FOR CONGRESS, SECOND DISTRICT. CYRUS L. DUNHAM 7 OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. Odd Fellows' Celebration. A grand celebration of this Order takes place to-day in New York, at which members from all parts of the Union are expected to be present. The New York papers say it will exceed anything of the kind that has ever taken place on this continent. (gj- The Falcon sailed from New York on the 26th uh., taking 40,000 and 77 passengeis. Among the latter isF. P. Tracey, of Massachusetts, bearer of despatches to the United States' officers at San Francisco. Swindling the Bank. The Cadiz (O.) Sentinel learns that a Dr. Crawford, residing in Bloomfield, Jefferson county, in that State, drew from different banks, upon forged paper, money to the amount of $B,000, which he has managed to slope with to parts unknown. He is described as a very illiterate person, being hardly able to write his own name. A silver pitcher was presented to George Crawford, late Post-master at Cincinnati, by his assistants and clerks, on his retiring from the office. The pitcher is described as a beautiful and valuable one. 07 At a meeting of the citizens of Trimble county , Kentucky , held at the courthouse in the town of Bedford, without any distinction of party, John Roberts, Esq., a Whig, offered a resolution requesting Hon. Henry Clay to resign his seat in the United States Senate. The request is made on account of Mr. Clay's published opinions upon the question of slavery. 0:7" We learn from the Brookville American that Messrs. Wright and Matson are canvassing the State very pleasantly together. They ride, eat, and sleep together nothing personal or unpleasant occurring to mar their kind feelings toward each other. Their arrangements are, for each to speak one hour, and then to close with a half hour's speech from each. O The new Odd Fellows' Hall at Fatriot will be dedicated on Wednesday next. The Rev. Mr. Jewell, of the Universalis! Church, delivers an oration, and Mr. Isaac H. Taylor, of ihis city, acts as Marshal on the occasion. O" We give place to-day to a short but very flattering notice of our Daily, by & merchant of this city. The same opinion has been expressed to us by quite a number of our business men. We only hope to continue to merit such favorable opinions. IT The Democrats of Dearborn county have nominated Richard D. Slater for Senator, and Daniel Conavvay, jr., and J. F. Waikms for Representative. Slater has been a member of the lower house of the Legislature some two or three times, and always made a good Representative. We are really glad to see him put in nomination for Senator, for he will make a good one. Conaway is a new man, but has tiie qualifications for a good member. We are unacquainted with Mr. Watkins. i! is hardly necessary for us to add, that the ticket is certain to be elected. JjrTho Whigs of Ohio and Switzerland ! counties have nominated Scott Caller for Senator, and John Tail, jr. and jonn Wri.-ht for Representatives. It is a uri-, i O -'Wv.. that will be very easily beaten. (57- We now have some assurance that Summer designs visiting us. Yesterday was comfortably warm, and to-day is more so. A gentle breeze has made it pleasant in the ehade, but those who are exposed to the sun must stand the heat. Cr"A gorgt-ous cabin, on the Eastern plan, is to be put on the new Wisconsin. QrA London paper says that cleanliness is the very vaccination of cholera.

