Cattle Plague in tne rIisslspIppi

The Memphis Bulletin OF the 25th has
the following -
We learn from gentleman who has iust
returned from Philips aud Crittendeu coun.
fieH Arkansas. that the planters in the Mis-.
sissippi bottoms, have been. and are still,
suffering severe loss by the death of their
horses, mules. cattle and hogs, by o singu.
lar disease which is carrying them OF in
great numbers.
- In the early part Of the summer an in.
credible number OF black gnkts made their
appearance IN the bottoms, and attacked
not only cattle aud horses, but also birds,
wild turkeys, deer aud other game, with
such ferocity as TO kill, iul ehoft time,
quite number of them.
After the disappearance of the gnats, a
disease broke out among the cattle, horses
and hogs, and has been raging for some
time, aud is still prevailing, though the IN.
dications now are that the cpidemic--for
such Il appears to be--is abatipg. This
disease resembles very closely erysipelas,

the breast, ut other times on tho side, but

them ounourred in the opinion that it was

the visitation Of tho gnats in tho early part
Of the summer had some influence in pro.

has been very great. One planter in Wal

that two men, who had been treating their

SYMPTOMS,


The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
sitive to the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or a slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increasedin quantity and changed
in quality; they are now thick and heavy. and
are hawked or coughed of. The secretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes are weak; the sense
of smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom OF
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat in the morning of thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that his disease is on its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time in
arresting it.
The above are but few of the many Catarrh.

our pamphlet describing fully all symptoms;

A Niger Killed by Indians.

From the Nebraska City News San. II
We are creditably informed that the
Indians recently captured, killed and
scalped an american citizen Of African
descent" near Julesburg, i'll this Terrific
nv. Heretofore they have only murder
cd common white folks, and 1.-THE govern
ment" has treated them ever SO tender
ly. In fact, Colonel Chivington has been
arrested for abolishing few Indians and
confiscating their ponies and other traps
and commodities, but now that the red
skins have actually killed a niggcr, we
think Abraham will see palliating cir
cumstances in Chivington's case, and
release him, and order the aborigines
themselves to receive a tremendous
thrashing.
"The government" will soon teach Mr..
Indian that, though he has, during the
past few months, slain with impunty
several hundred white persons, killing u
niger is serious crime, and not to be
passed over with indulgence. We call
upon the shining lights Of loyalty" and
upon all who work i'll the interests of
God and humanity" to beseech the pow
ers" at Washington to avenge the massa-
ere of the coal-black American who met
his fearful death at Julesburg. We have
tried to arouse them in behalf of white
men, white women and white children,
without avail; we now yell to them aloud
"a niger has been killed by Indians }
Can you let them go UNPUBLISHED any
