DUNHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. 7- Owing to one of th hands in the o5ee being sicK, we are somewhat behind cur usual time of pub'ication to-day. Cholera. There have been seven new cues of cholera and three deaths, since yeiterday noon. E7From a letter received by Gamaliel Taylor, Esq., from his son, we learn that the overland company that left thia place for California, arrived safely at Fort Kearney on the 29th of May. They were all well and in fine spirits. !EP We learn that within thu last week there have been fifteen cases and seven deaths from choleia in Lexington, Scott county, la. gr The Taylorites are chuckling over the many removals made by Gen. Taylor. They forget that in a great many of these cases the United States' Senate will be called upon to approve or disapprove ot such proceedings. The Senate must "advise and consent" to the nominations that have been made, or they must refuse to do o. Now, does any one suppose that a Democratic Senate will endorse Gen. Taylor's conduct in the matter of removals! Will the Senate voluntarily share with him the infamy of such condnct? Far fiom it, we hope. If the Senate is true to itself and true to the country, it will enquire rigidly into the cause of every removal, and the reasons why such and such appointments have been made. Gen. Taylor said that he would make "honesty, capacity, and fidelity indispensible to the bestowal of office,'' and that removals from office should not be made without good cause shown; and his votaries have boldly and unblushingly declared that all the removals that have been made have been for caute intimating that the removed were either dishonest, incapable, or unfaithful. The people know this to be false, but it does not lessen the obligations of the Senate to enquire into it. such wholesale slanders should not go unrebuked, and the Spnate of the United States must either lend itself to favor the basest administration that has ever been inflicted upon this country, or it must reject the nominations made by Gen. Taylor, leaving but here and there an occasioual exception where an appointment may have been honorably made, and where the appointee is worthy of the trust conferred upon him. Such instances, however, we regret to say, are extremely rare. Cholera ai Aukora. This scourge has not abated in its severity in Aurora. There have already been over sixty deaths more than one out of every twenty-five cf the population, even counting the full number of inhabitants before the scourge visited that town. Eut, for the last week, tn than one half, if not fully threefoutths eC the citizens have been out of town. This makes the pro rata fatality much greater than that given above. The disease continues without abatement in thQ Ut quency of us attacks, and is increasing in malignancy. t cia :or Mr. Dunham's election are most favorable in every portion of the district. Wherever he has been, he bai made a favorable impression and it is confidently expected that his vote in the distrkt will exceed that given to Gen. Cass last fall. Ail we want is that the democrats shall turn out on election day and .give to hi n that triumphant majority which they are able to give. (7- We are told that there were about twenty applicants for the ofSce of County Treasurer, mad vacant by the death of Mr. Pugh. We are also told, upon whig authority, that 6ome applicants had petitions in circulation in less than two hours after Mr. Pugh's death. There is a specimen of cfke hat-rg wh'scery f0r you.

03r The Whigs of the Terrs Haute district have nominated E. W. McGaughey for Congress. Thia we suppose is his reward for his traitorous course in Congress, and his sympathy with the Mexicans. We wish some one would explain to U3 how it is that a party professing consistency and honesty can make president one man whose only merit was in slaying Mexicans, and send to Congress another man whose principal actions have been the abuse of thoss who engaged in that

