The Chancellor arrived at Louisville on Sunday, and had not a ringle case of eicknees during the trip. The Ivanlioe, which passed here on Saturday, Is, however, an exception. She had a good deal of sickness, and several deaths, on her trip up. This is accounted for in the fact that she had one hundred and thirty-one passengers in the cabin, and three hundred and fifty-one on deck. It '.s folly to expect health where neaily five hundred persons are crowded upon one steamboat for a number of days. O" Mr. G. V. Kimberly, of whom men lion was made yesterday as having been ) proscribed by Gen. Taylor, came down on the Madison Eelle last evening, and took the cars for Indianapolis this morning where he designs locating and engaging in the practice of medicine. We have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Mi. K.; but we could not help noticing the social and apparently friendly manner in which he was met by a number of the old citizens of Madison, and the kindly assistance which was rendered him in taking his family from ih boat to the cais. Most of these persons were Whigs, and men, too, who are not in the habit of vo'untarily associating with "unworthy or j mean" men. j 07- Through the politeness of Mr. J. F. D. Lanier, of this city, now in New York, we have been favored with a copy of a circular addressed to the holders of Indiana bonds, by Mr. James Collins, Jr., Agent of the State. This circular is issued in accordance with a jo.iU resolution passed at the last session of the Indiana L.-gi.-latur, asking that the payment oi the January interest on our State bonds nuv be v-csi-poned until som convenient time thereafter. The reasoa of this request is, that by our laws the State revenue is not paid into the State Tiebsury until February, and it is impossible to have it paid at an earlier day. The State hs, therefore, been driven to the necessity of makirg temporary loans of the Eanks to meet this interest." Mr. Collins asks that the time for paying the interest may be postponed until the second Monday in 31 arch, until the accumulating resources of the Stale will enable h-r to meet the January interest at trie time agreed upon between the State and her credr.ors.

07" The Louisville Courier copies our notice of the deaths from cholera at Bellevue, Ky., and save : "Why can't you keep equally well posted up in regard to cholera at home? We learn from good authority that there have been seven casei and four deathi from cholera (eo reported by your physicians) at Madison, since Friday."

If the Courier will look at cur paper of Saturday, it will be seen that we announced the existence of cholera in the very first number issued after the disease j made its appearance. For this we were severely censured by some of our physicians and other citizens, as we are told; but it matters not to us. We doubt the policy, to say nothing of the wrong committed, in concealing or trying to conceal any prevailing sickness. Let tho people know the worat that they may be prepared to guard against any threatened danger. ft-j-TheOdd Fellows had a grand meeting in New Yoik, on Monday of last week. The object was to mark, in some public manner, the completion and dedication of their splendid newly-erected Hall, a, the corner cf Centre and Grand streets. The procession is represented by the press to have been a grand affair. The streets all along the line were densely crowded with spectators, and the citizens generally appeared to take a deep interest in the celebration. . O There was a steamboat lying at our wharf this morning, called the "Storm." They must have been at a very great loss for a name when they adopted that, and particularly a3 the boat did not look like she was capable of kicking up much of a breeze.. Cholera. Two additional cases have come to our knowledge since our report of yesterday. One cf them was that of Mr. W. Driggs. who resided opposite the lower markethouse. He was attacked last evening, and died at an early hour this morning. The other is that of a German boy who resides with his parents in that part of the city known as Georgetown, and who has been employed as porter in the stove store of Messrs. Morns. He was attacked during b ' . J no nope oi ins recovery. There is a good deal of diarrhoea and some few cases of cholera morbus in the citv. The disease, at last . accounts, was increasing in both Cincinnati and St. Louis, it has also made its appearance in nearly all the cities and principal towns of the Eastern States. C7"An old lady by the name of "Aunty Bugg,'' has been enlightening the denizens in the regionsof the Wabash, upon various general subjects, through the medium of the Lafayette Couiier. In her last letter to that paper she branches off into politics, 0nd pays the following compliment to Col. Lane, the democratic candidate for Lieu-tenant-Governor. "Aunty BuggV statements as to the bravery of Col. Lane, and his kind n ess to his men, will find responses in the hearts of hundreds of brave Hoosier volunteers. But, we will let the old lady speak for herself: "Naber Tubbinses wife, Mehitable, told m that curnel Jeems L tue is goin' to make a dimmycrat speech in town on Friday, and I'm bound to ccrne and hear him, if I break a trace by it.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING. cott cocntt. At a meeting of the democratic citizens of ' Scott county, held at Lexington, Jane 9th, 1S43, for the purpoae of nominating a candidate to j represent gaid county in the lower House cf the j next General Assembly, Elisha G. English was j

