CYRUS L. DUNI1A3I, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. CO" We have heard rumors of some j three or four cases of cholera to-day. One man, named Taylor, was taken with the disease on Tuesday night, and yesterday it was believed he could not recovei ; but his physician informs us to-day that he is now doing well. There are several other cases, supposed to be cholera, but our information is not from a source sufficiently reliable to warrant its publication. The only fatal case of which we have heard u as that of Mr. Brown, a passenger on the r-ifitner Swiss Boy. 0The readers of the Courier will remember the letter addressed to General Taylor by George Lippard, Esq., of Philadelphia, and which was published in this paper a ehort time since. If Gen. Taylor is not entirely lost to all shame and selfrespect, that letter must have made him regret, and sincerely, too, the unwise, injudicious, and dishonest course which he has pursued toward a very respectable portion of the inhabitants of the United States, who really desired the breaking up cf old party animosities, and who voted for him horn an honest conviction that his election would accomplish that object. But they have been basely deceived. Instead of Gen. Taylor's administration being; such a on as is calculated to produce harmony and good feeling, it has been calculated to arouse party malignity in its very worst forms- There never has before been such a. procriptive administration; and no administration has ever before dared to ap point o many utterly and notoriously in competent and dishonest men to po;,s otrust and resnonsibilitv. In hnnrfrP.U nf cases applicants who possessed the qualifications men who were competent and honest of his own parly have been refused places, and the favors which they sought have been given to men whose character and qualifications did not entitle them to a respectable consideration. A deceived people, however, are beginning to discover the monstrous fraud that has been practiced. In every part of the country the honest no-party men are coming out, and telling jGen. Taylor and his supporters of their evil-doings. We give j Ll. , , . U f .U, K ...... r. ' that JMr. Lippard was not alone, either in being deceived or in discovering the fraud which was practiced upon him. Read it, aP'l see if it does imt give indications that the end of Tavlorism is cloje at hand: K.noxville, Crawford Co., Ga. ,) June 2 J, 1549. $ Sir; In my last Union, I noticed a letter from you addressed to President Taylor, which breaths nought but a spirit of unalloyed patriotism. Like jou, I, as well as thousands of the democrats of Georgia, was induced to give the "Hero of Buena Vista" my support, by the syren-song of noparty. I have a letter in my hands from Gen Taylor, which utterly repudiates the entire political creed of the whig party proper. And upon the strength of the declarations therein contained, 1 not only voted for him, but advocated his lection publicly ia almost every county in the "ow deT and poignant must , e my regret, when I see him shrinking from the ! ,0n, ,u..kUi mi piecges, ana suffering himself to be made the mere to A of a bevv nf ,.,(ir,i . t ...

George Lippard, Esq. h-aa laid by for the prcs-eni. The reason for this move is, that the prevailing sickncss throughout the country has completely stopped all traveling, and she has been running for several weeks past at considerable sacrifice to the owners, betides exposing her officers and crew to disease. We are told, also, that the Cincinnati xnd Louisville mail-boats are not mere than h s ! f paving e.pense.

editor of the Whig paper at Evansviile has been appointed Post-master at that town. We notice that in many other places the appointment has been conferred upon Whig editors. How does it happen that our neighbor did not set up his pretensions for the office herel We fciippose, however, he would rather be the "pump-handle" to get favors for others than to insist upon bis own rights to aehare of the favors now being dispensed by the

i man who has "no friends to reward." The I editor of the Banner is clear of one insin uation that is, in justice and truth, urged against some of his more favored brethren, and which is, that their appointments are made for the purpose of subsidizing the press which they nominally control. An Outfit. The Washington Union says that the collector of the port of San Francisco and his family have thirty-two horses, and fourteen wagons, each wagon drawn by six mules making, in all, one hundred and sixteen horses and mules, furnished by the government to transport him and his family to their destination! It computes the cost of sending out him and the two Indian Agents, one for Salt Lake and one for Santa Fe, at 75,000. Liberal Donation. The Hon. James Buchanan has given to the city of Lancaster, in trust, the sum of $t,Q00, to remain as a perpetual fund, the interest of w hich to be annually expended in the purchase of fuel for the use of poor and indigent females, of that city, during inclement winter seasons. fjr7What has become of the Whig can didate for Lieutenant-Governor! We have not yet heard of his making a speech, or proposing to do so. He probably thinks that, inasmuch as his chances for success are so slim, U will not justify the expendituieof much money or labor in the canvass. If such be his opinion, it is the most sensible one we ever heard of him entertaining. t? We learn by a telegrapic dispatch from Philadelphia, that the brig Ida, from Kingston, Jamaica, arrived at that port on the morning of the the 26th inst., with fourteen California passengers, via Chagres, ! and $300,000 worth of gold. Some of the lumps weigh seven pounds, There were rePrted Philadelphia, on the 26th, seventy cases of cholera and ten deaths. for" A man named Peter Brown, from Pittsburgh, died of cholera this morning, on the steamer Swiss Boy. It is said the deceased was formerly a foreman in Blackstock's factory, in Allegheny City, where he has a wife residing.

