Potomac is of the roost important character. Since
Thursday lust, fighting has I teen goingon between
i he. I,wo armies, and teriblc slaughter on both sides
has: taken place; but so far, the result has not been
decisive, although there is every reason to hope
that General Grant will succeed in vanquishing
Bee’s arniv. . The later is tailing back to Rich
mond, and such is the condition and spirit of our
forces that it is not impossible that ere many days
the'Rebel capital will bo in his possession. We
give the latest intelligence from the scat of war up
in the time of going to press, but while these great
. vents are transpiring it may not be out of place to
remind our readers that Harry HTtbe has still up
on his shelves, a complete stock of fine dress goods
lie bought up this spring. Also in store the haml
-oniest lot ot carpets in town, lieudes d ry goods of

Kixal Aocidbst.—The Franklin House. Hmit

left to itselhin one of the upper rooms of the Hotel,
hail, by some mishap, (the particulars of which are
.not known.) communicated fire from the stove, it
is supposed to its clothing, and was immediately
wrapped ‘in dairies. The mother, who had been
in thedining room was surprised and horror strick

i lie assistance of others, drawn to the spot to aseer
t nil) the cause of the smoke issuing from the win
daw of the room, endeavored to extinguish the
dames, which they did, alas, but too late, for, it. is
supposed, the child's clothes were burning for some
time and had consumed the greater portion of
them, the fire having communicated to tire body,
burning it severely in several places, and some of
tire flames it is beleived, had been inhaled by the
child, which tended to cause its death, after pain
ful, suffering. at two o'clock the next morning.

GLANDERS.
The most formidable of all the diseases to which
the horse is subject, is Glanders. It has been
known from the earliest antiquity.
The earliest symptom of Glanders is an increased
discharge from the nostril, small in quantity, con
stantly' flowing, of an aqueous (watery) character,
and a little mucous mingling with it.
It is a common and very- mischievous error to
suppose that this discharge is sticky, when it first
makes its appearance, It is an aqueous or mu
cous, but small and constant discharge, and is thus
distinguished from Catarrh, or nasal gleet, or any
other detluxion (discharge) from the nostril. If a
horse is in the highest condition, yet has this small
watery constant discharge, and especially from one
nostril, no time should l>c lost in seperating him
from his companions. No haim will be done by
this, although the defluxion should not ultimately
betray lurking mischief of a worse character.
The - peculiar stickiness and gluiness yvlnch is
supposed to distinguish the discharge of Glanders
from all other mucous and prevalent secretions be
longs (o the second stage of the disease, and, for
many months before this. Glanders may have ex
isted in an illiiduoiis and highly courageous form.
It must he acknowledged, however, that in the ma
jority of cases, some degree of stickiness does char
acterise the discharge of Glanders from a veir
early period.
It is a singular circumstance. for yvhich no sat
isfactory account has yetjbeeu given, that when
one nostril alone is attacked, it is, in a great major
ity of cases, the near, or loft.
This discharge, in eases of infection, may con
tinue, and in so alight a degree as to he scarcely
perceptible for many months, or even two or three
years, unattended by any other disease, even nlce
iation of the nostril, and yet the horse being de
cidedly glandered from the'.beginning, and capable
of propagating the malady. In process of time,
however, pns (matter) mingles with the discharge,
and then another and a characteristic symptom
appears. Some of this is absorbed, and the neigh
boring glands become affected. If there is dis
charge from both nostrils, the glands within the
under jaw will he on both sides enlarged. If the
discharge is from one nostril only, the swelled
gland will Oe found on that side alone. Glanders,
however, will frequently exist at an early stage
without these swelled glands, and some other dis
eases, as catarrh, will produce > them. Then we
must look out for some peculiarity about these
glands, and we shall readily find it. The swelling
mav he at first somewhat large and diffused, but
the surrounding enlargement Siam goes oil', and
one or two small distinct glands remain; and they
arc not in the centre of the channel, hut adhere
closely to the jaw on .the affected side.
