The Ladies’ Fair on Tuesday and Wed
nesday Evenings Next.—The citizens of
Des Arc and vicinity have heretofore dis
played a generous nunamj m aium*, ^
church buildings, and we are confident they
will be found ready again to give the helping
hand towards completing the neat and tasty
edifice which our Baptist friends have in
process of erection on the corner of Erwin
and Park streets. The ladies are all invited
to lend their aid, and if they but determine
that it shall be well attended and liberally
patronised, the men will be necessarily com
pelled to attend and do their full share to
wards carrying out the objects in view.
The Fair will be held at the new Baptist
Church building. We are authorised to invite
all to attend, especially those who possess
large souls and liberal feelings.
Strawberries —We are under many obli

a military company in Des Arc. A committee
was appointed to report this evening. The

found Hadfield & Wright's remedies for sale.
J)r. Hadfield visited our town last week and
[ delivered two lectures on Homceopathy to very
I respectable and attentive audiences, in the
Presbyterian Cbuch. The Dr. certainly un
derstands his subject, and elucidates in such
a way that none can misunderstand him. The
. audiences seemed enraptured with the theory,
and the Dr. backed up his theory by indispu
table statistics where homceopathy had been
tried, side by side with alopatby in pneumo
nia, cholera, typhoid fever, yellow fever, etc.,
ami the percentage in favor of homoeopathy
more than double in every instance. We un
derstand a number of our citizens purchased
books and medicines, and are intending to give
the system a fair trial.
The Editorial Excursion.—We are in
receipt of a complimentary ticket which en
titles “the Editor of the Citizen and Lady” to

XaTNRE. CAUSES AND TRlMTMF.NT OF VERNAI
ENDEMIC DISEASE PREVAILING IN SEVERAI
LOCALITIES IN ARKANSAS, IN i860. WlTH
i HINTS ON THE PROPHYLACTIC AND HYGIF.NH
MEASURES OF PRESERVATION, OF THE M0R
DID AGENCY OF MALARIA.
By S. CHENIVA, M. D.
Although I had not the opportunity of be
ing an ocular witness at the respective places,
viz: Augusta, Clarendon and Searcy, in this
State, yet, the prevailing disease at the above
places, evidently partakes of endemic charac
ter—judging from different statements, which
I have been able to collect from reliable
sources. It would seem, also, that the nature
of the prevailing malady is of a malignant
and contagions nature.
Speculations are highly excited, to account
for the causes of Ihe reigning malady. The
philosophers of the several places, at first
boldly asserted that the low grounds contigu
ous to Augusta, were the source of the disease.
Afterwards, ft was attributed that the con
tagion was imported from abroad. And
lastly, when all other causes failed, the most
knowing ones declared that the inclemency
of the late winter, was the cause of general
disease, and that other localities escaped the
calamity for reasons which could not be di
vined.
All speculations on this subject, at last
seems to revert to the doctrines of the an
cients. which declare that all epidemics are
owing to "a secret constitution of the atmos
phere,” (neither depending on heat, cold,
dryness or fhoisture,) which prevails periodi
cally. and not only influences the character,
but changes the type of diseases.
Oh ! wonder not, young Physic, do not smile
in your sleeve, ye non-committal expectation
tsts ! Ye steaming Thompsonians and ye infini
tismai potentates of Hommopathic attenua
tions! that Doctors and Physiologists of an
cient times did differ in opinion, as they do
now, on the causes and origin of malaria.
In Des Arc, the exacerbations of the disease
seemingly had assumed a milder form and was
somewhat of a more tractable character.—
However, many cases ended fatally.
From many cases that came under my treat
ment, but which without a single exception
terminated favorably, I am enabled to produce
the following observations :
Symptoms.—The first stage was ushered in
by a rigor, an uneasy sensation in the throat,
sometimes tinnitus aurium—(lushed coun
tenance, and some fever. Upon examination
