From Washington.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
WASHINGTON, March 7.—The order for
the release of Semmes has not yet reached
the Navy Department. There seems to be
a hiteh l in the matter somewhere.
The Attorney General's opinion has been
asked in the matter. When he was arrested
it was with the consent and approval of the
President and Cabinet. Both Generals
Grant and Sherman were of opinion that he
was not included in the general parole.
The League Island matter is still before
House Naval Committee, and no decision
has beet reached. it will probably be de
, termined at the next meeting.
The friends of other sites in New Eng
land and elsewhere are working against
League Island.
George Francis Train arrived here 10-day
to hedge off the Mexican loan by asking a
similar guarantee for Fenian bonds. The
proposition will be offered to-day in the
Home.

PHILADELPHIA SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING
AGRICULTURE-THE CATTLE DISEASE.-A
stated meeting of this Society was held this
morning, Craig Biddle, Esq., President, in
the Chair.
The President stated that he had received
a communication from the Agricultural
Department relative to the Paris Universal
Exposition of 1867. The letter of the Com
missioner asks the co-operation of the so
ciety in order to have a good representation
of agricultural implements and products.
The French Government is to bear the whole
expense of the Exhibition. The circular
gives full details of the arrangements.
Dr. Elwyn suggested that•some commu
nication be had with the Board of Trade, to
ascertain what articles can be sent, and how
they are to be sent.
Dr. Kennedy thought that some action
should be taken by the Society. At the last
exhibition in Paris, Canada far exceeded the
United States in the agricultural display.
He thought that Congress should be memo
rialized to detail a national vessel to carry
articles for exhibition. Unless that is done
tiwre will be a very poor representation.
The subject was finally referred to a com
mittee consisting of Dr. Elwyn and Dr.
Kennedy.
A •communication was received from
Henry Clok, late Veterinary Surgeon U. S.
A., relative to cattle diseases. The paper
went into the history of the cattle disease,
and the conclusions were that the rinder
pest is not small-pox, but is nothing but
pleuro-pneumonia.
Also a communication from Jesse M.
Williams stating that there is no more
disease existing among the cattle in Mont
gomery county, than in former years, and
in the opinion of experienced agriculturists,
there is less. There is no cause whatever
for excitement on the subject.
A discussion upon the Rinderpest then
ensued.
Dr. Elwyn proposed that a committee be
appointed to visit Montgomery county and
other place where the disease is said to
exist. He suggested that Drs. McClure and
Jennings, and Prof. Leidy be constituted
the committee.
Dr. Robert McClure, V. S., said that there
is no Rinderpest in this country. The re
ports of disease in Montgomery county are
not correct. When they were first published
he sent one of his students to Montgomery
county, where this disease was said to exist.
Upon arriving there he was referred to
Bucks county, and in the latter he was re
ferred back to Montgomery. Dr. McClure
stated that there is not as much disease in
the counties adjacent to Philadelphia, as
there was six years ago.
Dr. Kennedy remarked that Dr. Corson
had been misrepresented. He wrote about
pleuro-pneumonia, and it has been magni
fied into the rinderpest. As far as Montgo
mery county is concerned he is confident
that their is no rinderpest, and he has not
seen a single person who says there is. The
matter is dying out, and the appointment
of a committee would only make it worse.
The following resolution was then
adopted.
Resolved, That the Society has no in
formation which would justify the belief
that there exists among the cattle of our
country any greater amount of disease than
usual. Neglect of sanitary regulations,
and certain local causes produce' at all
times diseases among both men and
beasts. It is unwise to confound these
results of evident causes with
the great scourge now affecting
the cattle of England; that
nevertheless it is highly , proper that unu
sual precautions should be taken to keep all
animals in strong health and prepare as
best we can against future danger.
THE Poracz.-The city is remarkably
quiet at the present time. Police business,
is exceedingly dull. The reports 'of the
Lieutenants presented to the Chief this
morning contained but few arrests and the
most of them were entirely blank. Outside
of drunkenness, two petty larcenies, and
three assaults and batteries, were the only
crimes put down. ;The Second District,
which has formerly had the most prisoners,
had but one in during last night,
rat DAILY EVENING BULLETIN • PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAI , MARCH . 7, 1866.
A MARCH. SNOW STORM.—Snout com
menced falling about ten o'clock this morn
ing. The wind was high and. the flakes
came down thick and fast almost blinding
those who were'com.pelled to be out 'in the
streets. For several hours the storm pre
vailed very fiercely, but the snow melted as
it fell and therefore did not cause any
slushy streets or disagreeable walking.
RECKLESS DRIVING. - A young man
named Michael Barron, was arrested yes
terday afternoon, upon the charge of reck
less driving. He was the driver of a wagon
by which a man was run over at Second
and Dock streets. Barron was taken before
Alderman Hurley, and was committed to
answer.