called to the chair as President, and Thomas Bearers was (elected Secretary. The object of the meeting being explained by the President, it was, on motion of Daniel Blocker, Jleio'red, That this convention now proceed to nominate a candidate for the Legislature, and that the citizens from each township be requested to assemble together separately, select the rnau of their choice, and report his name to the convention. The several Townships accordingly made their selection and on reporting the same to the convention it was found that Samuel S. Crowe, Esq , was the choice cf all the townships In the county, and he waa accordingly declared the unanimous choice of the convention. Hon. II. Smith moved that the chair appoint a committee of three to wait oa Mr. Crowe and inform him of his nomination, which was adopted; wherefore the Chair appointed Messrs. II. Smith, James Middleton and Daniel Blocker. Said committee retired for that purpose and discharged the trust confided in them, returned to the convention accompanied by Mr. Crowe, who was received with every manifestation of satisfaction and applause. Being loudly called upon to take the stand, he complied, and in a brief but well timed and interesting speech returned his thanks to the convention for the honor conferred upon him in giving him the nomination, which he should accept with feelings of pride and gratification. The best feeling prevailed throughout the contention, and after the adoption of a resolution that the proceedings be published in the Madison Courier, New Albany Democrat and Washing- j ton Democrat, the convention adjourned. ELISHA G. ENGLISH, President. Taomas Beavers, Sec'y. ff-We find the following article as a communication in the Cincinnati Gazette. We reprint it for the purpose of letting our Councilmen see it, that they may enact an ordinance containing some, if not all of its suggestions, which we think are excellent: STREET CLEANING. Messrs. Editors: Under the head "Philosophy of Street Cleaning," you ask, "how shall we keep our streets clean?" I shall not pretend to say 'how" it shall be done. I only propose to give you for the benefit of all interested the way and manner that thing is "done up brown" in a city of Western New York, where I have resided for about twelve years. And I must say, that in that whole time, I never saw in that town, of now over 30,000 inhabitants, anything like as rough pavements, and as nasty, filthy, and impassable streets, as I have in this "Queen City of the West," during the past few months. The system of operations to which I allude, is simply this: The city ordinance requires that every owner or occupant of every building or lot fronting street and alley, shall curing the cay Friday of each and every week, sprinkle well with water the width of the premises so occupied by them tothecentre of the street or alley, and then scrape and sweep the dirt, &c, into heaps, the entire width of the lot or premi Fes to the centre of the streetor alley, at ways6craping the same from the sidewalk and gutters. The next day, Saturday, the city scavengers, under the direction of the Street Superintendent, convey the piles away to a proper place of deposit. A failure to comply with the above law, subjects the occupant to a fine of five dollarr, which the Street Superintendent is required to collect. Thus, at a trifling expense, the streets and alleys are kept clean the. year round The trouble to the occupant is deemed of no moment there. Storekeepers, tradesmen, mechanics, and families, if they choose, and they generally do, can always employ poor boys who go around for that purpose, with their hoe, broom and watering pot, for a few cents to do the job for them. And thus, too, many a p ior child isfurnishd withemployment to advantage, for a portion of their time By a thorough and efficient practice of a similar system here, as well aselsewhere, your streets and alleys may be kept perfectly clean. YORKER. The New Orleans Overflow. The N. O. Bulletin makes the followinz announcement: "We learn with deep regret, that all attempts to stoo the Sauve crevasse have been abandoned,

overflow in the rear of the city. Fortunately, the prospects for this are at present favorable, as the river is steadily receding, and the advices from above are, that it is falling along its whole course, and no intelligence of any rise being on its way down. In the course of the present month, however, we shall certainly have the Missouri flood, which, from the great quantities . . . . . . . , of snow which fell durinor last winter, along the upper portion of that stream and its tributaries, will give us a more than usual heavy rise." The Missouri flood will be probably higher than the late one; and wh3t will be the condition of New Orleans after that? Blessed are the young fellows that have no girls j to claim their attention; for they caa get to bed early Sunday nights.

Deiadjtl Steamboat Exruurox LItm Lost, j Last Saturday morning, the eteamer Embassy, ' Capt Bennett, collapsed both the flusof her atnr- i board boilers, just below Green River, at three j mile bar, by which accident a number of thecrew and several deck passengers were killed and blown j overboard, and twenty eight others severely seal- j

ded. We did not learn the number killed and lost. They were chiefly deck passengers, however, and no one was hurt in the cabin. They had been sounding, and the boat was going slowly along through the shoal places at the bar when the flues collapsed. She was very much shattered. The cook was blown overboard and lost, and the second engineer, who was on watch, was very badly scalded. A good many of the wounded are in critical conditions, with but slight hopes of ; their recovery. The steamer Chancellor came up shortly after, and took the Embassy in tow and towed herdown to Evansville, where every possible care and attention was bestowed upon the sufferers. The Embassy was from Pittsburgh, bound for St. Louis, and had a large, number of passengers on board. She passed here last Friday. Lou. Courier. The Inspiration of Music. Alfieri, often be- j