the fauces were affected with an erisipelatous
inflammation, which extended to the velum
pendulum palati and urula. If the disease
was not quickly checked, the tonsils become
swollen, with white specks or slough upon
them, which continued to extend with in
ereased fever. Dulse, freciuent but not tense.
Age or sex showed no marked predilection.
In the latter stages, the affection of the
tonsils increased and the inflammation seemed
to pervade the trachea and lungs, the breast also
was generally affected with cough, oppression,
pletiretic stiches; the stomach was little
affected with irritability, vomiting being not
a rare occurrence—the tongue was mostly
foul, rarely parched; the ardor of the skin
was not comparable in intensity or continu
ence. what occur in Typhoid Pneumonia—
for which disease, by many, it was often mis
taken.
From the begining of the first stage, the
eruption of the skin was almost generally
present. Invading the face, neck, breast, arms,
ami often the lower extremities; at first the
papula; were scattered, or in clusters, and on
the fourth or fifth day become confluent. The
separation of the cuticle is greater than in
measles, but in smaller portions than in
Scarlatina—the patients commonly complain
of pain in the neck, and in the salivary glands ;
however, neither the eyes nor the 110‘se seems
to suffer as in nfeasies. The color of the erup
tion was generally dark, and the sense of itch
ing great.
The characteristic features of the eruption
are very similar to the Rubeola maligna of
Dr. Geo. Barrows; but attended with more
grave symptoms and more alarming local com
plications.
At first, many persons believed that the dis
ease was nothing more than the old fashioned
measles, and undertook to cure themselves;
however, a few days convinced them of their
error, and placed them in a situation, not only
dangerous, but in some instances, beyond the
reach of medical aid.
Having thi s offered my observations con
cerning the history and progress of the disease,
1 proceed now to establish its Epidemic na
Phere Is a group of diseases related to one
another by obvious affinities, and essentially
differing from all others, which do not appear
to have been already discriminated with suffi
cient distinctness in any arrangement of No
sology. hence it is not easy to determine pre
cisely, those that appear under various and
new forms, whether they ought or not be ad
mitted into the natural assemblage of Epidemic
diseases. The Plague, Yellow Fever, with all
the subordinate grades of Remittents and In
termittents, and the several varieties of Ty
phurs, are those which exhibit the most inti
mate relations Dysentery, and some other
distempers, of warm climates and seasons,
which are apt to become epidemic, certainly
deserve 10 Siauu HI mu aaawpuivwu,
these as they are supposed to be the effect of
common principle, somewhat modified, which
is properly called Miasma, or the effluvium of
dead animals and vegetable substances under
going decomposition, may be denominated
Miasmatic Diseases; hence I propose to class
here described complaint under the same cate
gory—and give the name Miasmo —Eruptive
Fever. 11 is not expected here that the new
name which is here proposed, will be received
into professional or popular use, or indeed,
that it will be suited for that purpose. The
object of proposing it is chiefly on the ground
that Dr. Galen admits the propriety of some
times discriminating diseases by a reference to
their remote causes in the following words:
<; Erisipelatis autem accidentia his fere simiia
sunt end in super febris quoque cum vehe
mentissima siti laborantes cruciat; eas eniiu
febris quascausones ; id est, ardentes, antiqui
vocorbant, magna ex parte adrenire videmus
iecoj-is aut ventriculi tiammes dissositiombus
atque in pulmonis inflammatione erysipelatii
participe ardentes febres excitantur ; qiiemad
modum ubi in uni versa quoque corpore bilios
humores ad immoderatum fervorum perveni
unt. Berum heequee aut jecoris, aut yentiscul
occasione ereniunt amiiium sunt vehementis
simee.”—[Galen de loc Aifect. Cap ii.

