THE RINDERPEST,

- Thomas H. Dudley, Esq, United States Con-
sui at the port of Liverpool, has transmitted to
the Department of State an elaborate account
of the rinderpest. now raging in England. The
dispatch is accompanied by copious extracts
from English papers in reference to the plague,
and contains much valuable information to
farmers and graZiers of this country.
The dispatch has been referred by Secretary
Seward to the Agricultural Depai tment. The
Consul says that the belief seems to be gaining
ground that vaccination, as a preventive, is q
failure; nevertheless, there are writers, said to
be good authorities on the subject, who affirm
that vaccination, properly performed, confers
protection. One Of these writers, a Mr.. Tolle-
macbe, says that the animals should be yacci-
mated in five or six places, so as 10 thoroughly
impregnate them with the virus. He also
thinks that, owing to the great demand,
was impure and worthless. The Gov
eminent has, at length, taken hold of the
matter. and Is importing vaccine virus from
not confined to England alone, but it prevails
upon the continent, in Belgium, Holland, Prus-
STA, some OF the German States, and in part of

been stamped out; but before it had run its
course four. ffhs Of oil the co,cs in EdiRburg hare

FREED PEOPLE OF ANNAPOLIS.

Commu nicatlons having been received from
citizens of Annapolis, Nd, and its vicinity,
stating that the freedmen of that section We're
in 4 dreadfully destitute condition, General
Howard directed an inspecting officer to pro-
coed to Annapolis and investigate the matter.
The officer reports that very little suffering
from restitution could be discovered. The In
spector says of the negro apprenticeship laws
of Maryland that many complaints Were made
by the freedmen of abuses perpetrated upon
them from time to time, which have been left
unpublished, OWING to the unfriendlIness OF
the authorities. In one case, a colored wo-
man, sick with consumption, was deprived of

He was supporting his mother and himself
comfortably by honest toll. Now, 10 be sure,
he has master to teach him industrious
habits, who receives his labor rs an equivalent,
but his mother has become dependent upon
charity for an existence. The officer thinks
that as administered, this apprentice law is
but an instrument of oppression, a crying evil,
for which remedy should be found. With
Judges and magistrates generally unfriendly,
and the courts closed against him, the negro
finds himself powerless to oppose the separa-
ton Of his family, even though the law pro-
rides that the consent of the parents must be