very late from mulberry street;

; By Special Underground Express. Astounding Disclosure I Ittirnnilons Discoveries i Ac. Ac. By an enormous expenditure, and the j exercise of almost superhuman efforts, we I are in receipt, at half-past six o'clock this morning, of the Madison Banner, which contains the following highly important intelligence. j Incredible as the news may appear at j the first glance,, it 15, doubtless, correct, j ; even the statement that the daily newspa- j ! per establishment on that street "is not to j j he beaten." Tnis statement may be ex-j plained by the fact that it a'ready has been j badly beaten, in point of giving early in telligence, good appearance, ccc, Arc. but we don't waai to brag. Here's the extract : "Mt lbeery Street- The business and appearance of this 6treet, since the commencement of the new hotel, has been improving very rapidly. It now bids fair to become the "Chestnut" street of our city. It has already the best hotels in the place the best china and queensware store to be found any where within fifty miles three splendid new wholesale dry goods stores- a large coach manufactory two extensive tinning and stove establishments a large tobacco and cigar factory beside a new 6tove foundry two fancy stone and marble shops chair and bedstead factories several fashionable barber shops two extensive iron stores the best livery stable in all Hoosierdom several first-rate groceries and fashionable tailors shops a daily newspaper establishment n t to be beaten and some of the prettiest girls in all creation." 07-The steamer Peytona, from New Orleans, arrived at Louisville on Friday night. She had no sickness during the trip. f7From the Pittsburgh Journal of the 29th ult., we learn that that city is entirely free from all appearance of cholera. fjT-The practice of drugging milk is getting common in Cincinnati. For the Courier. Messrs Editors: A 6hort time since, business call ed me to a neighboring town in this State. I found at the Hotel where I stopped, a copy of the Madison Daily Courier, and while I was looking over it an old acquaintance stepped up and remarked that Madison must be progressing indeed, if she could sustain such a paper. He said he found that the Courier always contained the latest Telegraphic news, as well as the details received through the papers; had full reports of receipts of merchandize by the river, market reports, Scc, which gave it the appearance of being printed in a city of twenty thousand inhabitants. I felt nattered by his remarks, for I considered it a compliment to our city as much as to your paper; and although I am opposed to you in politics, my prejudices are not so strong as to have me withhold an expression of my own opinion, which is that your paper is deserving of all that wassaid in its behalf. I also thought it my duty to let you know that your efforts to furnish Madison with a good daily paper are appreciated. Hoping that you will meet with that encouragement which your industry and enterprise deserves, I sign myself your well wisher and an old citizen of MADISON. Cholera at Lexington From six o'clock on Tuesday evening until the same hour on Wednesday evening, there were fourteen new cases of cholera at the Asylum, and six deaths ail, or nearly all, among the female inmates. We did not learu whether the six deaths were all from the new cases on Wednesday, or a portion of them from old cases. Up to the time of writing this (Thursday, 12 o'clock), we have heard of no new case since Wednesday evening. The malady is still confined to the Asylum, and the attacks to the inmates there, with the exception of Mr. Weaver, who was in bad health some time before his death. We visited the Asylum yesterday evening at four o'clock, and were gratified to learn that there had been but two slight cases of cholera up to that time from the previous night. Lexington Atlas, Friday. Maryland CRors. Exchanges from the State of Maryland give very unfavorable accounts of the present appearance of the crops. We make the following extracts: "The rly and worm are injuring the wheat Cr0P t0 a considerable extent in this county. e have, however, seen fome very fine samples of wheat from the fields of ex-Governor Stevens and James rice' "I- wniCh stQl nve leel S! inches, and well headed." "From all quarters of the county complaints come up of the injury to the growing wheat from the fly." D We ought not to make promises lightly, that is without reflection; but when we have promised, we ought scrupulously keep our word. 07" IQ IilS, the price of a steamboat passage between this city and New Orleans was $130 now it U $15. Between this city and Pittsburgh it was $30-now it is $5. The time between New Orleans and this was twenty-eight running days now t 13 oftes-tiines less than six .Cin Tiroes-

Frcm 'he. Ner Origan t'irayun. LATER FROM MEXICO AND CALIFORNIA. By the British steamer which arrived in Mobile Bay on Monday, on her return passage from Vera Cruz, we received El Arco Iris of that port

