The Hoff Cholera—What Is lit—Interest
ing Report from the Maryland State
Chemist. * *>:*< ggfu
The public Attention hat been for a long time
directed to the existence of a fearful mafada
amongst hogs under the above name. It has
prevailed for more than a year In the large dis
tilleries of the West and South, as in the small
pens of country farmers in the East and North;
it has committed serious ravages in the South
ern and Middle States, and early in the spring
I was called on by the owners of a large dis
tillery here to attend to his hogs, which were
rapidly dying. I went at once to see them, and
obtained for examination the blood of many of
the hogs in perfect health, for the purpose of
comparison with that of those in articulo mortis
(in the act of dying.)
These examinations, carefully made, revealed
the fact of a high inflammatory condition of the
system, as the subjoined annalysis shows:
Healthy hog blood—Clot firm, not large,
scarlet colored; solid, normal; fibrin as 2,33
per 1,000.
Diseased hog blood—Clot not firm, but large,
brown colored; solids less than in the healthy;
fibrin as 5,1)0 per 1,000.
The blood in each case was taken from the
arteries.
This condition of the blood evinced a high
degree of inflammatory action, but did not show
in what particular organ or organs, structure
or structures, the inflammation was located.—
To discover this I made numerous post mortem
examinations, and found 1st; the brain, healthy;
the heart, do; the stomach, do; bowels, inclu
ding the greater or lesser intestines, do; kidneys,
do.; liver, do.; melt or spleen, do.; lungs intense
ly diseased, in the upper part they were engor
ged with dark, grumous, bruised looking blood,
and in the lower lobes the inflammation bad
proceeded to suffocation, being filled with puru
lent bloody matter, and entirely incapable of
carrying on the process of breathing. The left
lung was generally more affected than the right,
and in every instance the inflammation had pro-
ceded to a greater extent in the lower than in
the uppenparts of the lung—in some cases the
peculiar structure of the long could not be seen,
so entirely had it become disorganized. In no
cases were well defined absceses found, nor was
the windpipe inflamed, but a short distance from
the seat of the diseased long.
Symptoms.—The first symptoms were a lazi
ness on the part of the snimal afflected, some
loss ofappelite,akind of husky grunt approach
ing to a cough, sometimes a slight purging of
of the bowels, and a yellowish colored urine;
then the animal would becom# more weak and
seem to be paralized in the small of the back,
totter about for a short time, and finally lay
down and die.
The treatment was divided into two parts—
prophylactic (preventive) and curative. With a
view to the first, pens were scattered over with
plaster of Paris and troughs were washed with
gas tar. The curative treatment was the ad
ministration of soda ash and borilla. There is
some trouble in the solution borilla, and on this
account soda asb should always be used with
it. About ten grains of soda-ash and the same
amount of borilla should be given to the hog
two or three times daily, mixed in their food.—
This should be given to the healthy as well
the sick hogs. To the well it does no harm; to
the sick it is a successful remedy.
As in the human species, so in hogs—inflam
mation of the lungs is a most insideous disease,
going on to the destruction of the patient be
fore the mere symptoms give cause of alarm,
and in many instances hogs which appeared
healthy were yet seriously affected with lung in
flammation.
The above remedies were used on about three
thousand hogs, and in the utmost intensity of
the disease. The number of their deaths dimin
ished seventy-five per cent, on the second day
after their administration^ and in a short time
the disease disappeared from the locality.
As soon as the hogs were manifested sick
they were put in pens by themselves, and sub
jected to the above treatment. Of these about
thirty per cent, recovered, whilst before all died.
Causes—It is a disease of general atmospher
ic origin, influenced by special, local, exciting
causes, such as the sweating sickness, black-
death, cholera, and other epidemics, which at
different times have devastated, more or less, all
parts of the earth, and of whose intrinsic nature
we kuow but very little. It is not confined to
distillers, but has also proved destructive in the
country. It is not produced by strychnine, or
any vegetable or mineral poison.
The disease attended with swollen jaws, the
.proper name of which is hog quinsy, prevailing
in some parts of the state, has no connection
with the above, and can be most successfully
treated by making incisions' over the swelling
and then pouring in a small quantity of aaltand
