CYRUS L. DUNHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTT. The additional items of foreign news j published by us yesterday, did no; reach ; here yesterday by either the Cincinnati or j Louisville papers. We have been a day 1 and a half ahead of those papers in fur- j rushing our citizens with the Europa's j novs throughout : First, the markets; then. the general nummary, and then t!ie addi tional particulars. River Imfcrts. We had thought that Tve were understood upon the subject of publishing "River Imports," but it eeems that we are mistaken, as we have heard nf persons who complained because their names were omitted in the list o, con- ; eignees. Wo now repeat, that we regard . those reports as being as good as an advertisement, and v:e tcill not advertise grai i rr- i in. And tins is not ail. i nose rrpuru e , collected with no little labor and loss of! time, and we cannot afford to hunt up I what people have to sell, and then pub-J hsh it for nothing. Nor do we expect J other people to pay us something for no- j thine We always want to tender the j yuid pro quo. It would be a great deal easier and a j;reat deal cheaper for us to sit down in the office, and cut from ot:r exchanges sufficient matter to fill up a specified number of columns in the paper. By eo doing, we could save some ten dollars a week in the uem of journeymen's wages alone, to say nothing of the waste of shoe leather and wearing out the joints ot our legs, in traveling to and from the river, and elsewhere, to get items. Add to this our telegraphic bill, and in one year we will have expended on one solitary column of this paper, enough money to purchase a good house and lot in this city and tbi- too, j over and above what would be necessary J to fill that column with gleanings from our exchanges, and news from one to two days behind the time we now give it. Eut, we will not print a paper on any such a plan of economy. Whenever we have to change from our present course, we will discontinue the Daily altogether. There is no danger of that, however, very soon. We are willing to bestow labor and money upon the paper to make it what it should be; but we are unwilling to ad vertigo for nothing, and will not do it. We beg no patronage from any body, yet we are always willing and happy to receive it, just as a mechanic or merchant is willing to dispose of his wares or merchandize. Nor do we desire to force any person into trading with us. Unless they think that they can receive a corresponding benefit for the expense, we do not want them to incur it as a matter of charily to us. We do not yet consider ourselves objects of charity. But, at the same time they must not understand that we possess the ability to scatter with profuse hand favors upon them. In our river imports we give the names of the regular customers of the office as a matter of courtesy to them. If it benefits them, we are glad of it, because it is only reciprocating a favor. (gjr The Congressional contest appears to be waxing warm in the Laporte district, represented in the last Congress by Mr. Cathcart. Dr. Fitch is the democratic candidate and Mr. Williamson Wright is the whig candidate. No doubt but the Doctor 'tcill administer a bitter rill to Mr. Wright en the first Monday in August next. -fjO A young man by the name of John Hall, who was employed in Farnsucrth Honore's found ery, had his arm caught in the machinery, a little before noon to4ay. and was badlv hurt. The arm was broken, and the t'esh was badly cut. His wounds were dressed by Dr. Holcombe. and it is thought that no permanent injury will j esull from it. OtrMaysville is n.id to be aga;n free :rei cho'era.

07" The Eastern papers are beginning to notice the appearance of hydrophobia among the dog?. Several persons have already been bitten by the rabid animals. Tnere is no necessity whatever for letting dogs run at large in towns, and we hope that our Council will have thai nuisance abated in our city. Alluding to the same suhject, the Cincinnati Enquirer has the following, which we heartily endorse: "Everybody who thinks it necessary to keep a deg iu a large city, should be comptl cd to keep the animal on his own premises; and every Cog found at large and u nmuzzled, should be killed, beside a fine being inflicted upon the owner. If, when a dog in a city goes rnad, he would bite nobody but h;s owner, it would not be eo bud; for, if they hive the worthless curs about them, they are the ones who should suffer, if anybody. But, unfortunately, those too often puff-r, who look upon all dogs running at Urge as so many nuisances. We think the Council should pas some stringent ordinance on the subject, to cornpel persons owning dogs to keep them out of the street, or to keep them muzzled." $3" The Whigs of Vermilion county recently held thpir convention to nominate candidates for county officers. The convention gave an expression of its choice for a Congressional candidate, which resulted in giving to E. W. McGaughey twenty-one votes, and K. W. Thompson two votes. Judge Coffm will be an independent Whig candidate for Congress in the same district.

