The Cattle Disease Pletiwpneii'
monia*
One of tlie most interesting documents ]
which have boon published lurogard to the cat- ,
tledJiicaHOi.ii tho/report of Mr. BcTiCKfiELD,
from'i&eObmmlttoe on Agriculture of theNa
tionaljHouso of Representatives,- to that bod;:.
Thlssubject possesses a fearful interest to the
Amertcan'poojjte, in consequence bl the groat
\aluo ot their, cattle, and the serious losses to
which they y?JU ho subjected if the mages of
the disease should not bo promptly checked.
•If h'ePlast censns returns showed that there were
in 1860, ,18,878,000 neat oattle In the United
States,, and the number, has now probably In
creased to 22,006,000. , The value of their an
nual’product of Witter, cheese, and milk not
used for batter or cheese, was estimated, in
1860; at $80,000,000. The value of the cattle
annually slaughtered wap supposed to he about
equal to 7 that amount, and the: annual value of
the labor oi nearly a million yoke of working
oxen,(at twenty dollars per.yoke) was about
$20,000,000. r Thus; the annual prodnet from
cattle, in,iB6o, amounted to $180,000,000; Ihb
average inercase for ten years is estimated at
twenty per, centum, making the present an
niialprodnct about $216,000,000. And the
cattle ,themselves are .probably,worth trom
$400,000,000 to $600,000,000.
- Several of the Governments of Europe have,
at different times,:, been compelled, by a due!
regardlor the Welfare of their countries, to
adopt measures for the suppression of this
disease, and if the fears expressed- that it has
already extended from Massachusetts to other
Stateß.are wall founded, It will probably cause
immense loss, and no agricultural commu
nity in our country can, withont great care,
be effectually protected against its ravages.
A disease very' similar, if not identical with
tho Massachusetts malady, lias prevailed at
different times among the ancient Romans, in
England, Holland, Sweden, Prussia, and in al
most every part ofEtirope. ,
It generally ceases, in a great degree,
toward tho- approach of summer, so that an
absence of marked evidences of its prevalence
at thiß season is by no means a proof of its
era’dicatien; At hue time when it prevailed
in many parts of Europe for twelve years, it
always abated In summer, and during one dr
two summers, apparently disappeared altogeth
er, bnt at the approach of winter it broke out
afresh, and dnring the months of February
and March it was particularly destructive.
' In 1748 or *44 it was Introduced into Eng
land from Holland by tho importation of two
calves, and it destroyed hundreds of thou
iihds of cattle, extending its ravages down to
1761-55. In one'year 80,000 ,cattio were killed
because they were more or less infected, and
nearly double that number died of the disease.
Holland.appearstobe its headquarters. In
1867, oyer 14,000 head of distempered cattle
were'slaughtered in only forty-three villages
of that country, and it was Irom there that it
was inlrodaceddnto the United States. Mr.
Butterfield says : .*•, ,
“ On the 231 of May, 1859, the distemper was
brought into. Massachusetts by four cows, imported
direct from Holland by Wicthrop W. Chenery, of
Belmont, about six miles from Boston. These
'cow a ware black, thick-skinned, large and said to
be great milkers. - On landing they appeared hun
gry* thirsty, and neglected, and one of them, it is
said, had not teen no her legs for twenty days.
Two of these cows were so feeble that they bad -to
be carted to Belmont. A few days after their ar
rival, on the diet of May, one of the cows died.
On tho 2d of dtmo a second died, and on tbe 30th
of June • third. The fourth Is now alive and
doing well. In all, Mr. Cbenery has within a year
lost twenty-seven head of cattle, of other importa
tions, then orihis premises. The disease was not
supposed contagious, and was attributed to local
causes. • 1 - ■
‘•' In Jane, JBS9, three grade Batch calves were
purchased from Mr. Cbenery by Mr. Stoddard, of
North Brookfield. As they were being taken there
oneef tbe calves appeared to falter, and gave evi
dence of physical disability. The distemper with
wbiob the animal was affected was at once com
municated to the oatile in the vicinity, and it has
sinoe raged there with fatal violence. A district
about twelve miles /quara, from which, at this time
last summer, large quantities of batter and obecee
were made for the Boston market, is almost desti
tuto of cattle.’ 1
In April last the Legislature of Massachu
setts appointed three commissioners to in*
quire into the progress of the disease and to
