FOR CONGRESS, SECOND DISTRICT, CYRUS L. DU IV HA 31, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. 33 We are happy to state to-day that, go far as we can learn, no case of cholera has occurred in this city since those reported by us yesterday. We are told by physicians that there is a good deal of bowel complaint prevailing at this time, but that it is more of the character of nux than any other disease. Di-tkessim.;. The pilot of the Wiscon-

Mil uiiuims, us uai, w uen i.iai uu , Messrs. EditoR3: Aurora yesterday, he was told by a citizen ; u ja Row certaiQ that the o! the town that there were at that time j cho!era has made its appearance in this city, and ten corpses of persons who had died from 1 it behooves all, severally and jointly, as far cholera, then unburied in the town; and j as may be in their power, to aid in its remot h at numbers of others were down with j val, leaving no stone unturned that will tend to th disease. The physicians were unable ! arrest the dread scourge or dilute its influence, to attend to the calls, and they had sent to j T1,e advice Fut forth b' several of our most

Rising Sun for medical assistance. Capt. Wright informs us that seven cases of cholera had occurred at Patriot yesterday. He did not hear that there had been any deaths. Aurora does not contain to exceed fifteen hundred inhabitants, and Patriot has not more than half that number. The mortality at Aurora is greater, in proportion to its population, than in any town we have vet heard of. Steamboat Accidents. The steamboat Memphis recently encountered a gale near .New Madrid, by which nearly all her cabin forward of the wheels was blown overboard. Eleven persons were lost by the accident. The steamboat Cincinnatus, which received a part of her cargo at this city last week, sunk a few days since at the Grand Chain. A considerable portion of her cargo was thrown overboard, in order to save the boat, but without effect. The steamboat Grand Turk was recently burned near the Chalk Banks. We have no particulars of this disaster. tCTWe commend to the attention of our readers the article published in to-day's paper, over the signature of "Medicus." The writer is a physician; and we think his suggestions are excellent. (jThe New Yoik Sun of the Sth inst. says thst the late news from California is having its effect upon transactions on "Change. Real cst-ue is rising, and the probability is, that it will, before the end of j a year, reach a pitch higher than it was ever known before. inrThis morning at eight o'clock the weather was oppressively warm ; and at ten o'clock it wa; cool enough for woolen clothing. Such cudden changes cannot be otherwise than unhrauhy a n d people should, as far as practicable, change their clothing so as to correspond wiih the different degrees of temr-eraiure in the atmosphere. Cr Captain Ford, of the steamer Marv Stephen?, informs the Louisville Courier that Mr. Jacob Stewart, of Franklin, la a cabin nasenser from St. Louis, died of; cholera on the second day out. Before leaving St. Louis he had eaten impi udentiy of cherries. 0j-The Cincinnati Dispatch fays that no ! no less than three firemen have died s-ince ' the fire on Thursday, from injuries then ', received. , National Dkbts. The public debt of France is rapidly increasing. It is already fifteen hundred million of tio'lars. That nf Knc nJ IS IOUT lUOUrana niii..uU CI dollars.

(cirThe Ntw York Sua of the Sth inst. says that not less than seven hundred emigrants have, on an average, arrived daily at that pert for the last two months. Many cf them have brought considerable sums of money; and, in general, they have been in better circumstances than ordinary. 07-We are rejoiced to learn that there is a probability that ex-President Polk will recovet from his recent severe attack of ; illness. ' XT The Board of Health of Louisville reported yefterday two cases of cholera in i private practice, and two cases at the Ma

