The Senate Of Virginia, a few days ago,

ferrinsthe troops of the State Line, under

Strange and Terrible Epidemic
i'm the Northwest.

!. The Northern papers tell Of strange and
terrible epidemic that.has broken out in In
diana. completely battling alLeforts Of the To-
cal physicians, and carrying Of every patient
in a few hours. A paper thus describes the
symptoms and progress Of the disease
There are no symptoms indicating it's APP
proach. The patient is attacked. with chill,
and thinks he has an attack Of the aguey but
as soon as the chill is over, the patient sinks
into a stupor, from which he rarely revives.-
The muscles are riged; the pupil of the eye, is
insensible to either 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 forcibly, with a hiss
ing 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 convulsiens. During the
stupor large black spots, many Of them raised
up like blisters, appear on the surface Of the
body and limbs, the patient usually dying
in from two to four hours. In some rare
cases the patient fingers along for days, in. d
species Of typhoid fever, accompanied BY
blindness, deafness, paralysis Of the extremi.
ties, &c. In some cases NE patient revives
from the stupor, feeling 50 well as to believe
himself convalescent, but, in the course Of an
hour Or two, is seized with asterrible deliri-
nm, terminating in coma e. stbpor) and
death. Il s,.sv
This disease leaves the patient in typhoid
fever, and very low, and liable to loss Of sight
or, hearing, and to paralysis, ppon recovery.