turpentine.
I should be obliged to persons throughout the
(Jutted States, who have observed this disease,
to examine the blood and the different organs,
and report to me the results; should any be in
capable of making an analysis of the blood, I
will with pleasure furnish them with the instruc
tions hew to perform it. James Higgins,
State Agricultural Chemist of Maryland.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22,1837. H
Cash Bourn!
Our patrons will please take notice, that we
have not departed from our rule of requiring the
money, on delivery, for all Jon Work.
Change of Time In the Meeting of the
Legislature.
Our friends w ill remember that the Legisla*
ture meets the first Wednesday in November,
and not the first Monday as formerly. Those
who purpose attending at the opening of the
session, will please hotice.
Cotton Received at Albany.
We notice an item in the Savannah Repub*
lican stating that op to the 16th, the receipts of
cotton here bad been 414 bales. This unex
plained might seem to falsify many predictions
made by the friends of the place aa to the large
trade expected to be done here, and we notice
it to give the proper explanation.
It is easily understood that this will be no
criterion to judge of our coming trade in the
staple, when we remind our readers that by far
the greater portion of the crop has not stopped
at Albany at all, but was carried up to Wooten’s
for shipment on the Rail Road. The cotton
that stopped at Albany, was brought here for
storage, by planters who were unwilling to
take present prices, or by cotton buyers who
held it on speculation. The bulk ofthe cotton—
that which was destined for sale—was not ta-
ken off of the wagon here at all. The actual
number of bales shipped from Wooten’s, we do
not know, but suppose it cannot be less than
from 2500 tq 3000 bales. The arrival of the
cars at Albany at an early day in November,
will put an end to tho troublesome task of haul
ing our freights to and from “Wooten’s” sta
tion, and will soon show by the increased
receipts of cotton, how important a position we
occupy in regard to this leading commodity of
the South.
Albany as a Market.
Our friends in the country may rest assured
that arrangements have been made by which
their cotton will bring fine prices at Albany, so
soon as the I$anks authorize the employment of
their means by their agencies. We will- have
established here five or six agencies, which’will
be amply able to accommodate any trade that
may offer itself. The present prospect is that
our buyers will soon commence. Our mer
chants have made all the preparation in their
power to gratify the taste and necessities of our
people. The substantiate and luxuries of life,
are displayed upon every side, and as far as we
know, every thing wears a prosperous face.—
It only remains for the excitement as to money
matters to quiet down a little, and all things
will take their wonted course. •
We will again advise persons at a distance
who own plantations near here, and all others
interested, to call and see the stocks our mer
chants have on hand, before they purchase else
where. Millinery, Dry Goods, Groceries, Sta
ple Goods, Car/iages, Wagons, and everything
indeed that they need, will be found in our
Stores in abundance, at much smaller prices
than ever offered them before. Among the
many houses in our place, those whose adver
tiserftents are found in this paper, offer onususl
inducements to their customers.
Tiie True Mahoxbdax Spirit.—A certain
good natured old Vermont farmer preserved his
constant good nature, let what would torn op.
One day, while the black tongue prevailed in
that State, one of his men came in, bringing the
news that one of his red oxen was dead.
“Is he?” said the old man; “well,he always
was a creechy cuss. Take off his hide and
carry it down to Fletchsr’a; it will bring the
cash.”
An hour or two afterwards, the man came
back with the news, that “line back” and his
mate were both dead.
“Are they ?” said the old man; “well, I took
them from B to save a bad debt, that I
never expected to get. It-is lucky that it aint
the brindles. Take the hides down to Fletch*
er'a; they will bring the cash."
After the lapse of an hour, the man came
back again, to inform him that the high brindle
was dead.
“la he f” said the old man; “well, he was a
very old ox. Take off his hide, and take it down
to Fletcher’s; it is worth more than any two of
the other.”
Hereupon, his wife, who was a very pious
soul, taking upon herself the office of Eiiphaz,
reprimanded her husband severely, and asked
him if he was not aware that his loss was a
judgment from heaven upon bit wickedness.
“Is it f” said the old fellow; “well, if they
take judgment in cattle, it is tho easiest way 1
-can paytbem."