rine Hospital. The Board says that the city is very healthy, and is entirely free from all epidemic influence. CT Judge Burnett, J. C. Hall, and Josiah Lawrence, the gentlemen appointed by the Legislature of this Slate to examine the practicability of constructing a ship canal around the Falls of the Ohio, on the jon(j Indiana snore, arrived at .Louisville on ay. and spent the day in the object nf their visit. For the Courier. i eminent medical men throughout the country, j in regard to diet, cleanliness, clothiug, 6cc, should not be neglected; the city authorities, too, should be more particularly vigilant at this time; all the high ways and jye ways should receive a scrutenizing visit and be properly cleansed. Whatever may be the remote cause of cholera, certain it is that cleanliness lessens its effects and hastens its entire removal. Disinfecting agents, or articles reputed to be such, should not be discarded. There is everything to be gained and nothing to loose by a free use of them, for, it is conceded, even by their enemies, that they will do no harm, and may be productive of good. In a communication put lortn in the "Uanuer, it was emphatically stated by the author that lime had no influence in correcting the morbid condi tion of the atmosphere; that its efficacy was about on a par with saw dust. Without wish ing to enter into a controversy at present on the subject, and, with due respect to the opinions of "Satirist," I beg leave to state that my own ex perience for the last five years has led me to re verse conclusions- I have seeu it used in mala rious atmospheres, crowded hospitals, and close transports, with the best effect, and it is to be ho ped thatour city authorities will not fail to have it freely distributed throughout their jurisdiction in contra-distinction to the opinions of any one 1 individual. j There is another matter to which I wish to ' draw the attention of gentlemen immediately j concerned. It is the condition of the poor at the j present moment. If there is a time when the j unfortunate poor should meet with the kind I sympathies and strict attention of the overseers, it is when disease has entered their humble habitations. There is at present a number of hovels j in which misery and death elands in the very ' midst. A room scarcely large enough to accornmodato two persona pleasantly is ob! iged to give shelter to fifteen or twenty; a majority of those are prostrate with disease and the balance, for the want of proper means, cando nothing to relieve their distressed situation. The fact lhat the county treasury has been drawn upon heavily the preceeding year, and, that the expenses for the last month have alreadybeen two or three hundred dollars, should not, I think, deter those gentlemen whose duty it is to provide for the unfortunate, from relieving or ameliorating their unhappy condition as far as possible. A strict economy in the disbursement of thepoor fund is, certainly, commendable; but a penurious saving of it, that it may redound to the political preferment of the officers hereafter, should aud I think would be condemned by the public MEDICUS. j XEW York Conference East. This annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, nw in session at Middletown, Ct.,have concur red in submitting the Ciiurch property question to arbitration with only seven dissentient votes. tr The Nashville Typographical Society requests journeyman printers not to come to that city, at this crisis, with the expectation of obtaining work. They have already an over supply. IT Rev Samuel J. May says that "confidence ; is a plautof slow growth." It may be generally so; but we have seen some fellow who seemed to have been born with a good crop of it. tO"?ereeant David Patterson, of the United States Marines, lately arrived in the frigate Independence, and who fought in several actions in Cahf.j.-r, i curing the war, died of choleraat Portsmouth, Va., on Thursday week.

ICf Th odoie Farkrr, in a late discourse, said full of its wonted good humor. The policeman that as much matter was printed in Boston alone, , fixed his gaze upon the receding form of the m.inin tourteen days, as was written iu the hole j age r of fat boys, dwarfs, and mermaids, until it

' According to accounts received at Vienna the ! Hungarian Parliament on the 14th of April, on '. the motion of M. Kossuth, adopted the follow- i ing declaratory resolu tions: j "1. Hungary, together with Transylvania, is, and shall be a free and independent European i State. 2.

"And the said House is and shall be declared in the name of the nation to have forfeited the throne, and to be excluded and disowned and banished. "3.

"The execution of the principles contained in these resolutions is confided to a committee of three persons." The accounts go on to say M. Kossuth's motion was adopted by the unanimous vote of the Parliament, amidst the most enthusiastic cheers of the people. "This thundering voice of millions," adds the Cousiitutiouelle Zeitung, "is the shout of the resurrection of 1 the Magyur nation; it is the dirges of the exiled j and traitorous house of Hapsburg Lorraine." The Two Breakfasts. The foundry bell rang and Matthews hastened home to his breakfast. ! The first sound that met his ears on opening the ; door of his house was the squalling of the chil- ! dren, while his other senses were regaled with a ! bad smell of ashes and steam, and in the sight of his wife in the act of mopping up a puddle of 1 . r 0 i over tne floor. 1 he character ot poor iMatthews domestic comforts generally might be seen in his wife's toilet on the morning in question. Her uncombed hair sticking out under the border of a dingy night-cap, her gown open behind, apron hanging by one string, and boots dirty and unlaced, completed the appearance of the thorough slattern. Her husband was up to work regularly atsix, but she laid in bed till the last minute, and then all was hurry to get breakfast ready iu time. On this morning, as usual, she brought down the baby, which, uncomfortable in its wet nightclothes, lay screaming in the cradle. A little boy, ! tired ot being lelt aone, had crawled to the top j of the stairs, and there sat crying in turn. Mrs. , Matthews had made the coffee, and put the milk j on to boil, and had only just run up to smack the noisy uudressed urchin on the stairs, when she heard the milk boiling over, and hurrying to snatch it off the fire, she upset the coffee-pot, and was mopping up the wasted beverage as herhusband entered. Sheeyed him with an angry frown meant to show that she was not afraid, he said nothing, and looked around. On one side were the supper things of the night before, on the other, the extinguished fire in front, the table covered with dust, and the sloppy floor. He turned on his heel, and went to breakfast at a coffeehouse, which he had visited so often nrder similar circumstances that he looked upon it as a much more comfortable pUce than hi3 own house. Richard Cooper, also a workman in the same foundry, went to his breakfast at the same hour. No sooner did he open the door leading into his kitchen, than a little girl, the picture of cleanliness, ran for a kiss, and a little boy, just able to crawl, seemed eager to jump from his mother's arms. Richard's wife was a tight and trim little body, always neatly dressed, never looked slatternly, even when at work. The room was clean

