CURE FOR Hoe CHoLERA.-A writer in the
monthly report of the Department of AgIi-
culture gives the following recipe for the CUE
of hog cholera; Sulphur, 2 pounds; cop
peras, pounds madden, 2 pounds black
anthony, ] pound saltpeter, pound arse
mic, pound This quantity is intended for
one hundred hogs, in doses of one pint, night
and morning, mixed in bran or slop of some
kind that the hogs will be likely to cat. 1t
is well also to change hogs upon clean ground.
A good preventive is to keep the pens clear
of manure and all other filth, and have them
as dry as possible"

WASHINGTON, December 3. - The
President has appointed Jas. II. Fisk
Commissioner to examine and report
upon the Oregon Railroad Company,
vice Jesse Applegate, declined.
The Board of Officers, recently in
session at the Navy Department. TO
determine upon the rank of staff off
GERS, have adjourned and submitted
to the Secretary their report, which
will be transmitted to Congress. 1t
is understood that the Board has rec
commended that surgeons of the feet,
paymasters, and engineers of more
than twelve years standing, shall rank
with commanders, surgeons, paymas-
ters and chief engineers of less than
twelve years standing, and the Secre-
| tary of the Admiral and the Secretary
of Vice Admiral shall rank with
Lleutenants, past assistant surgeons,
and first assistant engineers shall
rank next after masters, and third
assistant engineers shall rank with
midshipmen. The above ranks are
one grade below those held by staff
officers for several years past.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Col. Walter
Is. Franklin, of the 21st Infantry,
has been assigned Military Professor
of the Miami University of Ohio,

ing Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-

Treasurer Spinner's report says that
between the 11th of May and the 25th
of November, there were paid for u.
S. six per cent. bonds on account of
the sinking fund and for the fund
held subject to the order of Congress,
the interest and premium paid there
on included, S89, ,282, ,270. These pay
ments exceed half a million dollars
for every working day. The Treas
uTeT now holds in trust for the Seere-
tary of the Treasury, on account of
the two funds named, $75, ,478, 800, In
| u. s. 6 per cent. stocks. The divi-
dends on these stocks, so held. will
net an income to the Treasury and
for the reduction of the public debt
! of 81, ,02S, 728 per annum. There has
already been received for interest on
these bonds s7O4. .304, in gold, which
has been invested In u S. bonds, rep
resenting S787. 300, which are held for
the two funds above named. IF the
same rate of purchase is hereafter
maintained and the accruing interest
invested semi annually in like bonds,
the whole national debt will thus be
paid of in less than thirteen years.

The true secret of SHERMAN's sue
oessful march to Atlanta and the cap
ture of that important point. has
never been fully understood It oc-
CURED in this wise: He had the locals
of the JOURNAL and Courier at the
front, advancing upon the enemy.
while we, for hundred days, care
fully guarded their communications
and forwarded their supplies. Such
a combination of fiery and impetuous
Valor, with COOL cautious prudence,
was too much for the enemy, and
they incontinently skedaddled.
1t iswith peculiar regret that We
observe a disposition on the part Of
these impetuous young warriors to
turn their batteries against each
other. Fortunately. however, in their
last campaign, as in the other, they
seem to have escaped without aay
scratches, fully demonstrating the
correctness Of the old adage that
Fortune faVors the brave" But they
ought not, We venture to suggest. to
tempt the old Dame too strongly.

extremity, when they most need her