adopt measares to arrest_ it. Under their di
rections 342 cattle were slaughtered and many
were isolated. The original appropriation for
tfac compensation oi cattle-owners was soon
exhausted, but an extra session of the Legis
lature was called, and additional measures were
authorized to combat- the disease,
j One of the most alarming facts stated in the
report is,'that the distemper has already been
carried from Massachusetts into Maine,-New
Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, and
even Michigan. The cause' of this has bees,
thatwhen the price ot stock decreased in
consequence of its prevalence, drovers pur
chased cattle in the infected regions at these
reduced rates, and drove them to distant regions
as a matter of speculation. For the few dollars
which they have made in this way, they have
probably caused an aggregate loss to tho nation
of an immense sum. Their conduct cannot
be too strongly denounced. .
Wo have heretotoro published a. diagnosis
of-the disease, and it is unnecessary to repeat
it here. In regard to tho proposed remedies
the report say s:
“ Although hundreds of cases have occurred from
•xpocare, : • and not one without exposure, many
agriculturists deny tbe contagious or infectious,
natnreof pleuro pneumonia. in ibis opinion they
an banked by the editor of ‘The Journal of,tbe
Royal Agricultural Boolety of England,* and by
fi£r. Horsfall, one of the most thorough of English
dairyman and breeders. Piblestor Simonds, how
ever, who was deputed by the -three British agri
cultural societies to visit the whole of .western Eu
rope and report upon the oattle diseases which
raged In the several countries, unqualifiedly de
clares this lung-disease to be highly contagious,
and. with the exception of a perfect sequestration
of tho farms infeoted, no remedy to be Known as
universally efficacious. Collet, a modem French
author; speaks with even more dread of the pest,
since, he says, this malady Is che greatest scourge
which could befall the farmqr, being hereditary as
well as oontaglooa, and stiver disappearing from a
country where it has become well- established. Iu
fact, he considers typhus or amall*pox less to bo
dreaded than pleuro-pneumonfa.
“ Dr. LennJg. ooe of the Massachusetts commis
sioners, states that he believes the disease utterly
incurable. Cases sot treated are not always fatal.
In favorable circumstances, 15 to 20 per centum
would prove fatal; in other circumstances, from 90
to 95 per centum. fie thinks the most economical
2nd the most effectual way to eradicate the disease
i to kilt.every animal affected by it.
“One ox, killed by order of the commission,
had Imparted the disease to twenty-three yoke of
cattle; he looked well when he was killed, appa
rently in good Condition for beef, but had d-slightly
*plnetaed r appearance; he 'Was killed because ft
was known he had been exposed, and believed that
he had imported tbe disease fo others'; the general
external appearance of the langs was that of fair
health. In the right ldng whs fouhd a.bunch
about the else of a fowl's gizzard, and of tho same
color; it resembled’ decayed cheese. 1 and was a
little harder; this substance was entirely distinct
from the other parte of the lungs, the disease
hating (topped there; nature appeared to have
enoloeedtbe disease there. Analogous eases bad
been found In the human system. He. had no
doubt the ox would baveJUyed on, but whether it
would have been healthy was another question.
Whether tbe animal wpuid communicate the dis
ease to others was not known; and no observations
in Europe'threw any light upon that question.
They found that * yoke of oxen hed glven the dis
ease to one herd, and'afterward, when the dueaso
was in a chronic form, were taken to another herd,
and did sot communicate the disease. It is Itur
possible to tell how soon the disease appears after
ft is taken.
“In South Africa,in Buss!*, and in Holland,
inoculation is used to stay the ravages of the cattle
pests, but it is not thought by the veterinary sur
geons that it would answer in the peculiar phase of
the distemper nowin this country. Acommuoi*
cation having been not long since received from
the Royal Agricultural Society of England from
the Central Boctety of Agriculture In Belgium; re
questing information on pleuro* pneumonia and the
means adopted to combat the disease, having par
ticular regard to the effects of inoculation, a reply
was ordered to bo made that inoculation was not
found In.' Great Britain to rest on any scientific
basts, and as such it has not received tbe sanction
or supportof the Royal Society.**

