a Remedy for Chicken Cholera.
To the Editors Of the Union and Dispatch.
Having seen communication in the
UNloN AND DIsPATcH over the signature
Of Mediens, Of Giles county, calling for
information on the subject Of chicken
cholera, ] give, through yoar paper, my
experience with the disease in as short a
way as possible live in the east end of
Bedford county, near Fairfield. The
chicken cholera has been prevailing in
this community for several years to a
very serious extent, and many Of our
own fowls, in common with those of 9th
ers, have fallen victims to the disease.
Ny wife, knowing bluestone TO be a REM
edy for hog cholera, concluded to try it
upon chickens, which she did with much
success, and she fully believes it is a pre-
ventive, and probably cure The way
it is used is this. Dissolve a little in
water, and make dough with the water
and feed it to your chickens every day,
or every other day. 1t is quite a simple
renedT, aud believe well worth a trial

General Jumcs Long&hec
GENERAL: In your admirable letter
Of the 9th ult, you remarked that 'our
efforts ut reconstruction will be vain
and useless unless We embark in the
enterprise with the sincerity Of pur-
pose which will command success"
The spirit which inspired the above
paragraph, together with the fact that
thousands of brave soldiers arc still
ready to follow their leader wherever he
ma YAaee fit to call them. has cmboldcn-
cd mo to extend to you an invitation to
attend mass meeting in Laylayctlc
Square tomorrow evening, at which
Hon. Henry Wilson, distinguished
leader IN the Republican party, will ad-
dress the citizens Of New Orleans.
AS soldiers we were opposed TO each
other during the la;c war, but as citizens
may we not wisely unite in efforts to
restore Louisiana to her former position
in The Uuion through the party now in
power, and which in all probability
will retain power for many years to
come ? II you accept shall be glad
to hear your views on the condition oi
public affairs.
Respectfully, yours, &c.
