From the Telegraph & Messenger.] Griffin, Ga., March 14, 1870. Messrs. Editors .--That dire affection, cerebro-spinal meningitis, having be come prevalent in our country, any thing that can possibly throw light on its nature and treatment'; in eiir mind, should be made known to the profes sion. Having seen numerous accounts of its prevalence in the lower parts of this State, we have taken this method of giving our treatment in this disease, which has proven uhiformly successful. We know that communications through the newspapers of the land are not considered in strict accordance with true medical ethics, so we beg the in dulgence of the medical profession in this urgent necessity of times. The treatment adopted by us iii the epidemics of 1862 and 1865 was as follows : We in the first place give from 5 to 30 grains of calomel, according to the age of the patient, to be repeated, if neeersary, until the bowels act; apply a flannel well saturated with spir its turpentine along the whole course of the spine, run over this a smoothing iron moderately heated ; keep this up until the parts are blistered. . Give from 10 to 50 grains of bromide of potassium, according to the age of the patient, every three hours ; after get ting the patient fully under the influ ence of the bromide, commence and give large and heroic doses of sulphate of quinine. ' This treatment should be carried out by gome intelligent physician* a* they alone could adapt the treatment of dif ferent cas.es, and appreciate the actions of the different remedies. We regard the disease as a miasmatic affection, making a profound impression on the nervous centres. Hoping that this communication will prove of some bene fit, we remain, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. J. KNOTT, M. D. Griffin, Ga., March 18, 1870. Editor Constitution .--Since the with* in article was penned, myself and col* league, Dr. 0. L. Herbert, have treat* ed two decided cases of this disease, both cases are now considered out-of danger. The first case ; that of a mqrro man, qged 23 years, was one of the se verest cases I ever attended, and was pronounced by Dr. Herbert, to be the severest that he ever witnessed. To give the profession some idea of the treatment adopted in this case, we will simply state, that inside of twelve hours we administt red two hundred grains of calomel, ten drachms bromide potassium and six drachms of sulphate of quinine. The quinine and potassi um were administered partly by onenaa. We are confident, when this treatment is adopted in time, of saving btir pa tient. Very respectfully, yours,. J. J. KNOTT, M. D. An Untimely Fate.—A young man named Josep Ridiough, and a young lady named Lizzie LaShelle, were drowned on the night of the 28th ult., in Plum livor; which runs through the eastern part of this cdunty, under particularly painful circumstances, yin attachment had ex isted between the young man and the young lady for some time, and their mar riage was to have taken place y-csttoidaj, had Providence spared their lives; but, sad to relate; on the above night, the young couple, accompanied by Mr Uains oougti, and a younger brother of the lady, in returning from an entertainment at Sa vannah, attempted to ford the river at the usual crossing place, over the breast ot dam. The river, however, had risen, and when they were about halt way across the horses stopped and refused to proceed any further. Mr. Hainscoiigh alighted, and discovering that they were in danger, returned to the dragoti. removed some of his clothing, made his way to the heads of the hoises, telling young Ridiough to pull their heads up stream, but owing to the excitement occasioned by their perilous position, the wrong lino was pulled, and the horses, wagon and all four of the par ty were 3wept by tlio irresistablo force of the strong current over the dant, Young LaShelle swam to the shore one hundred yards below the dam; The horses were taken out next morning dnd still alive. Nothing has yet been heard of the young man and the lady. The young man was employed in the v¥oolon miles at Hanover. This is the second couple that have been drowned on the eve of their marriage, in Plum river.— [Galena (111) Gaiotto. An Editor Murdered. —While Colonel John WiMhr, editor and proprietor of the Journal of Commoroe, of Kansas City, Mo was conversing with Mr. Hudson, City Clerk, near the entrance of the Court house on Thursday morning, James A. Hutch insou, a butcher, approached wivl» a re volver and said to Wilder, ‘I roparo to defend yourself,’ and at the samo moment fired, tho ball passing through both lungs and lodged near tho shoulder joint. Wil der died in about twenty minutes. Hutch-- inson was immediately arrested. Wilder was a native of Boston and one'of the most aotive prominei.t men of the plaoo. Hutchinson had circulated slanderous reports about a young lady to whom Wil der was engaged U> marry, and had been horsewhipped therefor by the young lady's brother. He attributed it ail to Wilder and took this bloody revenge. jjajrldahomot AY\ was a barber. SEA SICKNESS. The. tallowing’ short article on the ter rible affliction known as sea sickness, from the pen of Dr. Barker, we find in' the New Korli Medical Journal, and give in full for the benefit of our readers. There are other preventives ns well as rcceipes for it, but the following 3cems so pimple, and has the warrant of reason übotrt it, that we are touch inclined to believe it efficacious : 1 Have every preparation made at least twenty-four hours before «La* ting, so that the "system may not he exhausted by over..work and want of sloop. This discretion is particularly necessary for lad ies. 2 Eat as hearty a meal as possible be fore going on board'. 