DUNHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. -. - . ?. , . i ii . .... . . . .. . . Covgeessional Canvass. The candidates for Congress, in this district, will address their fellow-citizens at the following times and places: Hon. Jesse Whi'.comb's, on Thursday, Ma-31 ; Scipio, on Friday, June 1; Vernon, on Saturday, June 2; Speaking will commence at 1 o'clock. P. M. (V-Oiir telegraphic reports to-day are very full and complete. In the way of late news, the little city of Madison keeps pace with Cincinnati and Louisville ; and the little Madison Courier is not behind any of the blanket sheets of those cities. Keep it in mind that the Courier, in point of news items, is ahead of any other paper distributed in this city, fiom four to thirty hours. O Persons who came from Cincinnati yesterday inform us that the cholera is again on the increase in that city. This is the result of neglecting the proper sanitary measures. Will our citizens and our City Council please take warning by this. D"" Wonder if some of our enterprising citizens had not better stop building, lest the smell of lime would be unpleasant to some of the delicate nostrils in this city. (JVe met Capt. Jim Wright and Mr. John Markley in the street this morning;. They tell us that the Belle is fixed up in apple-pie order everything being safe and sound, and nice and clean. The Belle leaves for Cincinnati to-day, on the arrival of the cars; and those who take passage on her wll have the pleasure of traveling on a very nice boat and with gentlemanly officers. QT" It is announced in the Baltimore American, that Col. C. T. J. Arionhas been appointed Post-master at this city. Rolla was quite lively this morning, considering that his head has been chopped off. O Those old shanties on the corner ot West and Main-Cross streets are to be removed on Monday next, and a fine brick building will be speedily erected on that comer. 07 The Quincy Stone Bank, Quincy, Mass., was recently robbed. The account does not state whether the thief look whetstones, grindstones, or tombstones. (7-Two or three attempts have been made to set fire to portions of St. Louis, pince the great conflagration. They were all failures, however. fjj There is but very little sickness on trie boats coming irom .ew urieans at this time. c-rme ot trie ooats recently up have had no sickness whatever. dZTlt is supposed that two-thirds of the human family, or six hundred millions, are worshipers of idols, and the balance arc equally divided between dolls and dollars. O Camphor cigars, a new contrivance ol the Paris chemists, have been imported into Baltimore, and are said to be a preventive against cholera. iy- Norfolk Herald says that city is soon to be lighted with gas generated from rosin, according to the patented improvement introduced within the last two or three years by the late F, B. Coston, of the U. S. Navy. v. nu 1. 1 r. a iiahi.tiusi.. i iiv iuaru ot Health in Baltimore reported two new c ases cf cholera in that city on the 25th ult., and one death. Fire at Peokia. An attempt was made to fire the city cf Feoria (III.), on the night of the 23d ult. Buildings in different portions of the city were fired simultaneously , but no great loss was sustained. 0The Commodore Terry, it is expected, will arrive from New Orleans to-morrow. 0lt is said that Louisville is perfectly health? now.

IirWe yesterday complained that tlx- j suggestions of the Council had not been j carried out, in regard to the distribution j of lime throughout the city. We have j since learned, upon good authority, that ": a large quantity of lime was purchased, j and that the Marshal commenced, with ! horse and cart, to distribute it; that, in many instances he was ordered off, and j forbid placing it about premises; that many ! of those who were able would not pay j

for it, and some who were not able refused to receive it gratuitously. The objection of eome of these persons wa5, that (key did not like the smell of lime! Oh, what delicate nostrils! wliat sensitive nerves! The objection of others, who profess to be scientific, and "know a thing or two," was, that lime teas not a disinfectent! Oh, what intelligence! what learning, and what wisdom! But, the delicate olfactory organs of those who prefer a most horrid stench to the smell of lime, or the ignorance of those who would be thought wise, should not be the means of bringing a scourge upon the city. The Council has the power to enact laws for the public weal, and to enforce them; and they are responsible for any failure or neglect in taking proper steps to preserve the health of the city. All experience has proven that lime has rendered signal aid in mitigating the violence of cholera, and the Council is under the most impeiative obligations to distribute it throughout the sity,even though it may offend the nostril of the fastidious, or run counter to the opinions of the self-styled intelligence of a few counterfeit scientific?. A Discovery. The Cincinnati Nonpareil has found out a fact which nobody else ever dreamed of namely : "That crimes aie greatly on the decrease in this country.1' 0 It is a fact not generally known, that within the last year or two steps have been taken at the South, with a view to supply the home market with domestic flour. Several large flourishing establishments have beeu put in operation in the States of Georgia and Alabama, by which good merchantable flour is produced from Southern grain. 1LT The first steamboat called the Gen. Pike, was built thirty-one years ago, and was torn up in 1823, after five years' service. She was a stern-wheel boat, with machinery, cabin, &c, in the hold. Ground Coffee. An exchange says that much of the ground coffee sold by grocers is adulterated with burnt and ground corn. Planing Machines. There are thirteen planing machines in operation at Cincinnati, which furnish over six millions feet of tongued flooring boards yearly. ILTLate accounts from Yucatan say that the Yucatecoes have been victorious in an engagement, and taken from the Indians the important town of Bacalar. ET The cholera has been very fatal in the Lunatic Asylum, near Lexington, Ky. Killing Time. We have just remarked a man on the other side of Broadway, walking up pensively and alone, to whom the sudden acquisition of wealth has given the power and the inclination to "give up business," and to "do nothing" for the rest of his life. Ah! whether it be "the ton" or not, it is evidently the hardest work in the world to do nothing. We know of at least a baker's dozen of persons, in our town range of acquaintance, who are trying to "kill time," "kill time." How they will pray oneday for the life of the time they would now kill! Do you remember Charles Lamb's description! of his sensation on being emancipated from his daily labor at the India House? "I was passing from life to eternity. I wandered about, thinking I wws happy, but feeling I was not. When all is holiday there are no holidays." Think of this, thou man of sudden wealth; and if it shall so chance that thou hast been a tallow-chandler in thy day of usefulness, make a clause in the bill of sale that shall reserve to thee the right of still assisting at the "factory" on melting days. Knickerbocker. Sot'ND Apvice.

