Washington, December 2.—Hon. A Oakley
left on thst morning, 9 a m , on special train
(Albany and Golf Railroad ) for this oity. Quite
a number of citizens accompanied the excursion.
Two miles from the city the section master was
at work changing the rails of tbe road and had
four rails up when the train oame thundering
along; bnt, as he states having his signal up at
a distanoe rendering an aocident out of ques
tion he set about replaoing the rails. Three of
the rails .were put on the ties preparatory to be
ing nailed down. But the engineer did not dis
cover the signal, and like lightning the locomo
tive rushed on to the danger. Throe rails were
lying upon the cress ties, perfectly loose, and
a fourth was entirely off At this juncture, at
the risk ol his life, a colored boy named Tom,
with herculean strength, replaced the fourth
rail upon the track, just as the engine was about
to be hurled from the track. Strange to say,
the whole train passed over safely, but knocked
a pole car into fragments. It was certainly a
most miraculous escape.

The Horse FpKleip e.
Editors Telegraph, tfnd Messenger—F.t the
following extract from the Briu*is-ileii*«:ai Jour
nal we are indebted to the Medical aud Snrgioal
Reporter, of the 231 nit., published in Phila
delphia
“The very severe epidemio among horses
whioh is reported from America and Canada is
of t kind well known hire. It is, in, fact, an
epidemio influenza. This epiz >otio is a catarrhal
effeotion resembling, in all its symptoms and
in its coarse, the epidemio ii-flaeiiZi of poor
humanity. It inns a dtfinite course; it is ao
companied by severe nasal cai&'rh, gent ral fever
and debility; in severe cases tbe long* and pla
its are apt to be affected. It requires the same
kind of nursing in animals as in men. Rest
within doors, nourishing diet, mild febrifuge
medioine, if any, and attention to the looul
troubles of the throat and air passages A very
small proportion of the oases are fatal, but the
epidemio is apt to prove vtry troublesome iu
European experience, by its widespread and de
bilitating ebaraoter.”
The editor of the Reporter says:
“In this oity the deathB have been many.
Dr. John Wycbe, who examined a number of
bodies, has stated that the disease was a specific
poisoning of the blood, and that the symptoms
of dropsy were caused by emphysema or a dis
tension of the body, or its membranes, from air
accumulated in natural oavities. There was no
sign of water accumulated in the cavities as in
the case of dropsy. The horses directed were
swollen about the legs, body and head, and all of
their internal organs, and even the muscles of the
legs were in a state of putrefaction.
“Dr. .Wyohe stated that he had nnder bis
oare about eight hundred horses, and. having
treated them aooording to their symptoms, with
out regard to the disease, he had lost only nine,
and that Mer. Malcolm, out of one hundred and
fifty horses, Jhad lost only one. In this view of
the new phase of the disease, the Sanitary Com
mittee of the Board of Health, of New York, in
so far as it opposed the popnlar idea, that the
swelling is due to dropsy, in its report says that
the new form of sickness resembles sourvey in
the human subject. The blood is so deterio
rated that its escape from the vessels into the
cellular tissues under the. skin, so as to cause
large ecohymoeis, giving rise to bloody dis
charges. The red globules are in a state of dis-
entegration, and the serum escaping from the
vessels collects unde, the skin in the. most de
pendent portions of the body, causing the ap
pearances known as dropsy. : s
“The. destruction of the integrity of : the
blood seems to be largely due to the effect of
the preoeding fever, especially in the case of
horses which have previously beep poorly fed,
overworked and kept in ill.-ventilated and filthy
stables. Another and powerful exciting came
ia excessive medication daring the fever, and
too early exposure to cold, wet aud fatigne, witn
a poor and nnnutritioua diet during convales

A general knowledge of the pathology and
treatment of this fe*rfal malady, which has
spread with unprecedented rapidity throughout

