, and the other
taken into camp and compelled to adopt
the savage life of the Sioux. This sum
mer, when the half breeds from Pembina
were at the Yankton camp on the plains
some Of them, as they allege, saw this poo,
hapless woman in the wigwam of her cap
tors. They say that they conversed with
her, and that she was anxious to get away
but was unable TO effect her escape
Whether there is any truth in the half
breeds story we cannot say, but it Ii
worthy Of being enquired into, and If found
to be correct means ought TO be taken by
the American government for Iescuing 1
woman OF their country from position o.
misery and degradation which she mus
feel to be worse than the cruelest death.