The membrane of the nose should umv be ex
amined, and will materially guide our opinion. It
will either lie of a dark purplish hue, or almost of
a leaden color, or of any shade between the two;
or if there is some of the redness of inflammation,
i: will have a purple tinge: but there will never be
the iVtint pink blush of health, or the intense and
vivid red of usual inflammation. Spots of ulcera
tion will probably appear on the membrane cover
ing the cartilage of ihe nose—not mere sore places,
oil streaks of abrasion, and quite superficial, but
small ulcers, unusually approaching to a circular
form, deep, and with the edges abrupt and promi
nent. When these appearances are observed, there
can lie no doubt about the matter. Care should
be taken, hbwever, to ascertain that these ulcers
do actually exists for spots of mucus, adhering to
the membrane, have been more than once taken
for them. The finger should, if possible, lie passed
over the supposed nicer, in order to, determine
whether it can be wijied away ; and it should lie
recollected, as was hinted when describing J he duct
that conveys the tears, to the nose, that the orifice
of that duct, just within the nostril, and on the in
ner side of it, has been mistaken lor a chancrous
nicer. This orifice is on the continuation of the
common skin of the muzzle which runs a little
wav up the nostril, while the ulcer of glanders is
on the proper memhmnce of the nose above The
line of separation between the two is evident on
tiie slightest Inspection.;
When ulcers begin to appear on the membrane
of the hose, the constitution of the horse is soon
evidently affected! The patient loses flesh—his
belly is tncked up—-his coat unthrifty, and readily
coming off—the appetite is impaired—the strength
fails—cough, more or less urgent, may be heard—
the discharge from the nose will be discolored,
bloody, offensive to the smell —the ulcers in the
nose will become larger and more numerous, and
the air-passages being obstructed, a grating, chok
ing noise will be heard at every act of breathing.
There is now a peculiar tenderness about the fore
head. The membrane lifting the frontal sinuses
is inflamed and ulcerated, and the integument of
the forehead becomes thickened and somewhat
swelled. Farcy is now sftperadded to
or Glanders Ims degenerated into Farcy, and more
of the absorbents are involved.
At or before this time little tumors ap|iear about
the muscles, and face, and neck, following the
course of the veins and the absorbents, for they
run side by side ; and these the tumors soon ulce
rate. Tumors or buds, still pursuing the path of
the absorbents, soon appear on the inside of the
thighs. They are connected together by a corded
substance. This ip the inflamed and enlarged
lymphatic ; and ulceration quickly follows the ap
pearance of these bads. The deeper seated absorb
ents are next affected ; and one or both of the hind
legs swell to u great size, and become stiff, and
hot, and tender. The loss of flesh and strength
is more marked every day , The membrane of the
nose heeora'es'of a dirty .livid color. The mem
brane of the mouth .is strangely palid. The eye is
infiftrated with a yellow fluid; and the discharge
from the nose becomes more profuse and insuffer
ably offensive. The animal presents one mass of
puirifaction, and at last dies, exhausted.
There arc (peculiarities about the enlargement of
the submaxillary glands, already referred to, which
deserve particular attention. They are rarely large
except at first, or hot,,or tender; but are charac
terized by a singular hardness, a proximity to the
jaw-bone, and frequently, actual adhesion to it.
The adhesion is produced.by the inflammatory ac
tion going forward in the gland, and the effusion
of coagalable lymph. ;This hardness and adhesion
accompanying discharge from the nostril, and be
ing on the same side with the nostril whence the
discharge afford proof not to be contro
verted that the horse is glandercd. But there are
cases of glanders in Which the glands arc neither
adherent nor mucH enlargcd. , •
Glanders have often been confounded with stran
gles, and by those whd ought to have known bet
ter. Strangles are pcculiar to young horses. The
early stage resembles common cold, with some de
gree of fever am} sore throat—generally with dis
tressing cough, or ht least frequent wheezing; and
when the enlargement appears benqath the jaw, it
is not a single small gland, but a swelling of the
whole of the substance between the jaws, growing
harder towards the centre, and, after 'awhile ap
pearing tocontain a fluid,and breaking. In stran
-6 j ’“f membrane of the nose will ho intensely
red, and the discharge from the nose profuse and
purulent, or mixed with matter almost from the
first. When the tumor has burst, the fever will
abate, and the horse will speedily get well.
Should the discharge from the nose continue, as
it sometimes does, for a considerable time after
the home has recovered from strangles, there is no
cause for fean Simple strangles neM never de
generate into glanders. Good keep, and -mail
doses of tonic medicine, will gradually perfect the
cure.
Glanders have been confounded, with catarrh or
cold / but thq'distinction between them is plain
enough. Fever, joss of appetite and sore throat,
accompany cold—the qnidding of the food, and
gulping of the water are strtßcient indications of
the latter of these; the discharge from the nose is
profuse,; and perh.qis purulent; the glands under
the jaw'if swelled, are moveable, there is a thick
ening around them, and they arc tender and hot.
With proper treatment the fever abates ; the cough
disappears; the swellings under the throat subside;
and the discharge from the nose gradually ceases,
or, if it remains, it is Usually very different from
that which characterizes glanders. In glanders
there is seldom cough of any consequence, and gen
erally no cough at all.
