TREATMENT FOR DVPrHERIA.-A physician Of
distinction furnishes the following to the Charles
ton Courier relative to til. treatment aud nature of
dyptheria.
l-t. In its nature il is not local affection as is
usually supposed, but constitutional, peryadius
The blood of the whole system before il makes its
appearance In any part. II is of Il nature kindred
to the eryslpcas, and though epidemicai, is not
strictly speaking infectious.
ID. Its most mtniiest symptom is "A false mem
brane, Of white color, which forms upon and
around the tonsils, NJ ar the palate, aud which
thckens aud extends, unless checked, until the
patent dies from suffOcatOn. This false membrane
Is, however, not confined to the throat, but NAV
sonnet nIes be upon the hand arm, or any
other place where the skin has been removed.
Sd. Among the catuiofas To be observed are the
following: Avoid all medicines and modes of treat
leHt which shall xhaust the strength, and be care
fu not 20 injure The skin by bisicrs ar counter
irritants, particularly i" the neishb"rhood of the
throat.
4tI. TO effect its cure, aim to restore rapidly
aud effectively possible the patients waning
strength. For this purpose let the diet be of the
most nutritious chara cter-chickcn soup, beeftea, i,
sc. Gre freely q eggnnJJ, made of good whiskey,
or use the nulantiL any other way that will
bine nourislment with stimulation. Add 10 the gen
era strength by the use of mineral tonica, "f which
none is better than murate of iron, which may be
administered AS largely ten drops at dose every
two or three hours for an adult, Between the
chioraie (noi chiorde) of potash, or of s.da. The
chloride of soda may be used As an antiseptic gar
ale, but the best gargle Is common salt.
II the disease gives signs OF pcriOdicity, by re
gular remissons and accessOns, then bring to your
aid the great anti periodic quinine.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TROUBLES About GEH.
BRAGs.-The Chattanooga correspondent OF the
Mobile Tribune gives the following summary of the
result Of President Davis's visit to Bragg's army
a great deal Of gossip and military scan mag.
has been WI itten about the Presidents visit here
In reference to the settlement OF certain difficulties
which are supposed to exist among the corps and
division officers Of Gen. Bngg's army. As the
affair has been distorted TO sait the fancy and pre-
judice of writers, will now give You plaii,
state n,ent of the facts: 1t seems that number of
the Generals in the army Of Tennessee petitioned
for the removal of Gen. Bragg FROM the command
of the army, (Gcm. Breckenridge aud some Others
exccpted,) while the President was on his late
visit. President Davis requested a personal inter
view with these gentlemen, aud asked them ta
state their reasons why they demanded that Gen
Bragg shoald be relieved from his command. The
reasons given did not appear TO satisfy the Presi
dent that he ought tO take any action In the
Gen. Hragg, being informed OF the nature Of tho
petition, Insisted on, and urgently requested ths
President to relieve him, but President Davis per
sisientiy refused on the g-ound that II would be
hazardous To the general good oi the service a,,d
welfare Of the country.

GEN. MoRaAN.--The Montgomery EoiIy .ddrer~
tiser publishes the life and military achievements
of the renowned Gen. John IL. Morgan, now q
prisoner, with head shaved aud piebald garments,
in the pententiary of Ohio. An extract from the
article in question, which we sutjoin, rccapitu-
lates all the grand exploits of this Southern Pala
din. No man of his tay has accomplished more
if so much, and the summing up shows an array
of glorious deeds that were never surpassed In
number and brilliancy. The writer says:
Morgan's may be summed up with trmtl,
follows Tie has fought sixty -tlfte battles and
has been successful in fifty.seven; took $1,000
prisoners, killed 900, and destroyed $50 GOO
worth of property, and taken so 600 stands OF
small arms. ana fifty pieces Of artillery, 90 900
horses, and travelled II, 900 miles.
These figures sufpass anything In the annals OF
history, and he has not had with him at any time
over 5 900 men for duty.

Police Hems.-Thc cases before the Recorder
yesterday were all of trivial character, and
promptly disposed OF. We note a few of
them:
James Maloy, marine, for being drunk
and disOrderly in front OF the Theatre, and
interfering with persons passing the streets,
was sent to the Provost Marshal, to be for
warded to his command.
Milly, hired to Mrs. NJ. Russell, was az

Relief Associatioas.-The committee for the
eastern suburbs Of Richmond who are now
laboring zealOusly to procure supplies for
the wives and families OF our soldiers in the
field, are gathering together all the necessa-
ries of life that they can procure, and will
soon be ready to open their storehouse for
distributing supplies. They ask and expect
portion Of the abundance with which they
are blessed, for the wants of the needy are
numerous and pressing. Meat, bread, grain,
vegetables, fuel, clothes, shoes, are all scarce
and high, and the families Of soldiers cannot
procure them unless they are assisted b !,
those who have to spare. Surely the appeal
to the charitable will not be in vain.

.Saving Stock.-In impressing beef and
hogs for the army, an eye should be had to
the importance Of preserving sutiicicncy
OF stock for breeding purposes. III some
sections Of the country nearly all the milch
cows have been taken for beef cattle, and
in others scarcely hog is to be found. II
the war continues two or three years longer
AS it probably will-the great mass OF the
people will be compelled to live on little or
no meats; and in order to do this they ought
to plant out orchards and vineyards, culti-
vatc the Chinese sugar cane extensively, and
devote great care to the rearing Of poultry
of every description. We are in for long
and wasting war, and to come out OF it sue
cessfllly those who are not lit for field service
must determine to live frugally, and to spare
no efforts to feed and clothc the soldiers who
have to do the fighting.

HARE TINES Notwithstanding girls In New York
appear to meet witt, but poor success in their ef

brella sewers of that city recently struck for an
advance of two cents per umbrella, but they met
with so little encouragement from their employ
ees, that they endeavored to effect compromise
by reducing their demand to one cent. but even
In this tsey did no. succeed, aud all were obliged
TO return To- their work except a few, who still
hold out.

Seeding Grain-Every farmer should be
industriously at work now seeding wheat,
oats, and rye for spring crops. The scarcity
of rough food will make rye very valuable
in the spring, and cause early oats to be in
great demand. These crops can be made
with limited force and in many sections ofthc
country the Government might take charge
of farms and put them in cultivation. For a
farmer to say that he won't SOW bis fields be-
cause the Government will take the pro-
ducts at their own prices, is simply to de-
clare that he is willing to give mp home,
lands, and negroes for tho perpetual use of
the Yankees. The army must be fed and
supported, or 1t can't fight; and If it has to
evacnatc Virginia for want OF support, then
the State, and all that is within it, goes to
the Hessians, to be divided out and parti-
toned Off among the chicken and negro
stealing invaders of our soil. Farmers have
their all at stake in this war, and if they fail
to do their duty they deserve and will Ger
tainly lose all they have.
