DURHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. (7-From the beet information tliat we can gather, cholera reports seem to indicate a much more favorable appear anca than yesterday. We cart hear of but two or three new c&ss since our last issue. Mrs. J. C. Smith, one of the cases reported yesterday, died about five o'clock, t. m. Mr. Wheeler, residing in the lower part of the city, died some time during the night. A colored man in Georgetown, reported this morning, wiil probably not recover. The EoarJ of health have attempted an organization, but in consequence of the members being eo constantly occupied, it was found impossible. In the absence of their reports, or the reports of individual phyeicians, our information is, necessarily, vague and uncertain. One thing, however, it quite certain, that there is much more panic ,:i the community than the circumstances will justify, or prudence dictate. O" From a telegraphic dispatch, received irt this city yesterday by T. T. Crittenden, E?qM we learn that Gov. Crittenden, of Kentucky, is recovering. O Notwithstanding the discouragement j attending the presence of the cholera in our city, builders and mechanics seem to be pushing their work with commendable real and energy. Every street gives evidence of an extent of improvement never before witnessed in this city. The buildings up and progressing are brick, and of a substantial character. 07-Many thanks to the members of the City Council, for superintending the work of inspecting and liming their respective wards. (7-From the Now Orleans Picayune, of the 9ih inst., we learn that the works are progressing rapidly at the crevassp, and that nothing has occurred to mar the prospect of success. The water is slowly receding. It will be truly fortunate when this great source of distress is disposed of. Poor Old Ireland! The Boston Transcript tays that the London Dispatch, in epeaking of the terrible picture, says: "Ireland has become a desert. The bones of her people are bleaching by the wayside, and the grass is growing in the street of her villages.' (i7 The funeral of Gen. Gaines took place at New Orleans, on the 7ih instant. The funeral procession is described as the largest tl at has ever ever taken place in New Orleans. The flags on the buildings and vessels were at half-mast, and all business in the streets through which the- procession passed was, for the time, suspended. 07 From a gentleman whose information may be relied upon with the utmost certainty, we learn that mere were but eigut interments yesterday; five of which were reported to be from cholera, and three from other diseases. .1. . , ,. . . . 5" Sartain's unrivalled "Union Magazine' for July, has been laid upon our labia by Mr. Howard. Ve have not had time to peruse its contents, but doubt not the articles will fully sustain the well-earned reputation cf its laiented contributors. The mechanical execution of the work is such as we should expect from the enterprise and taste of the publishers. One nf ' r vjue 01 1 the engraving? the Cantatrice is worth ' ,t i the price ot the number. ! Mr. Howard, a agent for Ton & Co., of; Cincinnati, is prepared to furni&h to subbriber?, at the publishers' prices, any of the American and Foreign Reviews, popular Magazines, and periodicals of the day. OCT At last accounts from New York, the arrival of Father Mathew was daily expeeled, and hi friends in that city have made great preparations to receive h:m in a Lccominr; un c ncr

Tee Emigrant Tide. A New York letter says : "For the las; two months the number of emigrants arriving in this city from foreign countries, has averaged vaven hundred a day, being at the rate of two hundred and fifty thousand per year,"" for thi? port alone. Frcm this I am led to behave that we shall receive a greater accession to our population this year ttian ever. Last year the whole number that arrived in all parts of the country, was two hundred and fifty thousand. It is a remarkable fact that a majority of thia year'e emigrants are Germans. Last year they were Irian." Journalism in France. Of the new Logitiative Assembly of France, three hundred members arc, or have been, editors. (CT There aie now over S3.000.000 of specie in the banks of New Orleans, and enough more in the sub-treasury to make an aggregate of at least S10.000.000. Cholkra is Nashville Twenty-three Deaths in One Day. The Nashville papers represent the cholera to be raging there at an unprecedented extent. The Gazette of Saturday says: 'This scourge seems to be at its zenith in this city it reigns supreme. Yesterday was a melancholy day for all our citizens sympathise with the suffering and afflicted. Death did its work in many houses. Such a state of things cannot last long, and we hope to be able in a few days to announce its entire disappearance from our fair city. We could not ascertain the number of cases yesterday we think though about forty, of whom 23 died. The attacks were singularly fatal during the entire day. Writing on NKwsFArs-Rs. A suit was some time since commenced against the Post-master of Syracuse, New York, for detaining a newspaper upon a charge of letter postage, under the following circumstances : A newspaper, bearing the initials of a friend, reached the office, directed to a young lady residing in the family of the plaintiff, un which the

