>DlPTHERIA.-We notice this insidious disease
is becoming quite prevalent in some parts of the
country. 1t is a malady that If not arrested at
its very outset is almost certain to prove fatal
AS soon as the first symptoms appears, physi-
clan should be instantly summoned. Meantime,
until the doctor arrives, temporary relief can be
afforded by gargling the throat every ten minutes
with a strong decoction Of common salt and scater
Make 1t as strong as the patient can endure it
without strangling,. say teaspoonful of salt to
two teaspoonsfnl Of water. In many instances
this simple remedy has been known to entirely
check the disease without the aid of any further
prescription american.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED TREASON IN KENTUCKY

WHAT is CONSIDERED TREASON IN KENTUCKY.
The United States District Court commenced its
session at Covington, Kentucky, on Monday last.
Judge Ballard charged the jury respecting trea-
son. He declared that the words ''adhering to
its enemies, giving them aid and comfort" in the
constitution, does not refer to or include rebels
Trading and traficking generally with the dis
loyal States is not treason. but a party must be
assisting in the levying of war, either by bearing
arms or assisting in army transportation supplies
to constitute treason. He advised that prisoners
ofwar should not be indicted, as there would
doubtless be an exchange ofprisoners The express
sion ofopinion, or the denunciation Of the govern
ment, he said, was not treason.

Times says the rebels along the Potomac are fire.
quenty familiar with our countersigns, and he
adds: ......
They not only frequently come down to the
beach of morning, and dersively cry out to our
pickets our countersign ofthe night previous, but
acquaint US with what is known by but one off
Ger in the entire division, what is to be the coun-
tersign of the ensuing night
They also boast of having, by means of our
countersign, travelled along our entire division
lines and ascertained our exact locality, numbers,
and nature of armament in single night, and,
without hindrance or suspicion, retired success
fully to their works across the river. If this be
SO, they must be familiar with our secret signals,
which are now issued in connection with our
countersign.

The TREASURY OF MARYLAND AND MAssacHU-

The TREASURY OF MARYLAND AND MAssacHU-
SETS VOLUNTEERS. -Our readers are aware that
where is now~pending in the Legislature OF this
state, bill providing for the support of the
families of Maryland Volunteers. The way the
law is expected to work by the wise men Of the
East may be seen from the following paragraph,
which occupies conspicuous place in the Boston
Courier of Monday last:
Major Scion Fisher, of Gen. Bullock's staff, has
been commissioned Lieutenant-C Colonel of the Ma
ryand Third regiment, and is authorized to re-
cruit therefor. Those enlisting from this State
wU recetUe aid for their families from the State Of
Maryland.
A Massachusetts, Lieutenant-C Colonel for a Mary
land regiment, and the families of Massachusetts
recruits supported out of the Maryland Treasury!

~ The Secretary of the Treasury has expend-
ed $780, 900 for the engraving of Treasury notes,
and has called on Congress for $500, more
Congress has hesitated to grant it. In the midst
of the great outburst of patriotism, among the
loyal people, there has been commensurate out
burst of propensity to spend money on gigan-
tic scale; we are glad, however to see, that Con-
gress is beginning 10 look round little and pull
loose those vampires that have poked their probo-
secs so deep ipto the public treasury.

Public Debt.

1t is believed that the public debt on the 3Oth
of June next will much exceed the estimated
amount of five hundred millions. The war expen-
ditures are now very great, and must be increas-
ed by the advance of our armies and the progress
of the naval expeditions. To show how much
the article of forage will cost, it may be mention
ed that twentysix dollars ton is now paid for
hay, and fifty-cight cents bushel for oats.