The secret of his comfort and good temper lay in his wife's habit of early rising and careful management. f Family Economist. O Rarnum has been exeilinz a complaint in Philadelphia, by hanging a huge uniq .e flag across the street, in front of his new Museum. One of the municipal police waited upon him, and told him that unless he took the sin down he would be liable to a penalty. "How much a dayis it1" asked the Great King of Wonders. "Two dollars," replied the officer. "Then, I'll take a hundred dollars worth," coolly rejoined Barmim, as he calmly strode awav, with his countenance , was out of sight, when he ' "That's EirnuT! '.

Beautiful Sentiment. The late eminent !

Judg - , Sir Alien Parke, once said at a public 1 meeting in London: S ye live in th midst cf bleswoc till ws are j utterly insensible of their greatness and of the j source from whence they flow. We speak of j our civilization, cur arts, our freedom, our laws, j and forget entirely how larr a share is cue to ! Christianity. Blot Christianity out of man's his- i tory and what would his laws hate been, what ! his civilization? Christianity is mixed up with' our very bein2 and our very life; there is not a . familiar object around us which does not wear a ! different aspect because the light of Christian love is upon it; not a law which does not owe ' its truth and gentleness to Christianity; not a ' custom which cannot be traced in all its holy, ' beautiful parts to the gospel." Cholera and Excitements. The New York i Post, remarking upon the unusually large cholera j report in that city on Tuesday, says that such a j result was anticipated, and adds: j The excitement incident to the celebration ! yesterday was, doubtless unfavorable to the pub- i ,jc heaUh . anJ jt hag beeQ frequentiy remarked ; j before, that during the prevalence of cholera the 1 r 1 r. nember of cases is always increased after a , , , day or a noliiiav.

The W ashington i , ...t-.,. r. r i 1 correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, "Ion, has . . , , . i the fallow-ins in his letter of the ah inst.: i "Dr. Edwards advises his friends here of an easy and effectual mode of securing themselves from cholera.

Love of Praise. The love of distinction per- ; vades every class of society. The lines of the poet Young are beautifully expressive of this' universal passion: The love of praise, howe'er concealed by art, Glows more or or less and reigns in every heart, j The prond, to gain it, toils on toils endure, j The modest shun it, but to make it sure. j ! It aids the dancer's skill, the writer's head, i j And heaps the plain with mountains of the dead. j Xor ends it here; it nods with sable plume ' j Shines on our hears, and glitters on our tomb. j Gunpowder vs. Chorale. When the Cholera 1 visited London in lc'32 and '33, the city authori- ! ties had small quantities of gunpowder tied tightly in strong paper and fired in the alleys and densi-ly populated portions of the great metropolis. The concussion disturbed the air, and the odor from the powder displaced obnoxious effluvia and purified the atmosphere. It was used in theatres, churches, and school-rooms, and was found to be a powerful ci.-inft-cting ag"iit, the smell remaining upwards of 24 hours in the buildings. It was used in the luziretlos of Triet and Malta, and was tried in Paris in lt-33, and also in Montreal. In the latter city cannon were placed in the narrow streets and fired with blank Cartridges. In some of the Western towns recently bfilicted, the same remedy has been trid with success. Truth. A parent may leave an estate to his son, but how soon mav it be mortg;gd.
