1t is due, no doubt, to specific poison, attack
ing the nervous centre, causing great debil-
ity and a sort of remittent fever. Its specific
action, however, is on the mucus membrane
of the eyes, of the nose, and of the bronchi; !;
the back part of the mouth may become afec-
ted, causing sore throat; the lungs or the
pleura, causing pneumonia or pleurisy, and
the intestines, causing diarrhea. The disease
generally begins with chillness and shivering,
which is Immediately followed by discharges
of mucus from the nose, the eyes, the mouth,
the windpipe, the veins or small blood vessels,
or the bronchial tubes.
"These symptoms are accompanied by list
lessness, depression and an extraordinary
weakness. The cough and difficulty of res
piration may not occur until the third or fourth
day: .
1.-The disease in its favorable form ends in
about eight or ten days, generally by critical
diarrhea of few hours. As this disease, like
all malarious diseases, seems to be due to
parasitic evolution, Conveyed by some insect
preying on the flesh of the patient only such
disinfectants as will destroy this class Of organ
ism can be of any use. Antiseptics prevent
the evolution of gases and destroy the germs
of putrefaction. Carbolic acid is cne Of the
best and cheapest of these antiseptics"
By reference to our Boston letter this week,
it will be seen that our correspondent gives
the mode of treatment successfully followed
in that city and vicinity, and is very near the
same as given by the Washington physician
from whom the above is quoted.
In order to guard against the spread of
the disease in this State, and to prevent its
being communicated by diseased animals,
Governor Scott has issued proclamation
prohibiting the importation of horses and
mules by sea during the existence Of this ep-
idemic, and requiring that all vessels having
such cargo arriving at the ports of Charleston,
Georgetown and Hilton Head, be directed to
remain at quarantine anchorage until they
are visited and inspected by the health officer
of said ports respectively. This is wise
precaution, and the people generally should
use every exertion in their power to preserve
the health of their animals.

The Circuit Court for this county will
commence its sittings on Monday next, with
Judge Mackey presiding. Upon enquiry, we
learn that at present there are but two cases
on the criminal docket, neither Of which will
probably come to trial. It is likely that the
Court will remain in session only few days.

Governor Scott, in the plenitude of his

ofits cultivation must now vanish.

and in the streets and die without apparent
pain. Thus far the deaths of horses in this
city are small compared with that of New
York and other cities where the disease has
prevailed for longer period. 1t is the opin-
ion of many skillful veterinary surgeons that
if the cases which occur are taken in hand
early and properly treated cure can soon
be effected, but if the disease is allowed to
take its course, and the horses kept at hard
work, there is much danger Of influenza,
which is q difficult disease to master. Out
Of one hundred horses belonging to the COM
pany engaged in transferring passengers and
baggage to and from the dep6ts and hotels,
ninety are troubled with a cough, general
langour and discharge from the nostrils.
The horses of the large express companies
and truckmen are more or less affected, and
the business of transportation has almost en-
tirely ceased. Many of the cars on the prin-
cipal street railroads have stopped running,
and all the omnibusses of one line have been
hauled off duty in consequence of sickness of
the horses. Some of the owners of large
stocks of horses seem to be very uneasy, while
others don't appear to borrow much trouble
about the matter, and continue to work their
horses as long as they will eat, taking great
care not to overtask them and feeding them
on light diet. Until to-day the weather
has been very favorable to the disease; but
this morning chilling East wind set in and
the cases have increased very rapidly. tits
estimated that not less than three thousand
horses, in this city alone, are more or less af-
fected with this catarrhal fever" AS there
is possibility of its spreading towards the
South, I here append the recipe for the cure

The New England States in an agricul-
tural point of view, would not have very
heavy resources in case they were compell-
ed to fall back upon themselves for bread
stuffs. Vermont comes the nearest to rails
ing its own wheat, and, taking the census
figures as a guide, and reducing wheat to
flour and allowing each inhabitant the ar
my ration, we find that the Green Noun
tain State can just raise enough bread to
feed its population thirty-seven days.
Maine by using all its wheat can provide
bread for eleven days; New Hampshire
with decreasing population raises a ten
days supply, and Connecticut about the
same. Massachusetts raises sufficient wheat
to give its inhabitants bread for break
fast and dinner, but not enough for sup
per. Rhode Island does not raise sufficient

Mr.. Grecley,s Business Faculty.

