AN UNMTIGATED NUIsANCE.-A letter,
dated New Orleans, Dec. "a, says:
If you visit our State and go upon the
plantations, your first impression and your
fixed and fast conviction would be that the
Freedmen's Bureau is the most diabolical
and accursed institution that was ever put
into operation in civilized community,
and that its inevitable result will be to ruin
and destroy the race for whose protection
il was created.
II should be born in mind by all such
eomplainants that the Freedmen's Bureau
is a new invention of furuihlrc-a bureau
for yankees and coffin for niggers.

Fearful Story of Hydropbob,a.

Mr.. Henry Drew, Assistant Superinten-
dent of Public Property, has related TO us
the particulars of case Of -hydrophobia at
the village Of Waterloo, which sufpasses in
tragic interest almost any story OF the kind
we ever read.
Some six or seven years ago mad dog
went through the Village of Waterloo JET
ferson county, and bit number of animals
Among others he snapped at the leg of a
COW belonging to Mr.. Babcock. The ami
nal was examined but no mark was
found, and It was supposed that 1t escaped
being bitten. The animal was afterward
sold to q man by the name of Garrison,
who used her milk very freely, rs did two
Of his children, Some of the neighbors,
including Mr.. Drew's family, were also sup
piled wit}l the milk of this COW.
At different times during the time since
the COW was bitten, there has been inexpli-
cable and fatal sickness among those using
her milk, and two children of Mr.. Garrison,
two of Mr.. Drew, and two Others have been
attacked with spasms and died in agony
Mr.. Garrison las also been attacked at TIMES
with spasms. The mystery of this sick
ness was solved by the death, with every
symptom Of hydrophobia. a short time ago,
of the COW so slightly bitten seven years
ago, and in whose system madness had been
latent ever since.-Mddfson (Wis.) Journal.

seven hundred dollars, within the last three

-nE GOLD MARKET. The speculation in
~cld is not abated by the disbursement of nine
Millions from the Treasury since the lst instant
:; payment of interest on Five-twentes. The
premium stood yesterday at over hfty-6ve.
",hough gold is not in demand for shipment,
.he amount afoat is so small that it can easily
>e controlled by speculative ring. Besides,
MS is the dull season Of the ear, and there is
20 employment for the mass Of currency which
6 accumulated in the commercial centres.
I,:oney is worth only four or five per cent, a
ear in New York, while in London the rate of
interest is ten per cent. This accounts for the
;;se in the gold premium. The paper currency
8 wanted for no other purpose than specula-
ci1, and gold lis cheapin comparison with other
commodities, at any rate under two hundred.

lie is very feeble; has difficulty in walk

has the freedom Of the fort during the day,

bv sentinels on each side of the room. A
brilliant light is kept shining in the grated
door. and the reflection on the white walls
of his room, united with the noise insepara-
hle from the duties Of the guards keep him
awake and restless. He gains no flesh, and
the constant irritation to which his nervous

! from three different points, simultaneously.
First, they have entered from Silesia, on the
| cast, making the frontier town Of Gorlitz
their base Of operations, and have seized
Lobau, town on the highroad to Dresden,
through Bautzen, and about forty-iye miles
from the capital. From Lobau another road
runs south 10 Zittau on the frontier Of Bo-
hemia, here divided from Saxony by the
Rieasen Goberge.
The Prussians have also seized Zittau,
with the obvious intention Of checking the
Austrians from rushing down these noun
tains, seizing the great road from Gorlitz to
Dresden, and thus Cntting off the Prussian
communications with Silesia. Secondly,
they have invaded from the north, ascend
ing the line of the Elbe from their base at
Torqua, and have seized Sretla, only thirty
five miles from Dresden, along the Elbe and
through Riesa and Miessen. The assertion
Of the lHOniteur that they had reached Meis-
sen on Saturday was probably premature
The SaxOns accordingly tore up the Riesa
railway, with view Of impeding this des-
cent on Dresden.
Thirdly, they have invaded the Halle and
Sekendetz on the west, and are now probably
in Le;psic.

1t has been arranged that the Great East
ern, with new Atlantic cable and the remains
of the old line on board, should sail from
Sneerness on the Both ult, stopping for a
time 70 coal, at BeerhaYen, she viii reach
Valentia about the second week of July, and
the shore end of the cable having been con-
nected with the main line, the operations of
laying will be commenced. The big ship
will first lay the new cable from the Irish
coast to Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, and
presuming this to be successfully done aud
telegraphic communication established, she
will then steam back to the middle of the
Atlantic and attempt to pick up the cable
lost overheard in July last. The twelve
hundred miles of cable now lying on the bed
of the Atlantic are to be connected with the
eleven hundred miles left on board, and if
all goes well the ship is to retrace her course
to Trinity Bay and so completes double line
of union between the two continents.

Is an article upon the manufacturing in-
torests OF st. Louis the Democrat makes a
comparison in the trade in tobacco between
the years 1860 and 1865, from which the
following result appears In 1860 there were
twelve manufacturing establishments in ST.
Louis, with a capital Of 100000; in 1865
there were sixty-two establishments, employ
ing two millions and a half Of capital, being
more than a million and half in excess of
the capital invested in the entire State in
1860. The Government tax alone on tobao-
60 manufactured in ST. Louis in lS66 was
sll7l 6Sl, the tobacco being valued at
$4,000, an increase Of eighty per cent
over the total product Of the State in 1850,
and one thousand per cent on the product
Of ST. Louis in the same year.
