according to the force of the diarrhea II,
with this treatment, the diarrh9a is
checked, although the debility of the stom-
ach continues, OF, 50 to speak, the inclina-
ton to vomit, it is of no consequence the
same thing occurs in taking blood from
patient in the ordinary way. His nausea
is of no Importance, neither his faintness
and prostration, provided the bleeding is
stopped, because, so soon as this is effec-
ted, all these cease spontaneously. So, in
this disease, suppressing the discharge
from the bloOd-vessels Of the intestinal Ca
nal by opiate and astringent injections, the
patient is saved At the same time, he
might take ten or twelve drops of satura-
ted tincture of camphor, as a restorative
and anti spasmodic cordial, every hour, un-
til 1T produces a cOpious perspiration. At
the same time, he should be kept well coy
cred III bed, with hot bricks or bottles of
hot water at his feet
An excellent preparation to stop the di-
arrhea is the chalk mixture and is pre-
pared Of
OF. of Prepared Chalk;

OF. Elixir Paragorc;
DIR. Powder Gum Arabic
DIR. Powder Sugar
OF. Peppermint Water.
In cases of violent diarrhea, wineglass-
tul may be taken at once when not so vi
oeut, tablespoonful every two hours, or
Oftener, If the evacuatiOns continue.
Mustard-plasters on the bowels, when
there is much pain, are of excellent effect.
AS soon as the patient feels himself re-
lieved, he believes himself cured and able
to go about his usual occupations, and is
generally anxious to go out this, how
ever, is extremely hazardous and, that the
cure may be thorough and complete, he
should be kept in bed and wholly quiet for,
at least, two or three days a relapse is
fatal
| should caution against the use of laud-
anum by the mouth, in place of injection,
first, because its action is less prompt upon
the ntestlnes, the seat of the disease and, !
secondly, if taken into the stomach it OBJ |
structs and oppresses its functions, con-
fuses the brain, and renders respiration diff |
icult, by injection, none Of these evils are
perccptible
The chalk mixture, in many cases, is all |
that Is necessary, if administered early !;
but the opiate injections are invaluable,
and the camphor ought to be taken at the
same time.
1t is necessary to inculcate the greatest |
cleanliness of person and habitation qui-
etude of mind to avoid fruits and vege,
tables ; not to use strong or fermented |
liquors, or to eat, except very lightly; thus |
an attack will be avoided, and when not
SO, it will be rendered less dangerous.

q, RIVERS OF BLooD.-Thc circulation In the eys-
t IN is not unlike the flow of rivers TO the sea,
which move smoothly until they are clogged or
obstructed. But when drift wood or alluvial de-
post dams them up, then comes the tearing de.
vastation that follows the obstruction of force
which cannot be stayed. So the blood circulates
inscnsibly through the system until it becomes
clogged by disease; then burst out the ulcers,
sores and disorders which follow that condition.
Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and purify your blood.
to save yourself from tho foods. fteshets and
delugcs which sweep unnumbered multitudes eut
upon that shoreless sea which swallows al man.

Town SITES ON PUBLIC LAXps.-Tbe Sac.
ramento Union learns from private letter
from Washington, that at the late session of
Congress bill was passed by which towns
and villages upon the public lands in Cali
fornia can obtain fee simple title for the
benefit of their inhabitants. This will be
very gratifying intelligence to owners of
town lots on mineral lands. The majority
Of the towns in the State are located upon
mineral lands, and Of course they are held
only by possessory title. So long as Com
gress refuses TO sell these lands, such titles
are we'll enough; but recent legislation grant
ing The odd sections Of land, on a strip
twenty miles in width, to the Pacific Rail.
road Company, has caused some uneasness
among the holders Of lots coming within the
designated territory, even upon mineral
lands, for the reason that town sites hereto.
fore classed as upon mineral lands, mi ight
not bc strictly considered SO by the General
Land Office, and that these sites, when on
odd sections might revert to the Railroad
Company. These fears are groundess, of
course, as town sites on the. odd sections of
the railroad grant will be saved to the in,
habitants if occupied before the passage Of
the law of Congress making the grant; but
nevertheless people have been uneasy at the
prospect of the Railroad Company acquiring
titles to lands within the mineral districts.
when they are precluded from like advan.
,ages In this light, the law above spoken
OF, will bs a welcome relief.