The statement of Mr.. Philip May, a
German, to the editor of the Knoxville
CHRONICLE, explaining how he was de-
ceived into investing, by the advice of
Horace Greeley, in colony in North Car
olina, and how disastrously that scheme
affected himself and his fellow-dupes, has
been published in the Times. The story
has elected from the Chicago Times this
comment: zone of Mr.. Greeley's victims
has risen up in evidence against him. 1t
has been pretty well understood for some
time that whenever swindling adventur-
er wanted to organize colony for the pur-
pose of selling useless tract of land that
he had more or less uncertain title to, all
that was necessary was to tickle Mr.. Gree
ley's vanity; represent that it was splen
did opportunity for working men, and
forthwith, he orally and through the col
umns of the New York Tribune, would
endorse it in all respects, and commend it
to the favor of the public without reserve.
Hence the grievances which Mr.. Philip
May recently recited to the editor Of the
Knoxville CHRONICLE. Now, it is not
supposed that Mr.. Greeley profited in the
remotest degree by this fraudulent scheme;
but how monstrous to elect as President of
the United States a man who could be so
easily duped as to lend himself to such an
imposition !''-NeaO York Times, 26th.

The New York NatiOn-anOther of the
Reform journals-also calls upon Gratz
Brown to withdraw from theIGreeley tick
ct. Reviewing his penitential letter, it
says:
We find it little difficult to make out
the meaning of all this, but we take it to
be that, while the statement of the clerk
was correct as to the main fact, it was err
roneous as to some of the incidents, and
that what liquor Mr.. Brown took during
the evening he took as defense against
premonitory symptoms of cholera that
when engaged in the discharge of official
duties he takes nothing stronger than wa
ter. We have no wish to press hard on
him in this matter, but it is a very serious
matter, and after what happened on the
4th of March, 1865, calls for plain speech.
We feel obliged to say, therefore, that the
frequency with which attacks of certain
classes of disease are now put forward as
an excuse for intOXication has deprived
that plea of its value. A man who is liza
BILE to get drunk every time he has tooth
ache or stomach ache, or a touch of neu-
ralgia, is therefore not fit for high and
conspicuous public office, and ought not to
be entrusted with it, and it aOould be q
proper and graceful thing for Mr.. Broe0n
to Withdraw his infrmities from public

The "organs., RaIlying for Chca,ham.

INV vi 6onS AEyAhS SHco'hdAH'
From the Huntsville Vidette.]
We place at our masthead this morning.
the name of General B. F. Cheatham, for
Congress for the State at large. In doing
SO, we shall not attempt to disguise our
preference for ex-President. AS our coun-
ty convention refused to instruct the dele
gates for Andy, by voting down resolu-
tod offered by Mr.. johnson, of this place,
we think the people of Trousdale county
duty bound to support the nominee, the
county having been committed to him by
her delegates in the late convention and
if under no other consideration, which is
great one, the preservation and OrganiZa-
ton of the party, whose rights and prin-
ciples we have so long contended for.
From the Union City Courier.l
. We nail to our masthead to-day the
name of General Cheatham as the choice
of the Democracy of Tennessee for Con-
gresham from the State at large. For
thirty years his name has been identified
with the history of Tennessee, and with
the honor and renown her SONS have won
on every battlefield, from Monterey to the
City of Mexico, and from Belmont to the
closing scenes of our dreadful civil war.
Foremost in war, by reason of his high
courage, wisdom and sagacity which form
the military leader; the same courage, wis
dom, and sagacity, the patriotic self-devO-
ton, point him out as eminently qualified
to be our standard bearer in the civil strife
now waging for the restoration of the
rights and liberties, peace and prosperity,
of our country.

Thin Seeding Better than Thick Seeding

Experiments in sowing wheat show that
in plots where one bushel to the acre is
sown the proportionate yield is greater
than on fields where two bushels are sown.
1t is estimated there are from $50 600 to
200 grains in bushel of wheat-say
100000. There are 6,27S, $40 square inches
in an acre. Using one bushel per acre
there would be about one seed to each nine
and one-third square inches. Suppose
each plant to tiller nine or ten fold land it
most certainly will, under halfway favor
able conditions), it gives one stalk or head
to the square inch, which is many more
than can mature under the most favorable
circumstances. 1t is, therefore, plain that
one bushel of good seed per acre is super
abundance. In sowing two we waste one,
even though it does not decrease the yield.

A threshing machine took fire at Du--

William Spronie, who was feeding
jumped upon the top to put out the fire,
but being unable to do so, and the fire
driving him back, he stepped by mistake
on the feed board. AS the machine was
in motion he was dragged in bodily. His
right leg was torn raggedly off above the
knee and passed into the machine, and his
thigh bone was broken in four places.
The machine was stopped by the flesh in
side and the man taken out. He bled to
death in fifteen minutes. The machine
was entirely consumed,