Post-master deemed it his duty to charge letter postage. The plaintiff demanded the paper, and tendered therefor the newspaper postage, one cent, which was refused. On this, a suit was commenced against the Post-master, for unlawfully retaiuing the paper. The case went from Court to Court, until it flually reached the Supreme Court of the United States, where it was recently decided that the Post-master had acted correctly in making the charge according to letter postage. The costs in this suit will amount to at least $400. The amounf involved in the original dispute between the Post-master and the plaintiff was nine cents. This case furnishes a beautiful illustration of the advantages of going to law. Great Britain purchased last year over $70,000,000 worth of the products of this country. Can she continue to be such a customer, if we take nothing but money from her in return? If we by high protective tariffs exclude her fabrics, our manufactures may flourish, will it not be at the expense of our farmers? Boston Post. O A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says: "More than thirty years ago, I read a communication in a New York paper, stating that great destruction of property would always occur in those years when the 19th of August came on Sunday. Can any one account for such a fact? or will the curious, who have the mean to do so, examine the files of New York papers, between the years 1816 and 1820, for the statements then published." An Honest Mas. We learn from the Lowell Advertiser that Mr. Daniel Ayer, of that city, last week, paid to his creditors debts to the amount of over 6,000 from which he was lrgilly discharged, fie failed in business in 1844, and was discharged from his debts under the insolvent law. His wife then etarted him in business. Without his knowledge she sold her furniture for $50, and purchased in her own name a 6ina!l lot of land, paying the $50 down. Upon this land they made a profit of ! aknnUO flHA 1 D Id CI , , , , , 3 , o uao uiauo ji,uuu ciear 01 an losses ana expenses. On Monday evening of last week, he gave a supper to his old creditors, and then paid to each his original claim and interest. As a token of their respect, they presented him a silver pitcher which cost $80. Mr. Ayer has, In this, shown himself an honest man's the noblest work of God.' N. II. Patriot. i Gold.

A JliaciiAWT taocLS ti as Hosohbli Ma. Although a maa cannot be. an honorable rasa without being an hoat man, yet a man may hi strictly honest without being honorable. Honesty refers to pecuniary affairs; honor refers to tha principle and feelings. Ha may pay his debts punctually, he city defraud no man, and yet ha may act dishonorably. He acts dishoaorabiy'when he gives his rivals a worse opinion of his rivals in trade than he knows they deserve. He acta dishonorably when he sell his commodities at less than their real value, In order to get away his neighbors customer; he acts dishonorably when he purchases at higher than the market price, In order that he may raise the market on another buyer; he acts dishonorably when he draws accommodation bills, and passes them to his banker for discount, as if they arose out of real transactions; he acts dishonorably in every case wherein his external conduct is at variance with his real opinions; he acts dishonorably if, when driving on a prosperous trade, he does not allow his servants and assistants, through whose exertions he obtains his success, to share in hia prosperity; he acts dishonorably if, after he has become rich, he is unmindful of the favors be received when he was poor. In all these cases therb may be no intentional frauW; it may not be dishonest, but it may be dishonorable conduct. Hunt's Merchants' Mag. Excessive Politeness. Rowland Hill was always annoyed when there happened to be any noise in the chapel, or when anything occurred to divert the attention of his hearers from what he was saying. On ona occasion, a few days before his death, he was preaching to one of the most crowded congregations that had ever assembled to hear him. In the middle of his discourse he observed a commotion in the gallery. For some time he took no notice of it; but, finding it increasing, he paused in his sermon, and looking in the direction in which the confusion prevailed, he exclaimed: What's the matter there? The deyil seeras to have got among you." A plain, country-looking man immediately started to his feet, and addressing Mr. Hilt in reply, said: 'No sir, it arn't the devil wots doing it; it's a fat lady wot's fainted; and 6he's a werry fat 'un, sir, as doesn't seem likely to come to again in a hurry." Oh, that's it, is it?" said Mr. Hill, drawing his hand across his chin. "Then, I beg the lady's pardon and the devil's, too " Young Men. It should be the aim of young men to go into good society we mean not the rich, nor the fashionable, but the society of the wise, the intelligent and the good. When you find men that know more than you do, and from whose conversation you get information, it is always safe to be found with them. It has broken down many a man to associate with the low and vulgar, where the ribald pong was sung, and the indecent story told, to excite laughter or influence the bad passions. Lord Clarendon attributed success and happiness in life to associating with persons more learned or more virtuous than ourselves. If you wish to be wise and respected, if you desire happiness and not misery, we advise you to associate with the intelligent and good. Strive for excellence and strict integrity, and you will never be found in the sinks of pollution, or in the ranks of the profligates and gamblers. Once habituate yourself to a virtuous course, and no punishment would be greater than, by accident, to be obliged for half a day to associate with the low and vulgar. Young Satan. A good one. An Ebony urchin was employed to cleanse a chimney in New York, and having ascended to the "height of his ambition," proceeded to descend again, but unfortunately mistaking the flue, which had been the field of his labors, he found himself, on landing, in the private apartment of a limb of the law, whose disposition to study w as immediately knocked into a cocked hat. It would be impossible to describe the situation of the parties. Ebony, fearful lest his abrupt entrance should be punished, stood riveted to the spot. The lawyer struck dumb, started from his seat; upon his ghastly phiz, gaunt horror, in awful characters had chalkhis name. Ebony soon found a tongue, and in accent which only increased the lawyer's terrors, cried out, "My father's coming booh 1" There was "Nuf ced." The presence of one such being was enough to unnerve the stoutest heart- With one terrible bound the lawyer cleared the door. With hair straight out and eyes on fire, he reached the kitchen, and having ensconced himself in the farthest corner, he sat watching the fire-place in anxious silence. The Lcngs. On examination, the lungs will be found full of innumerable little holes, like a sponge. These holes are the cells into which the air enters when we breathe. So great is their number that they have been calculated to amount to 170,000,000, forming a surface thirty times greater thaa the human body. Every one of these cells is provided with a net work of blood vessels, by means of which the blood is brought into immediate contact with the air over every portion of their surface. When this great amount is taken into consideration, we shall at once fee how necessary it is to supply pure air to the lungs with every breath -jve draw.