A running from the nose, small in quantity, and,
from the smallness of its quantity, drying about
the edges of the nostril, and presenting some.ai»-
pearaiice of stickiness, will, in a few cases, remain
after severe catarrh, and especially after the influ
enza of spring; and these have gradually assumed
the character of glanders, and more partiularly
when they have been accompanied by enlarged
glands and ulceration in the nose Here the aid
of a judicious veterinary surgeon is indispensable;
and he will sometimes experience considerable dif
ficulty it) deciding the case. One circumstance
will principally guide him. No disease will run
on to glanders which has not, in a considerable and
palpable degree, impaired am} broken down the
constitution ; and every disease that does this will
.run on to glnndeiv. He will look theu to the gen
eral state and condition of the horse, as well us
to the situation of the ('lauds, the nature of the dis
churge,and the character of the ulceration.
If, after all, he is in doubt, ait exjreriment may
be resorted to, which wears, indeed the appearance
of cruelty, and which only the safely of a valuable
animal, or of a whole team can justify. He will
inoculate an ass, or a horse already condemned to
the hounds, with the matter discharged from the
nose. If the horse is glandered, the symptoms of
glanders or fau-y will appear in the inoculated
animal in the course of a few davs.
The post-mortem examination of the horse will
remove every clonhr as to the character of rite dis
ease. The nostril is generally more or less blanch
ed, with spots or lines of Infloimuatioii of consid
erable intensity. Ulceration is almost invariably
found, and of a ehancrous character, on the septum,
and also on the icthmoid and turbinated bones.
The ulcers .evidently follow the .course of the ab
sorbents, sometimes almost confined to the track
of the main vessel, or if scattered over the mem
brane generally, thickest over the path of the lym
phatic. The icthmoid and turbinated bones are
often filled with pus. and sometimes eaten through
and carious; but in the majority of cases, the ul
ceration is conhiied to the external mcpibrane. al
though there may be pus within. In aggravated
cases the disease extends through all the cells of
the head and face.
The path of flic disease down the larynx and
windpipe is easily traced, and the ulcers follow one
line—tt|mi of the absorbents. In aggravated cases
this can generally he traced on to the lungs. It
produces inflammation in these organs, character
ised in some cases by congestion; but in other
cases, the congestion having gone* on to hepatisa
lion, in which the cellular texture nf the lungs is
obliterated Most frequently, when the lungs arc
affected at all. tubercles are fouiid—miliary tuber
cles—minute granulated spots on the surface, or in
the substance of' the lungs, and not accompanied
by much inflammation. In a few cases there are
larger tubercles, which soften and burst, and ter
minate in cavities of varying size.
In some cases, and showing that glanders is not
essentially or necessarily a discaec of the lungs,
there is no morbid affection whatever in those
organs.
The historv thus given of the symptoms of glan
ders will clearlv :>«.iut out its nature.
It is inflammation, whether specific or common,
of .the lining membrane of the nose—possibly for
months, and e\m fur years, confined to that mem
brane, and even to a portion of it—the health and
the usefulness of the animal not being in the slight
est degree impair vl. Then, •from some unknown
cause, not a new bui an intenser action is set up,
the inflammation more seedily runs its course, and
the membrane Ur»»mes ulcerated- The inflamma
tion spreads on «*iflier side down the septum, and
the ulceration ai length assumes that peculiar chan
croid form which characterises inflammation of the
absorbents.. Kvcu then, when the discharge be
comes gluey, and sometimes after chancres have
appeared, the In cm* is apparently well. There arc
hundreds of glandcred horses about the country
with not a sick one among them. For months or
even years this disease may do no injury to the
general health. The inflammation is purely local,
and is only recognised by the invariable accompa
niment of inflammation and increased secretion.
Its neighbors fall around, but the disease affects
not the animal whence it came. At length a con
stitutional inflammation appears : farcy is estab
lished in its must horrible form, and death speedily
closes the scene.
Glanders may be either bred in the horse, or
communicated by contagion. What we have far
ther to remark on this malady*will be arranged
under, these two heads.
Improper stable management we believe to be a
far more frequent cause of glanders than contagion.
