" Madison, Thursday evening at 7.,' " " South Hanover, Ftiday Aug. 3, afl " jj-The Louisville Democrat says that the Whig Review, the organ, par excellence, of the party, contains in the July number a review of Washington's administration, the chief object of which is to exalt Hamilton and disparage Jefferson. It is genuine Federalism, undisguised. What the organ will do with the second Washington we cannot tell; for he, in his letter to Ingersoli, professed, in shocking bad English, to be a disciple of Jefferson in particular. (7The following beautiful specimen of spoil-hunting, by a prominent member of the "spoils-hating" Whig party, we clip from the Cincinnati Enquirer. That this applicant is possessed of the "pre-requi-sitee," no one wto reads his letter to Mr. Eiough will doubt. The "fast of the last twenty years" has sharpened the perceptive faculties of the Whigs, and endowed them with some of the qualities of the hound, which enables them to follow up a cold scent with a promptness that shames that noble animal : Cincinnati, July 9, 1849. John Brough, Esq. Dear Sir : Mr. informed me a few days since that you had recently held some post under the late administration, not 6ince filled, and urged me to apply for it. He could not tell what it was, but said it had pomething to do with the examination of accounts of the public officers of the General Government in Ohio. Will you be good enough to advise me whether you held any such office, what its duties, whether a regular or only a temporary situation, and what its emoluments? I would not trouble you to answer this, but I can find no one here who can inform me on the subject. Very respectfully, &c. MR. BROUGH'S REPLY. Madison, Julv 16. 1S49 Dear Sir : I held no office or appointment j under the late administration of the general government whatever. At the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, I made the annual examination of the office of Surveyor of the Port of Cincinnati, and reported thereon, which occu pied me some eight or ten days. I really rerreAhat there are not office onh f to "go round" under this "no-party" administra- I tion; and that I cannot put you upon the scent of a portion of "spoils" adequate to your services, and belonging to you, of course, as one ; of the "victora" iu the fight. j Very resoectfullv ' J NO BROUGH I tyjiTi T. ; i (tzrihe New Telegraph Line, between j Cincinnati and Toledo, via Ind iauapolis, commenced working through to Toledo on I Friday last.

Another Crevasse. The Point Coupee Echo, of the 7th inst., says: "Strange as it mav seem at the present low stage of the

river, whica is several feet within its banks, yet a crevasse has taken place near the i mouth of False river, througn whichavoli ume of water, eome three feet deep and j two hundred wide, is now passing. For the distance of about three quarters of a mile above the lower mouth of False river, the land is low and of a light, sandy, alluvial nature, having been deposited in the former bed of the Mississippi since the cutoff of 1812.. The whole of this space has been rapidly caving in for several years past. The front proprietors have been nearly ruined?by the loss of their crops and the heavy expense of making and keeping in repair enormous levees; and some will, no doubt, abandon their places rather than be at any further expense. There remains but about five acres in depth, between the Mississippi and what ia called the bay. When that is gone, the river must thiow a great portion of its waters into its aucient channel of Falsa river, for it will then be impossible to build a dyke or levee across the bay. The water thus coming from the Mississippi will find an outlet through the various bayous passsing out of False river. The parish of Point Coupee will receive but little injury from this change in the course of a portion of the river, as has been proved by the late high water. Portions of West Eaton Rouge and Iberville, and other contiguous parishes below, will be completely deluged. The Difference. Whig editors are expected to advocate their party principles with zeal, and to call the Democrats Locofocoes, rats, plunderers, &c, ice. But as soon as a Democratic editor shows the least zeal in the Democratic cause, his Whig patrons become quite indignant. We have been visited by a mild elderly gentleman who, we have no doubt, "hates and loathes proscription" as much as Gen. Taylor or Mi. Crittenden, who requested us to stop his paper. We are a Democrat, and nothing else; and the sooner the patronage that expects us to barter our reputation and the good cause to secure it, leaves us, the better for us and the Democratic party. We want to know how many proscriptionists there are in Madison. 0"ln consequence of a dispute among the medical men at St. Pelerburgh, Russia, respecting the contagious or non-contagious character of cholera, the Czar adopted the following method to decide the question: Four murderers, sentenced to death, were put on beds lately occupied by foui cholera patients, who had died; and yet the murderers did not take the disease. It was then announced to the murderers that they were about being placed in beds on which four persons had died of malignant cholera, and that if they escaped the disease their lives, would be spared; but instead of cholera beds they wete put on beds J which had never been occupied by any I diseased persons, and yet such was the efi feet of fear that the four died within three ays-07-The store of Shillito & Co., on Fourth street, Cincinnati, was entered on Friday night, and robbed of about twenty dollars.

