From the Galenian. Cholera. This pestilence still conlfnues to prevail among us. Cases have occurred during the last week one of which proved fatal. Wo hive seen so many articles in newspas pers and pamphlets on the epidemic Cholera, written by those who have never seen a case of it, and consequently know nothing about it, that we have long since concluded that the public have exhibited ten errors to one truth. This, in ordinary matters, would not produce much alarm; but when men, and particularly medical men, send forth treaties on a disease, about which they know nothing, and thereby promulgate errors, by the adoption of which many lives might bo lost, which could have been saved, great evil will certainly be the result. To

stale a few practical facts in relation to the treatment of Cholera, and not to enter into a labored theory of the pathology of the disease, i3 the sole object of the present remarks. All the claim the editor of this paper has to know any thing more about the disease than those who write in other papers is, that lie is a physician, and has been constantly among the disease during the last three months. When it first made its appearance in Galena, afterwards on board of steam boats, then at Hock Island during its prevalence in ths army, lie was constantly among it. We will now proceed to give the public the result of his minute observation on the Cholera, or so much thereof as may be of service to all who live out of the reach of immediate medical aid.

Bank of England. The following language, held by members of the British Cabinet, in relation to the Brink of England, will show the apprehensions of the Aristocracy in regard to the Mammoth in that country. How much more should the republicans of free America guard against a similar gigantic Institution here: Brougham, now Lord Chancellor, said in 1826 "Much had been said upon the proceedings of the Bank of England during the late panic. Without wishing to throw blame upon the conduct of

that body, he could not help expressing his conviction, that an end must come to that system which exerted so power ful an influence at present, not only upon the money market, but on the whole trade of the country. Some change ought to be effected by which the interest of the whole empire, together with the fortunes of every family in it, should be drawn from the control and direction of four and twenty men. Lord Liverpool, said "I am continced that the concerns of this country have become too extensive to allow of the continuance of the exclusive privileges of the Bank of England. Those privileges operate in a most unfortun ate manner for the country.

weak rice water, voided without pain or ef

fort. iNausea, and vomiting of the same kind of liquid, generally follow; extreme prostration, shrinking of the surface, a change of voice from common to a strained, and shrill tone, coldness in the extremities, a sinking of the pulse, slight spasms at first, which rapidly increase until they become general over the whole body, limbs, &.c. which soon subside, and leave the person without pain, are among the most common symptoms which characterise the disease. Cause. The remote cause is not known, but it is generally supposed that something floats in the atmosphere peculiarly calculated to produce this peculiar disease, but as that is not important in founding our treatment of the disease, we avoid hazarding any hypothesis upon it at this time and proceed to give what is well ascertained to be the proximate cause. The immediate cause is a diminished, or an entire want of secretion of bile in the liver. This is manifested by the want of labor in the discharges. Wherever bile is mixed with the contents of the intestines, the evacuations will bo colored yellow, green or dark. It is a well known fact, that the nutriment is not fitted for absorption until it is mixed with the bile from the liver; and when that ceases to be formed and mixed with the contents of the alimentary ca

nal, inordinate discharges must be the result. The mouths of the absorbant vessels refuse to take up the nutriment till bile is added to excito their action, hence, like any foreign substance, the contents are discharged. The entire want of absorption accounts for the sudden prostration, shrinking of the surface, coldness of the extremities, diminished circulation and loss of the pulse; for by absorption of nutriment from the intestines, the blood is supplied, and by the blood the whole body is nourished. Treatment. The first indication of cure, is the restoration of the lost action of the liver. This is to be done by giving doses of calomel in such manner as to act most readily on the liver. In most cases, however, the purging is so considerable, that the calomel would pass off before it would exert its influence on that gland, hence opium should be combined with it in such proportion as to cause it to bo retained for several hours in the stomach. The proportions and times of repetition, must be judged of by the physicians, which the violence and nature of the attack will best point out. The object to be desired is, to check the discharges until the liver begins to secrete bile, when the discharges will assume a dark color, and a thick consistence resembling tar. This kind of discharge is a favorable symptom, and argues a speedy recovery. It shows clearlv, that the liver has begun its functions, though yet in a diseased state.