The Panic.
There is no longer any reason for a financial
panic. Our Georgia and South Carolina Banks
are sound, sod having the confidence of the
community, we expect they wjll at once com
mence a regular course of business, which will
furnish ample means to forward the cotton and
other crops to market.
The Banks should adopt such measures as
will continue the confidence of the community
in their soundness and good management—
They should publish weekly statements of their
condition, and they should associate in some
such measure as the “Clearing House’* system
of New York, where short settlements are made
between them and the condition of each is
known to all the Banks.
We will take for debts doe the Patriot, or doe
to ns personally, the notes of any, suspended
Bank which we deemed good before the sus
pension.

Suspension of Banks.
A suspension of specie payments by the
Banks North and South, bss now become gen*
eral—if there are a few Banka (bat continue to
pay specie, they are exceptions to the general
rule.
There.is no doubt entertained of the solven
cy of the Georgia and South Carolina Banka
which have heretofore been considered good,
and we think there is oo lack of confidence on
the part of the people in their integrity and d<*'
termination to meet their engagements to the
publio.
The only way in which this suspension can be
compensated to the community, is that the
Banks shall now issue their bills on business
paper for the purchase and forwarding the crops
to market This would at ouce relieve the
present pressure for a circulating medium, and
would be a real relief to aU classes ofthe com
munity. The Banks will receive specie or its
equivalent In drafts upon the produce purchased,
add at or before the end of the business season
will be enabled to redeem sac^of their bills in
specie as shall not have been returned to them
in the msj oLooflsctiow, t-
. A Chapter for the Times..
Patriot has always claimed the right of
affectionately sympathizing with Its leaders In
their troubles—of using a friend’s ’prerogative,
and giving advice, unasked, uncalled for, when
ever wo think it needed. And never in our own
estimation was this word of comfort more sadly
appropo than now. Aa we look' around, both
at home and abroad, on this and tho other side
of the ocean, the aspect of affairs looks dark and
gloomy.
The monetary world seems convulsed to its
very foundations. Credit, that fruitful mother
of commerce, seems almost stifled, and univer
sal panic appears to have spread like a huge
cloud over the whole fabric of mercantile af
fairs—threatening a world-wide rain aod a hope
less bankruptcy.
It is idle when the storm is upon us, to shot
down the hatches of the ship, and in ill-timed
coolness, attempt to fathom its cause or to trace
its origin. We must be op and doing—first re
lieve the pressure into which affairs have fallen,
and then by philosophic investigation and re
search, prepare ourselves against a relapse into
such a state of things hereafter. It matters not
whether extravagance, speculations, as ill-bal
anced tariff, or over importation has caused the
storm, it is upon us, and the question is, how
shall we beat weather it I
In our opinion the Banks having suspended,
they should be allowed till the 1st of July next
to resume a specie basis under a general law re
quiring monthly reports of their condition, debts,
assets, &c.,~by this means time will bo given
to their direction to draw together their assets,
and to aid effectually tho mercantile communi
ty now suffering so severely under the pressure
from general suspensions.
The present cotton crop of the Southern
States, which cannot, even small as it is, bring
less than seventy-five millions of dollars, will
