DESTRUCTIVE MULE DtsTENrEE.-In the last
few days, accounts from the river report 4 fright
full mortality among the mules on various plant
atoms. We heard the estimate made yesterday,
that as many as two thousand had died in forty
eight hours. If this be so, the planters should
at once take such precautionary steps as may be
necessary to arrest the progress Of the disease
We do not presume to say that it is the same, or
bears any resemblance to the English cattle
plague, but having that before us as 4 warming
We Should profit BY it. The disease is represent
