The Spotted Fever.

We learn, from gentleman who has
spent several days in Luzerne co., Penn,
some interesting particulars concerning the
epidemic, popularity known as the "spotted
fever" which has caused such havoc in
that region. The disease made its ap'
peararce in house situated on the high
est and arrest ground in Carbondalo, and
carried off three children of one family in
few hours. The symptoms are fit oil
trembling, like common ague, and
pain across the brow. Within an hour
red spot, or blotches begin to break out
oil over the body, and raging fever sets
in, accompanied by delrium. The dis
ease comes to its crisis in from six to ten
hours, and in most cases terminates fatally,
All classes of society and all ages are liza
Bile to it, though the worst Of its ravsges
is among the children. In one instance nm
entire family of seven children fell VIC
Tins to it. Various methods OF treatment
arosresorted to; but q sure prevention, or
cure, has not been discovered. Our in
Torment states that hot bath, at the out
set OF the disease, has been found to be
very effcacious. There is abundant evil
dence to show that the spotted fever is
not contagious, but epidemic Beyond that
it is an enigma which the efforts of all the
physicians who have visited the county on
missions of humanity have failed tie solve.
In this respect, however, it is no more
mysterious than any other of the epidem-
ic. Modern science, with all its expert
ence and lore, has not been able to tharw
much light on the origin of these calami-
tous visitations. With regard to the spot
ted fever in Luzerne, it has been ascer.
tained that the person in whose house it
first broke out, had some time previous
purchased and stored away on the prem
ises small quantity of seeehd hand cloth.
ing, some Of which, it is said, had been
used in army hospitals. The seeds of the
epidemic may have been wrapped up in
this clothing-and they may no. have been
1t is purely matter of conjecture. Tie
same disease has made its appearance in
other places, at other times (scarcely o
year passes that it is not heard Of some
where in the couutry,) where no cause
could be discovered. In Luzerne county
it has been carefully studied by large
number of intelligent physicians, and
careful comparison OF their views may de-
termine the best mode Of treatment, out oI
the many modes that have been tried, ever
if they cannot account philosophically fol
the origin OF the disease. Its ravages havs
been most serious at Carbondale, where i
first appeared but it has also been very
destructive in other towns and villages o.
the county. The whole number Of deaths
are reported at nearly 400. At last &C
counts it was subsidng, and its speed
disappearance from the unfortunate couu
ty, was confidently looked for.

HORRIBLE DEATH.-A mason, named
Daniels, employed at the iron works in
New Castle, met with horrible death on
Wednesday last The stacks oftwo ofthe
pudding furnaces are m ade of sheet iron
and lined with brick. These stacks were
secured by guy chains to keep them from
falling over, and also chained together
One of the guy chains had been removed
for some cause, and the stack already
leaned little, but it was not thought to
be in danger of falling. 1t is supposed
hat the removal of the lining bel ow made
the stack top heavy and it gave way
Seeing his danger, Mr.. Daniels ran 10 the
end OF the furnace and jumped into the ash
pit for safety but the stack he was work.
ing at, in falling, drew the other (Which
was hot at the time) after it, and it fellim
mediately over Mr.. Daniels, crushing hin
badly, and literally roasting him to death

MEssRs. Clay and Holcomb, in their
reply TO Mr.. Greeley's letter inclosing the
Presidents peace manifesto, speaks of
"thrice repeated, and as often repulsed,
attempts to open negotiations" The
embassy Of Alexander Ii. Stephens was
one attempt; the propositions submitted
in February, 1863, just before the battle
Of Fredericksburg, another, and the third
is the one just ended.
The semi-ofiicial statement of the ad-
ministration of the 2lst instant says:
"The administration have never had
before them for consideration any propo-
sition from the rebel authorities relative
to pacifcation; nor is it known that any
such has been received
They have never bad before them any
propositions relative to paciication," be-
cause they refused to receive them. Tho
statement here made is an attempt to de-
ceive the nation by equivocation and sub
lerfuge. The administration knew that
the Confederates wished to present. propo-
sails for peace, knew that they attempted
to present them, and were acquainted with
their nature, but refused to receive them.
Fernando Wood offered 10 test the genu-
ineness Of the propositions made through
him under restrictions which would have
effectualIy insured against injury to tho
public interest, but be was not permitted
to do so. Our people have been useless
ly slaughtered, and the nation loaded with
debt, because the authorities at Washing
ton would not receive and consider terms
of settlement. They pow attempt TO
evade responsibility BY such pettisogging
equivocation as the statements by Clay
and Holcomb expose.