soon afford our banks a safe medium of foreign
exchange, and relieve them from the pressing
demand forspecie for shipment.
In our opinion there is no reason to suspect
the solvency of the principal Banks of our State.
That some of them may have been too much
expanded, and will probably have to curtail
their discounts, is more than likely, but gener
ally they are solvent and deserve the confidence
of our people.
Individuals have much to do in the crisis before
os. A firm endurance of evils which are unavoid
able, adds greatly to the probability of overcoming
them. Happiness consists much more than we
prill admit in a constancy of equanimity and good
nature, a strict observance of the law of kindness
and brotherly love in our every day life. And now
that times are hard, and luxuries must be eschew
ed, your good temper and urbanity at home and
abroad, must supply their place. And because
limes are hard and money scarce, do not forget to
think of and care for the sick and afflicted, in body
or estate. Remember the needv and unfortunate,
if any, that lieth at yonr door. Reflect that if you
suffer much io your abundance, how sadly must
their deprivation press upon them.
“Money,” says Lord Bacon, “like muck, is not
good unless it ts spread." Motion is the law of its
being, and when it ceases to move, money is no
longer beneficial. It is wonderful how active are
its motions upon occasions of pressure. Let A
pay B to day a thousand dollars he justly owes,
and before sunset, that sun) passing from debtor to
creditor, may wipe out ten thousand dollars of debts,
which, if sued, would crowd the dockets of our
courts, and pay heavy per centage for its collection.
This, then, is another duty, pay your honest debts
before you sleep, if possible, and if not, sleep but
short naps, till hard work enables you to do so
The simpliest, yet the hardest task to perform,
is to be thrifty an«l saving in all things, yet not
stinted oor illiberal to the laborer jvho so vichly
earns his scanty pay. To yon, a few shillings
more or less, makes little difference in the month's
expense, but to the weather-beaten mao, whose
family sits at home awaiting his arrival with the
dark, in hopes of having meat yet once again be
fore they sleep—those shillings counts largely to
decide the question of their sustenance. In times
like these never disappoint tho laborer that looks
to his daily wages for his bread. Could you see
the sad faces of mother and child grow longer, as
the wearied man stretches himself despondingly
upon the cottage floor, with “no bread to night, 1
we think the reader would never again be guilty
of that crime which heaven must bold so offensive,
to delay the laborer of his hire.
While avoidance of display, and retrenchment io
the use of luxuries are natural, yet the necessities
of the poor around ns, whose scanty pay hardly
earns a bare supply of the staff of life—warn us
not to withdraw all employment from them. They
most live, and it is beat for their wants to be sup
plied by honest labor^ than by charity. And in
our Government, where, unlike monarchical sys
tems, in which the King or Emperor must provide
work for the massfes—this attention to the wants
of the laborer falls upon the individual citizen, and
the duty must be discharged by him.
In times like these, when the laboring classes
suffer so much in their depression and sickness, and
want begins to threaten—-when the approach of
winter «dds its chill to their other ills—we call
open onr citizens, and female friends especially, to
see to it that no object of charity shall sufifer in
oor midst.
we are at peace, is quite a different affair. That
would involve the Government instead of the
CoDgressmerEie'etci.

