ceipt of the following letter, we shall do so and publish the letter itself although addressed to them. The writer of it is well known to our citizens as a respectable old man, sound in principles, morals and good eciisc. It appears he subscribed for the Republican a short time back, and paid, as is his custom, in advance but having become disgusted with that sheet he now makes the publishers a present of the amount, and begs to be excused from reading the paper any longer. The editors of the Republican will neither doubt
the authenticity o( this letter, nor the respect-! ability of its author: Editors Republican : OisNtlemex The season has got now too warm and hot to do much hard work, and the way of strile in which you see proper to have your paper since friend Cyrus left it forthcoming, makes the reading of it a hard and " bad job" in hot weather.

St. Louis Correspondence. Our thanks arc due friend A. R. J. for his interesting and practical correspondence from St. Louis. His letter dated July 2, lost some of its interest by being delayed on the way, but wc take pleasure in extracting a few items, and begging the writer to continue his correspondence. He says that during the week just closed, there were G7 deaths by Cholera in St. Louis, and during the week previous, 4L The writer gives the following recipe, as one which has been of great avail as a preventive. He says make a ley from hard wood ashes drink about a wine glass full of this after diluting so as to make palatable, the first thing in the morning and last thing before retiring. It carries off or neutralizes the acid on the stomach, and has an astonishing effect on digestion.

There are very few members of Congress who are not particularly industrious in dissemmating public documents. Unfortunately this is about the 2rineipal business which
some of them do, and it is only done to gain or keep friends at home. Horrible, if true.

and directly opposite to the house from which we had first been fired upon. This fire, was kept up for some minutes, when the Spaniards were dr iven into the building. It was now liht enough to discover the position of our forces ; the La. Regiment, commanded
by Lieut. Col. Reil. (Col. Wheat being wou ided.) was under the walls ol the Gven.or's house. Having received an order not to fire, my men were standing at rest, and receiving a very sharp fire from the windows and top of the builJing. by which several of them were wounded. The Miss, battalion was formed up and down the main street, their right flank resting on my right; they were protected from the lire by tho buildings in the rear. After lcrr.aining in this position some time, I, by order of Gen. Lopez, leaving one company ui der Cant. Robinson to support li e
La. Regiment, made a circuit to the left, and
passed to tl e rear ef the city, and there took up a position to resist my force that might attempt to enter the place. I remained here aoam two hours, when the news cfthe surrender of the Governor, and an order for me to return to the Plaza, were brought me. It was now nearly twenty-four hours sinee we had had refreshment or sleep, and the men
were very much exhausted. Alter placing t!

I found that the garrison, which consisted of a company of Infantry, after learning from the General the objecto! our invasion, had determined to join our standard, but the reception we met with from the citizens was far from encouraging. There were many of them leaving the place, while those who remained appeared to be much surprised and alarmed at our appearance. This state cf affairs continued until noon, when they began to wear a more favorable aspect.

Democracy is opposed to internal improvement, and in Missouri particularly has shown itself opposed to everything calculated to prosper the State : " Missouri is one of the States wherein the

thirty years old, ami where is the lirst vestige

that we were to embark on the railroad) to re-embark the troops on the Creole, and endeavor to make a landing at a point on the island where he would find a force organized and ready to support him.

As soon as the right had moved off, Gen. Lopez told me that he had been informed that there was a force, consisting of lour companies of infantry and a hundred and lift- lancers, marching upon the town, and that he doubted not it was their In

I was to defend this passage to the vetscl, anil cover the embarkation of the main body of our troops, until the signal should be sounded upon the bugle, for mo to retire to the vessel.
