TCC3DA1 EFlCJ.jrLY 3, 1840. U12.T10CKATIO KOMIXATIOM, FOE GOVERNOR, JOSEPH A. WRIGHT, Of PARKE COUNTY. FOR LlEt'TEXAKT GOVERNOR, JAMES H. LANE, OS DEARBORN COUNTY. TOR CONGRESS, SECOND DISTRICT, CYRUS L. DUNHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. O To-morrow being the Fourth, there will be no paper issued from this ofSce, as we feel too patriotic to work on Independence Day. OtT The whole number of burials in Springdale and Madison cemeteries during the month of June, was 10S, viz. In Springdale cemetery, 82; in Madison cemetery, 16. Of the burials in Springdale, 38 died from cholera, and 56 from other diseases: of these, 31 were under four years of age. In Madison cemetery the report does not show the ages; but of the number interred, f died from cholera, and ten from other diseases. CFThe country does not seem to be exempt from cholera. We have heard of several deaths at points along the river that are usually tegarded as healthy. The smaller town between Louisville and Cincinnati, thus far, with one or two exception, have escaped. There is a rumor in town to-day, that in Aurora yesterday there were eleven deaths, and fourteen cases, very few of which, in the opinion of attending physicians, could possibly recover. We cannot vouch for the correctness of this statement, but previous advices from that place would seem to warrant a belief in the truth of the report. We also learn, from good authority, that the country in the vicinity of this city has not escaped the malignity of the disease; and, indeed, the fatality seems to be greater than in the city. We understand that in one house, on last Thursday, two persons died from cholera; on Friday, two others were taken with the disease, and died in a few hours; and on Saturday evening, another person died in the same house making, in all, five deaths from cholera in one one family within thiee days! We regret to add, that this is not regarded as an isolated instance of the fatality of the disease in the country surrounding our city. O" What has become of all that Whig howling abouf'ma'l irregularities!" Within three months past our papers have failed oftener, our letters have been delayed longer, and we have seen more notices of mail depredations, than during any preceding twelve months. Now, what is the cause of this! There is either gross neglect or insufferable ignorance somewhere in the management of the Department. IT" We are toKi that the principal ground upon which Mr. Dunn rests his claims to a seat in Congress is, that Gen. Taylor's principles should be sustained. Now, it so happens that Gen. Taylor has had but two principles one of which was, falsifying every pledge made before the election; and the other, turning every Democrat out of office. We hardly think that Mr. Dunn would be willing to confront the present outraged feelings of the people of this nation, in attempting to sustain 6uch utter want of veracity on the part of Gen. Taylor, or in endeavoring to excuse his vindictive and bitter proscription. Sustain the principles of Gen. Taylor! Gen. Taylor has no more idea of governmental policy than his old horse Vhitey" has of the quality of the metal of which his bridle-bit is composed. "Wbitey'' goes whichever way his leader pulls the reins, his master could not do much less, and he certainly does but little more, even according io the showing of the Taylorites themselves. OSrThe Salem" News says that the ladies are all for Dunn. That may be; but the men are all for Dunham and the difference consists in the fact that, while the ladies do not enjoy the right of suffrage, the me ix do. ETA man died from the biie of a locust near Pittsburgh, last Friday. ETWashing'.on Irving is understood to be engtged oa his Life of M&hommed.

(rTbe Senior Editor of this paper received, Inst week, a letter from a brother-in-law who is on his way, by the overland route, to California. This letter is dated at "Fort Kearney (three hundred miles from St. Joseph), May 23' He describes the traveling as very Rood, they being able to average about thirty miles peg? day. The country is entirely barren of timber, except upon the borders of water-courses; and even there, it is of small growth. Nearly two thousand persons were in the vicinity of the Fort; and no fears were entertained of the Indians. So great was the emigration, that there wa3 one continuous line for miles, and he feared that those in the rear would have difficulty in procuring grass for their cattle. The writer of the letter went out with a party from Rising Sun. He states, however, that they are now traveling with the company from this city. This letter is written chiefly upon private business; but we are promised one that will give us a description of the country, cc, for publication. fjThe fine packet, Madison Belle, continues her trips regularly between this city and Cincinnati. Charley David, for a long time pilot on the Wisconsin, has command, Wright having concluded that the fresh, pure air of Switzerland county was quite as healthful as the noxious gasses and vapors of Cincinnati's wharf and pent-up streets. Mr. Markley retains his post in the office, and Messrs. Steele and Robinson guide the Beauty in her journeying between the shoals and sand-bars. With such officers, passengers are safe from all the harms that human power can avert, and should sickness lay hold on them, they will receive the attention of kind and sympathizing gentlemen, who will spare no pains to alleviate their sufferings, and do every in their power to restore them to health. In times like the present, such are the men to travel with. O We saw a letter the other day from one of the largest grocery houses in Cincinnati, in which tbe writer said: "We would not advise any of our friends to visit the city at this time, because the cholera is prevailing to an alarming extent, and its attacks are remarkably sudden and singularly fatal. Temperance, good habits, and even extreme caution, do not seem to avail anything.'' Such is the advice of candid and honorable business men to their country customers.