suuied. At Fort Jefferson, a large number hare
been at work during the summer, and the work
will be so far advanced by spring as to admit
the mountain of the first tier of 110 guns. Tb,
first tier of guns at Fort Taylor are already
mounted, and the work is able to show rests,

lions will mount in their water batteries, whtti
finished over 650 guns, the majorities of which
will be 8 inch column braids. We believe tb,t
other extensive works are designed after ih,
completion of these, as cover faces or protect,

made nominally for their fortifications.
We learn that the Secretary of the Treasury
has selected a lot of ground upon the cornoruf

U. S. Court Roams and Post Office, for which
Congress at its last issoe appropriated 40,000.

It is also stated that the scouts in the Ever,
glades were unsuccessful. The low stage of

It is reported here, that an effort is being
made by the contractors for service on the New

schedule from its present condition to enable
them to give us three trips per month during
nine months and one trip every twenty days
during three months of the year.

The Right of Expatriation.
It is said that Gen. Casa holda the doctrine
that any citizen may leave tbit country and go
to any other, and there ia no law to prevent hia
going armed or unarmed—in other word*, he
may at any time expatriate bimaelf—diaaolve bis
connection with the government, anti of coarse
forfeit his claim to ita protection. . ( '
This ia the true doctrine, and any attempt on
tha part of the government to prevent like- exer-
eiae of this right, ia a usurpation and .violation
of the freedom of the citizen. • i : ,

product of eight million bushels oj grain. That
is tbe amount which Cincinnati supplies in Ibis

Abundanuk at the West.—The Chicago
Press says the western harvest is completed,
and more abundant than ever. Corn, Barley t
oats, buckwheat, hay, fall feed and potatoes are
all secure and good. We quote:
A large store of choice butter will be added
to the dairy products of the summer, which
were never equaled in^quantity nor exceeded in
quality. All kinds of roots and garden vegeta
bles turn out well. We never saw so great an
abundance of fine cabbages, and there are on
ions, beets, turnips, etc., to match. And to these
bounties are to be added all sorts of fruits in
profusion. ^ *

Letter from the Hon. Howell Cobb.
The following letter was addressed by Sec*
retary Cobh to the commitlee through whom an
invitation was extended him, to hi* prpsei.t at
the Grand Ratification Meeting of the Dcmof.
racy of New York city which was held at Tam
many Hall, on Monday evening ili6 12di inst:
Washington Crrv Wednesday,Oct. 7,1S57.
Gentlemen: It will not be in my power to
attend your ratification meeting on Monday
next—my official duties will not admit of my
absence at this time from Washington. *
Allow me however to avail myself of the op
portunity to express the gratification 1 fee! io
common with vour Democratic fellow citizens
of all portions ol the country, that you areena-
bled to announce “a complete consolidation of
all sections of the Democratic party.” Now that
the Democracy of New York stand united up
on the principles \vhi< h have been announced
by our party, it would be strange if divisions
•owing out of personal issues should he per
illed to disturb the harmony and weaken the
strength of the organization.
With such divisions the country at large
could have no sympathy. It was a subject of
regret wiihevery patriot, who felt that the unity
of the party in New York was so essential tf>
the success of those national Democratic prin
ciples, which alone, can give stability to our in
stitutions and prosperity to our country. The
union which you have now formed, being one
based upon a coneuerrence of opinion, should
be permanent. An attempt to disturb it by rt-
opening past dissensions or inciting new divis
ions, should be regarded by all true men. as the
evidence of hostility to Democratic principle
and should subject the author to a forfeiture of
the confidence of his political friends.
In every crisis through which the country has
been called to pass, we find the vindication cf
Democratic principles in the prosperity which
has invariably followed their legitimate enforce
ment. The alarming excitement growing out
of the slavery question is gradually passing
away, under the practical operation of those
sound constitutional principles for which the
Democratic party have so faithfully and success
fully labored; and, which, under the highest ex*
ecutive, judicial and legislative sanctions, h»«
become the recognized policy of the Govern*
ment. The. present financial embarrassment
which so seriously affects the business of the
country finds its principal source of relief in the
operation of the independent treasury system
inaugurated by the Democratic party—-a result
as confidently anticipated by its friends
was boldly denied by its opponents at the tim#
of its adoption. These instances are only illn**
trative of the history of a party identified writ*
the growth, progress and prosperity of our COHO'
{ry ' J
All other party organizations have passec
away with the temporary cause which brougn 1
them into existence—each failing in Its turn tj
bring to its supporters the promised benefit w
relief, and none of them leaving on the record*
of the country a single monument to testify tw
wisdom of its principles. The Democratic Pf -
ty alone survives all these changes and vicUj*
tudes, finding in the constitutional principle*
ita organization, the remedy, for each newdi®'
cnlty that arises, and by the wise and wbolt -
some application of ita doctrines, giving p«* c *'
quiet, and prosperity to t&e country. ^
In view of the present state of things in ’
country, it may not be amiss to remind 1
Democratic party that the triumph of their p*|®
ciples and consequent prosperity of the coa« 7
can only be attained by a close adherence
those principles. Temporary expedients 00
one hand and unwise ultraism on the
to be equally avoided. A firm and steady
in the true faith^ unseduced by panacea*>
unawed by panies, will, in the future, as t .
in the past, carry the Democratic P ar ^
country safely apd triumphantly through f
crisis. ) ■ t ■ ■ i •:* . .
