Fayette, Mo. July G'h. Cholera In the town of Chariton about 14

on Monday the 7th inst. and in four or hve days

in a population of about one hundred, there

were ten or twelve cases and tour death; two slaves the property of John Moore, one belong

ed more unhealthy than any other in this part

of the state the people generally left the v ill -

age, and we hare heard ef no new cases for se

veral days.

In Old Franklin, 15 miles South , one slave,

the property of Isaac Geaihait, is raid to have.

died on Friday last; although some attribute his death to great exctlion in the un for several successive hours, and an over portion of ice wa-

on his return to Ohio. Two citzens of Clay co.

IliLLSBOP.ocuu , July 25. Cholera. We have received through the

Cincinnati Gazette, a repoit from the Board of

Health for the town of Fulton, Hamilton county

From this it appear, that between the 4th and 1 7th of this month, 29 deaths have occurred

by Cholera. The town of Fulton contain 1051

inhabitant and is & continuous street from the

corporation line of Cincinnati , for two miles up

the river. Fourteen of the deaths took place in

three houses. In most of the cases, the houses

are low, dirty huts; two or three families crowd ed in the same apartment.

In Cincinnati for the week ending on the 1 6th

inst. 55 deaths are reported as the total mortal

lity of the city, from all diseases, excepting the

Catholic burying ground. Of the number, 15

are reported of Cholera.

The Ohio Sun of Wednesday, notices the death of Mr. John Ely, of Newton who died in

Batavia on Sunday last. He had been active a mong the sick at Newtown, and felt the premon

itory symptoms before he left there By the

time he reached Batavia, (10 miles,) he was

cramped medical aid was called, in vain in

six hours he was a corpse.

The village was thrown into confucion by the

jevent; but no deaths had taken place.

We have rumors that it is prevailing with

t:o!iii!f .il.ifi malignity at Milford and along the

Little ijiami, at Ripley, and at Mayeville; but these rumor are not entitled to much credit.

Its progress will be carefUly noted. Gaz,

Cholera. The Marietta Gazette, of the 1 9th states as the rumor of the day, that 40 CaSCS of Cholera had OCCuttvl ot Cincinnnti of which 9 were fatal; one case at Maysville ten at Richmond, fifteen at Letart Falls, nine of which were fatal; and deaths continue to occur on board steamboats, that are no doubt Cholera.

The Sentinel of yesterday says " Oi Saturday last, Robert Austin and Bcvjamin lull, said to be from Buncombe county, N. C, were apprehended and committed to the jail of this county, on a charce

of pasins counterfeit pieces in imitation of

silver half dollars, li e have understood that several of our citizens were imposed upon by these individuals. There were some other persons in company with them, who have made their escape. among them an aged man, believed to he the father of Austin, who, the dny previous, passed a counterfeit ten dollar hill, on the Bank of Virginia. They were in company of two wagons, and the part of the gang who escaped crossed the bridge, arc probably on their return to Hnncombo through Sooth Carolina. The coins hear the date of 1820, and arc said to he well cakuiated to deceive. The public should be on the look out." Georgia Constitutional iit .

NATIONAL SINS what are they t By national eins are meant those which

may be fairly attributed to a whole community or nation, collectively.

W henever any sins become the known and ack ro wledged characteristic of a people, they

may justly be called their national tins.

If intemperance, for example, or lacivolsness, or oppression, generally prevail among a people, insomuch that the people are char acterized by them, then those sins may be considered as national sins. Whatever sins ate generally connlenanccd and upheld by the ''public sentiment" of a people, or are palliated by the leading influences in the church Or the state, may em phatically be denominated na'ional sins. Especially do sins become national sins

when sanctioned and sustained by the laws,

and when legislative enactments are framed to discourage and prevent their relinquish ment. Finally, whenever it becomes unpopular and odious to reprove and oppose prevailing sins4 and when those who faithfully do this are denied the liberty of speech and of the press, and assailed in their persons and property, then, most emphatically, do those sins become public sins, and the nation is made responsible for their continued existence. Emancipator,