IX A man was recently fined ten dollars by a jury in Bartholemew county, for putting logs across the railroad track, thereby endangering the lives of passengers. That must have been a very intelligent jury, and they must put great value on human life in that county 07-It is stated by the municipal authorities of New Orleans, that the expenses incurred in stopping the Sauve Crevasse exceed $80,000. 07-The Cincinnati Commercial learns that the widow of ex-President Harrison is lying, at her residence, North Bend, very low with the cholera. 0We learn that the small-pox is prevailing to a consideiable extent in Jeffersonville, and that the authorities are doing nothing to prevent its spread. Wonder if the Board of Health for that town is not composed of physicians. OThe Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger say3 that Mr. Clay is expected there on or about the 10th of next month. OCT The Cincinnati Commercial states that the number of cholera deaths from the 2d to the 30:h of June, have been 1,098; Irom other diseases, 625. CTSarah E. Suerret has been removed from the post-office at Howard, Pa. Cauie: "She took an active part in politics, and was a brawling locofoco." DMr. Stetson, of the Astor House, New York, is about to go to St. Petersburg, Rus- ! eia, and set up an elegant hotel in that city. CO" Sheridan Knowles, the dramatist, has entered the church. He is preaching in London. 0"The three popular English novelists are, Bulwer, aged forty-nine years; Dickens, thirty-eight ; and Thackary, fortyeight. Mrs. Partington says that a man fell down the other day in an applejack fit and that his life was extirpated.

From the N. O. Picayune, 23d ull. FROM MEXICO AND CALIFORNIA. We have recelyed intelligence through the politeneea of Mr. James B. Weller, who came pasecjer on the British ateamer Clyde from Vera Cruz. The news he communicates of affair la San Francisco reaches to the ISth May, the precise date of the letter pabliahed in the Tepic Gaviota, in which the story of Gen. Smith's flight from the Insurgent in California ia recorded. In ?flr. Weller'a narrative we find not a word corroborative of this painful intelligence, and therefore conclude it is entirely unfounded. Mr. Weller left the city of Mexico on the 13th of Jane. Revolutions were continually talked of. Herrera'a Government was daily growing unpopular, and a general desire was expressed for Santa Anna's return, the masses assigning for a cause that money was always more plenty under his administration. A party of foreigners had just returned to the city of Mexico from California, having left San Francisco on the ISth of May. They reported the country in a miserable condition, and both life and property unsafe. The rainy season had set in, and the placers were covered with water; everything was more plentiful than gold dust. Goods are almost as cheap as in the United States. A survey has just been completed of the Tehauntepec route for a railroad across the Isthmus, for Sen. Don Jose, who has obtained the sole right from the government of Mexico. The report is very favorable. Sen. Garay is now in the United States trying to get up a joint stock company, for the purpose of immediately commencing the road. The projected telegraph from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico is abandoned.