same Mexican war. 07" We have heard from several portions of the Third Congressional District, and the prospect is that John L. Robinson, democrat, will beat Joseph Robinson, whig, more than one thousand votes. Taylorism is becoming very unpopular in that district, and Jo. Robinson's vulgarity and blackguardism disgusts the respectable portion of his own party wherever he addresses them. In Rushville, not long since, the ladies whose residences were in the vicinity of the place of speaking, were compelled to close their doors and windows on account of his obscenity. 0The Brookville American, whig, does not put the name of the whig candidate for Lieutenant Governor at its masthead, because the fee has not been paid. That's tne estimation in which a portion of the whig ticket is held by whigs themselves. Whiggery is depreciating rapidly. Thi Southern Routs: to Santa Fi. Captain Frederick T. Dent, 5th U. S. Infantry, who was eeat out In March last, on a second excursion from Fort Smith, Arkansas, under orders from Gen. Arbuckle, with the view of making a surrey, and opening a road on the south side of the river Canadian, as far as Chouteau's trading post and connecting with the Santa Fe trade, has returned, aud his report reached us through the Fort Smith Heraid. According to Capt. D's report, the distance, when compared with the old route, has been greatly diminished, and passing over a much better country than the mort sanguine friends of the south side of that river had anticipated. Capt D. Experienced much inclement weather, and the flood of rains which had fallen, had rendered the prairies, through which the course lay, rather impracticable for heavy laden wagons to pass ovei ; an objection, however, wuteh does not exist throughout the year. This young officer, has reported also upon the practicability of constructing a Rail Road over the country which he passed. We extract from his report, on this head, his concluding remarks: "My opinion is that no extraordinary difficulty will present itself. With a very little deviation from the route I pursued, a road can be obtained throughout the whole line, of which the grades will not exceed ten feet a mile, and this only at a few points, as it may be carried on a level prairie nearly all the way. But few viaducts will be required, and where required a single arch will suffice. Every stream presents one or more points for crossing, with firm, natural founda tion for abutments. Coal of good quality, limestone for lime, at convenient intervals; good timber, of every variety; and fine building stone, already almost shaped to suit the architect's purpose, are strong recommendations in favor of the valley of the Canadian as a locality for the connecting link between the eastern and western extremes of our country. The following is an extract from a letter from a Louisiana planter, who is also an eminent physician: I think it probable that the cholera has destroyed a full tenth of the slaves of Louisiana. My children have lost fifteen, whilst I have lost but one old man. It attacked their'a fir6t, which put me on the alert to guard mine, by preparing them for the attack. This I did by giving each of them from five to ten or twelve grains of calomel, with from one-tenth to one-fourth of a grain of morphine at night. The discharge of dark bile the next morning was incredibly large. The old man alluded to was the only grown person who did not take the medicine; and I can affirm with confidence, that no one who took this preparatory course was lost amongst my children's slaves. It is my opinion that no person will take the cholera whose liver is in healthful action. It is evidently an atmospheric disease, often assuming the character of epidemic, from local causes, which favor its deleterious quality, or render its subjects more susceptible of its influence. O" Dr. Harteaux, of Paris, has published a statement, that the nse of tobacco is a preservative sgeinst ths cholera, to a great extent. Of two thousand people engaged in its manufacture, he found but twelve persons who had been attacked. Vldal, Diemerbrook and Ruef, all agree ia this opinion, and Dr. Moore says tobacco injections will cur the cholera. CCr A Wisconsin Copper Mine at Miaaral Point lsblng worked, and good specimens from it have been received at Milwaukie. About forty tons of pure copper have been obtained thus far.

FROM MEXICO. We have received files of El Siglo, from ths City of Mexico, to the 19th. They contain very little mwi of sufficient interest to call for voluminous extracts. Ths war en the Sierra is yet far from being extinguished, although one of the principal leaders of the insurrection, was submitted to ths Government. The project of uniting the two oeeans by a railroad from Vera Cruz to Acapulco, has been adopted by the Senate, and is now before the Chamber of Deputies. There was a treraenduous catastrophe at the magazine of the famous mines of La Lug, on the 8th ult, caused by the explosion of 1,800 arrobas

of gunpowder. A considerable quantity of property was destroyed, and many lives were lost. In various parts of the Sierra Gorda, hitherto free from commotion, there has been a general rise of the Indians, caused by the withdrawal of the Government forces. The insurgents are directing their way to Guadalcazar. The whites are emigrating in crowds, and taking refuge at San Lais Potosi. Ei Siglo says that, like the hydra in the fable, rebellion raises its head on one spot after it has been cut down in another, and urges the Government to make one great effort to pacificate that great focus of disaffection. In Chihuahua the Apaches and other wild Indians continue their ravages. An exclusive privilege for ten years has been granted to Senor Don J. de la Granji, for the establishment of an Electric Telegraph throughout the Republic. Much interest is displayed by the population throughout Mexico, in the recent discovery of gold deposites in California; and, on the Pacific coast, considerable bodies of men have moved off toward that territory. N. O. Picayune. A Hungarian Noble The London Spectator says that the Hungarian artillery is served principally by young men of good family and station, advocates, engineers, employers, all without exception, men of scientific and literary training. But the pride and boast of the Hungarian army are the thirteen hussar regiments, (each at least 800 strong,) five of which have been newly organized. One of these the nation owes to the patriotism of Count Karoli. This great nobleman, who almost vies with the Hsterhazs in wealth, and who has hitherto taken but little part in Hungarian politics, in addition to a contribution in money amounting to twenty thousand pounds sterling, did in last November, at his sole expense, raise, mount, and equip a regiment of this brilliant arm, which he now commands in person in the field. All the troops are well clothed and armed, amply provisioned, regularly paid and sufficiently provided with stores and amunition of every kind. A Tough Stort. Talk not of tough stories In Yankee newspapers, says one of our exchanges, after reading the following, from a St Petersburgh journal: "A returned traveler from ths North tells me of a curious mode they have in Siberia of procuring the skin of the Sable. Their fur is in the greatest perfection in the depth of winter, at which time the hunter proceeds to the forest, armed with a pitcher of water and some carrion meat. He deposites the meat at the foot, and climbs to the top of a high tree. As soon as the animal, attracted by the scent, arrives, the man drops some water on his tail, and it instantaneously frozen to the ground ! On which, descending from his elevation with incredible rapidity, the hunter, with a sharp k nife, cuts him traversely on the face. The Sable, from the excess of pain, taking an extraordinary spring forward, runs off, and, his t il being fast to the ground, out of his skin, of course, leaving it a prey to the hunter. Upon expressing a slight doubt as to the probability of this mode of skinning the anirnalf, my friend assured me that he never could have believed it, had he not frequently beheld it himself." Stopn.mg a Newspaper. The following from a contemporary, is very much to the point: A certain man hit his toe against a pebble and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and under the influence of angt-r and active self-sufficiency, he kicked old mether earth right saucily. With imperturable gravity, he looked to see "the vast globe itself dissolved," and come to nought But the earth remained, and only his poor foot was injured in the encounter. This is the way of manAn article appears in the newspaper touching him in a weak place, and straightway he sends word to stop his paper. With great self-complacenly, he looks on to see a crash, when the object of his spleen shall cease to be. Poer fool! he has only hit his own toe against a world that does not perceptibly feel the shock; and injures, to no extent, any one but himself. The daughter of an eminent merchant of New York, represented as a beautiful and accomplished woman, recently married, returning one day last week from Brooklyn, engaged a hack at one of the city ferries. After entering, she was oppressed with the odor of vinegar pervading the vehicle. On reaching her own residence she was attacked with the small pox, and in a short time was a corpse. They have a summary way of dispensing justice in California. At San Francisco and at the mines, all persons guilty cf theft are immediately hang, wttheet jtHge or jury