to the 16th inst., and the Tampico Noticioso to 12th inst. An article from El Monitor Republicano copied into El Arco Iris of the 16th inst., states that according to the Alta California, a paper published in San Francisco, the municipal authorities of the principal towns in that territory had presented to Gov. Smith and Com. Jones a memorial on the state affairs under their Provisional Government, invoking the support and approval of those officers respectively, in reference to the measures adopted by them for the preservation of good order, both in a political and commercial point of view. Meanwhile the legislative assembly of the district of San Francisco had prepared for the consideration of the Governor and Commodore a statement of the meaus they have adopted for the protection of life, liberty and property among their fellow citizens. It was also resolved that on the 1st of August next delegates were to meet at Monterey to form a Con stitution for California, preparatory to her admission into the confederacy as a sovereign State. The Alta California contains an advertisement announcing that a weekly paper was about to be established in the city of Sacramento, to be called the "Placer Times." This periodical will furnish exact accounts, and as frequently as possible, of all that is interesting in relation to the placers. The above named city of Sacramento is increasing prodigiously; the houses newly constructed are numerous and elegant. In San Francisco a post office has been established, and it was expected that before long branches would be required at all other points of that free, rich and fruitful country by the authorities, who had already felt the want of them. El Monitor States that by the papers at hand, there were in the port of San Francisco at the latest dates about eighty vessels of every species of rig, and the number was increasing almost daily by fresh arrivals. In the Alta California of the 29th of March, savs the Republicano, we find the following: "This city (San Francisco) was in a state of agitation during the whole of last week, in consequence of reports current that the troops were preparing to coerce the people, and that General Smith had disapproved the measures adopted by the legislative assembly of the district. The latter body had removed the alcaldes and the ayuntamieuto and appointed justices of the peace and police magistrates in their stead. This had caused altercations between those who went out of office and those by whom they were succeeded." The complicated state in which all the branches of public government are now placed is attributed by the Alta California to the ill advised measures of Col. Mason, the late Governor of California. That paper says: "Within the last few days we have seen a lump of gold which was found in the river Stanislaus. It was brought from Stockton by Mr. Weber, and appears to be pure gold, weighing Trf ounces, which, at $16 an ounce, amounts to $1,24S. A fine day's work for one man! The river Stanislaus is a tributary of the Rio San Joaquin, and lies southeast of San Francisco, not far from that city. Eds. Tic El Monitor states that private letters dated San ! Francisco, the 11th April, have reached the city j of Mexico, announcing that large parties (cara vans,) were daily leaving en route for the placer. O The New Orleans Picayune, of the evening of the 27th, gives us the following information in regard to the overflow and the Crevasse: The Crevasse. Our accounts from the crevasse this morning are decidedly encouraging. The works are progressing with as much rapidity as can be expected, and Capt. Grant is now sanguine of succeeding in closing the breach in a few days. We have seen a letter from Compton, who was sent up a few days since to attend to the sick, which says that the work goes bravely on, and that success is now considered certain . The letter, which was dated at 6 o'clock last evening, expresses the opinion that the piling will be completed to-day. The Overflow. The water, we are pained to say, is still on the rise, although its encroachments are not so rapid as they have heretofore been. Several streets are now covered down to Carondelet street, and the demand for skiffs is rapidly increasing. The centre of Baronne street, through which the railroad runs, being considerably elevated, remains dry, and at the intersection of Common street it presents the appearance of a regular ferry landing. A crowd of persons is always collected at this point, and some half doztn skiffs are generally to be seen, waiting for passengers. The distress upon the poor is on the increase, and we are happy to see that the relief committees appointed on Tuesday evening last are active in their exertions to obtain means to afford aid to such as stand in need. The committee on j the First Municipality yesterday distributes upj wards of $400 and we presume a stiil larger sura I has been collected and distributed in our own municipality.

