This disease prevails more or less in oar town and vicinity every summer, and usually proves fatal among the cattle which it attacks. Heretofore there has been found no sore remedy for it. We have heard of some losses by it recently. A citizen of the neigborhood, who has recently had several cows sick with the distemper, tried the following prescription, which produced a cure in each case : Alum! one ounce ; sulphur, one ounce saltpetre, one ounce ; linseed oil, one quart ; mix together for a dose, and if no action is produced in twenty four boors, repeat the dose. This is a remedy discovered by Mr. Stewart,, a celebrated cattle-raiser of Scotland Danville Register. i Our Victory in Boston. The Boston Advertiser speaking of our great victory in the old North State says : In North Carolina and Kentucky the interest was chiefly concentrated on the election of Congressmen. Ia the latter State the Republicans bad no Congress men to lose. In North Carolina they had three, of whom the first reports indicate that only one willjbe retained, and he a new man, of the colored race, not likely uns less his character is misrepresented, to prove a valuable member. r TUF FAVORITE HOME REMEDY.

Mills, in his work upon chivalry, men- ions that the beautiful little flower called "for get-me not" was known in England as early as the time of Edward III., and in a note, he gives the following pretty incident in explanation of the name : "Two lovers were loitering on the margin of a lake, on a fine Summer's evening, when the lady discovered some flowers of the Myostis growing- on the water, close to the bank of an island, at some distance from the shore. She expressed m . desire to possess them, when her knight, in a true spirit of chivalry, plunged into the water, and swimming to the spot, cropped the w ished -for plant ; bnt his strength was nnable to fulfill the object of his achievement, and feeling that he could not regain the shore, al though very near it, he threw the flowers npon the bank; and casting a last affec tionate look upon his lady-love, he said, Forget-me-not and was buried beneath the surging billows."

Every reader of the News must be well acquain ted with Lee Dunlap, a negro who was charged with the killing of a white man by the name, of Baker in Charlotte, and who has been saved from the gallows by the protecting hand of the Republican party. He was ordered to Wake county jail as a United States prisoner, his counsel having secured a transfer ot the case from the State to the Federal Court. While he has been imprisoned in Wake county jail he was said to have been an especial I contested by Judge Cloud. pet ot the Radical authotities, and was allowed privileges not given to other prisoners. On Friday night when it was ascertained that the Democrats bad carried Wake county and a Democratic Sheriff was elected, trie doors of he jail were op ened and this guilty criminal alloiced to depart his wag iu peace. If there is any law left in this county, the guilty Radical officials that permitted this act should be made to suffer on the gallows, if needs be the punishment of the criminal thus re leased.

Whidbee, Dem. CIVIL RIGHT. The Cincinnati Commercial has a long leading editorial, in which it essays to show that Mr. Justice Bradley has ren-. dercd a decision against the constitution ality of the Civil Rights bill (of course only substantially so,) and to prove that the Republican party is not pledged to the passage of that bill. It affirms that hardly a majority of the Republican law yers of the country hold that bill to be constitutional. The whole tendency of the article, says the Richmond Dispatch, is to relieve the Republican party from the odium of that bill of abominations, to put the party upon anew task or track. But what is to become of Morton, Uonk- link, Edmunds, Wilson, Colfax, and the rest 1 Let us possess our souls in pa tience. The end is not yet. The Vendome Column. The Paris correspondent of the London Daily Iclegraph writes as follows : The Colonne Vendome is every day risiug higher and higher, and will attain its former elevation about the beginning of next September. To speak by the card, it will be as high as formerly ; less the altitude of its statue. For it seems to be decided that the column is to have no capital ; the edifice is to be left uncrowned. In this State it will be a fit exemplar of France it will appropriately embody the provisional government the impersonal Septennate. But is there not something like moral cowardice in thus shirking the responsibility of replacing the statue of the man who is identified with the column The figure in imperial robes which the late Emperor had placed on the summit, was considerably injured at the fall of the column, but it conld surely be repaired as easily as the edifice of which it used to form the Ornament. There surely could be no impropriety in restoring the little corporal to his elevated sentry box na r-fc i a y-v wit 1 HE ttaleigb Urcscent says : v e went to hear the Rev. A. W.

This miu ute spot iu the Mediterradcan possesses an interest scarcely less powerful than that of Rome itself. Three thousand years ago the Phoenicians established themselves there ; the Greeks and Ro nuns in their day followed ; and, follow ing tbe current of time, the Vandals, Goths, Byzantines, and Arabs took pos session. Iu more modern times, the Si cilian Normans controlled the island of Normans and these gave way to the KnightH of St. John, whoac deeds oi val or are still the theme of romance and teens.