Pennsylvania State Stocks sold in London on the 16th at 80, which was the only sales of American stocks noticed in the papers. The chief demand for American securities is on German account. From the manufacturing districts there is a general complaint that goods sent away have little or no profit whatever. The market for cured provisions is abundantly supplied. Prices generally lower and receding. COTTON MARKET. Liverpool, May 19. The accounts per last New York steamer of the increased receipts of cotton in American ports was unexpected, and would have had the effect of depressing the market, had not accounts, received some time since, of the severe loss in the South and West had the effect to check depression. This kept the market steady during the week. Quotations were fair and same as when the Caledonia left. The week's transactions amount to 36,9 00 bales, including 6,000 bales on speculation, and 4,000 bales for export. Sales of 9,140 bales Upland at 3735; 15,000 bales Orleans at31';a!6; 11,140 bales Alabama and Mobile at 35(3)-iX. The imports for the week amount to 72,678 : bales. BREADSTUFFS, PROVISIONS &c.

As-yet the result is unknown. In Paris, none of the Socialists and nineteen moderators are elected. The French army had not entered Rome. The Italian question was being discussed by the French Assembly and by the Minitr. It was passed by thirty eight majority. Gen. Oudinott, it seems from the debate, had no instructions to enter Rome. He was expected to remain at Civitia Vecchia, and to march only in case that it was absolutely necessary. The Ministry, however, are said to be divided upon this subject. It is said that the French Government has written to London, St. Petersburgh, Berlin and Vienna, deploring the interference of Russia in German affairs, and stating that they will endeavor to null it by diplomatic means. In case of failure, they will then apply to the Assembly for advice. M. Fancher, Minister of the Interior, has resigned. It is rumored that other Ministers will " " & " The Hungarians continue successful, and are within four day9' march of Vienna, where the Russians are hastening. Sicily is again in a state of insurrection. The Danes have suffered another defeat, and it is stated that Denmark has accepted the proffered mediation of England. The Bill in relation to the Canadian outbreaks has been defeated in the British Parliament, and Lord Elgin has been sustained. It is expected that a number of amendments will be offered to the Navigation Bill, w hich may materially change it, if not prevent its passage. There have been renewed disturbances in various parts of Germany. At Frankfort revolutionary movements were mere and more dreaded. HEALTH OF CINCINNATI. Cincinnati, June 2, P. M.

The market is firm at 3,51J,. Oats. Ara selling at 27c a 2Sc. Provisions. No sales, the Foreign news beinz generally considered unfavorable. Whisky. Demand for at 15 I-4c. UTr" The Louisiana Courier, in referring to the wholesale removals which has taken place in New Orleans, makes the following commentary upon j democratic proscription and whig moderation: i 'When Mr. Prieur (democrat) was appointed , Collector, about four years ago, not one individual holding a place in the Custom House was dismissed, although many of them were whigs, and some of them very bitter ones. The only removals (about two or three) he made were of democrats, and for misconduct. On Saturday j last, the last day of his term, the number of ! weighers, measurers, markers, guagers, inspecj tors and messengers, was 70 of whom 50 are , democrats, and 29 whigs. In these numbers are j not included the clerks or the deputies of the Collector, Naval Officer, and Sarveyor. This morning Colonel Teters (whig) entered into office as chief of the Custom House, and he signalized the commencement of his career by knocking off the heads of thirty-four inspectors and eicht or ten clerks. Some of the individuals thus unceremoniously turned adrift, are among the most truly estimable men in the community men who were serving their country in the tented field, while Col. Peters was running after the British drums and colors ia Canada, shouting "Hurrah for King George!" But perhaps this is the crime of these venerable men, for which they are deprived of their livelihood by Col. Peters, who took out naturalization papers some years ago expressly, as he avowed, and for no other purpose, than to give a vote against Old Hickory! Besides thoe venerable men here alluded to, there are many among the dismissed who have large families upon their hands, and to whom their pay from the Custom House was the only means of support. Home can never be transferred, never repeated in the experience of an individual. The place consecrated on parental leve by the innorence : and sports of childhood, is the only home of the ; human heart. There is no destruction worse than to overprais a man; for if his worth prove short of what report doth speak of him, his own actions are ever giving the lie to his honor. Men are like bugles; the more brass they contain, the further you can hear them. Ladies are like violets, the more modest and retiring they appear, the better you lore them.

The Wisconsin Wheat Crop. We learn from every county in the State that the wheat croc looks uncommonly vigorous ana healthy. Tht remark is made by the frrmer that it Beyer promised better; and it is estimated that at !eat one-third and perhaps one-half more wheat will be gathered in Wisconsin during the coming summer than in any previous s?acn. Milwaukee Winconsin, Miy 9. Lemons have been preserved fresh and juicy, da ring three of the warmest months in the year, by keeping them tn a closely covered stone jar ' placed in an ice house. Each lemon should be wrapped separately in a paper, and once in ten or twelve days, taken out, wiped dry, and wrapped up again in new paper. U 'Why don't you wheel that barrow of coal, Ned" said a miner to one of his sons. 'It is cot a very hard job; there is an inclined plana j to relieve you. j "Ah!' replied Ned, who had more relish for j wit than work, 'the plane may be inclined, but ' hang me if I am.