Chattanooga, Txnn., Nov. 29, 1872.
The Press Association of Tennessee has just
oonoluded a very Interesting meeting at the
S'an ton S^mse, in this city. The attendance
of lus quiUrdriviag, opinlon-ihewrfaotmetag
mortal* of this great State was not Urge; bnt
quality is often more important than quantity,
and with this adage we have great oomfort.
The moat brilliani feature pf the .oocasion
was the sparkling and racy poetical' address
read last evening before the Association, by
Mrs. L. Virgina Frenoh. It fully abstained that
lady’s reputation as the very fdrefiioet' of -Ten
nessee’s female litterateurs. Your readers will
remember her at once as the authbr'of a highly
successful and very' nniqtio novel, entitled: My
Roses, recently pnbliehsd 6? Philadelphia.^ Her
address was full of telling hits, and elicited fre
quent bursts of applause. I will send yon a
copy of it so soon as I can find it in prim. This
ia a newspaperiew day: The President’s thanks
giving proclamation stills the oliok of the com
positor’s “stiok” all this long dreary period of
the earth’s revolution on : its axis; ’■ '
Beside Mrs. Frenoh, While she read her ad
dress, stood her handsome -sister, Mrs. • Lide
Meriwether, of Memphis, a young author who
has recently captured pnblio attention by two
very remarkable productions, entitled respec
tively “Soundings," and ''Souls for Sale'' The
former of these is in prose, tbe latter in verse.
They are not mere toys to amuse the reader for
an hour, bat efforts to inaugnra’e a great moral
reform touching the moat vital interests of wo
man, and of sooiety at large. This 'young and
popnlar writer has been choBCn to read a poeti
cal address before the meeting of the PreBS As
sociation a' Lebanon, Tennessee, in May nest.
The meeting of the Press Association, last
evening, was edified by excellent addresses—
plain, business-like . utterances—from Messrs.
Jones and Bingham, of- the Knoxville : PreSs.
We, for one, dt alt some telling blowis agamst
the great “Dead-head*’ World—that formida
ble species of brigands who manage to -com
mand tbe use of “ printer’o ink ” without j
monetary compensation We thonghfc of an
oident of the Mexioan war. One of the Presi
dent’s pets, at that period, a civilian, and “only
this and nothing more,” had been oommiseioned
a Brigadier General in the United States Army.
Passing through New Orle ms to take command
of his forcts, he ealled at the office of the Pica
yune newspaper, and requested its editor, the
humorous Kendall, to announoe that- General
Bolster, U. S A , was in the city, en route to
the scene of war in Mexico : Kendall complied.
In tbe next morning’s Pioajune was a para
graph oommenoing thus:
“At ihe special request of Briged’er General
Bolster, U S. A., we announce that be is in the
oity, en route,” etc:
If “ dead-heads ” had their just treatment on
all occasions, how long wonid the newspaper
world be troubled with them ? -
Mr. Bingham’s addeess was equally appropri
ate, and oonolud<-d w&h a handsome poem of
felioitouB applicability*to the occasion.
Among other distinguished persons at the
press meeting of last evening were three newly
entered into the political world—all citizens of
Chattanooga* Hon. Mr. Crutchfield, member
elect to Congress from this district; Hon.. Mr.
James, Senator eleot, and Hom Mr. Snyder,
Representative eleot, in the State Legislature.
The Tennessee Legislature, like that of Geor
gia, will meet next January. Although the re
cent election exh bited; a very striking-Re-
inblioan gain, yet the Demooratio party will
have a working majority, in the next Legisla
ture of Tennessee. The Governor, too, Gen.
John O. Brown, once of the Confederate Army,
is a staunch Democrat. -The status of the Gov.
ernor, however, in Tennessee is less important
than in Georgia, the veto power, having never,
been conferred on the - Tennessee Executive.
In this te.-ipeot, we snbmit that the example of
this State is. worthy of imitation in Georgia.
In the beats of party strife,, that power is
oftener abused than wisely used, Exeentives
being as often controlled by violent partisan
ship as legislatures, and tbe true Democratio
doctrine sustaining the right of the majority’to
rule. ■> A
■To day has been. bitterly oold here. At a
late bonr last night, :an avalanohe of zeroio
wind rubbed -down npon os from the north
pole. This morning ice glittered’ everywhere,
and the meronry stood half way between- the
freezing point of farenheit aud zero. Lookout
Mountain gleamed, in the morning , sun like a
sparkling ioe-oryataL Nine years ago it was
swept by the fire of oontending armies immor
tal conflict. The frowning palisade of cliffs
whioh crown its summit baa not lost Us stern
ness of expression, but tbe warriors have passed
away from the scene. To ihei southeast, Mis
sionary Ridge sweeps piotureequely marking
the soene of the last contest between Bragg and
Saerman in ihe autumn of 1863.
To day tbe press has been aotive at sight-see
ing, notwithstanding the Serge opposition of old
Boreas. A large iron rolling mill was visited, by
the entire association, and the two distinguished
ladies we have mentioned, together with' their
husbands, Col. French and Major Meniwether;
and subsequently, a visit was paid to.the.Na-t
tional Cemetery At both points the distin
guished writers were favored with the most po
lite attentions and explanations touching the
various objects of interest. The “conclusion of
the. whole matter” (to .borrow,gn expression
from Solomon, a favorite author of ours) was a
sumptuous dinner at the 8tantoa House. That
dinner was ail that mortal man should heed on
such occasion; and we commend to the travel
ing pnblio.Jthe aforesaid Stanton House, as. the
most elegant hotel it has been onr fortune to
reet with in the South. Nut beii>&’ a . “dead
head” at that hotel, but paying onr bill in green
backs just the same as if we were not an episto
lafy mortal, troth impels us to m ake this remark.
Chattanooga, at last, is growiug rapidly. It
muht become a Urge oity. Its proximity to
both coal and iron must sooner or later Pitts-
burghise it. Already five great railways radiate
from it; hud a sixth, and the greatest of all, to
Cincinnati, will be built ere long.. The Ten
nessee river, easily navigable for several hun
dreds of miles above the city, is equivalent,
commercially, to half adozen other railways.
Chattanooga’s present thrift and enterprise and
its fntnre greatness are alike unmiataxable.
/. As we prepare to leave' the city, the sun in
cunolonded splendor, ia sinking behind the great
rock-ribbed Lookout Mountain. Far away to
the North ia stretched the long range of Cum
berland Mountains, rich in picturesque beauty,
and in the more nufol mineral treasures that
human wants demand. At two visible points
where fire has been oommnnioated to the foreet
leaves, vast .voloano-like volumes of smoke are
ascending, and the fires begin to gleam brightly
as daylight declines. One almbft expects to see
the molten lava bnr.t from the mountain sum
mits with VesuvUn thunder. But instead of
the latter, we hear the significant expression
“ All aboard,” and therefore bid yon and Chat
tanooga a hasty adieu. W. G. M.

