Tx CATTLE DIsEAsE.-A statement
made concerning the Texas cattle dis.
ease, by J. R. Dodge, Statistician of
the Department oil Agriculture, rs the
result Of extended investigation, gives
the following points:
First. That the disease is communi.
Gated By cattle from Texas, Floridn and
other portions of the Gulf coast.
Second. Tint such disease Is itself
unknown IN Texas or the Gulf coast.
Third. That the cattle communicating
are not only apparently healthy, but IRE
generally improving in condition.
Fourth. That while local herds re-
ceiylng the injection, nearly all die,
they never communicate the disease to
others.
Fifth. That either a considerable in
crease in elevation, or II distance OF
two or three degrees Of latitude from
the standing point, is necessary to de.
velop the veins into activity nnd yiru-
lrucy, and II further progress of two
degrees Of latitude, and II few weeks in
time, is sufficient to eliminate The poison
from the system.
Sixth That Texas cattle, removed to
other miasma'ic sertiuns, as the Mis-
sissippi bottoms, up to the thirty. sixth
parallel, will communicate no injection
to local herds.
Seventh. Medication thus far has
been Of no avail.
It concludes that the disease canno
be general that it can exist only with
the movement Of Texas cattle, which
should lie regulated or suppressed, aud
that it does not result from travel, but
from climate causes.

RAILROAD COLLISION - Some addi-
tioual PARTICULARS are given Of the col
lision which occurred on the Central
Pacific Railroad, on the morning Of the
3lst ullimo. The collision was between
q freight train coming west, and drawn
by the locomotive Montana, and II train
with construction material, drawn by
the locomotive Arctic. The freight
train left Truckee at 6:35 A. NJ, having
been delayed, and met the construction
train ut Purcell's Camp, between tun-
nels Nos. IL and Is. The engineers
were prevented from seeing each others
trnin BY n bend in the road until within
two hundred feet Of each other, when
it was too late 10 prevent q collision.
In striking, the Montana, q fifty tor en-
CINE, passed over the top OF the Arctic,
an engine weighing t~hirty-six tons,
crushing it entirely The Montana WAS
also badly injured, perhaps a total
wreck. The two engineers, Minnie and
Forsythe, were slightly bruised, and Il
man whose name we could not learn,
was quite severely hurt, perhaps fatally.
The cause Of tho collision was in the
delay Of the freight train, leading to the
belief Of the person IN charge Of the
construction train that il would not be
on the road.-S1c. Reporter, Sept. I'd.

STEVENS AND Sorru CAROLINA
Times change. The legislature Of South
Carolina has passed resolutions Of re-
greet in consequence of the death OF
Thaddeus Stevens. We can fancy the
intense scorn of the Rhetts and the
Chestnuts and the Hamptons, when they
hear of it. To think that iu the Legs
laturc Of South Carolina, the most aris-
toerstic Of all the Southern States, the
originator Of the rebellion, and the i'm
perious master which dragooned the
other States Of the South into the war
Of treason, resolutions should be pre-
sented aud passed which represent that
the people Of the State regret the death
Of the man who was the very head and
front Of radiealism, the man who was
10 favor Of the abolition Of slavery at
the time when slave drivers cracked
their whips in Congress ; the nan who
has been most strenuous for the recog-
milton Of equal political rights to oil
men. Why, it is disgusting And
yet, from the freemen of South Carroll
ma, no n was better entitled to the
expression Of esteem than Thaddeus
Stevens. It is a marvellous change,
however, to learn that resolutions of
regret for the death Of an Aboli,ionist
should come from South Carolina.
Things have indeed changed marvellous
" in that once naughty Commonwealth.

THE PAcIFIo RAILROAD There are

the New York Express, IN speaking Of
this great work, ",here are ten spikes
to II rail, four hundred rails to n mile,
and eighteen hundred miles to San
Francisco. That's the sum of the Pa
cl6c Railroad, and the quotient is that

Of the close of mex year It will be 6n-
ished early 10 the year. One thousand
miles have been constructed in two
years, crossing the two great mountain
ranges Of the continent, so tar exceed
ing all railroad building or nll works Of
man ever before attempted, that there
is no comparison to be made with it.
It will stand a monument to the great
glory Of American energy and power

rAxER LEAVES THE PAaTY.-The Demo-
cratic Convention at Lagrange on We'd
nesday last was u rowdy affair. Sever
Al speeches were made to cheer the
faithful, and the Convention proceeded
TO organization AT this point q trouble
arose from the desire manifested BY the
C~onfederates to exclude certain Federal
officers from II proper part in the pro-
ceedings. General Walter Whitaker,
late Of the Federal army, protested
against this action, and in the end his
protest was unheeded, aud his claims to
\ hearing disregarded. Whereupon
General Whitaker made II speech,
wherein be- boldly uttered the following
language : " here aud now denounce
and desert your party. cannot do
Justice to myself and the country, and
stay with such u corrupt party as you
have become here to-day. You men
who have fought in the Southern army
come back here 10 d,y with the blood
boiling in your veins to exclude from
your counsels, me, who fought, and
have the character for some bravery, to
protect your homes and firesides, and
who exerted himself in defense of the
families Of those who had left their
homes. I am here and intend TO be
beard" At this point the tumul, was
at its hight, aud the crowd rushed to
the doors. In the excitement General
Whitaker was struck on the head 10y
Charles Long, Of Louisville, causing
the blood to flow freely. Subsequently
order was restored, and Boyd Winches-
ter, of Louisville, was nominated tor
Congress. We have our report OF the
Convention from a gentleman who was
presen, and participated in its proceed.

The Freuch Government is now en-
gagged 10 purchasing large quantities Of
hay in the New York market, and i'm

gether with recent heavy purchases Of
horses for the amt party, and the enor-
nous accumulation of bullion in the
Bank Of France equal to $3.50, DOC, 900
in gold, now, is looked upon By not a

ing war-uotwithstandiug the Empe-

is much dissatisfaction of n political
character beginning to manifest itself
IN very u~nmistakable forms nmong the

peror, to avert trouble at home, mny
deem 1t polite to get up o war with his

II 1t is her intention tU fight any nation,
we think Napoleon has about rs great II
grudge ngaiusl the United States rs any
country we know of, and il BIZ ever gets

drift Of his feelings relative to that
little Mexican affair" Napoleon the
Third, we are satisfied, never forgives,
and things that come home to his own
family we doubt whether he ever for
gets. With the present condition Of
our affairs, and the m,ny Improvements
it Is claimed Napoleon has made in the
modern art Of warfare, he may think It
probable that he can subdue nur i leetle

vessels loaded with a p"rt Of that
million OF men he is said to have in uni
form, to some of our ports, aud demand
restitution for some Of our past otfenses.
But seriously, the free importation cf
cereals to thnt country by royal prncla-
nation, the accumulation Of treasure,
the purchasing Of n lnrgc number Of

quantities OF forage, indicate that some
thing unusual is about transpiring-
whether war or q production OF the