REPORTED FOR THE MADISON DAILY COURIER. CINCINNATI MARKETS. Cincinnati, June 4 I P. MFlour. The market is firm at '4. Grain Sa!s of 5."0 bushels Wheat at bOc. Bacon. Sales of Sides at c. Provisions have Wen quiet t-ince the arrival of ! the Foreign n?ws. Whisky. Market firm at I5'4c. i The niaiiboat for Louisville will not leave until j four o'clock this afternoon. FIRE IN CLEVELAND. Cleveland, J une 1st. The warehouse of Barney & Waring, contaimng ten thousand bushels of wheat and five thousand bushels of corn, was destroyed by fire i to-dav. The building was valued at "i to OOO which is fullv insured. Thi rrn u nSv ' liallv covered by insurance. FROM ST. LOUIS. St. Louis, June 1st. Interments yesterday, 27; sixteen of which died of cholera, and nine of other diseases: The conclusion of Mr. Benton's address has been published. He is iu favor of the Wiimot . proviso, and says it is the Jetfersonian doctrine The committee appointed to enquire into the oause of the explosion of the San Francisco have reported. The engineer is fully exonerated, and the explosion is attributed to a defect in the machinery. FROM PITTSBURGH" June 2, P. M. The markets are dull and unchanged. Weather pleasant. River falling with five feet water in the channel. , .A JvLU. New York, June 2d, 12 M. The foreign ' news has rather a favorable effect on the flour market and dealers are inclined to hold offi until private letters come to hand. There is no marked u rr-, ... change in prices. The gram market has not as 1 . ,r . 11 e - . y et been anrcled bv the foreign news. N othmsr j 0 0 done to-diy in Provisions. Business in Cotton is suspended, dealers awaiting private letters. There was more buoyancy, and consequently higher prices, and more speculations at the stock board to-day. This animation and the upward tendency sufficiently attested the general favor J with which the news by the steamer was regarded. Government securities and State Stocks were in good request at firm prices. ----- HEALTH OF ST. LOUIS.—The New Era of Monday evening says: But three Sextons had reported to the Register up to the hour of noon to-day; but taking these as a fair criterion, there is no doubt but the health of the city is improving. In conversation with an intelligent physician this morning, we were informed that the cholera is decreasing, and is of a milder form and yields more readily to treatment. Bilious attacks are quite common, however, and when treated in the usual way often terminate fatally in something resembling cholera. ----- FROM THE PLAINS.— The St. Louis Union, of Tuesday, in announcing the arrival of Mr. A. B. Paul from the Plains, says he was proceeding on his way with a party to California, and had travelled some 200 miles from Independence before he set out on his return. He states that as far as his observation went, there is every appearance, of an abundance of grass on the Plains. The emigrants generally were getting along very finely. There is some cases of sickness, a number of which terminate fatally, though the mortality is not so great as the exaggerated accounts we have had heretofore would make it appear. ----- THE BANK OF MASSILON.—The brokers in the employ of the State Banks are paying their res- pects to the Massilon Bank at the rate of from five to ten thousand dollars daily. Its charter expires in about a year. We have no doubt that it will break before many months. The State Banks nre pursuing the old Banks with venom and bitterness, determined to break them if possible.—Seneca Advertiser. Is that one of the "chartered privileges" of the State Banks? or is it the legitimate business of the concern?—Dayton Empire. Both! The Banks claim a "charter large as any wind to" burst up whm they please, arid then, burst up themselves : The "legitimate business of the concern" is to remove all rivals, get ail it can, and keep all it gets. Ohio Statesman. ----->The Bedford Herald administers the following piece of consolation to its whig brethren in this district: ' The Whigs of the New Albany District have nominated W.M. Dunn, Esq., of Mddion, to run for Congress against the best democratic nominee w hich could have been made, to-wit: C.L.Danham, Esq., of Salem. Mr. Dana will have hi3 hands full. Mr. Dunham's very popular manners, united with his dedided abilities as a sfump speaker, make him a formidable cornpeLtor, had he even a political majority against him in the district; but, when to these qualifications is added a Cass majority of some 700 in his favor, we set down that any Whig Las little nerve to enter the hts against him. But success to whiggery everywhere, and especially against one who will prove as troublesome a customer to the vh:g parly as Mr. Dunham will, if elected."