Gambling In. Waahlngtoo Thirty Tears
Ago—Tbe Weakness and Foibles of Great
Men. i boa a a j .. ’
The “Old Stager” gives us, in Harper’s fpr
Deoember, 'some very agreeable gossip about
tbe great men who figured in, Washington when
he was a boy: , .
Wa-hiugton for many years had bren a hot
bed for gamblers of high and low degree.' There
were a.dozen fare banks on the Avenne within
a stone’s throw of Gadaby’s, on the corner of
Sixth street Many of these establi3hm a pt3 had
club-rooms attached,, where members of Oon-
just gress and others amused themselves with brag,
a in- * vingt-et-un and whist. Draw poker came into
* vogue at a later day. Gambling, and for large
sums, was common, particularly among South-;
era and Western members. Scores of them
from Ohio x India, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
the Gulf 8tates squandered their modest per
diirm—then eight dollars only—at the gaming
table, and Borne impaired their priya'e fortunes
by the same indulgence. S S Prentiss was said
to bave lost thirty thousand dollars the first
winter he was in Congress. i
The most notorious and dashing gambler of
the d <y was El ward Pendleton. He came from
Virginia, where he was well conneo’ed, his fam
ily being : of tbe best blood in tbe State, and he
married a most respectable and accomplished
lady, whose father held a responsible office un
der the Government. Pendleton gavesnmptuons
entertainments at his club-house, which were
well attended by some of the most eminent pub
lio men in tbe district Mr. Mangum, then
President of the Senate, John J. Crittenden.
John M. Botts, John B. Thompson, of Ken
tucky, and Lynn Boyd, afterward Speaker of the
House, and othersof le-eer note, were freqnent.
ly his guests. Congress bad enacted stringent
penal laws to prevent gambling, but they were
a dead letter, unless some poor devil mads a
complaint of foul play, or some fleeced blackleg,
sought vengeance through the aid of the grand
jury, and then the matter was usually com
pounded by the payment of, the money.
Whist was a favorite game with the foreign
ministers and the elder. statesmen. Mr. Clay,
General Scott, Mr. Bodisco, and Mr. Fox-
nephew of Charles James Fox—who represen
ted William the" Fourth and Q teen Victoria,
often played together, a hundred "dollars being
the usual stake. , They generally played well,
as Hoyle taught the game; but,many of the
members of the fashionable club3 of New.York
piny with more skill than was dreamed of forty
years ago. Governor Maroy was a great lover
of whist, but he would never bet money on the
game. Thera were always inveterate whisters
in the Semite. A story was current at onetime
of a protraoted sitting' at the card-table, at
whioh Governor Sickles, of North * Carolina,
a fid Monntjoy Bailey, Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Senate, .were two of the players. ,It
ran in this wise: Tbe Senate adjourned
from Thursday over to Monday. The party
sat down to . cards after dinner, Thursday
evening. They played; ail night and all the
next day, only stopping, occasionally for re
freshments. The'game :wps continued Friday
night , and Saturday,. through Saturday night
and all day.Sunday and. Sunday night, tbe
players resting for a snatch of sleep as nature
became exhausted. Monday morning the game
was in-full blast, but at 10 o’olook Baits; moved

