From Washington.

New YORK. Dec. PA special to the
Times from Washington 2lst, says An adj
journed caucus of the Democratic members
of Congress tonight transacted no import
ant business.
Gen. Auger made trip to-day on the
railroad as far as Bull Run, for the purpose
of finspecting the road and providing against
raids by guerrillas. The bridges were
found to be in good condition, and measures
have been adopted that will doubtless pre-
vent another descent being made upon the
line within this department. Guerrillas and
small squads of rebel cavalry still infest the
country beyond Manassas, and depredations
upon Government property between that
point and the Rappahannock are Of frequent
occurrence.
ed No credence is given to the dispatch stat
ing that Longstreets force had been sur
rounded and LOngstreet killed. The Gov
ernment has received nothing confirmatory
of such statement, although in direct COM
munication with Gen. Foster. ... -.

the Potomac is in the same position it has
been since it recrossed the Rapidan. ALI
order to move to better quarters is expected,
especially as the roads which a few days ago
We're rendered almost impossible, are now
frozen hard. AS. far as we can judge, the
rebels have not changed their position.
Our men have made for themselves most
comfortable quarters, impervious to frost
and snow.
It's stated in dispatch of Saturday that
rebel cavalry destroyed two bridges over
Bull Run. This is not exactly so. They
appeared in some force, attacked our guards
and set fire to one of the bridges, but the fire
was cxtinguished and the rebels left with
out doing any material damage.

New York, Dec. PA special to the

arrangement by which all matters connect

been turned over to Major-General Butler

has hitherto been conducting the exchange,

prisoners on board, in charge of Gen. But
Ter, in exchange for whom he will offer to
receive one thousand of our prisoners now
suffering in Richmond.

stern features which the boys interpreted

brought with alacrity. and the cheerful
blaze was much enjoyed.
Early the next morning the old farmer
came out and discovered his rails were
nearly all gone, and were still being offered

A physician of distinguished ability gives
us the following facts concerning this much
dreaded disease
| LIST. In its nature, it is not local affee-
ton, as is usually supposed. but constitu-
tional, pervading the blood of the whole
system before it makes its appearance in
any part. It is of nature kindred to cry
Esipelas, and though epidem;cai, Is not.
Fstrictly speaking, infectious.
Cd. It's most manifest symptom is q false
| membrane, of white color, which forms
upon and around the tonsils, near the pal
ate. and which thiekens and extends, un-
! less checked, until the patient dies from
suffocation This membrane is, however,
not confined to the throat, but may some
times be seen upon the hand or arm, or any
other place where the skin has been re-
moved.
Sd. Among the cautions to be observed
are the following: Avoid all medicines and
modes of treatment which shall exhaust the
strength, aud be careful not to injure the
skin by blisters or counter irritants, partic-
ularly in the neighborhood of the throat.
4th. To effect its cure, aim to restore as
rapidly end effectively as possible, the pa
TENTS waning strength. For this purpose.
let the diet be of the most nutritious char
acter, chicken soup, beef tea, etc. Give
freely of egguog, made of good whisky, or
use the stimulant in any other way that
will combine nourishment with stimulation.
Add to the general strength by the use of
mineral tones. Of which none is better than
muriate of iron, which may be administered
as largely as ten drops at a dose, every two
or three hours, for an adult Ro weep the
doses of iron, give from five to fifteen grains
OF chlorate <uot chloriee) of potash, or of
soda The chloride of soda may be used
as an antiseptic gargle, but the best gargle
is common salt.