From the Pennsyhramaa. Ttie Parallelism of Adinitiistra tioixs. "The reason, Sancho," said his master, "why thou feelest that pain all down thy back is, that the stick which gave it the was of length to that extent.' . "Signor," (replied Sancho,) "if lam not qualified for that government, I renounce it from henceforward forever, amen. As to this scheme of the government, for my own part, I know no more of the matter than a bustard." To this address Sancho replied, "Assuredly those judges who sent you to me might have spared themselves the trouble; for I am a man that may be said to be rather blunt than acute; nevertheless, repeat the business; and who knows but by chance, I may hit the nail on the head." "The poor governor endeavored to move, but down he came to the ground, with such a fall that ha believed himself split to pieces." Don Qulxotte. Tha renowned Sancho Panza, whose life and adventures are well known through the chronicles of Cervantes, was brought up to a peculiar profession. Out of the range of its duties, ho never troubled himself; and especially as to political government, according to his own account, he knew no more "than a bustard." Notwithstanding his confessed ignorance in such a matter, owing to the fame which he had acquired by certain exploits under his former master, and also by his "proverbial philosophy" which was thickly larded with promises, certain potential people, in a fit of humor or caprice, made him the President or Governor of an Island. But alas for poor Sancho ! His chief advisers were,

some of them, forced upon him, and others had been the enemies of the glory and welfare of the Island. As to his subordinate officers, either through fear or inclination, he violated every promise he had made, so that his proverbial philosophy turned out naught. Sorely puzzled how to decide civil matters, he committed a series of blunders, causing mingled indignation and laughter. He could neither eat, walk, nor talk, without permission of his doctor, steward, or others of his household. At last, he had "such a fall." His subjects, wearied with his administration, at a proper time rose, and with a stick of appropriate length, furnished by the folly of his conduct beforehand, so drubbed him ''all down the back," that Sancho was forced fo mount his Old White Dapple, and leave the government to some other and more competent head. Alas poor Sancho'. such was thy history! The worthy Governor's Administration, of the Spanish chronicler, has its parallel in a certain President's administration of the present day. The President, like Sancho, was brought up to one profession exclusively. Outside of that, he claimed to be ignorant, "rather blunt (rough) than acute." He knew the division of a battle, but had never voted, and proclaimed openly his utter incompetence as to civil affairs; in other words, stating that as to the management of government, like his great prototype, ho "knew no more of the matter than a bustard." H performed certain exploits under the order of his commander, a previous President, which gave him notoriety. He thereupon exhibited his "proverbial philosophy," promising that if he were made to hold a corresponding position with that of the Spanish Governor, he would be the President of the people, and not of a party, would proscribe no man for opinion's sake, with other like sayings, all of which, through fear or inclination, he has disregarded, contrary to his official dignity Among his chief advisers, the members of bis cabinet, are those who were lately opposed to the cause of their country, and the Mexican war, without th existence of which he would now be at the head of his marching regiment. His advisers hardly suffer him to call his official life his own, and bothered with the sage questions which come before him, bis administration makes the most horrible but ludicrous blunders, ail of which only the "ultra ' whig press are ready to applaud, like the interested islanders of Sancho. In the case of Sir John Franklin, the administration "marry one that knows the aw, go to" grandiloquently announced to Lady Franklin and the world that it would that it would send vessels to seek the missing mari ner. Sancho-like, it received great praiee in certain quarters. But it found out that it could not, President-like, fulfil its promises, for reasons much akin to those relating to the demand for the return of the celebrated coppar kettle. They were 1st. It was too late to do it. 3d. It had no vessels fit to send- 3d. The Constitution and laws do not authorize the thing to be done. Profound Sanchoism! In the case of the German steamer, the "United States," contrary to the general feeling and sympathy, "sharp" was the word. She must not become the property of a foreign nation at war with another, and go with hostile in.ent, even in aid of the cause of human liberty no, marry, that was the law. Well, t so be it. If it be so. where did the President and the administration find the saving clause to enable them to take a miserable individual bond in a paltry sum of a few thousand dollars, irrecoverable and not worth the paper it occupied, and then suffer the steamer to go, trth L'ie same hostile intnii, and with the German national flag ; frying at her mast-head ? Splendid and sagacious j Sanchoism! If thee "shadows before" indicate 1 the policy or the wisdom of the ''coming events" of the national adninistrahon, it is cutting a stick for itself quite proportioned to the length of iti back, which, in due time, will be u?ed for the