THIS PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1860.
The letter of Hon. Biouaed Vaux, in which
ho announced his dotermiiiattOß not to .acqui
esce iu tho arrangement proposed- by the
State Executive OoinirdUcc, in regard to a
fusion electoral ticket, has elicited a reply
from its chairman, Hon. William H. Welsh;
in which he .defends at length that notable
scheme. He'claims fbr the committee the
right to adopt the conrse it has taken—denies
the fact that Mr, Douglas Is the only regu
lar nominee ol the National Democracy,
or rather states that many Pennsylvania De
mocrats are quite as much inclined to re
spect the nomination of BrxoxinSii>oe as that
of Douglas—and contends that the masses,
regarding this schism with regret, are anxious
that some basis of union should be adopted,
by which the whole Democratic vote of the
State, under, a joint-stock arrangement, can
‘ be consolidated on one ticket, for the benefit
of the Secession candidate in certain, contin
gencies, the regular candidate in others, and
for whoever the electors prefer in case nei
ther BaEOKrftitnKiE nor Douolas can be
elected. .• :
The arguments against this policy have been
so' frequently stated in our columns that it is
scarcely necessary to repeat them here: There
is a way for securing the same unity of action,
which Ijtr, Welsh professes to have so much
at heart, among the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania in’ 1860, that was secured in all former
Presidential campaigns, since the days of
Jaokbox—and one way, alone. It 1b by. put
ting in the field an. electoral ticket composed
wholly of men pledged to cast their votes, if
elected, for Douolas and John son, the regularly
nominated candidates of the National Demo
cracy, and for nobody else. The Democrats of
Pennsylvania will see that this Is done this year,,
as it was done in all former Presidential cam
paigns. ~ The Secessionists may take such
action as. they deem proper j and if, like some'
of their Southern brethren, they prefer Lib.
ooln to Douar.As, and choose to labor for tho.
defeat of the regular Democratic candidate,
by casting flielr ballots for then who have
rebelled.. against the highest Democratic
authority of the country—lts National Cor.
ventlon —the responsibility must rest upon
their own heads.
There is cot a single sincere friend of Judge
Douolas in Pennsylvania who will support the
scheme to which Mr, Welsh is go warmly at
tached, and the idea of treating ft seriously as
• compromise moasure is one oi the most ri,
diculouß and impudent that over entered into,
the brain of time-serving political tricksters,
ft is a device to lure tbe Dem ocrncy of Penn
sylvania into th.o support of t he champions o
tho Secessionists of our country, and nothing
else. Bnt i t will fail, utterly and completely,
and tbe sooner all parties are awakened to a
sense of this fact the better will it be tor the
genuine Democracy of tho nation, f.et nof
tho Secessionists of the South lay the flatter
ing unction to their souls that the artfally-coc
coded scheme of their allies In our State
to sustain them in their rebellion, against
the action of tho National Convontion and
in their Disunion programme, will bo sna.
cessful. The emphatic aversion to any such,
compromise as is proposed, whloh has
been’ expressed by Judge Douolas, will pre
vent it. The action o£" the Notional Ex..
EOutive Committee, which has a thousand told
more claim to respept than Mr. WEpsu and'
his Secession associates, since they h»ye
manifested their hostility to the regular or
ganisation of the party, will prevent It. The
movement which will be Inaugurated at Har
risburg, on the 36th inst., under tho posglcet
of the Pennsylvania member of the National
Executive Committee, the (aitbfnl members of
the State Committee, and tbe friebds of Judge
Pouclas in the State generally, will prevent
It. ' Tho qnswervlng' attachment of tho De
mocracy of Pennaylyapia to tho Union, and
fo the regular National Democratic party,
will prevent it.
. Tho last clause of the lost resolution adopt
ed by the Heading Convention, reads thns:
«We, Individually and collectively, pledge
the bqst efforts of every delegate of this Con
vention in behalf flf the nomination* we-havo
made, and also y ihi nominee of the-l>c»io
erotic National'Convention, soon to be held at
Charleiton.” No one can doubt that when
that body appointed an electoral ticket, and se
lected a Chairman of the State Committee, its
Intention/. *ru that the 'persons so ohosen
should act in good thithin sqpportbf thenp
mlneeß of the National Convention. ' And'
no one who' does not; resort to con
temptible quibbling can pretend for
ment that Douolas and Johxsoh are not the
regular nominees, and the only rogntor national
nominees, of the Democratic party. ls
one honorable course open for those who re
ceived authority for the discharge of a specific
duty from a Convention animated by the spirit
displayed at Beading—it is to earnestly seek
to promote, the object for which thoy were
appointed, or else to resign. But If they fi)i|
to do. either, the Democracy of the State will
stili find means to extricate themselves from
any dilemma in which unfhithihl servants and
traitors to the National Democracy may seek
to place them. Lilliputian pigmies cannot
bind to the earth the friend* P l the Little
Giant and the loyal Democracy (n Pennsyl
vania.
! Much mlscbiefbas already been dose by the
distracting influence of the preposition of the
Secessionists, bnt even this may be repaired.
If. Mr. Welsh, retracing bis erring loot*
steps, returns to a proper sense of bis
duty—which clearly is jo promote the
election of tbe regular.- nominees, pf }jin
party—he may yet do the Democracy of Penn
sylvania nearly as much good in the present
cgnvass as his disorganizing policy has, up to
this time, has done harm.
He Is fondof drawing political parallels from
the lives of women of the Bible, as two
cnees to them In one of bis paragraphs show.
If he repents of his adulterous proposition,
abd resolves to abandon it, we_ shall heartily
ejoice, and then we hope that, like another
woman of,the Bible, he will “go and sin no
more.”