3 Go on board sufficiently early to ar range such things as may be warned for the first day or two, so that they may be easy of access ; then undress find go to bed, before the vessel gets under way.— The neglect of this rule, ihy those who are liable to sea sickness, is sure to be regretted. 4 Eat regularly and heartily, but with out raising the head, for at least one or two days. In this way the hab tof di gestion is kept up, the strength is pro served, while the system becomes accus tomed to the constant change of equili brium. 5 Ou the first night out, take some lax ative pills, as for example, two or three of the compound rhubarb pills. Most persons have a tendency to be come constipated at sea, although diar rhoea occurs in a certain per ceatage. — Constipation not only results frvtn sea sickness, but in turn aggravates it. The reason has already been given why ca thartics should not be taken before start ing. The eff-rvesing laxatives, like the Seidlilzor the solution of citrate of mag nesia, taken in the morning on an empty stomach, are bad in seasickness. 6 After having become so far habitua ted to the sea as to be able to take your meals at the table or to go on deck, never thiukof rising in the morning uutil you have eaten something, as a plate of oat meal porridge, or a cup of coffee or tea, with sea biscuit or toast. 1 If subsequently, during the voyage, the sea should become unsually rough, go to bed before getting sick. It is foolish to dare anything when there is no gl’Jfy to be won, and something to be lost. Ajh- Ghtvb 'H Spain -—The Gauloir gives an account of a horrible and mysterious affair in Spain, which it first heard by telegraph, and which it says it would not believe had not the-details (yet incomplete) been confirmed by a letter from its own correspondent, M. Mirandi. The story is, that on February 17, a band of people (number not stated) broke in to a house at Alcira, a little village near Valencia, at three in the morning. They got in'by making a hole in the roof. The name of the owner of tho house was M. Baluda. He was in bed with bis wife. The invaders pulled them out of bed and put gags in their mouths. They then went to the rooms where six children were sleeping. ‘ These children they bound with cords, and then, in sight of their pa rents, they tore out their eyes and tongues Afterwards they cutoff the feet of M. Ba led* and his eldest son named Vincent, but purposely left the tendon pear the heel unsevered and then hung them up head downward. After these achievements they ransacked the larder, made a good breakfast, jeering at their victims all the time, and left the house at daybreak.— Two of the villains httve been arrested. One named Ferdinand Baluda, is a near relation of the family, He went by the alias of Cabot, The other man in custo dy is named Vincen Morera. alias Tortct The number of the gang is not stated.— They did not rob the house, and therefore it is supposed that they were impelled to execute a vendetta ala Corse , Nothing more is yet known of the astounding crime. Blodgett —The Chicago Republican is a little severe upon his political friend, Foster Blodgett, United States Senator elect from Georgia. It is true the distin guished soalawag is under an indictment for perjury, but we leave it to tho candid reader to say if that fact justifies tho Be ptiblicain in talking about him thus : ‘A document of the House of Repre sentatives. now before us, shows that Mr. Foster Blodgett, who goes to Washing™ ton as the Representative, par exce/IcHcr, of Qeot’gia Unionism to contest the se it of Joshua Hill in the United States Sen ate, served twelve months in (tic rebel army. Mr. Blodgett testified himself, under oath, that ho enlisted for twelve mouths' service in that army, bu s says that lie only served six months His ex* cuso is that his property was liable to bo confiscated and himself and family were exposed td dangers from the rebel popu* lace, which could only bo averted by Iw* enlisting in tho Confederate service.— Supposing all that Hr. Blodgett says to bo true, how does it make him superior to Joshua Hill, who was exposed to the same dangers us Mr. Blodgett, and yt t never found it tfocessary to taka up arms against tlie United States ? This last was an impertinent question aii§ we would advise M- Blodgett not to answer it. The Republican ought to knew that the rebel populace exterminated all the Blodgotts and their families who did not enlist for twelve months’ service l , but never troubled any pf the Hills,— Court or-Journal. ■ ■ ■w# ♦ Chicago has eight hundred streets, with an aggfogate length of five Hun dred and thirty miles. ,1 ' . *0- Bolivar was a druggist 1 Bates of Advertising One Square.)

