The Richmond Dispatch says /:


Yesterday, in the House Of Repre-
sentativss, . bill was reported from the
Committee on Military Affairs amenda-
tory Of the bill recently passed upon the
subject Of substitution in the army. The
amendatory bill contemplates distinc-
ton in favor OF those persons who ars
now, and who we're during the ysar 1853,
engaged BY their own labor, or in super
intending the labor Of others, in produc-
ing supplies for the army and the ooun-
try. The committee reporting the bill
recommended its immediate passage.
The usual question Of postponing it and
placing it upon the record was decided in
the negative, and the bill was taken up
for consideration but before direct
vote was had upon it the morning hour
had expired, and the House went into
secret session. There can be but little
doubt that the bill will pass substantially
Is it come from the committee.
NEGROES IN RICHMOND.
The Sentinel Says:
"The hire of negroes has fallen con-
siderable sum since the lst of January,
and the agents are somewhat bothered to
know what to do with them. People are
getting tired of paying exorbitant prices
for servants, and will do without them al
together before they will.submit to such
rates rs have been demanded. The own
ers should be satisfied if they can get
persons to clothe and feed their negroes
these times of scarcity"
FATAL DISEASE In GEORGIA.
A fatal disease has appeared in and
around Rome, Ga. Within three weeks
twenty persons have died Of it, including
thirteen of the Cherokee Legion, en-
camped near by. The Rome Courier
says:
1.-The physicians call it Aenengetis.
and say its anthology is an Inflammation
Of the base of the brain and the spinal
nerves. The patient is attacked with a
chill accompanied with severe pain iu
the head, particularly in the back part.
and the spine. The head becomes drawn
back, and the patient experiences pain in
the neck, similar in kind to the lockjaw,
and generally proves fatal in from twelve
to thirty-six hours. The disease is not
considered contagious, though it may
possibly prove epidemical.