cockle shell in which to venture across the Atlantic.
The pirate Hicks did ace or two things just : f
he was about to go henco that were odd, under l{ie
olroomstanoer.' For instance, the day before the
hanging, the deputy who was to put the rope about
his nook asked Hicks If ho would have any objec
tions to bis trying it on, for the purpose of seeing
h>w best to do it at the final scene. Bloks assent! ds
and the deputyput it over bis hsad ; baton eloslrg
the rope around the neck, the pirate ehouted cut:
"Look here; Beems to tne yoi’re ,drawing thft
blqody tant!" After getting the party aboard the
steamer, Marshal Byndcrs, instead of proceeding
directly to Bedloe’e Island, gava bis friends a little
tarn up the river; had a look at the Groat East
srn; partook of a few refreshments, (bntndy-and
water and things,) and (hen went on with the
hanging; making it, altogether, quite an excur

550,000 per annnm. There are sixty steam ferry
boats running from New York to points sear by,
employing 2 000 men, whose aggregate pAy
amounts to nearly $!00>,000 per month. They con
sume 240 tons of coal per day, or 050,(00 tons per

TO TJIB EDITOR CF THE HERALD.
New Yore, July 10,1830.
As Mr. John G. Heenan bss now amved home,
and as be has,-when in Furooo. expressed so fer?
vent a wish to fieht me ftgatn, f will not balk bitn tn
h)s wish, now I have him on the spot I will fight
him in four months from sigutag articles, for from
ten dollars to ten thousand a able; and as U ap
pears paradoxical to me and bt fi lends to see a
man dubbed “ Champion of the World” who has
ptver won a fight In the ring, I wilt now give him
jhe chance he wants, although T only stipulated to
figbj Wm again as a winner. I will moot bfro when
and where he likes, up what forfeit he likes,
fight 'him when and where he likes—l to ohoo*
tbe stakeholder, to he agreotble to both. I trust
Outridtrrwni not intermre to prevent this match,
at Vedst until tbp money is up, whloh lam pre
pared to stake at drawing up of articles.”

' Tbe letter was handed in at onr officein tbe usual
manner, and as it was signed by Mr Morrissey’s
nsme, and its terms appeared to be in accordance
with bis previous declarations, we supposed it
genuine, and therefpregave it to the public.
Last evening Mr. Heenan oriled at onr office,
and after exorertfog fits surprise at the haste with
which Mr. Morrissey was pressing the affair to an
issue, left with us the following acceptance of the
supposed challenge:
TO TOE EDITOR OP TBE HERALD,
New York July 17,1830.
I have notioed with much satisfaction that John
Morrissey declares he will keep the promise made
jo me before X went to Europe, and give me a
Second meeting in the Tins’. This, in itself, pays
me for the rime I spent In Eogland, and I at onae
tooept of the terms he offers, and choose for the
stakes the Irgheat sum he names. In proof thereof,
I will pl*oe »n any responsible man’s hands tbe
sum ofs2 600 as a preliminary deposit, for a match
of $10,003 a side, pending tbe drawing of the arti
cles and the selection of a stakeholder. I should
have been pleased. After my long stay abroad, to
have had a few weeks of leisure to enjoy among
my friends; but as there is no way in whioh I can
be gratified so much as by being guaranteed an
early matoh with Morriseey, I hope they will
exenae me for this new occupation of my time. If
Mr. Morriseey.wUl sand me word, by note, when
fod where be desires to pee me for the arrange*
ment of preliminaries, T VHI rpeot blip without de
lay ; and tbp gnly further wish l now desire to
express Is that like the stakes, the forfeit may be
large. Yours truly, John O. Heenan.