No serious consequences are apprehended, as there is not enouch of either talent or energy about him to do any hurt. Wheat Rust. The Cincinnati Globe learns from a farmer who lives near that city, that most of the river crops of wheat have been blighted this season. iCrVigorous efforts are about to be made in New York, to suppress the Sunday liquor trade. The Virginia Gold Mines. The editor of the Fredericksburg News has been reiuested by one of the proprietors of the White Hall Gold jine lo contradict the statement made in a late teleeraphic despatch from that place that j7000 had been obtained in one day. No such amount of gold has ever been obtained in one day since the m:na WBa npneH. The editor adds ! r , . . . ' "In 'I i od as exciting a suspicion as to the value of tins mine, u 11 mecomrarv , we orei tuuuucui uu mine in this State hts been worked with the same success. In the last fouror five months, $50,000 have been received at the cost of some $6,000. The costs we learn, are about $60 per day, while j the receipts vary from $100 to 1000." j CT The Fort Kearney correspondent of the M- Louis Republican says that there had past j mai P'nt4b0 wagons on the 25th of May. 3Sl I 0Q the ptk. and on the 30th of May and 1st of jJune 470 more, making in all that had passed jthat rort. up to June 2d. 4.403. There had been a great deal of rain on the plains, which made the progress of the enigrants slow. The Rifle Regiment en route for Oregon, was expected to arrive at the Fort on the 2d inst.

FOREIGNERS IN CALIFORNIA. AvnciriTxa trocbles. Mr James Loring ef Cincinnati, who went to California some months ego, and who retarned on the Crescent City, and ia now ia New York City, has furnished the Courier of that place, with a long and interesting narrative of matters and things in California. From his account, there is a very bad feeling existing there, between the Americans and foreigners, and bloodywork between them is anticipated. Mr. Loring says: 'The Yankees had already taken steps towards organising themselves into a Native American Association ,and it is said that upon the arrival of large bodies of the Americans, who were understood to have sailed from various parts of the United States during the months of January and February, they were determined to drive every foreigner outof the country, at every hazard. Although they are now greatly out-numbered, 6till the Americans are far better armed than the foreigners, nearly all of them having revolvers and other arms, and are, besides, far superior to thera in physical, mental and moral qualities. Mr. Loring tells that they are determined to massacre the whole population, rather than submit to their insolence and competition. ' In this connection we publish from the New York Tribune the following letter from a New Yorker in the Naval service in the Pacific, to his brother in New York. It seems from these and other like statements that a bad feeling is growing up among the Americans in California to the foreigners pouring in there, which may produce unfortunate strifes: San Francisco, May 1, 1849. You know as much from the public press about California as I can tell you. Ships aredaily coming in here, but none going out; and foreigners are coming in here by hundreds. Even men-of-war bring passengers. This should be stopped. Our Government must stop it, or there, will be much bloodshed here yet. I, for one, if I become a citizen, as I am a landholder, will assist to drive them from the mines at the point of the bayonet it must come to that. We want no regulars here, for they all run but out of all the deserters from this squadron I do not know of but one American. Gold is plentiful, but it is hard work to get it. It is very cold here. All seem to be engrossed with that one selfish motive, viz: all for gold. I say, stop these foreigners from coming here, and do it by force at once. It must be done, it can be done, it will be done and if the Government don't do it, the people will. They only want the authority they have the means. Let our young mechanics come, but let them bring the rifle as well as the axe. Be organized, and drive these thieves from this land. No doubt some abler pen than mine has already been devoted to this task, if not, God help this country ! for anarchy and confusion most confounded will yet prevail. You may hear other statements from gratified, avaricious men, but mine is a cool calm reflection, and from conversation of those who believe what I have written (the cry is all for gold) and I believe that yet this country will be the scene of such a strife as never yet took place in any civilized land. I say let all true-hearted Americans come, then but they must have the nerve to undergo much privation. We sail for the Islands soon, and will return here about July next. I hope you don't think of coming here. Do not, for God's sake. Stop in a Christian land. John has not nerve enough for this place. I do not care who sees this letter, only keep my name from them . An English frigate is here, and she is under martial law guns loaded, double sentries, Sec. and no doubt you will see a piece in the B. itish papers of the brave Bulls who would not desert their country's flag for the filthy lucre; but if the line-of-battle 6hip Ohio was not here, I believe Her Majesty would lose her ship by mutiny, for