purpose of merited castigation, and Sancho lib; it will "come to the ground with such a fall" that it will be "split to peice." We will close with another passage of the inimitable chronicler : "I do not understand thee.Sanchor, (said Ricote) but every thing thou bastspoken seems mere madness; for who would give thxk Islands to gcrern, when there is plenty of men in the wbrtd to much more capable of governing Viait thou? LATER FROM MEXICO. United States Train attacked by the Indians. The New Orleans Crescent of the 12th has a letter from Corpus Christi, dated July 3d, giving the important intelligence that a train of United States wagons had been attacked between Saa Antonio and the Eagle Pass, twenty miles above Presidio Rio Grande, and thirteen teamsters killed, but one escaping. The Indians took off all the mules. A company of flying artillery arrived at Laredo on their way to Leona, but on the 27th ult. they were ordered back to Rio Grande City. The citizens of Laredo, however, persuaded the officer in command to remain there until an answer could be received from General Harney, to whom expresses had been sent with a request to have the company permanently stationed at Laredo. The writer says: "Our neighbors on the Mexican side of the river (Rio Grande) are in a state of great excitement. Paredes has pronounced fof Santa Anna. The Mexican troops are all ordered away from the line, and the National Guard has been ordered from the frontier to Victoria1 A revolution is about to break out, having for its object the declaration of independence this side of the Sierra Madre." We believe the above news to be authentic. CTThe capital of the St. Louis Insurance Company has been increased by subscription to about $300,000, and it has again resumed business. The capital of the Company, under which it has been in successful operation for several years, was $100,000. The great fire not only annihilated this capital, but left the Company with liabilities to tha amount of $100,000. It was

necessary that this sum should be made up, and paid, or a forfeiture of the charter was unavoidable. The friends of the Company determined to increase the stock to an amount greatly beyond aggregate liabilities. St. Louis Repub. The Crevasse. Ala meeting of the joint committee upon the crevasse, held at the office of the Mayor of New Orleans, on the 11th, an exhibit was made to the members of the committee of the expenses incurred in stopping the crevasse whole amount $91,746,84 with the exception of some few accounts not yet handed in, which, It wai 6 la ted, might swell the amount to $96,000. The Divided Executive. "Old Zack" a slavery man with his 300 human beings in bondage. "Old Whitey" a free-soiler, the champion of green pastures. The vote in the cabinet still in doubt Gen. Taylor's route to the north will be through the cities of Baltimore, York, Lancaster, Harris burgh, ice. Boston TranscriptGen. Taylor's "route" this spring was through the States of Virginia, Connecticut, and New Hampshire; and we apprehend his summer "route" will be through Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, 5cc. &.c O Dr. Kilbourne, of New York, directs the following course of action when a person is sun struck : Place the patient on his back, in ahorizontal po sition give him fresh air; keep him well covered and warm; apply cold water to his head hot bricks sand, tc, to his feet and around him frictions mustard to the pit of the stomach and extremities. Internally give stimulants as brandy, ether, ammonia, capsicum, &c. As the danger always is great, the cas should be entrusted to a physician, who is qualified to act understandingly in any emergency. O" " The Turks have a touching custom when the plague rages very greatly, and a thousand corpses are carried out daily from Stamboul thro' the Adrianople gate to the great groves of cypress I wnicn rise over me Dunai grounds beyondthe wall. At times of trouble and grief, such as these, the Sheikh Ul Islam causes all the little children to be assembled on a beautiful greea hill, called the Oc Maiden the place of Arrows and there they bow down upon the ground, and raise their innocent voices in supplication to the Father of Mercies, and implore his compassion on the aSicted city-" Boston Journal. !D"Tt is time our young ladies dropped the old plan of referring the boys to their paternal relative, on receiving an offer sf marriage.
