Temperance Meeting.

Letters from Havana to the 29ih ult., states that an epidemic of a choleric nature, stained by the pernicioai fever, was sweeping off tailors, soldiers, negroes and others, with frightful rapidity in the interior of Cuba, .Some estates numbering from two three hundred slaves, had been so reduced in the space of a week, that there were scarcely men enough left to bury the dead. It generally proves fatal in four or five hours. In Havana new comers are alto being attacked. The immense military and other hospitals are crowded with soldiers and sailors, onethird of whom, it is slated, do not recover. The steam frigate Isabel Segunda. whose crew numbers 250 souls, had not 30 hands capable of attending to duly; and the steamer Gen. Lezo had lost 31 out of a crew of 50 men.

Many of the friends of Temperonce in Switzerland county, met at Jacksonville on Saturday last, and the meeting was organized by the choice of Uziel H. Stowe as Chairman, and H. Wabon, as S.ribe, The meeting was well represented from different parts of the county. Several spirited addresses were made. Twenty-five dim friends of the Temperance cause were appointed to represent this county in the State Convention to be held at Madison this week. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted without a dissenting voice:— Whereas, The evils of intemperance are still to be found in every section o( our country, destroying the peace of families, and chilling every avenue to prosperity with a large class of our fellow citizens. Therefore Resolved, That we are as much as ever called upon to labor for the spread of Temperance principles; . Resolved, That it is not only the right, hut the duly of every government to enact laws to protect' the property, lives and morals of its citizens, and that no law could be enacted by our Legislature that would so effectually promote these ends as a law prohibiting the traffic of intoxicating liquors as q beverage, * Jiesolped, That it is our duty louse every iaatjablc effort to secure the election of such persons ip represent us in life Geperal Assembly of Indiana, as arc sound upon the Temperance question. Resolved, That the constitutional right to legislate against such traffic has beep settled by the highest court of the nation, and by long established precedent ip the State of Indiana. U. H.

Temperance Camp Meeting

Mexican Affairs.

The friends of Temperance of Fountain county, held a camp meeting near Covington last week. Hon. L. A. Han nrgait made a speech. The 7\}iits says; *‘(Ie spoke in the open air with all the fire, eloquence and beauty, for which lie has so long been justly celebrated. His voice was exceedingly full ami clear. He look bold ground against not merely the sale of in Indicating liquors, but alsq agaipst llie sale of intoxicating liquor?, but also against the manufacture rr importaion wit|}in the limits.of our State for any purpose whatever. He declared himself ready to vote for the Maine I/iw, In the absence of anything belter, but expressed the belief that nothing short of a total extirpation of the article from the face of ili%eanh would effect the de* aired, object. The splendid his lor teal incidents and allusion? with which the address abounded, and by which Mr. Hannngan enforced h|s arnqmentp, greatly enhanced its beauty and effect, aqd were very characteristic of the speaker.” Mr. IJapnegan is right. So long as die article can be had at the Drug Stores, the work will be but begun. Too many laws are already a dead teller, from the inducement held out to evade tlicrq. For instance, the Militia.Laws were good, when wc were surrounded by hostile Indians; but now, two days training in the year is a tax which few are willing to bear, when no visible good can result from it.- **

On the night of the 24th ult.. the waters burst foith from the mountains which surround the town of Mixeoac, and the river overflowed. The waters burst forth with such force that they bore houses, trees, orchards, and everything that cohid be moved, along in their furious current. Many of the inhabitants perished, and the rest are reduced to a miserable condition. *

The excess of shipments of gold dust for 8 months, over 187-2, is nearly ten millions and a quarter. The Indian hostilities on Rogue river are unchecked. The two men who murdered Mr. Beckwith of Ulcano Diggings, were arrested on the Brother Jonathan just as she was leaving for the Isthmus. Their names are Dutch Harris and James Fox,

An Important Fact.

In conversation'with Captain Baxter, of the El Dorado, recently of the Cherokee, we learned an important fad, which may throw some light on the great mystery of the age—the yellow fever. Capl Baxter left here.with the Ceefohee on the 12 1 h Augtm last, when the epidemic was at its height, with one hundred am) sixtynine passenger*, the majority of whom was un.iccli anted, and liable to yellow fever. When the Cherokee emerged into the Gulf the sea was rough, and the pis?, sengers suffered a great deal from sea sickness. Every one of them was compelled to vomit, and the captain says he never had a more unanimously sick crew. Sonn. however it was ell over, and health vnd hilarity reigned pn hoard, when the yellow fever made its appearance among ihe crew, none of whon; bad suffered from sea sick ness.. During jhe voyage there was ten of the ere w: down with the fever; and on the ijrtral oJT, the Oherpkcn in New York, there being two still sick, they were ordered into the hospital, where one of them diet!; the other recovered. Not one of thp passengers had the fever. They were alt permitted to land in New York alter )B hours, ai>d - die sipk member# of -the crew alone were compelled in go in'o hospital detention. ■ Here is an interesting.fact f'>r ihe il'*nors. : A general voitiiinig, »a»r« V»*er one hundred pei> sons front-.s'. dirrare > inch allays nine nut of ten eft he acclimated.