----->The work of rebuilding at St. Louis is giving employment to immense numbers of mechanics. Bricklayers, especially, are in great demand; for, we perceive that employers are advertising in Pittsburgh papers for two hundred and fifty men, and offer $2 50 per day, with constant work. ----- ----->We promised that we would report all cholera that occurred in this city. We now regret to announce that the cholera is amongst us, and from the best information we can get some seven or eight cases have occurred since last evening. In the same time there have been three deaths from cholera. It is proper to state that all these cases have occurred in exposed or damp situations. Cleanliness must be observed, and care must be used both in diet and clothing. Avoid night air, and all unnecessary exposure; and send promptly lor a physician on the first appearance of the disease. ----- ----->The principal Eastern railroads give the editors residing along their lines, cards which entitle them to travel free whenever and wherever they desire to go. It is one of the few Eastern customs worthy of imitation in the West. ----- ----->It is said that the increase of cholera in Cincinnati during the past week, may be attributed, in a great measure, to the German celebration which was held in that vicinity on Sunday last. Most of those engaged in the celebration partook freely of native wine, and otherwise exposed themselves to cholera, by imprudent eating, &c. ----- ----->It is very probable that not a single Taylor man will be in the next Congress from Indiana. Julian, of Wayne county, an anti-Taylor, free soil whig, will probably be elected from Cale Smith's old district, and we think we have a chance for a democrat in the district recently represented by Dick Thompson. ----- ----->Deposites [sic] of California gold, as well as foreign gold and bullion, are being daily made at the Philadelphia Mint, most of which is re-appearing in the shape of gold dollars. ----- ----->We had another storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, last night; and as the weather is still warm, we may expect a repetition during this afternoon or evening. ----- ----->Johnson & Morton's planing machine and saw-mill, at Cincinnati, was destroyed by fire on Thursday morning. ----- ----->The citizens of Jeffersonville and Charleston, I[ndian]a., have subscribed $12,000 for the construction of a plank road between the two places. ----- ----->The seventeen year locusts have appeared in vast numbers in the vicinity of Pittsburgh, and are causing great destruction to vegetables. ----- ----->Four persons in Cincinnati, who spent Sunday last together in song singing and drinking native wine, were attacked with cholera on Wednesday, and all died. ----- FROM THE PLAINS.—The Platte (Mo.) Argus says that grass on the plains is as fine this spring as ever known. No difficulties on that account are likely to occur east of the mountains.

Bird, I have made the fol- j lowing brief synopsis of a letter from him, sent 1 to me for publication in the North-western Med ical and Surgical Journal, which, together with the few additional remarks which I have made, you will please publish, iu order that the members of the medical profession, and the public generally, may have the means of testing, and the 'benefits to be derived from what is supposed to be a newly-discovered remedy for the cholera. The facts stated in the letter referred to above, are briefly as follows: About sis months since, Dr. Bird and myself were led into a conversation cn the effect of atmospheric influences in producing epidemics, by reading an article from a German chemist in one j oi ourperioaicais.iuwnicniiwasconienaeainai j influenza depended upon the presence of ozont, j and that the severity and number of the attacks, as shown by chemical analysis, was always in proportion to the quantity of this substance in the atmosphere. Taking this statement in connection with the fact that cholera is generally preceded bv influenzas, as shown bv its historv. we are led to the conclusion that both diseases might be dependant upon the same influence, ! modified in degree according to the greater or ; n J fo i '"- u"l,irH l"e J

possessing the property of acting upon it in such a manner as to neutralize its influence In searching for facts to support this conclusion, it was found that cholera had never prevailed in the vicinity of sulphur springs, or in situations where this substance abounds; hence the conclusion, that sulphur might be, and probably is, the antidote for cholera. In one of our recent Medical Journals an article appeared, describing the manner of detecting n-one in the atmosphere, thus supphing the means of detecting vvnether or not it was present at the very time the cholera was beginning to m.,ke its appearance among us. ut. li.rd s experiments, as well as those marie subsequently oy himseh, and by Drs.

About a week since, Dr. Bird determined to try the effects of sulphur upon himself and others, troubled as nearly ail 1 have been, more or less, of late, with an uue;:sy sensation, slight pains, &ic, in the digestive organs. The result was entirely satisfactory so much so, that Dr. Bird came immediately to my office, and requested me, as a friend, to test its ..j ... uufc tu oaj, uunnLg others in regard to the ingredients used until facts should justify its public announcement as a discovery. The beneficial effect resulting from its use in my practice was such as to convince me at once of its utility in the class of cases described above. During the last few days, Drs. Eird, r., , , , , Biny, and myself, have continued to use this
