From the Richmond Dispatch of Sept. .:
Rumored that yesterdaya dispatch had
been received by Gen. Cooper, announcing
the withdrawal of troops from Wagner and
Sumter. We think this higly probable as
a gentleman who left Charleston on Fri
day says the enemy were at that time with
in IS yards of Wagner, and Sumter is en-
trely in ruins. The same gentleman says
Yankee troubles have not commenced, nor
will they commence till they get into the
harbor.

4 Few Hours AMONG THE SOLDIERS
We yesterday enjoyed a short visit paid
Crothers Battery, now quartered on the
Island. We found the men having good
time, and enjoying themselves hugely In
the shade of a number of trees which stand
near the river. The tents are all in good
order, and every precaution has been taken
to promote the comfort and good health OF
the men. Capt. Holmes and Lieut.. Smith
Lave been in the army ever since the war
began, and are we'll acquainted with the
wants of their men. We are happy to
say, all were loud in praising their officers
Before we left, Sergeant Morgan brought
forward a squad of men, and some time wa:
spent in practicing with gun they have
for that purpose. So well did all act thei
parts, that we could imagine we saw tn,
flash and heard the report Of the loud
mouthed cannon.

morrow evening and continues until Tues
day next at sunset. 1t commences the montn
T;sbrv. and is the anniversary of the crea-
ton of the world, which is, by the Israeli
fish computation, 1924 years DID, The
festival is observed as Sabbath-no WORK
of any kind being performed in any Jewish
family. A fast is observed up to the time
Of the sounding of the shophar, or cornet,
which is blown about noontime. A distlnc-
tion is made between the civil and ecclesias-
tical year, the latter commencing in the
month Nissan. which this year is begun on

the soul may at any moment be prepared
for death. The people are instructed to
live as if every day was the day OF their
death.
On the 18th day of Nissan (the 18th OF

Visit Of Emperor Napoleon to Baron
de Rothscllisd.

The following particulars are cleaned
from the Paris papers of a shooting break
fast lately given by Baron de Rotchchild
to the Emperor Napoleon:
The Emperor left Paris on the 10th, at
half-past nine, for the Chateau of Ferrieres
on shooting excursion in the grounds of
Baron dc Rotchchild. His Majesty was
received at the terminus of the Eastern
Railway by M. ThOuvenel, President of
the Board of Directors, and NM Perdon
net, Bauds, Baigueres, Dollfus, and Sauv-
age, directors. The Emperor was accom-
panied by NJ. Fould, Count Walewski,
Lord Cowley, Generals Fleury and Ney !;
and NJ ThOuvenel was invited to take a
seat in the imperial carriage The train
left Immediately for the station of Ozouer
la Ferreres, where it arrived in about an
hour, the distance being about twenty
miles. At this station (Which six villages,
formerly deprived Of communications, owe
to Baron de Rotchchild) the Baron's equip
ages, in blue liyeries and yellow, awaited
his Majesty, who took his seat in an open
carriage with four blood horses and pos
til ions. Five other carriages, also drawn
by splendid horses, were placed at the dis
posal of the guests. The Baron's four sons
were waiting at the station to receive his
Majesty. At q quarter to eleven the En-
peror arrived at the chateau, and the i'm
perial flag was at once raised on one of
the towers. After looking over the inte-
rior Of the editce, the Emperor took a
walk in the park, where he planted a ce-
dar to commemorate his visit, and then
returned to the chateau for breakfast The

which were Immediately destroyed to pre-

After breakfast numerous shooting equip

the great park, which covers 1000 nee
tares (3,7O0 acres) entirely surrounded
with walls, containing three farms. The
sport was splendid and about | 900 head
| of game were killed. On returning to the
chateau, about hali-past five, the Empe
ror found all the population of the enyi-
rons assembled in the court yard, headed
by the mayors and cures a collation. had

Terrible epidemic" at plymouth,
Indiana.

a terrible epidemic has broken out in
Plymouth, Indiana, completely battling all
efforts OF the local physicians, and car
rying off every patient in few hours
There arc no symptoms indicating its APP
proacil. The patient is attacked with a
chill, and thinks he has an attack of the
ague; but, as soon as the chill is over, the
patient sinks into stupor from which he
rarely rcvives. The muscles are rigid 4:
the pupil of the eye is insensible either to
light or touch: the surface of the body is
extremely tender and sensitive the head
is drawn back, the jaws are fixed, and the
breath is drawn torcbly, with kissing
sound, as if by great effort, through the
closed teeth; the patient is blind and
deaf In children the stupor is very liable
to be broken by frequent commissions.
During the stupor large black spots, many
of them raised up like blisters, appear on
the surface Of the body and limbs, the pa
tent usually dying in from two to four
hours In some rare cases the patient lin
gers along for days. in species Of low ty-
phold fever, accompanied by blindness,
deafness, paralysis of the eXtremities, etc
In some cases the patient revives from the
stupor feeling so well as to believe himself
convalescent, but, i'll the course Of an hour
or two, is seized with Il terrible delirium,
terminating in coma Ga stupor) and death.
The local physicians finding all their eff
forts to check the epidemic, unavailing,
DR.. J. Adams Allen, of the Rush Medical
College of Detroit, was called, who recog-
nized the disease as cerebro spi,,M menits-
gifts, a disease which appeared first in New
York and New England during the war OF
1912 IA, carrying off many of the Amer
lean soldiers; and in Virginia, in the most
fearful form, in 1922 This disease appeared
in Michigan during the winter 1852,
and was known as the spotted fever, or
spotted death 1t commenced in Kalama-
ZOO, where it was the most severe, but raw
aged terribly in Lansing, Grand Rapids,
Coldwater and other portions of the State.
AS the result of his observations at that
time, DR.. Adams recommended stimulants
to the surface tincture of Muir. Ferri and
tincture of Cantharades internally; and
concentrated nutriment, such as essence
of beef and egg nogg, all the patient will
take. This treatment is working well at
Plymouth now.
This disease leaves the patient in ty-
phoid fever, and very low, and liable to
loss of sight or hearing, and to paralysis,
upon recovery.