At this Into hour it Is Impossible to ascertain
wbother this note is or is not in Morrissey’s band
writing. or which, if either, of tbe two letters
rignod “John MorrisseyJMs genuine. None of
Mr. HorrUsey’s friends who might identify the
handwriting can be fonnd, and tbe reports in re
gard to Morrbsey’r presence in town ana to con
tradictory as to be unreliable. We therefore give
the matter to the public in tbe tbape in whioh St
now stands, and awaitfuitber developments in the
matter in order to disentangle this pugilistic im
broglio. ,
Feeling runs very high between bis partisans and
those of-Morrissey, and a shooting affray occurred
at the Malta ijaloon last night, growing out of a
dispute os to their respective merits. 'The parties
were United States Marsha] John Dugan and a'
mah named Parser McDermott, between whom a
fend existed.’ McDermott was coeompanled by a
number of ruffians, and having addressed Dogan
insultingly with reference to bis predilections for
Heenan. be was pushed aside and told to leave
This McDermott would not Vo, but made several
attempts to" strike Dngan, whereupon the latter
threatened to shoot him unless he desisted. MoDer
molt paid no attention to tbe threat, and egaln
attempted to strike the marshal, who immediately
pulled * smalt revolver from his packet and dis
charged it four times At his antagonist. Two of the
shots took effeot, one in Vfe band end the other in
his leg, but nolther of the wounds Is thought to
be of a sariousohsrAOter. Tbe affray oaused muoh
excitement, hut Dugan quietly walked' away be
fore the police came up. Heenan was not present
at the time.

Washington, July 18 —Owing to certain mlh»>
representations of the publio conduct of General'
Pegoliado. the Liberal ohief, which have recently
appeared in tome of the newspaper*, several gen*'
tfemeri, sojourning in this oity, and thoroughly ac
quainted with Moxloan affairs, have prepared a
brief history of events since January, 1858, which

. The written opinions of Attorney General Black
to -the President, in the oases ot naval officers who
were damaged by the action of the Naval Board,
but afterwards restored through the examination
of the revisory oourta, have, in several instances,
been brought to light recently. Tho subject has,
by this time, lost its general Interest; but; as an
example of the manner in wbloh reparation has
been made, the oase of Captain Ramsey may be
stated. The opinion was, that not one fact or ctr
oumstanoe was proved against him that weighed a
feather when placed in the scale against the over*
whelming weight of evidence in his favor; and It
Is farther stated, “If there be a man in or out of
the navy who is a thorough bred geotleman, a
skillful seaman, and an accomplished officer, Cap*
tain Ramsey may boldly claim to be that man.”

of orders, two thou jaod, oae hundred and sixty,
being about seventeen percent. Increase in the
value of postage stamps issued, $306,377, being
about twenty-two percent. This redaction in the
amount of labor, on a largely increased issue, has
been effected by furnishing each office with the
full amount required for its quarterly supply; m
nearly as it can be calculated, and forbidding

transparency embletoned uith t&e words 1 Down
with}Douglas the TraitorP We-know that
the leading Breckinridge men were earnestly ap
pealed to beforehand hot to permit that offensive;
obnoxious,aud insulting transparency to he brought
upon tbe ground and set up before the eyes of a
mixed multitude us an Incitement and provocation
to fieioo clamor and strife, bat all appeals were in
vain. Surely it is not to be wondered at, though
ot oourse to be regretted, that the vast numbers, of
Douglas men upon the ground, renumbering how
their own meeting had been annoyed and disturbed
by the Breckinridge men a few nights before, and
beholding the wanton and gross Insult to their
leader and themselves written in letters of flsme
before their eyes, gave free utterance to the aroused,
passions ot their souls.*’