affected in the same way. proven by tensioi
and pain of the right hypogastric,and umbilica

sometimes of the side, with difficult respira
tion, evinced an inflammation of the brain.
In such inflammatory disposition ot th
Viscera, what opinion are we to form of th
violant administration of Calomel and utne
drastic purgatives? If there be any stead;
rational, though not infallible principle- i
medicine, ft must justly be assumed one, tha
the purgative medicines are inadmissible i

Viscera, particularly of the stonuch. inte;

the administering of drastic purogatives, eve
in slight tumors, with inflammation at the con
m»ncement. he almost entirely interdicts the:

Phvsicians, who, talcing him and nature for
guide, have shown themselves her minister
not her dictators.

From the True Democrat.J
The third Tirade of J W Moore. Esq.,
against the Revision of the Bible in
1350.
A recapitulation of the facts in this case.
! 1. for November. 1859. (1858 was an erratum
i —an error in rny note of February 20.) I lec
| tqrsd in Fort Smith, Ark,, on the revision of
the Bible. 2. Aft r I left the State, J. W.
Moore, esq., began a series of tirades against
me and the revision nf the Bible, and con
tinued them in the public press in 1858 and
’59, unnoticed by me, though repeatedly re
quested to notice him. J. Fact, he obtained
several certificates against me, and published
them, in which He caricatured and misre
presented my lectures. Since I came to
this place and section 1 have been informed
bv two gentlemen that two of the certificates
were from one-sided sectarians, and the third
one was a double sectarian and a confirmed
I sot. This was the course you pursued towards
me in my absence for two years, without any
notice from me whatever. 4. Fact. In Janu
ary, I860, I returned to Arkansas and lectured
on the revision of the Bible, and you began a
second series of tirades against the revision
of th" Bible and delivered two before I noti
ced your one of February 8, and the other of
February 15th. Fact 5 When I noticed you
for the Arst time on February 20, and accept
ed your challenge that our common version is
ale wf. need desire, you began at once to
crawfish—to back down, and called all the
above facts as some remarks about revision,
ending in a challenge to you by me for a dis
cussion. I stated to you distinctly in my notice
of your tirades in February 20, that I hoped
there would be no backing down 1'ioin an ac
ceptance of your plain challenge. You con
verted all the*? facts in your note of Februa
ry 29. into a challenge by me to you for a dis
cussion. I want you to show how you did
this. You expect to evade proving your affir
mation by my supposed ignorance of Hebrew
ami Greek. The less I know of anything the
better for yon ; the less you have to do, the
easier will be your triumph over me, and the
greater will be your victory over me. Let not
my ignorance therefore, sir, aiTord you any
longer an excuse for trying to crawfish from
your affirmation and challenge that ‘‘our com
mon version is all we need desire.”
In all your three tirades againstthe revision,
I have not seen the semblance of a reason in
support of your affirmation, except, perhaps
the ^French revolution—Dr. Kane’s mother
reading to him out of the common version,
Chiliarch—my views it cites.” These. I con
fess are unsound arguments against the re
vision of tiie Bible. You have two powerful
motives to make good your challenge. First,
if you prove it you will immortalize yourself
—you will be canonized by the enemies of
revison as a great saint, you will stand on the
list of canonization next to St. Judas him
self. Secondly, you will have the credit of
stopping the making of a sectarian Bible,
which you alledge to be the most wicked pro
ject of the age—the consummation of secta
rianism. I pledge myself to (he community
that if you prove satisfactorily that our com
mon version is ai.i. wo need desire, that I will
stop lecturing on the subject of the revision,
and 1 will use all ray influence to stop the
Bible Revision Association from proceeding
any further with their sectarian version.”
But on the other hand, if yon fail to sus
tain your affirmation before the public in a
discussion, you will be regarded as unworthy
of the notice of honest and truthful men
for having made an affirmation which you
are both unable a il unwilling to prove,
and which disqualifies you for having the su
pervision of public morals, for making an
affirmation which' you knew to be untrue
at the time you penned it. A gentleman re
marked to methatthe certificates you publised
against me in 1858. were false, and only
false and nothing but false. He heard my
lectures in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in Novem
ber, 1859. Hoping that you will choose the
former alternative anu not the latter, and that
•you wil inform me at your earliest conveni
ence of such a choice,
I remain yours trulv.

The Steamboat and Marine Law.—The
Custom House officials in New Orleans, hav
ing been very active of late in enforcing the
laws upon owners and masters of steamboats,
and the desire to see the laws being very
general, we re-publish them :
Boats running without the necessary papers,
are liable to a fine of $500.
Papers marked “permanent,” are good for
one year, except a change in ownership, eith
er in whole or in part, takes place, when they
must be surrendered.
Papers marked “ temporary,” must be sur
rendered at the Custom House at the port to
which the boat belongs, within ten days after
her arrival at such port. Penalty for failure
to do so, $100.
When a boat changes Captains owners,
either in whole or in part, the old papers
must be surrendered and new ones taken out.
A fbilure to do so involves a penalty of $500.
When a boat changes ^Captains, her papers
must be surrendered and’the change indorsed
thereon. Penalty for neglect to do so, $100.
Certificates of Inspection and Gunpowder
I Licenses must be posted in some conspicuous
place on the boat. Penalty, $100for not com
\ plying with this regulation.
; ' Boats are not permitted to carry loose hemp,
F and baled hemp must not be carried on the
. decks or guards unless covered with bagging
j or similar fabric. Gunpowder, oil of vitriol,
-“esniphene, ami other explosive burning fluids
I or materials which ignite by friction, must not
1 be carried unless special license is taken out.
! A violation of any of these provisions will
j involve a penalty of $100.
> Enlargement of the Portland Canal.
1 The Cincinnati Enquirer of a late date has
! the following in reference to this subject:
As there has been some inquiry as the man
> ner proposed of enlarging the Portland Canal
, we will again state that the Directors intend
r to remove thirty-five feet of earthy from one
, side, making it one hundred feet wide, and to
i increase the depth of one foot; to construct
t several basins or places for boats to pass each
i other ; to make a dam extending fr om the
e head of the canal-io the -mouth of Hn . i grae*
- creek, to branch just above the present locks,
s extending about a quarter of a mile down the
n river; to construct two lift-locks, seventy
feet wide and four hu di ed feet long. With
r such improvements, it will not require more
d than an hour to pass the largest steamer
e through the canal, and fifty boats a day may
a pass without detention. The whole cost
,, would not exceed $1,000,000. Another ad
vantage derived by the proposed plan of lm
proveinent is that it will not impede the use
of the canal during its construction. The
proposed branch turns out from the main ca
a nal,just above the present locks, and conse
r quently the branch can be entirely completed
without interfering with the present canal, all
the locks below it. The earth, which is to be
j removed thirty-five feet from one side, can he
| removed without interrupting the commerce,
i The rocks, which must be taken out in order
j to deepen it, can be taken from the bottom
of the present canal, they say. in about, two
months, during low water in the river, when
there is verv little commerce upon it. When
completed by this branch, it will have the ad
vantage of having two sets of locks, those on
the present canal being used to pass small
boats when the river is in good order, anal
those on the branch to pass the larg* boats