Unfortunate Love. Mr. Smith, of Waumatosa, Wis., was the principal of on academy, and a man of good education and supposed good sesce. Until forty years old he remained a bache lor. Then he tell in love with a school girl, who was romantic enough to encour age him, until her parents talk her out of the idea. At this Smith cut his throat. The gash was deep and dangerous, but not fatal. It left a long scare and seemed to cure Smith of his passion. A few years later he had a relapse. This time it was a young widow, who humored, teased, and finally jilted him. He promptly got out his razor again, and slashed at his jugular. The result was a seconed scar, crossing the old one like the ends of a sawbuck. Another year passed, and a month ago Smith fell in love for the third aud last time. It was a teacher in his academy, aud she really intended to mar ry him. The wedding-day was appointed, and nearly reached, when she suddenly changed her mind, because somebody told her of Smith's two previous love affairs. She could not marry a man who had loved two women before her, and so eloped with a fellow who was too young to have seriously loved anybody. Smith's heart was broken this time past mending. He still owired the razor of bloody mem ory. His grief was deeper than on the previous occasion, and so was the gash. Smith ie dead. those of the dynasty immediately preced ng that which built them. Hebrew, Sanskirt, and Chinese history seem half modern when oue stands at the foot of the piles which were almost as old as the Coliseum is now when Abraham was horn." Strange things come to t!ip surface in the earthquakes iu South America. Chuchyards yawn and graves give up their dead without waiting for the "witch ing hour." The scenes are horrible, and their pictorial illustrations are euough to make the blood run cold. The dead do not rest in their graves, aud a curious example of this was furnished by tne Ger man bark Mat bias Meyer, which arrived from Ancou, Peru, at San Francisco. She bad on board two hundred aud fifty tons of sand as ballast. When she com menced disehargiug ir, prepafory to tak ing a cargo of wheat for Liverpool, the vessel was found to be a perfect charnel house of human bones ; skulls one with long black hair, that of a woman leg bones, thigh bones, ribs, all the disjecta membra of the human body. The Cap- tain siaiea mat Ancou is situated on a sandy waste, and that vessels now secure ballast from the suburbs of the town wuicn was occnp:ea centuries ago as a graveyard. Bodies of men, women and children upheaved by earthquakes, are now bleeching in the sun, aud may be counted by the hundreds within ten miu utes' walk from the heart of the town Corn in the cob is dug out of the graves in large quantities, also, pieces of pottery, images, coins aud symbolic letters to the spirit woild, made oi kuottcd twiue and euro. tion for the place but the impudence to beg for it, and the shamelessness to trade for it ! I make no allusion to any one. I am speaking of a great evil. The begging, trading and scrambling for Jt ederal offices by Southern white men, which we all see aud witness at every recurring election, is disgracing us as a people. I have no respect tor a Southern man who seeks a Federal office. He is a criin inal who seeks or holds one to gratify a personal vanity. Public office is not pri vate property, nor for personal complt men t. You have no right as a true patriot to vote for a man because he is your rela tive or your friend. Public office is a public trust aud you prostitute this great trust of sufferage committed to you, wheu you vote for a man to execute such a trust tor any reasons others than qualification. There is no hope for tbe South in future, unless we can have ability iu Congress Sycophants, clevir fellows, personal friends, kin folks, hungry office-seekers, can never save you bu will oegrade you more and more. If our people can not get out of the habit ot votiug for a man tor high office simply because of personal feelings, or personal, importunities, it is utterly idle and vain to talk about provid ing a remedy for auy evil, present or to come. There ia a fearful responsibility on Georgia now. Our State is the freest of all the Southern Confederate Sisters. Of the seven States first organised as the Confederacy, Georgia is the only one now free enough to choose her own representa tives in Uongress Mississippi has one able tually admit, though they theoretically deny, tbe baseness of human nature. Strangers to disiuterestednes8 themselves, they do not expect to meet with it in others. They are content with a low degree of enjoyment, and are thus exempted from much poiguant suff ering. Indeed it is only when the casualties of life interfere with their individual ease, that we can perceive that they are uot alto gether insensible. A good deal of this phlegmatic disposition exists in many who are capable of higheik feeling. Such persons are so afraid of sen sibility that they repress in themselve everything that savors of it. And though we may occasionally detect it in tbe mount ing nush, or in the glistening tear, or in thfc half-suppressed sigh, it is in vain that we en- deavor to elicit any more explicit avowau They are always ashamed of even what thej do betray one would imagine that the im putation of seusibilty were almost a reflect tion on their character. They must not feel, or, at least, they must not allow that they feel ; for fetliug has led so many per sons wrong that decorum ran be preserved, they thiuk, only by indifference. And they end in becoming really as callous as they wish to appear, stihe emotion so very suc cessfully, the couflrmed habit at length druw ns it and makes it oease to give them any uneasiness. ouch is the case with many who pass throngh life with great decorum. Yet if its' excess is foolish, it is surely a mistake to attempt to suppress it altogether ; for sseh an attempt will either produce a dangerous revulsion, or, if successful, will spoil the character. One would rather, almost, that a man were ever so romautic, than that he should always thiuk, and feel, and speak, by rule. I should deem it far preferable that bis sensibility brought upon him oc casional distress, than that he always calcu lated the degree of his feeling. Life has its Bomance ; aud to this it owes most of its charma. It is uot that every man is a hero, and every individual history a novel. But there are incidents in real life of peculiar often so highly poetic we need uot be iudehfd to fictiou or the drama for the developemeut of .Romance. Chris tian will trace scenes and incidents dinctly to Providence their hearts swelling witn affectiou aud confidence. The more peculiar aud wonderful tho circuinstauces may be, the more clearly do they recoguize the di vine "interference. Those are indeed to be pitied who err in the opposite extreme whose hanpiuess or misery is entirely ideal. But we have wlth in us such a capacity for both joy aud sor row, independent of all outward circumstan ces such a power of extracting either from every occurrence, that it is surely more wise to discipline such a faculity than to disallow its influence. E. P. II. would bo, essentially, a war of races The whites of the South. Democrats and Republican alike, will uot tolerate so called "social equality," including mixed schools, forced upon them by law. They are most kindly disposed toward tbe ne groes, and if let alone will keep on ex cellent terms with them, and will accord to them all tbe social equality' that their race enjoy in any Northern State; but they spiritedly resent all attempts iu Con gress to cram it down their throats. They know that the object of the agita tion ot the Civil Rights bill is partly re venge, and chiefly a base desire to make a strong, compact, exclusive party of the blacks which could be relied on to main tain Radical supremacy at the South. Civil Rights bill, if it remains an open question, will cause a consolidation ot tbe white vote all over the Booth. Men woo in despair of reforming their States, have not voted for years, will turn out to oe clare against that detested measure.