We saw on the streets and at tbeiF place of
business, “OaptS Wm- Tayter,” J. M. JDbbh,
Major Ellis, and others well known aboutIgafpo, y
their old stamping ground. This being Court
week, and an Important crim'nal trial to take

surrounding country pat in an appearance be
fore Judge James M. Clark, who presided at
the trial of Graham for the murder of Lee, a
year or -two sinoe, at Dykesboro, relieving, in
this case, Judge Anthony Pate, who had been of
oonnsel for the aoensed.
If, perohanoe, in some far off country this

that Judge J. M. Clark, who presided with dig
nity aud ability on this oooaoion, is our old

Among the lawyers present from other ooun-
ties I saw Col. Sam Hall, General Eli Warren,
Ool. Grice and others. There was quite an ar
ray of learned counsel retained in behalf of the
prisoner at the ba-, touching the merits of
whose oase it does not become me to express
an opinion, having heard only a part of the

Hawkiimville is said to be now a much
healthier location than it formerls was—this is
perhaps attributable in part to the absenoe'of
home of those stagnant poo's which so long were
permitted to disfigure the town, and emit nox
ious exhalations to destroy the health of i^s 'oiti-
zens.
We omitted to mention that the Polaski Cot
ton Factory is again under way, and the Messrs
K ng, its present proprietors, who were cradled
almost amid shooting shuttles and-, humming
spindles, are hopeful of ranking it a success.
While listening to the pnffi ig of its engine I
saw machinery for wool-carding removed from
Kendrick’s warehouse, which was to be used nt
‘Fountain’s Mill,” six miles sonthwest pf the
town.
Taking no acoohnt of the many small flocki
of 50 or a 100 head, there is one man in thid

iht refore, is not likely to rust for lack of usi.

some inquiry as to the health and prodnotiv •
capacity of this section. I saw an old gentlemen
seventy-two years old who with sundry vision.;
of pale faces; shaking agues, etc.; had removed

persisted, and rose from the table. The Gov

Mr. Webster played ’whist, but indifferently
only. The Virginians were addicted ,to that
stupid game known, as shoemaker loo. Preei-
dent Tyler was fond of loo, and on a rainy day,
when there wbb no great pressure of pnblio busi
ness, he has been'known to make np a game at
the White House, and play all day, having din
ner in his ohamber. H a companions usually
were Wm. Selden, Treasurer of the United
States; Carey Selden, his brother, store keeper
at the navy yard, and sometimes Gov. Gilmer,
of Virginia, with now and then another favorite.
The amount played for was always small, bnt
Mr. Tyler was as muoh delighted at taking a
pool as if he had won hundreds.
Pnblio opinion was not so averse to ' gaming
in Washington as in most of the Northern cities.
At a large parly, given by the wife of a Cabinet
Minister, Mrs. Olay; chapperoning.a young lady
from the North, passed through a room where
gentlement were playing cards, Mr. Clay among
the number.
“ Is this a common practice ? ” inquired the
yonng lady. . .
“Yes,” said Mrs. Olay,” they always play
whenever they get together.”
“ Don’t it distress you to have Mr. Olay, gam
ble?” : 1
“No, my dear,” said the good old lady, com
posedly, “ he most always wins.”;^*—‘
In the winter of 1841, General Scott, Mr,
Olay, Mr. Fox, and Mr. Bodisco played whist
once a week, for some time, tbe stake, as naual,
being a hundred dollars.- They played a match
game, Scott and Bodisco against Olay and Fox
They were pretty well matobed, and for a long
time the game was pretty even. At length for
tune favored Meshrs Clay and Fox, and they
were ten or twelve gsm«s ahead. 1
“Gentlemen,” said the Russian Minister,
rising from the table, “the‘game has closed for
the season. The appropriation ia exhaust.”
Aud sure enough not another game would he
play, much to the disgust of General Scott, who
of course, was » considerable loser.