The air which is necessary to respiration'is changed
and,empoisoned in its passage through the lungs,
amink/resli supply is necessary for the support of
life. That supply may be sufficient barely to sup
port life, but not to prevent the vitiated air from
again and again passing to the lungs, and produ
cing irritation-and disease. The membrane of the
nose, possessed of extreme sensibility for the pur
poses of smell, is easily irritated by tins poison,
and close and ill ventilated stables oftenest witness
the ravages of glanders. Professor Coleman re
lates a case which proves to demonstration the ra
pid and fatal agency of this cause. “In the ex
pedition to Quiberony the horses had not been long
on board the tran.-qiorts before it became necessary
to shut down the hatchways for a few hours ; the
consequence of this was, that some of them were
suffocated, and that all the rest were disembarked
either glandered or farcied.”
The injurious gasses arising from the dung, mine
etc., in Wily cleaned stables, are also
sources of the mischief.
Glanders may be produced by anything that in
jures, or for a length of time acts upon and weak
ens the vital energy of this membrane. They have
beer, known to follow a fracture of the bones of the
nose. They have been the consequence of violent
catarrh, and particularly the long Continued dis
charge from the nostrils, of which we have spoken.
They have been produced by the injection of stim
ulating and acrid substances up the nostril. Eve
rything that weakens the constitution - generally
will lead to glanders.
Among the causes of glanders are want of regu
lar exercise, over-exertion, and the stimulating
and debilitating cordials administered by senseless
grooms.
Every exciting (sanserif disease exerts its chief
and! worst influence op, the membrane of the nose,
and there is not another disease which may not lay
the foundation of glanders. A long time may
elapse before it appears, bnt when at length the
whole frame becomes excited or debilitated in some
way, this debilitated portion is the first to yield to
the attack.
Several strongly marked instances are on record I
showing the connection between the attack of this !
disease and exposure to the dampness of brick and '
stone stables, the walls of which were not yet dry,
and in others subject to damp exhalations. I
There is no doubt that glanders, or a predispo- ;
sition to glanders, is sometimes hereditary. j
Glanders are highly contagious, If the dis- |
charge from the nostrils of aglandered horse is j
rubbed on a wound, or on a macoas surface, like ;
the nostrils, It will produce a similar disease. If |
the division between two horses were sufficiently ;
high! to prevent all smelling and snorting at each j
other, and contact ot every kind, and they drank ,
nut out of the same jtail, a sound home might liveH
for years, uninfected, by the side of. a glandered '
one. 1 The matter of glandersjias been mixed up !
into a ball and given to a healthy horse without j
effect. Some horses have eaten the hay left by
those that were glandered, and no bad consequences i
followed ; but others have been speedily infected, j
The glanderous matter must come in contact with |
a wound, or fall on-some membrane, thin and del- j
icate, like that of the nose, and through which it |
mav be absorbed. It is easy, then, accustomed as
horses are to be crowded together, and to recog
nize eaclt other by the smell—eating out of the
same manger, and drinking from the same paih—
to imagine that the disease may he very readily
communicated. One horse has passed another
when he was in the act of snorting, and became
Slandered. Some fillies bare received the infec
tion from the matter blown by the wind acmes a
lane, when a glandered in the opposite field
has claimed acquaintance by neighing or snorting.
It is almost impossible for an infected horse to re
main long in a stable with others without irrepara
ble mischief.
If some persons underrate the danger, it is be
cause the disease may remain unrecognized in the
infected horse for some months, or even years, and
thereforCj when it appears, it is attributed to other
causes, or to after-inoculation. No glandered horse
should be employed on any farm, nor should a
glandered horse be permitted to work on any road,
or even to pasture on any field. He should be de
stroyed.
In a well seated ease of glanders it is not Worth
while, except by way of experiment at a veterinary
school, to attempt ally remedies. The chances, of
cure are .too remote, and the danger of infection
too great. ,
If. however, remedial measures arc resorted to,
a pure atmosphere is that which should first bo
tried. Turn out the horse, and, if iroclicable, on
\ salt itiarsh, —but much caution is requisite, as
trie grass, and even the fences may receive the
glanderous matter; and hardening on them, it
may, months afterward, communicate the disease
to horses; and there'is not yet decided proof that
sheep and cattle are not subject jo the same malady.
Worse than all, the man who attends on that
horSe is, in danger. The cases are becoming far
too iiumerous in which the groom or tire veterinary
surgeon, attending on glandered horses, becomes
infected, and in the majority of cases dies.
livery ijortion of tire stable, every vessel, etc.,
which have been within the reach of a nasal dis
charge of a glandered horse, should be well scro
lled, scoured with soap and water, then washed
with a solution of chloride of lime (a pint of the
chloride to a pail full of water,) and the walls
whitewashed. His bead gear should he burned—
his clothing baked or washed—[rails newly painted
—and tire iron work with which he lias been in
contact, should, where practicable, be exposed to a
red heat.
