It is certainly no more than iustice to the
j j Commissioner to say that he has managed this perplexing and responsible business m a manner highly creditable to himself and advantageous to the state. We now feel assured that in a short time the Michigan Road from Madison to Lake Michigan will be second onlv to the National Road. On Friday the 22d inst. the Commissioner finished letting out the improvements on the road north of Logansport, after having re-surveyed it, and made a number of changes calculated to straighten it and place it on di ver ground. The distance is 101 miles and 149 rods. The improvements contracted for consist, in addition to the cutting of it out 100 feet wide, as contemplated by the law, in turnpiking and ditching the wet ground and wet prairies that can be drained, bridging the streams, causewaying or bridnin2 the marshes that have no outlet,
and grading the hills and baiikg of streams. The whole road from Madison to Lake Michigan is now under contract and the contractors bound to complete their several engagements by the last day of November next. There is not a swamp or marsh within this distance, 265 miles, that will not if practicable, be drained and thrown up. For ourselves we think it fortunate for the road that the Commissioner adopted this mode of improvement; for experience has
taught us that unless the swamps are drained, we need not hope for good roads in this
country. If drained, and the dirt thrown up on the part travelled, our beach flats will in a few years present the best roads.
The following statement politely furnished us by the Commissioner, showing the kind and quantity of improvements let out
at each place of sale, and the amount for
which they sold, may not be uninteresting to a portion of our readers to those interested we are sure it will not, viz: At Stanton's, in Laporte county, the opening of 18 miles of the road 100 feet wide; the building of two frame bridges, 40 feet each; seventeen puncheon bridges, making 390 feet; the grading of thirty hills and banks; constructing 190 rods of log causewaying over the worst description of marshes; 2S4 rods of turnpiking, and 545 rods ot ditching; sold for d,20-l, making an average per mile of $'315 0. At Lykin's, on Lake dc Chcmin, the opening of 12 miles 100 feet wide; the building of 5 puncheon bridges, making 115 feet; constructing 2S1 rods log causewaying; 128
rods of turnpiking; ditching and throwing up 229 rods; sold for $1,867, making per
mile $15o o3.
At ths South Bend, the opening of 32
miles 100 feet wide; the building of 2 frame bridges, 140 feet; 22 puncheon bridges, 425
feet: the oradini? of 15 banks and hills: con-
structing 201 rods of log causewaving; 278
rods of puncheon csc waving: 473 rods of
turnpiking, and 084 rods of ditching; sold
for $10,056, making per mile $318 25.
At iippecanoc river, the opening of 16
miles 100 feet wide; building 17 puncheon bridges, 210 feet; the grading of 21 hills
and banks; constructing 59 rods of log causewaying; 28 rods of puncheon causewaying; 263 rods of turnpiking, and 286 rods of ditching; sold for $1,381, making per mile $273 81. At Logansport, the opening of 24 miles 100 feet wide: building one frame bridge, ISO feet long; 24 puncheon bridges, making
761 feet in length; the grading of 24 hills and banks; constructing 347 rods of lo causewaying; 1,341 rods of turnpiking, and 1,110 rods of ditching; sold for $6,835, making per mile $284 79. All the improvements from Logansport to Lake Michigan, 102 miles, were contracted to be done for $29,343, making an average per mile of $287 68. To us these contracts seem to have been taken very low indeed. We understand that the contractors arc all responsible men, the most of them residing in the country, and well acquainted with the lands yet to be sold. These lands we are informed bv a gcntle-
j man viewing the country have been most
judiciously selected by the Commissioner. The greater part of them is first rate. All or nearly all of them will sell in a few years. Ind. Journal, June 30.
will be mustered before they arc considered in service, by an Inspector General, or some other officer of the regular Army, to be designated by the officer requiring such Militia aid. 3. All supernumerary officers will be rejected, and the organization of each detachment will correspond with the acts of Congress regulating the Militia. 4. It shall be the duty of the officer so mustering, and inspecting Militia detachments, to make immediate return thereof to the War Department. 5. No statf officers will be mustered, or received into service, except the established regimental staff, and such general officers with their aids-de-camps, as may be required
to complete the organization of brigades or
divisions, where the strength of the detachments renders such organization necessary. 6. Payments will in all cases be made by the district pay masters of the army, and only upon rolls which shall have previously been submitted to the pay master general, and found by him to be in conformity with the law, and the regulations of the Department. The many doubtful questions which
arise upon the subject of these payments, render this course indispensable. Without it the government would be exposed to groat loss, and the paymasters themselves to a ruinous responsibility. LEW. CASS, Secretary of War.'' R. Jones, Adjutant General.
poor creatures were buried without coffins and the pits filled with limo. Whilst the disease was confined to the lower classes, the greatest irritation and jealousy existed among them that the rich were spared, and it is a fact the first funeral of a person of rank which entered Pere la Chaise, was received with shouts and rejoicing.1 The progress of this scourge has been very remarkable, and puzzles the medical men to such a degree that thev
chloride should be thrown before any attempt ; i3 made to pump or bail them out. Some of
the streets are watered daily by private contract. This boird deem it prudent to request the employers to add one fourth of a pound of the chloride to each hogshead, to obviate tha deleterious effects of the moisture. No water should bo thrown on tho streets after four o'clock, P. M. The chloride cf lime is a perishable arti
cle, and should consequently be kept close-