There were two occurrences in the war of 1812, which are characteristic of the Koiituplty soldicvs of that time, which I do not recollect to have seen in print.— Tiie ono occurred whiU'the American pris oners were being marched through Cana da to Fort George. On one occasion the officer commanding the guard bought some whiskey and invited a Kentucky corporal to drink. The British Captain gave as .a toast George 111. The corporal drank without hesitation. The British Captain then called upon the corporal f.r a seutfc ruent. The corporal rather deqlyjod', .say, iiig‘ ‘You have been kind in inviting iw to drink, and I may give offense by giv ing a toast.’ The corporal then raid— ‘May the skins of kings be made drum beads, and the shanks of Tories drum* sticks, to beat the Americans to arms.’ The British Captain remark' and, ‘Sir, you must re mem ler where you are and act accordingly.’ A British Lieutenant,.who aomposed one of the said, ‘Stop Captain, you called scDtiment, and must not now t ike exception.’ Suffice tq sav, the British officers swallowed the toast. " < , The other happened at Camp Jackcor J below New Orleans, on the Bth ot Janua ry, 1815. Alter tho British made their last charge on our breastworks, they sent in a fi ig of truce, which was met by a flag from the American army, asking the pri vilege of removing their killed and wound ed, which were numerous.’ A line was designated so far from the breastworks aq to prevent the enemy from discovering the nature of our defenses, and American soldiers placed on one side of the line and British soldiers on the other. While the dead and wounded were;being taken tq this line and received by British soldiers a soldier belonging te the latter remark ed to a Kentucky soldier, ‘lt is useless for you to contiuue thi3 contest ; we are determined to take the city. W e have Lord Packenbam, Lord Gibbs and Lord Keene, and a powerful anny, and are de termined to take the city.’ To which the Keutucky soldier replied : ‘We have ou our side the Lord God Almighty, the Lord Jesus Christ and the hero, Ola Hickory, and I’ll be damned if we cau’t whip you,’ Kentuckians may be over powered, but still they will crow.— Z*x-> ingion Gazette. 1 44 l * * ’ * The Mormons Defiant. —Brigham Young, in a speech, a while since, said : lam the real Governor of this people, and, by the powers of the Most High, l will be Governor of this territory forevej ever , IfAbe Qe-ti’es don’t -Kko thu;', they can leave and go to hell. The Go vernor of the Territory is useless and can do nothing. If they undertake to try me in a Gentile court, I will see the govern ment in bell first. lam ready to fight the government and the mob. I have soldiers, rifles, pistols, an.unition and plenty of it' and cannon too, and I will use them. I am on it. , The second in authority in the Mbrrapn Church, Geo. A, Smith, a Vice President! has also said r A Northern army is a curse. They burn ed and destroyed everything in the South, and abused l>y force their women; but let them come here to abuse the fair wo men of Utah in like manner, ami all, both old and young, will have plenty of arms, when they approach,God will fight the bat tles and the Saints will be victorious. — He said the United States was not at pe ace ; and lie damned it arid hoped to see it sink into hell; that noth ing in the 6hapo of a free government could stand on North American soil that was opposed to Mormonism and polygamy. In 1850 the Mormons were 11,380 strong add in iB6O numbered 40,273. In 1850 they had 6,010 males, and in 1860 20,- 225. The ratio of increase since 1861 nt least is doubled. The population o! Utah at present is 100,000 souls, of whom 40.- 000 are men, and 20,000 capable of bear ing arms. Terrific Hcrricaxr at luskekgk, —A correspondent of the Montgomery Adver tiser thus rep ots a terrific hurricane at Tuskecge, Ala; Fences were blown down everywhere j scarcely a place left with p'-iTcct fencing, trees were uprooted and thrown across sidewalks, sfleets and houses, and sever* ul outhouses, were entirely destroyed, while many others were greatly injured, Several of our business hynsfes wore robr bed of their tin roofs and trees decorated with the same.