We can positively assert that no case of

Cholera ever did, or ever will occur so suddenly, as not to give time for successful medical treatment. Every case of looseness of the bowels, where the discharges are nearly colorless, may be regarded as cases

of Cholera, and if not treated properly, and in due time, will terminate in death. The dose of calomel and opium which has been found most successful in our treatment of the disease, is a half grain of opium with about 20 grains of calomel, repeated every two hours, till the discharge from the bowels is arrested; it should then be discontinued for a few hours, and the symptoms narrowly watched; and if when the discharges shall again appear changed in color and consistence, it will be known that a change has been produced in the secretions of the liver, and the disease changed in its nature. We view every case of Cholera perfectly under the control of medicine, and hence, every case which proves fatal, is owing to the neglect of the patient, or want of skill in his physician. This disease will no longer be such a terror to the world, when phvs'cians treat it right in i?s first stage. We submit the above as a few practical remarks for the benefit of the public, and not as has been the case with nine-tenths of those who have written on the disease, to show forth some new, sr:d mysterious theerv. When medical men become rational, and

Extract of a letter from Kent: "I have been out with the posse in the open bay, losing three nights' sleep, chasing the Philadelphia and Jersey oyster-boats, and capturing six out of nine sail and schooners and sloops. One of the former we boarded and carried in style, chasing her in an open batteau about three miles from Swan Point, near to Kent Island. With what we took before, we have in all ten vessels, stript and anchored, above our bridge. The crews are as rascally a looking set of fellows as the world can show; and it keeps our town agitated, though guarded whilst they remain here. We hear to-day that the Queen Anne's Sheriffs posse are about moving to sweep around Kent Island."

ted public character, Austy Jackson. She was quite out of her mind during her last moments, talking very incoherently, and occasionally singing. " knoii) a Bank" A number of Royal Arch and other sympilhising friends stood by her bed side, but could not administer much comfort to the old sinner, being greatly in want of it themselves. Her remains, which were much mortified just before her death, were handed over to an old hag called Aunty Mason, to do what she pleased with them. She received them with her head turned away, and her finger on her nose. Much of Aunty Jackson's moneyhas lately passed into the hands of the Jacksonians. Her claim on old Mother Bank was given to Aunty Mason. Captain Ross. During the first American war, Captain Ross of the British Army, made an engagement with ajyoung lady in England, which her parents refused to ratify. Honor and duty compelled him to go to America, and the object of his affections was resolved to follow him. She departed in men's clothes, and just arrived at the scene of war time enough to lenrn that .i

sanguinary skirmish had taken place between the savages and a detachment commanded by the object of her search. She flew to the field of battle, found it strewed with dead bodies, in the midst of which she perceived the form of Captain Ross. She instantly caught him in her arms and thought she felt his heart beat. She discovered he was wounded, and she endeavored to staunch the wound, which was yet bleeding, and for some time she applied her lips to it and sucked it. This remedy well known but seldom resorted to, insensibly restored him to life. In the mean time she feared, by making herself known, she might cause an emotion to her lover, which might be attended with certain danger. She therefore disguised her complexion and her features, as she liad already disguised her sex, and with unremitting care, nursed and attended him for forty days: at the end of which, perfectly assured of his restoration to health, she made herself known to him, who during his long indisposition had never ceased to speak of her, and express the regret he felt, that ere ho quit this world he should not have the satisfaction of being united to her he so fondly loved. It is not easy to describe the joy of the lovers in a meeting so unhoped for. They departed together for Philadelphia, where they ratified their vows of eternal affection at the altar. But scarcely had they tasted the cup of felicity, when a languor, that no medical art could heal, attacked the svstem and threatened the existence of Mrs. Ross. It was soon known that her husband had been wounded

with a poisoned arrow, and that sucking the wound she had imbibed the venom, which by degrees had changed the whole mass of

blood into an impoisoned state. Capt. Ross could net survive this last cruel stroke ; he died the victim of despair, at seeing the frustration of his hopes, destroyed in her, who had perished in restoring him to life. He expired at Johnstown, in the spring of 1778. Mrs. Ross supported herself after the loss of her husband, by the certain hope of soon following him. But she had again fortitude to cross the Atlantic, to implore pardon of her parents, with whom .she languished a short time, and died at Hammersmith, in the month of July, aged 25 years. A monument is erected to her memory in Hammersmith church, recording this memorable event. American Anecdotes. The Oyster War. Our friends of the Eastern Shore, it would seem, have been obliged to levy war on the depredators on their Oyster beds the fishermen of Philadelphia and New Jersey. The latter unrestrained by the laws which have been enacted bv Maryland to secure to our own citizens the benefits of the oyster fisheries, hive become so bold and reckless of late, lint the posse ccmitatus of Maryland have been put into requisition, to restrain their

i unlicensed doinsra. It appears bv the fu-1-

iion will be decided for them.