EiAtrnrcL Vtar EiACTircL. Night klsed the young rose, and it bent softly to sleep. And stars sh'.ned, and pure dew-drep f l upon its blushing besom and watched its sweet slumbers. Morning came, with her dancing breezes, and they whispered to the young rose, and it awoke

joyous and smiling. Lightly it danced to and fro in all the loveliness of health end youthful lnnocense. Then came the ardent sun-god sweeping from the east, and he smote the young rose with his golden shaft, end it fainted. Deserted and almost heart-broken, it dropped to the dust in iu loneliness and despair. Now the gentle breeze who had been gamboling over the sea, pushing on the bark, sweeping over the hill and dale by the neat cottage and the still brook turning the old mill, fanning the fevered brow of disease, and tossing the curl of I innocent childhood came tripping along on her errand of mercy and love; and, when the saw the young rose, she hastened to kiss, and fondly bathed its forehead in cool refreshing showers, and the young rose revived, looked up and flung out its ruddy arras as if in gratitude to embrace the kind breeze; but she hurried quickly away; her generous task was performed; yet not without regard, for she soon perceived that a delicious fragrance had been poured on her wings by the grateful rose; and the kind breeze was glad iu her heart, and went away singing through the trees. Thus true charity, like the breeze with gathers a fragrance from the humble flower it refreshes, unconsciously reaps a reward in the performance of its office of kindness and love, which steals through the heart, like a rich perfume to bless and cheer. Answering our own Prayers. In the vicinity of B , lived a poor but industrious man, depending for his support upon his daily labor. His wife fell sick, and not being able to hire a nurse, he was obliged to confine himself to the sick bed and family. His means of support thus cut off, he found himself in need. Having a wealthy neighbor near, he determined to go and ask him for two bushels of wheat, with a promise to pay as eoon as his wife became so much better that he could leave her and return to his work. Accordingly he took a bag, went to his neighbor's, and arrived while the family were at morning prayers As he sat on the door-stone heard the man pray very earnestly thit God would clothe the naked, feed the hungry, relieve the distressed and comfort all that mourn. The prayer concluded, the poor man stepped in and made known his business, promising to pay with the avails of hia first labor. The farmer was very sorry he could not accommodate him, but he had promised to loan a large sum of money, and had depended upon his wheat to make it out; but he presumed neighbor , would let him have it. With a tearful eye and sad heart the poor man turned away. As soon as he left the house the farmer's little son stepped up and said, "Father, did you not pray that God would clothe the naked, feed the hungry, relieve the distressed, and comfort the mourners?" "Yes, why?" "Because, father, if I had your wheat, I would answer that prayer." It is needless to add that the christian father called back his suffering neighbor and gave him as much as he needed. A Beggar's Crotch and Coat. A short time ago, says the Birmingham Mercury, an old beggar, a resident of Dudley, "shufSed off this mortal coil," and with it an old crutch and a great ccat, which he left to his two daughters. After the old man's decease the cast off garment and the crutch were thrown on one side and almost forgotten, till one day the crutch was called into requisition to puuish a refractory cow, which had broken into a garden; when,lo! the handle came off, and 350 sovereigns were found enclosed! The other daughter, hearing of the golden shower, hastened home and examined the great coat left by the old man, when, to her astonishment and delight, a similar number of sovereigns were found stitched in old rags in the collar and waist of the cast off garment. The daughters had not the slightest idea that the old man, who had lived the most penurious manner, had ever possessed such sums of money as they now equally inherit. Profitable Voyage. We have heretofore noticed the arrival of the barque John W. Caters, of this port, at San Francisco. From the Dry Goods Reporter we learn that on her cargo, which cost about 60,000, a net profit of more than $100,000 was realised. Among ether things which were taken out, were some cooking stoves, which cost here from 18 to $20 and sold there for 125 each. N. Y. Com. Absence. A fashionable Doctor lately informed his friends in a large company, that he had been passing eight days in the country. "Yes," said one of the party, "it has been announced in one of the journals." "Ah!" said the Doctor, stretching hi neck very importantly, "pray in what terms?" "In what terms? Why, as well as I can remember, in the following: 'There were last week seventy-seven interments less than the wetk before.' " O-H ow many fond mothers and frugal house wives keep their pretty daughters and their preserves for some extra occasion some "big bug" or other, till both tarn sour. This -ems to us marvellously poor connrny.