Dull BusINEss.-Ihe s. F. Bulletin, Of
April Sd, says:
The deadlock in commercial circles con.
tinues, and the volume Of trade is unusually
light for the season. Beyond the most i'm.
perative wants OF consumption, it seems to
be generally understood, both on the part of
buyers and sellers, that but little business is
to be done in imported merchandise, till
something definite is known with regard to
the changes in the tariff. The present in
terruption Of business is extremely awkward
and NAL apropos, coming as it does just at
the opening period Of the spring trade, when
buyers are expected to take hold and perform
their allotted part in the work Of general
distribution. This embarrassment, moreover,
is somewhat enhanced by the stringency OF
the money market, consequent upon the active
demand for the payment Of duties, the with
drawal Of goods from bond in anticipation
OF increased rates being quite large, while
the maturing obligations for Eastern mer.
cbandise are by no means light"

DESTRUCTION OF FRU1r.-We very much
fear that the severe cold Of Tuesday, night
has destroyed nearly all the early fruit Of
this section. Peach, plum, pear and many
early apples trees were in full bloom, and all
are reported killed BY the frost. We hope
that destruction is not SO great as reported,
~ generally il would be a benefit to lose a
large portion Of the buds, but we have failed
to find single live peach or plum bud in
the examination Of number Of trees.

THE PLACER HERALD.
AUBURN, APRIL 8, 1865.
Eastern News,

The great event OF the week has been the
capture of Richmond and Petersburg by
Grants Army. The Confederate forces
evacuated Petersburg on Sunday night, and
Richmond on Monday morning. These
events we're preceded by severe fighting for
several days south and west Of Petersburg,
the rebel lines being gradually forced back
until they retired to the north side Of the
Appomat.ox river. This occurred on Sun
day uight,-on the following day, Lees en-
tire force from both Petersburg and Rich.
mond were in full retreat toward Burkes-
Vile and Lynchburg.
Ten days ago the telegraph announced
that Lee was preparing TO evacuate Rich.
mond, as be was sending machinery aud
munitions Of war to Danville and Lynch
burg. 1t was also announced that he had
sent strong reinforcements to Johnston to
enable him TO oppose the march Of Sherman.
II would seem that Grant acted on this be,
lief, and moved nearly all Of his troops
north Of the James, TO his extreme left west
Of Petersburg, in order to prevent Lees
escape. Sheridan commanded the left, Ord
and Mead the center and right. Fighting
commenced as early as Saturday, the 25th,
the rebels under Gen. Gordon, attacking
and capturing Fort Seadman, which they
were unable TO hold. More or less fighting
continued through the early part of the
week, but Thursday and Friday were days Of
severe battle, in which many men were lost
on both sides. The main object Of this
lighting seems to have been to turn Lees
right flank, west Of Petersburg, and throw
it back upon Richmond, but without suc
cess. In Fridays fight, Warren's Fifth Corps
is said to have lost 5000 men. Saturday
was day Of comparative quiet, prepara'
tions being made for assault.
On Sunday Grant massed powerful force
On bis extreme left, under Sheridan, and
after terrible conflict succeeded in break
ing Lees lines. This compelled the giving
up the defenses of Petersburg. and through
out the remainder of the day the rebeI |
troops fell back to ons defense after another
until they crossed the Appomattox. Next
morning both Richmond and Petersburg
were evacuated.
Grant ordered an immediate pursuit of
Lee, but at last accounts be was at Amelia
Court House going westward.
The Federal troops found but few guns in
Petersburg, or munitions of war. They had
been mostly removed. 500 guns were found
in Richmond, and quantity Of small arms.
A large number of prisoners tsken-princi'
paly wounded soldiers.
The full fruits Of the victory are not vel
known but the'capture Of such stronghold
rs Richmond is great success; but the fail.
ure TO corral the Confederate host detracts
materially from the magnitude of the VIC
tory.
Sherman's army is at Goldsboro, North
Carolina. For some unexplained reason be
made no advance in ten or twelve days
The fight at Bentonville on the 10Th of
March. seems to have been more important
than FIRST reported. Both sides claim ,c'

Gen. Candy is beseiging Mobile, and the
place has been reported captured but the
news has not been confirmed.

STRANGE OCCUKKENCE.-The Sacramen 10
Bee of April 4th has the following: A
most strange and singular occurrence took
place at the restaurant Of Thomas Guieneag,
on Friday last. A soldier, while sitting at
the table, waiting for his dinner, was seized
with violent crampng pains in his stomach
So severe was bis torture that he fell from
his chair to the floor. Soon after his fall
singular reptile crawled out of his mouth
This reptile or snake is about seven inches
long, Of dingy white color, and has black
stripe running through the length Of the
center Of its body. There is no head to the
snake perceptibIe, each end appearing like
the end Of those vermcular objects which
occasionally trouble children, especially in
the Eastern States. The body Of the reptile
(Which is preserved in spiri,s) is in diameter
about the size Of one of Faber's pencils, but
is somewhat hattened, especially near the
extre,niIies. After the snake had left the
mans stomach, his internal tortures appear
cd to incrense with great severity, so much
so that he prayed for immediate death. It
is understood that he is still sick in the
military hospital. Previous to this occur
renee the man had experienced general i'll
health.