Mr. Buchanan. Letters by the Cariolanus, from St. Pctcrsburgh, represent that our Minister, Mr. Buchanan, is treated with marked distinction by the Court and the people. A letter from a gentleman attached to the American legation, at St. Petersburgh, says "I am as comfortably fixed in this city as I ought to have expected; but still, the striking opposition which exists between tho political institutions and manners and customs of this country and those of our own happy land, will prevent me from ever becoming perfectly satisfied with my present situation. I feel that the happiest day I shall spend in this city, will be that on which I take my departure. But after all, the best mode of attaching an American to his country, is to afford him an opportunity of seeing and observing how superior are its institutions to those of all other nations."

Virginia. Tho celebrated Kernel Webb, of the Courier and Enquirer, having wrought himself into ecstacies at what he supposed the prospect of electing the Clay ticket in Virginia, through the means of tiro Jackson tickets in that state, receives the following "cold comfort,' from Mr. Pleasants of the Whig: 0-The Courier and Enquirer is too fast in reckoning upon the vote of Virginia for Clay, by reason of the split ticket. All we can reasonably hope to do here, is to present a powerful, united and intelligent minority; which will be entitled to be felt and respected, in curbing ulterior schemes.

Mr. Allen's majority over Duncan McArthur, we are told, is certainly 3d votes; a mistake had been made in Jackson county, by which Mr. Allen had been deprived of thirty-five votes that had actually been polled for him in that county. This we believe will prove rather a damper to some of the "Ebony" gentry of this county, that have sought with so much rancour to overturn the election. We are fully convinced that more illegal votes have been given in this county for Mr. McArthur than was given for Major Allen ; and yet some of our choice spirits, have undertaken to nullify enough votes to give their candidate a scat in Congress. But let them proceed in their mad attempts to trample on the right of suffrage; perhaps some of them may yet find "it hard for tii cm to kick against the pricks." Washington, Ohio, Herald.

Cholera and Quaccry. A fact. Some years since, a notorious quack was sentenced to four years imprisonment in New Jersey, for steaming a young woman to death, in order to cure the head ache; and tho most inveterate slanderers of the healing art, will not dare to assert he could have applied a more effectual rcmcdv. A few weeks

j since, a young gentleman of this city who

remembered the occurrence, bein" in Montreal, was one morning perambulating the street, where he observed a dashing cholera placard over a door, setting fortli in very facinating characters of red and blue, that the celebrated Doctor had returned from a tour through Europe, where he had made the treatment of the cholera his peculiar study; and that nearly all his endeavors to eradicate that complaint had proved successful. Prefixed to this announcement was a list of credentials, cures, letters of thanks, and in fact every thing that was likely to pick the money out of a credulous man's pocket. While the gentleman was yet reading he observed a vinegar-visaged looking personage about to enter the door, whom he recognized as the quack that had been imprisoned in Jersey, and whose period of confinement had only lately expired. He at once accosted him, "and after some hesitation, learned that he was the identical Esculapiusof the placard, with, at the same

time, an humble solicitation that the wntle-

man would not ruin his trade by exposing'

The opposition have affected to treat as lies the asseverations of many respectable papers, that bribes were offered by the friends of the bank for votes. The following will, we think, show that there was good grounds for the charge: From the Pennsyhanian. BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. Immediately after the late ward elections, we stated that a poor man, by the name of James Owens, had been ollered a bribe of twenty dollars for his vote, by the corrupt coalition party. The subjoined afh'divit, confirmatory of the fact, is handed us for publication. Owens was known to be an honest man, and was generally entrusted by his party with the distribution of circulars or hand-bills. This may account for the base

ness of the temptation offered the poor but conscientious man. AFFIDAVIT OF JAMF5 OWENS. About three da vs he fore the htc election, an individual came to me in Pino ward, and commenced a conversation on political subjects. I was well acquainted with the person, and abstain from mentioning his name for certain reasons, which will only be removed by the necessity of self-defence. Ho assured me that he was authorized to make the olfer, and tender me twenty dol

lars for my vote in favor of tho Anti-Jackson

ticket.
