WmsKEY AND SNAKE-BITEs.-An NJ. ID
correspondent Of the Petersburg Express
says, that a very great erroris sometimes com
mitted by persons drinking largely of whis-
key or other alcoholic stimulants as a cure
for the bite of n rattlesnake. | have seen
persons whose mind and body have been Sc
riously injured by the free administration of
whiskey under such circumstances, when
there was no evidence that the person had
been seriously injured by the venom of tile
reptile. In one instance, at least, the person
bitten was absolutely killed by drinking
largely of whiskey, when the wounded
limb presented but a few Of the symptoms Of
poison. The bite Of a rattlcsnake or other
vcnomous animals, is not always necessarily
fatal, from the fact that the poison is preven-
ted from entering the wound by the PERSONS
clothing, or that the poison sack in the ami
mails head had been emptied by previous de-
plction. The simplest and most eficacious
remedy, is the common hartshorn, in the
liquid form, aqua ammonia. Dilute the Ii
quid in water, battle the partfreely, and swal-
low a portion. In the southwest, where gen.
tlemen at this season Of the year, often go
out on camp hunts, and remain for weeks in
the flats of the Yazoo and the Halobusha,
sleeping every night in the midst ofthe most
vcnomous reptiles, every sportsman is provi
ded with a vial Of aqua ammonia. l have
never known n person who was bitten by
snake to suffer seriously thercfrom when am
monia was accessible, and Immediately used
nor have | heard of one that was benefited
under similar circumstances, by the use 0
alcohol. Sporting gentlemen on camp hunt
generally have liquor along, but are careful

ment OF land and naval forces, &C., but they
have not been ratified.
An informal meeting of the joint committee
on printing for the two houses Of congress was
held this morning. Fitzpatrick, Anthony
Haskin, and Gurley were present. They had
under consideration Mr.. Gurley's bill for a
government printing office. Several amend
ments were agreed to, as additional checks
and guards against abuses. 1t is the opinion
of these gentlemen, as well as of Mr.. Dim
mock, another member of the House commit.
tee, that the ren edy for the serious evils of
the present system is to be found in govern
ment printing office. Mr.. Gurley says lie can
demonstrate a saving to the government
thereby of over Sl00000 per annum.
The telegraph convention is still in session

There was an adjourned meeting of the
congressman from Mississippi, Alabama, and
kSouth Carolina, tonight, in connection with
the proposition for southern convention to
be held in June, in South Carolina. 1t will
be recollected that Virginia has declined to
participate in this movement, aud that Missis-
sippi and Alabama approved it and arranged
for the appointment of delegates but the
South Carolina legislature adjourned without
any such action. 1t is understood that the OBJ
ject of this meeting was to agree upon some
plan by which an attendance from the last
named state can be secured. Although no
formal proposition was adopted, the majority
incline to the opinion that the governor Of
South Carolina would assemble the legislature
of that state to select delegates, and OF this he
will probably soon be informed

Stevens and Hazlett were hung at noon.
They appeared resigned to their fate, Stevens
died very hard, while Hazlett died without a
struggle. Both exhibited great firmness and
resignation.
There were no religious exercises at the
gallows, as the prisoners positively refused all
the kindly offers Of the ministers of the place
i'll their last moments. They were both spir-
itualists, and had faith of their own, which
enabled them to meet their fate with cheerful
ness and resignation. Both their bodies have
been forwarded to Marcus Spring, South Am

early morning train.