Honest Mr. Smith. A correspondent of the New Haven Courier, writing from Washington, says the arrival of "honest old Truman" in that city is quite refreshing. If such "honesty" as Truman's is refreshing, what must be the quality of that possessed by the Administration? The contrast reminds Osborn, of the New Haven Register, of an eccentric gentleman, who was once travelling East with his family carriage, the inmates of which were continually obliged to 'hold their noses,' in passing fields strewn with white fish much to his annoyance. Al laBt they came to a point in the road where a skunk had been killed, and the old gentleman drew the reins and came to a halt. "Oh!" said he, drawing a long and hearty snuff, "this is refreshing! We must stop and enjoy this!" Whether it was most complimentary to the skunk or the white fish, is as dubious as the discrimination of the whigs in Washington. Detroit Free Press. Heavy damages. Charles G. Graham, publisher of a paper in New York called the 'Scorpion,' has been mulcted in 10,0Q0 damages, for a libel on Dr. Hanners. A writ of Habeas Corpus was served on Dr. H. a few weeks since, at the instance of Capt. Barney, requiring him to produce the person of Barney's wife; but the Judges, after hearing the testimony of Dr. Hanners, dismissed the case. The Scorpion subsequently contained an article charging him (Dr H.; with getting intimate with Mrs. B , obtaining her jewelry, 5cc. This was the libel complained of. What Success will do. Lord Gough, when he lost his first battle with the Sikhs, was censured from one end of England to the other, and held in such contempt that he was removed in disgrace, and Sir Charles Napier sent to supercede him. He was fortunate enough to fight another battle, and win it in a brilliant manner. The effect was a thorough revulsion of feeling, and instead of standing disgraced, he has been created Viscount Gough, of Goajerat, of the Punjaub, and of the city of Limerick. A circumstance of this kind causes us forcibly to think what would have been the fate of Wellington had he been defeated at Waterloo. A Vetera Officer. Jacob Hays was first appointed Marshal of New York city by Mayor Varrick, 1798. In IS01 he was reappointed by Mayor Livingston, and is now in his 77th year. "Old Hays," as he is familiBrly called, is still High Constable of the city, an office he has held for many years. Cholera Phenomena. In a letter in the New York Post, from Dr. McCall, of Nashville, respecting the ravages of the cholera in that city, it especially remarked that the epidemic there has been attended with an unusual amount of lightning, and appeared to be contageous; the exact contrary, in both particulars, having proved to be the case on the Atlantic seaboard. fj7 Seven hundred and twenty-three funerals have passed the toll-gate on west Front street, below Mill Creek, from the morning of the 1st to the evening of the 30th of June. This we learn from Mr. McGrew, the keeper, who has kept a record, Cin. Com. California Gold. A New York letter of Monday evening says : The consignees of the Crescent City believe that there was about $800,000, in gold and specie, on board, including the amount among the baggage of the passengers, not included in the manifest. It has all been landed and delivered to the owners, and a large part of it is going over to the mint today and to-morrow. This shipment did not clear the Isthmus as I know of several parcels of gold still at Panama.

ANGRY WORDS. Angry words are lightly spoken, In a rash and thoughtless hour, Brightest links of life are broken By their deep insidious power. Hearts inspired by warmest feeling, Ne'er before by anger stirred, Oft are rent, past human healing, By a single angry words. Poison drops of care and sorrow, Bitter poison drops are they, Weaving for the coming morrow, Saddest memories of to-day. Angry words ob, let them never From the tongue unbridled slip; May the heart's beet impulse ever Check them ere they soil the lip! Love is much too pure and holy, Friendship is too sacred far, For a moments reckless folly Thus to desolate and mar. Angry words are lightly spoken, Bitterest thoughts are rashly stirr'd Brightest links of life are broken By a single angry word.