I the Bui's are not so stupid as not to know the j difference of $5 per month and $100 per month for sailors. 'U The Maysville Eagle, speaking of the prospects of the wheat crop in that vicinity, says: "The ravages of the rust ia this county are unparalleled the wheat for miles around Washington having been almost entirely destroyed. Mr: Briton Chandler, who sowed 110 acres, and other farmers who expected similar large crops, will not cut their wheat at all, and may not even saTe enough for seed. "We have not heard from all parts of the county." ILr" Gen. Taylor was elected President by the votes of more than half of the people of the United States. Daily Advertiser. No sir there were one hundred and fifty thousand more votes cast fer others than for Gen. Taylor at the last election. He neither received a majority of the popular vote at the ballot boxes, or a majority of the States in the electoral college. Boston Post. O" A lump of California gold as large as a man's hand was received at the mint in Philadelphia on Wednesday. It weighs 81 ounces, and is valued at $1,450. The Pennsylvanian learns that the deposites of gold at the mint continues to be Urge, and are increasing in amount. O In two days there were slain in New York City, agreeably to law, 226 dogs. A negro killed no less than thirty in one day, receiving 15 for his day's work. We should like to hear of a dozen such men, earning that much daily in this city by a similar pursuit.

The way thet lies bug thk cut General. An instance is related cf the appointment of Navy Agent at Washington, which shows how

much knowledge the antomatoa possesses cf the transactions of his keepers. It appears that the leading whigs in the district of Columbia were united and quite zealous for the apDointment of

a Mr. Linthicuni for that station, but became sud- I daT- This includes interments in three cemedenly startled with a report that ' Mr. Lathrop ! taries for forty-eight hours. Of the whole"hnmhad succeeded. The Mavor of Georgetown was ! ber of deaths, one hundred and sixteen were Irish

- deputed to tne "second Washington," who replied to him in these words: "You can assure your friend, Mr. Linthicum, that he has received the appointment of Navy Agent." The General honestly believed what he said, but the fact appeared otherwise, for the next day the commission appointing Lathrop was issued, coutainiug the President's signature. He signsd a whole batch at a time, without knowing whose names were contained therein, or what offices they were to fill. What a fool for such a Cabinet! The falsehood acknowledged. The Republic the real organ, par excellence, of this pretended no-party President comes out boldly and claims Gen. Taylor as the whig President, and says, in plain terms, that all he said in his letters and his inaugural about honesty, fidelity, and capacity, was idle ridiculous gammon palpably absurd and false that he has put out the incum bents of ofBce for opinion's sake, and that he will continue to do so. Thus, at the very outset, does the new organ stamp upon Gen. Taylor the burning brand offalsehod and hypocrisy, and consign him to the merited scorn and contempt of every honest man. What will the whig press say now to removals for cause! Will they, after this, dare to blacken with their foul insinuations the characters of their pre-deterrnined victims? If so, we would place a whip in the hand of every man, "to lash the rascals naked through the land." Baltimore Argus. A Removal Explained. We find the following good one in the Detroit Free Press: It is said that, after Hawthorne was removed, a whig remonstrated with Taylor, telling him that he was not a politician but a popular literary rr- 1 1 . 1 u ! u . writer. Ialor asked what book he ever wrote. The reply was that his most popular work was entitled "twice told tales." "That's the man," said Taylor. "Clayton told me about it." "But the book is a literary work, not political" said his friend. "Why," said Taylor, "Clayton said he had arranged my pledges before election with my practice after, and entitled them 'the twice told tales.' " 07" Alfred Bishop, recently deceased in New Haven, disposed by will of an estate valued at one million of dollars. He gave liberally to his near relations, as well as to others who had been unfortunate in business. These donations ranged from $15,000 down to a few hundreds. $3000 to the American Bible Society; $5000 to the Female Benevolent Society of Bridgeport, and an annuity of $1C0 to be paid by his widow during her life to the Rev. Dr. Hewitt. The residue of his estate he gave to his wife and children, to be divided according to the statute of ConnecticutAppropriate. It is said that old Zack will send Abbot Lawrence as minister to England, and W C. Rives to France. Thtse appointments are very appropriate. Abbot Lawrence for his love of beef, high tariff, and royalty, should of course go to England, and Billy Rives, who has the hap- . acu.ty of wheeling about and jumping about and alwavs hVhtin? on his feet should j?o to France. Old Zack is a very funny man. Gosheu Dem. The present government of Rome has ordered all the property of the King of Naples in the Roman territory, to be sequestered and sold the proceeds to be applied to repairing the inf r o juries inflicted on Roman citizens, and to prove to the world that the Roman Republic is actuated solely by a desire to secure her own liberties.
