side; the patient IS rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tte and sickness; the bowels in gem
eral arc costive, sometimes alternative

thing which ought 10 have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton Of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer

he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases

In the senate yesterday some business on
the calendar WAS disposed ofuutil the cxpiru-
tOm OF the morning hour, when the SpOfOrd-
Kellogg case was called up by Mr.. Salisbury,
and Messrs. Herman, Call and johnson ad-
dressed the senate in favor OF the resolution of
the committee. Quite II number of umimportant
bills on the calendar were called up by diff
ferent senators and disposed OF without much
debate, aud the senate then adjourned.
In the house some forty or fifty bills were
introduced under the regular Mondays call
during the morning hour.
On motion of 1Ir. Haskell, the bill to con-
firm the Ute agreement was taken up, dis
cussed for II half hour and passed under a
suspension Of the rules with but fifteen dissent
ing votes
Mr.. Wright moved to suspend tho rules and
pass The bill TO enforce the eght-hour law.
On the question of secOnding the motion no
quorum voted, and after several motions to
adjourn and a call of the house, Mr.. Wright
seeing lie could not command the vote of a
quorum on his motion, withdrew it, on au as.
surance from the speaker that lie should be
recognized during the last six days of the ses.
sion, when motion to suspend the rules will
be in order for the same purpose.
The speaker then signifed his intention To
recognize gentlemen to move to suspend tho
rules and pass bills for public buildings in the
order they stood upon the calendar.
Mr.. Van Voorhis moved to suspend the rules
and pass bill for u building at Rochester
~ Y, and appropriating 100000 for the pur
pose.
On seconding the motion no quorum voted
and it being evident that the friends of the
bills could not secure quorum, the house
after some little delay, adjourned.

General Hatch tolcgraphs from Fort Craig,
under date of May 81, stating that his four
companies are reduced to about 100 men, and
the Indian scouts are in pursuit Of the ln-
diaus going TO Mexico. There are about 100
warriors in the party. The Indians arc prob.
ably Mexican Indians and not Victoria's main
force, rs supposed by Lieutenant Nancy, MS
they have many wounded The general in
concluding, says: MAY catch them before
they reach the line. My orders are such that
| can follow them no further, and must look
out for Indian bands in the mountains here,
Cusnck, with four companies-l2O men-is
doing hard scouting and good work east of the
Rio Graudo. Casualties in my command
should give me fifty Indian scouts-more val
liable now than four times the number of re-
cruits. The surprise made by the scout on the
cath is more serious to the hostiles than at
first supposed. The following is Lieutenant

THE ARMY WORM.
Its I,nvnces in New Jersey.

RED BANK, N. j., June THE newly.ar.
rived pcs tho army worm, which has just put
In an appearance here, is completing the ter
ribe destruction commenced by the great
drought. As soon rs tho worm was discovered
active measures were taken TO stop its prog
ress, but at first 1t was not recognized in its
proper character, and the same method used
in fighting the potato-bug was used to destroy
the army worm.
Reports from Long Branch, Mechanicsvillc,
Morrisvile, Shrewsbury, Middlotown and
Tinton's Falls say that the ravagcs made by
this insect have been very severe. 1t is re-
ported that acres of timothy and rye belong
ing to George Hance at Tiuton's Falls were
destroyed in one night. On the farms OF Sam
ucl Hendrickson, near Rumscn, and George
Stillwell, at Shrewsbury, the damage Is very
great. About Freehold and Marlborough and
on toward Keyport the worms are found III
great numbers, and move in solid phalanx.
When once they attack wheat, rye, corn or
grass field they do not pass out of it until they
have left nothing edible in it, The worms for
some cause avoid clover fields, but will strip Il
timothy field quicker than II mOwing.Tpa.
chine. The greatest deprcdations are reported
at New Bedford. There the farmers are re-
ported as being unable to cope with the
scourge. The appearance of the worm was
sudden and il was not recognized, twenty
years having elapsed since the army worm last
visited this region,

Arrest of Virginia puelIsts.

RICHMOND, VA, June 7.-Warrants were
issued to-day for the arrest of w. c. Elan,
editor of the Wing, and Colonel Thomas Smith,
son of OK. Governor William Smith, on charge
of engaging in duel, and Joseph B. Walters,
business manager of the Wig, and General
w. III. Payne for encouraging and promoting
said duel. The meeting took place yesterday
morning near this city, almost on the identical
ground where the fatal McCarty- Mordecai
duel occurred several years since. Elan fell
at tho first fire, his opponents ball taking
effect in the centre of the chin, splitting the
bone aud fracturing the right iawbone. The
wound is severe, but not considered danger
ous The warrants were served on Mr.. Elan
and his alleged second, Mr.. Walters, but
Elam's condition precluding removal, he was
paroed Walters was arrested, but subse-
qucntly bailed in 81 000 for his appearance
next Saturday.
Colonel Smith and his party have not been
arrested. 1t Is reported that Immediately
after the duel they proceeded in the direction
OF West Point, where they intend to take tho
steamer for Baltimore, thus getting beyond
the jurisdiction of the state. The meeting
had its origin in an article which appeared in
the IVhig last Tuesday, headed Political
Pocms," and which denounced in unmeasurcd
terms the funders, or so much of the conserva-
tive party as have utterly rcpudated tho old
name under which it had masquoraded and
assumed n new style-the democratic party OF
Virginia. This deuuncatiOn embraced all
the leaders since 1850, and included the gov.
ernor of Virginia, William Smith, who was
chief executive officer at the close of the war.
Hence the implication of his son in the pres
cuL affair.

Up to the hour Of recess there had been
eighteen ballotings, with very slight changes
from the first. On tho eighteenth ballot Grant
had gained one vote and Blaine had lost one
over their first votes. In the evening session
on tho first ballot Florida wheeled into line
solid for Grant, but when tho result was an
nounced the vote stood Grant, 800; Blaine,

Blaine losing four votes and sherman
gaining five. On the twentieth ballot
Grant had 3OS gaining three; Blaine
lost three and Sherman three; Washburnc
gained three On the twcnty.frst ballot
Grant lost three and Sherman gained three
votes. The baloting proceeded without any
material change until the twenty eighth
ballot had been reached, when the friends of
Blaine and Sherman conceived the idea that
something might be gained by an ADJOURN
ment, and amotion to adjourn until tomorrow
ut 10 o'clock was made and carried, and the
convention adjourned. This is evidently the
result of fright. A. M. o.

Affairs In Arrhanistan.

LONDON, June 7,--Tho correspondent Of
the Times at Cabul deprecatcs the scramble Of
the British troops out of the country, leaving.
he says, not even the shadow of q settled
government behind us. The consequences,
both immediate and remote, of such an un-
dgnilicd course seemed to be plain, aud
could only be tolcrable if England was pre-
pared to intimate decidedly to Russia that
any future interference in Afghan matters
would mean a declaration of war. 1t is no
new idea that such plain intmation would
settle the Afghan difficulty better than any
thing else. Meanwhile, the political officer
here thinks that with ono Srdar or the other,
u fair aud satisfactory settlement can be made
on the line now marked out, and the army
can be on its return to India by the 18th of
August The state of Aighanistan generally
is unusually tranquil.
The prospect OF Herat passing to its ancient
Persian masters seems now gone. The an
nexation of Hernt to Candahar would form a
free and united Afghanistan.
