RindeFDeSf,

The terrors OF the destructive disease
now ravaging England are quite sufficient
in themselves, to create alarm in this
country, without exciting it by ridiculous,
foolish fasehoods. For instance, recent
umber of Lynchburg Firginian printed
an article under display head as follows
"THE RINDERPEsT IN NEW YORK.
EIGHT THOUSAND COWS KILLED IN ONE COUNTY"
This was the introduction to letter
taken from The Baltimore Evening
Transcript, written by its New York cor
respondent, which eVinced the usual
amount Of intelligence and truth belong
ing to that class of writer's. After going
through with riguarole about trichina,
the writer announces with a flourish the
following wonderful piece of news: 1t
consists in
"the revelations Of the State Agricultural
Society, which were brought to the notice
of the State Senate yesterday by MIR.
Cornell. While we have been eagerly
scanning day by day the reports from
abroad as to the spread of the Rinderpest
in Europe, in our midst, in the heart of
one of the greatest cattle producing coun.
ties of this State, the fearful disease has
been raging with all the ferceness which
has characterized its presence in Eng land,
and Oh the continent"
And what were these revelations that
proved the existence of the Rinderpest in
the State of New York, and which were
sent abroad and spread before the readers
of the papers at the South with such a
flourish of capitals at the lead of the ar.
ticle? Why, simply this:
ga disease has existed for several years
past, which causes abortion among the
COWS in the dairy Districts and is steadily
increasing, over 5000 cows having been
lost 10 Herkimer county alone in the past
year"
There certainly must have been an alb
ortion somewhere of common sense anC
common intelligence, or no letter writer
would have called abortion, rinderpest
Although both were alarming and des
tructive, the two do not appear to be yer!
nearly related nor dependent upon on
another and we are happy to state to ou
readers that, although the disease whicl
produces abortion has been and is pre-
vailiDg IN this State, the rinderpest ha
not yet crossed the Atlantic.-N. !

THE bombardment of the defenceless
town of Valparaiso by the Spaniards, was
an atrocity that ought to bave been pre-
vented by the combined action of the
British aud American fleets. At first
the British Admiral manifested com
mendable spirit, but he finally wiI,ed.
He was fearful his force was inadequate.
This objection was relieved by Commo-
dore Rogers, the American commander,
who earnestly offered to 60 into the en-
terprise with bis vessels. Still, the Ad-
miral refused, and the destruction went
on. As a large part of the property
destroyed belonged to British and Amer.
lean merchants, it is not likely the end Of
the matter has been reached.

THE Auburn IN. j. Journal recently
contained an article, dictated if not writ

cIusion is reached, that it may reasonably
be expected that in 1868 the South will
choose electors cf President, and if it
should so happen that these electoral
votes, together with those of the Northern
Democrats, care enough to elect Presi
dent aud Vice President, and they are
not allowed, there will be political trouble
of a very formidable character" and with
President johnson in command of the

THE CASE OF THE FLoRIDA.-By recent ad-
vices received by the Navy Department from
Bahia, it appears that the representatives of
our government have formally made the
dnaeYlde honorable to Brazil for the offence COM
mitted about two years ago by the commander
of the gunboat Wachusett, in seizing the rebel
cruiser Florida in the harbor of Bahia, and
bringing her to this country This ceremony
consisted simply in a salute oftwenty-one guns
to the Brazilian flag, on the anniversary of the
Emperor's coronation, fired by the steamer Nip
sic of our navy, and courteously returned, gun
for gun. Commander Blake of the United
States vessel addressed note to the president
of the province of Bahia, in which he said:
.'The undersigned, in executing this duty,
begs leave to express to your Excellency the
sincere hope that with the dying echoes of the
last gun viii also expire any unkind feeling
that may exist in Brazil from the cause which
has given rise to this ceremonial" slt
The Brazilian official, in reply, expressed his
qualification that the United States should thus
have given public satisfaction for the offence
committed against the Brazilian empire in the
tranquility of a profound peace and conveys
the assurance that the homer of the nation is
satisfied and that no resentment remains.

FT0e Persons Burned to
Death. -

New York, Sept. a.
A four story tenement house. No. 1SS avenue
A, corner Of 18th street, was destroyed by fire
yesterday morning about o'clock The fami-
~ OF Cornelius Rotigen, consisting of himself,
his wife and three daughters aged respectively
eight, ten and sixteen were occupying the
third story, and fearing to leap from the win
dows were all burned to death, being found ly-
ing together in one group, their remains being
baked to crisp. Another family of five per-
sons named Harris leaped from the fourth story,
a bed being held below for them to alight on,
and two Of them, the father, Philip Harts,
and a son, Edward Harts missing the bed in
their fall were so severely injured that their
lives are despaired Of All the rest are more
or less injured.
The damage to the building is about $1,000.
