DR.. Holden, of Newark, N. J., formerly
of the United States Medical Service, at 8
recent meeting Of the Essex Medical
Union, read an interesting paper on
peculiar disease which has appeared on
board our iron-clsds. The disease, which
was denominated Iron.clad Fever" for
the want of 8 name, never occurred any
where else, or st least has never been before
made the subject Of report or record It
msde its appearance soon after the first
iron-clsds were anchored in Southern hAr-
bors. It was very fatal; only about one
eighth Of those attacked recovered. The
earliest or prominent symptoms were, the
entire loss Of voice, with pain in the head,
neck and spine. Dissection proved that
an important spinal nerve was the subject
of disease. Great prostration wss evident
among those who were exposed, but were
not the subjects of attack. Gases not too
far advanced recovered when taken ashore.
The disease wholly ceased when certsin
important improvements were introduced,
accomplishing more perfect ventilation,
and the Wster-tsnks were lined. DR..
Holden attributes the disease to the infu-
ence of the iron surroundings, and the use
of the water, so impregnAted with IRON
rust As to be of dark-red color, and thick
consistence; also, to the want Of Ventila-
ticn, which wss probably the real cause.
When mora efficient means were adopted
to force air into the cabins by the use Of the
engine blowers, the disease was no longer
observed.-NetO York 1Ti btLne.

Associated Press Report.
THE FUNERAL TRAIN,

TRENTON, n. J., April "a.
The funeral train reached here st $50
o'clock this morning. Gov. Parker and
staff, of New Jersey, were taken on board
at the dividing line.
NEW BRuNswICK, n. j., April "a.
The funeral train arrived here on time.
An immense crowd was at the depot, and
minute guns we're fred while it was here
and until it left. The train consisted of
nine cars and left st 1856.
We are in sight of Newsrk-private
residences, and public buildings, and stores,
and workshops are drsped In mourning
some of them elSborstely. Flags at half
mast and other evidences of sorrow ex-
hibited. Among the more prominent fss-
tures, was the United States Hospital suit
ably decorated. In front were a large
number Of soldiers, some Of them on
crutches. All the patients who could move,
were drawn up in double file, every one of
them standing uncovered. They seemed
to be deeply affected by the touching spec
tAcle.
At 10 o'clock we arrived at Jersey City
Here the arrangements seemed to be per-
feet. Nothing had been neglected which
could give due effect TO the ceremonies of
the occasion.
The coffin was removed from the hearse-
car by eight soldiers. It was partially
covered with the American f and with
flowers. In the presence of the military
ard of civilians, Lcluding the escort
which had followed the remains from
Washington, it was slowly carried between
open ranks, while many male voices sung
funeral hymn. All heads were un-
covered.
When the corpse was leaving the station
again the Harmonic and Hoboken Quar-
tstte Clubs, forming 8 chorus of about two
hundred. voices, sung funeral dirge.
At Jersey City the Joint Committee of
the Common Council of New York, with
the entire Common Council his Honor
the Mayor, and delegation of State off,
cisls had met previous to the arrival of
the train.
8, The remains were received on behalf of
the State of New York by Hon, Chancey
II. Depew, Secretary of State, and then
consigned TO the Committee.
The hearse was placed on ferry boat
and taken In charge by Major General Dix.

NEW YORK, April "a.
The Tunes Washington special says
Moseby secured basis of agreement sim
liar to that obtained by Johnston.
4 person who was present at the consul
tation informs the correspondent that the
memorandum or basis Of agreement was
drawn mp by General Chapman in pres
ence of twenty-five Federal and twenty
Rebel officers, and provided that Moseby
should surrender upon the same
terms as Johnston if the latter should sur
render that two days srmistice should be
allowed to submit the agreement to Gen.
eral Hancock for his approval; that if
Hancock approved then ten days were to
be allowed Moseby to get a reply from
Johnston, and in the mean time no mArud-
ing should take place IN Fsuguier and Lou
don's companies, and thst if failed to sur
render or got whipped then Moseby would
surrt nder on the terms upon which Lee
surrendered.
The Worlds Washington special says
q letter from Burksville, Virginia states
that some OF the paroled men from Lees
army have been detected in tearing up the
railroad between that place and Rich
mond. The parties were not caught but
if arrested they are liable to be tried and
and Immediately shot for a violation of
their parole. The same letter adds that
the last remnant of Lees army, composed
Of some dozen regiments and one old am
bulance, had the day before taken their
melancholy departure for home.

We have hardly got over cheering for
Sheridan, Custer and StOnemsn before a
new cavalry leader demands our attention
and applause. Wilson, after taking Selma
and Montgomery and capturing Forrest
and his command, has swept on hundred
and seventy miles east, to Macon in the
heart of Georgia, one of the most impor-
tant points left to the Confederscy, arriv-
ing there on Thursday, the 2Otb. Here, it
had been once reported, JEFF. Davis had es-
tablished his wandering capital. Of course
this is false, and JEFF is probably still in
North Carolina. In his present position,
however, Wilson has a splendid chance to
block his escape, should he dodge Stone
man. Unluckily, he is parslyzed by thSt
most fl-stsrred armistice of ShermkRs,
His prisoners, including such men as How
ell Cobb and General Gustsvus Smith, will
be allowed to escape, and JEFF. Davis to
slip through his fingers.

Remarkable Interview between the
President and British Minister.

lMA1nAnBiOu OoE. Slu- GaL5bbel
Sir Frederick Bruce's interview with
President johnson WAS as informal and as
undiplomstic as President Lincoln himself
could have made it. This new minister
made his appearance with all his stars and
decorations on, presented his credentials,
and formally read his speech. Mr.. John
son replied, saying that he was glad TO sec
him and to welcome to the Capital rep.
resentstive of Great Britain, and then
added: "But, sir, am not much used to
the diplomatic fOrmslities customary on
such occasions. My idea is simply that
two g-est nations ought to conduct their
relations very much as two neighbors who
sincerely desire peace and good fellowship
between themselves would do, and that
the less msre formality about it the better"
"I assure you, Mr.. President" interrupted
Sir Frederick, pointing to his uniform and
decorations "thst should feel very much
more at ease without these things than
with them"
The remark was SO thoroughly English,
and at the same time SO consonant to
American prejudice against fuss and festh-
ers that the President and Minister became
friends at once, and sat down for q chat.
or { cEoueIl-A hshoQ hOOub CQ6fmAGs ITed-
ident johnson explained the position
"What chance is there for Mr.. DaYis,
then?" asked Sir frederick HOh, 3
small particle still; doubtless his escspe
across the country" said the President-
"Well," replied the Minister in an in
quiring tons, II should think that Mr..
Davis and 3 few members Of his Cabi-
net would probably ind it well to start
pretty soon ?" "Ifthey know what Is for
their interest,"" responded the President
rather gTimly, 'they had better not lose
time about it" "Phe time has come" he
added, when traitors must be taught that
they are criminals. The country has
clearly made up its mind on that point
and it can find no more earnest sgent Of
It's viii than myself"
There was then a renewal Of the mutual
promise to talk over any difficulties that
might arise between Grest Britain sndthe
United States like two neighbors sincerely
desirous of good terms With each other, and
20 the interview ended.