contagion is now quite exploded, as it broke out here spontaneously; still whole families have been swept away. Many eminent characters have fallen victims and Casimcr Perier is still in great danger. He was" one of the first attacked among the rich, and is yet lingering on the confines of the grave. His wife and one of his sons have likewise had the disease. Many English families fled on the first alarm. It is remarkable that very few strangers have been attacked; and it would seem that the
nigheranu lower classes have suhered the
els.
No true comparison can be mnoTe between lime and the chloride, as disinfecting agent3, inasmuch as their effects are entirely different; and as the chloride is vastly superior, this Board strongly recommend it to tho public. By order of the Board of Health, SAM'L W. DAVIS, Pres't. Julv 4, 1SS2.
Congress. The following is the vote giv-
From the New York Evening Post. The Editors of the New-York Evening Post have been favored with a copy of a letter from a lady in Paris, to her friends in ibis country, describing the scourge, now sounding in all our ears, in the unpretending and accurate style in which women paint whatever excites their sympathies. It presents a more lively, and we should think, a more faithful picture of the general aspect of that peculiar people, under the influence of this comprehensive and incomprehensible pestilence, than any which has yet fallen under our observation. One trait is particularly striking: the exemption of the rich from early attack was looked upon by the populace as an aristocratical privilege, and the first patrician corpse was ushered into the

extremes predispose persons to take the
disease. The newspapers' make the best of the evil, and it is believed that not a fourth has been recorded. Thirty thousand would probably be under the mark. It was at first supposed that the disease was occasioned by bad air, but the air was analysed
in various places, and found perfectly pure. During the greater part of the time that the Cholera has raged here, the wind has been in the northeast. The sky without a cloud; and brilliant sunshine, and it seemed singularthat at the moment when the vegetable world is bursting fourth into life, and all nature wears the most smiling and beautiful aspect, man is marked for destruction.

fortunate. 1 could not accomplish this, fori

ter another was seized among the higher classes, and the panic became universal. It seemed like a thunderbolt from the Heavens. The cases increased by hundreds a day the Hospitals were crowded. There were no beds for the sick, and the rich as well as the poor became daily victims to the enemy. I am told by medical men, who have witnessed its progress in the hospitals, that all the remedies used in other countries were tried in vain the disease baffled the skill of the most experienced sometimes taking off the patient in three hour?, and in other instances torturing its victims for many days, but not less surely ending in death: at present it seems stationary. Those places where it first appeared are becoming more healthy, because it seems to have satiated itself with victims among the poor, or to speak more correctly, there are probably few left for it to prey upon. In tiie Fohourg St. Gcmain, whole streets are depopulated; at one time the deaths amounted to 1,000 and l,t'03 a day: carts go about daily to take out the dead, who are put into cofiins, rudely and slightly nailed together, and buried in large piu dug fori ho purpose; in some instances these carts have been so laden that the cofiins have fallen off and the bodies they contained have relied ia tho streets.

DIRECTIONS FOR TIIE fSECF TIIE CHLORIDE OF LIME. Dissolve one table spoonful in a quart cf
river or rain water, carefully breaking up the !
Jumps. Let it stand to settle, i he clear liquid is then fit for use, and should be kept in closely corked glass, earthen and wooden vessels. This fluid should be sprinkled about the sick room, or placed exposed to ihe air, in open dishe s. The latter mode is preferred, as it does not soil the floors, and as the substance can be removed whenever the smell is unpleasant. In putrid, infectious or contagious disorders, the sprinkling is preferred. When cholera, scarlet fever,vpkus fever, small pox, or varioloid exist, all the clothing, linen, bedding, &.c. should be dipped in this solution and then thoroughly rinsed in clear water previous to being washed. Attendants before and after touching tho patient or the linen should din their hands in this solution. Mixed with the ordinary white-wash and applied to the wails it forms a proper mode of purifying rooms and apartment in which disease mav have existed or which are foul
and impur.i.