Bowdoin reviewed the troops of Massachusetts, (1785) he was dressed in a erey wig, cocked hat, a white broad-cloth coat and waistcoat, red small clothes, and black silk stockings. In 1782, Gov. Hancock received his guests in a red velvet cap, within which, was one of fine linen, turned up over the edge of the velvet one, two or three inches. He wore a blue damask gown, lined with silk, a white satin embroidered waistcoat, black satin small clothes, white silk stockings, and red morocco slippers. The Judges of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, as late as 1773, wore robes of scarlet, faced with black velvet; and in summer, black silk gowns. Gentlemen wore coats cf every variety of color, generrally the cape and collar of velvet of a different color from the coat. In 1788, Gen. Washington arrived in New York, from Mt. Vernon, to assume the duties of the Presidency He was dressed in a full suit of Virginia homespun. On his visit to New England, soon after, be wore the old Continental uniform, except on the Sabbath, when he appeared in black. John Adams, when Vice President, wore a sword, and walked the streets with his hat under his arm. At his levees in Philadelphia, Presi dent Washington was clad in black velvet, his hair was powdered, and gathered behind in a silk bag; yellow gloves, knee and shoe buckles; he held in his hand a cocked hat, ornamented with a cockade, fringed about an inch deep with black feathers, a long swoid in a white scabbard, with a polished steel hilt hung at his hip. Advantage of Method. A man has twenty or thirty letters and packages to carry to their several destinations; but instead of arranging them beforehand, and putting all addressed to the same neighborhood in a parcel, he crams the whole into a promiscuous bag. He delivers one letter in one place, proceeds to a remote point with a second, retraces his steps, before he can deliver a third, returns to repair an omission, and then performs a transit which might have been saved altogether by a little forethought. Thus it requires two days to perform the business of one. The man who has thoroughly mastered the lesson, "a place for everything, and ever thing in ita place," will savea world of time. He lo;es no leisure seeking for the unanswered letter or the last receipt; he doe3 not need to travel the same road twice, and hence it is that some of the busiest men have the least of a busy look. Instead of slamming doors and knocking over children in their headlong hurry, they move about deliberately and carefully, without any expression of haste, anxiety and tumult; for they have made their calculations, and know they have ample time to fulfil every dutj and every engagement. Those who live without a plan never have any leisure; for their work is never done, never can be done properly, because the end and right way to it have not been discerned and pursued without deviation, from the beginning. Homeliness. What if you are as homely as a log hut! Don't cry about it. Let gooduffs of j heart make up for outward looks A lady with ! eyes that resembled peeled onions, and a nose as j crooked as a politician's creed a chin like a hoe, ! and mouth that stretches from ear to ear, and opens like a jack knife, will be more repcted and beloved, by those whose opinions it id worth one's pains to secure, if she possess a kind heart and disposition, than if she were as beautiful as Milton a Eve with a cork-screw deposition and heart of lead. The wise never judge from the complex- .... , ion of the ekm, or the symmetry of form, but from the virtue of the heart and a corresponding life. NEwsriPERs. There is not a book bo cheap as a Newspaper: none so interesting, because it consists of a variety, measured out in suitable portions as to the time and quality. Being new every week or day, it invites to habits of reading, and affords an easy way of acquiring knowledge, bo essential to the individual and the community. It causes many hoars to pass away pleasantly and profitably, which would otherwise have been spent La idleness and mischief. A Sxcexst Sarah.