The Choice. A Quaker residing in Paris was waited on by four workmen, in order to make their compliments and ask for their usual New Year's gifts. "Well, my friends, said the Quaker, here are your gifts, choose fifteen francs or the Bible." "I don't know how to read,1' said the first, "so I take the fifteen francs.' "I can read," said the second, "but I have pressing wants." The third also made the same choice. He now came to the fourth, a lad of about fourteen. The Quaker looked at him with an air of goodness. "Will you, too, take these three pieces, which you can attain at any time by your labor and industry." "As you say the book is good, I will take it and read it to my mother," replied the boy. He took the Bible, opened it, and found a gold piece of forty franca. The others hung down their heads, and the Quaker told them he was sorry they had not made a better choice. A certain linen-draper waited upon a lady for the amount of an article purchased at his shop. She endeavored to remind him that she had paid him when he called some time ago. He declared he had no remembrance of the circumstance; on which she produced his receipt. He then asked pardon, and said: "I am sorry I did not recollect it." To which the lady replied: "I sincerely believe you are sorry you did not RE-coIiect it!" Conjugal Solicitude. The following is the most abominable thing we ever read: "How is your wife to-day?" said a friend of ours to a French gentleman. "Oh! moche da sera," said he, "she is no better, and I um 'fmid ver' little wass. If she is gon to die, I wish she would do it soou; I feel so unhappie; my mind is moche unsettled. W'en Bhe die, I 6hall not be so moche dissatisfied!" Foot Race Extraordinary. We learn from the Nashville Gazette that on Saturday last, there was to have been a trial of speed between two gentlemen at White's Creek Springs near Nashvilleone weighing three hundred and seventyfive pounds, the other, two hundred and ninetyfour. They were to run a quarter of a mile for a good supper for six persons. Louisville Courier. A Good Speculation. A Brig in London docks sold at auction to Mr. Scott, a chain lighterman, for 750. Subsequently, whilst undergoing repairs, a sum of 16,000 Spanish dollars of old mintage and pure silver was discovered near the bulk-head. The vessel had been originally in the slave trade, and doubtless this was a portion of the ill-gotten booty. tC7 A bright and beautiful bird is hope! It comes to us mid the darkness and sings the sweetest song when our spirits are saddest; and when the lone soul is weary, and longs to pass away it warbles the sunniest notes, tightens again the slender fibres of our hearts that grief has been tearing away. O" The Puritan Record states that there are now in Massachusetts eight congregational pastors who have preached their Jiflieth anniversary sermons. O"0ne hundred thousand pounds of lead were recently shipped at Little Rock, Arkansas the produce of mines in that neighborhood. The silver mingled with it is estimated as of $ 7,000 value. Eligibly Located. We clip the following from a Western paper: "To rent, a house on Mellow Avenue; located immediately along side of a fine plum garden from which an abundant supply of the most delicious fruit may be stolen during the whole season. Rent low and the greater part taken in plums." Dr. Kidd, of Limerick, speaking of the cholera, saye he has tried every thing, but has fallen back on camphor. The camphor cigars, a lats invention in Paris, are said to be useful in preventing the absorption of the choleretic potaon into the lungs.

Cincinnati, July 31, p. . Business generally is suspended, this being the day appointed by the Mayor to be observed by fasting and prayer, thoughout the city. Whisky is held at an advance. Nothing elae sold. The weather is cool. Rent of Farms in England. Mr. Colman of Boston, who has published a book giving an account of his travels, through the agricultural districts of England, makes the following statements in regard to the rent and value of certain farms in Great Britain: On page 67, vol. I, he speaks of a Mr. Oliver, who pays $5000 per annum for his farm, on a lease of 19 years. "The tables," he says, "of some tenant farmers, who are men of wealth, are covered with silver, and furnished with wine of the most costly character. They took me to visit the farm of a Mr. Hope, in their neighborhood, who also is a tenant, and who has made a rortune 01 sixty thousand pounds, or $300,000 by farming." Ibid. 262, "One farmer had paid a rent of 7000, or $35,000 per year. The farmers here are exceedingly rich and intelligent, in all that concerns their profession. One of the farms on this route, (Scotland,) recently sold for 63,000, or $315,000 cash. I believe it contains not over fire or six hundred acres." Ibid. 72: "On Friday I went to a farm where the farmer pays about $10,000, or 2000, and he and his two brothers, in the immediate neighborhood of each other had eorne three hundred people engaged in harvesting and threshing. I went into a cottage where one of the laborers told me he had lived on the farm more than fifty years; and another said he had been there sixty years. I wonder what our laborers would say to such keeping as the Scotch laborers have, oat porridge and skimmilk or butter-milk for breakfast, apound of bread and a bottle of small-beer at noon, and supper like breakfast, at night, without lunch or any thing else of any kind, and a shilling a day for their labor. "Look here, Pete," said a knowing darkey, "don't stand dar on the railroad." "Why, Joe?" "Kase if de cars see dat mouf ob yours open dey tink it am de depo' an' run rite in." O Young ladies should never object to being kissed by editors and printers. They should make every allowance for the freedom of the press. NOTICE.
