VINCENNES, JUNE 15,

Wabash River, It affords rne pleasure lo say, 13 now, and lias been for near a week past, up, and in a good stage for navigation. The steam boat Swan, arrived ou Thursday morning the 13th, same day, proceeded for the upper ports on the lVabash.

It may be seen by an article in this da 3 paper, signed try the Hoard of health, that not a single case of Cholera has occurred anions our resident citizens, and it is doubted by RVtuf, whether the cases referred to in the report of that Board, were really cases of Asiatic Cholera. Be that as it may, I can state with confidence, that the town never was more healthy than at this time, and that notowu in the western country, with an equal population, can boast of more general health, than Vincenncs.

CHOLERA. In consequence of exaggerated accounts prevailing at a distance, of the existence of Cholera in Vincennes, the undersigned composing the Board of Health of said town, certify that the alarm was occasioned by the appearance ot that disease in one famil v who were Germans, and had not been residents of the town more than three

days; they had arrived from New Orleans in an unhealthy, dirty, and filthy condition, and the attack proved fatal to six of the famil v, to whom the disease was exclusivcly confined. Not a single case of Cholera has yet appeared in the families of our citizens. Hiram Decker, Jos. Browne, 1). McIIemiy, A. LeRov, Joseph Somes, S. Ratiieoxe. Vincenncs, June 13, lS'J'l. FOR THE WESTERN SUN. Fellow Citizens: That scourge of the world, the Asiatic Cholera, has now fiuid us its unwelcome visit. My health is not robust enough to enter into active practice, but believing that I may do some good, by detailing in as concise a manner as possible, the preventative and curative methods which experience has justified ns the most successful. They ure the result of much reading of the best writers, for I pretend to no originality, or personal experience. To say any thing on the preventative course, it will be necessary to give the premonitory symptoms, which usually preucde and usher in the complaint, and warns of the probable approach of dan

he has confidence.

....

As this has been drawn up tor llie use

of our fellow townsmen, I have avoided all technical terms. E. McNAMEE. N. B. There will probably be some cases in which the torpor of the bowels will bo so great that the dosc3 of calomel will not act so soon as is desired, in such cases I advise to give an injection of from 10 to 30 grains of emetic tartar, in warm water, which I believe will never fail. Believing it an imperative duty of every citizen to contribute all in his power to ulleviate this scourge of the world, I am fellow citizens, your ob't. servrt E. MV.

The first which 1 shall mention isn dis

ordered state ef the bowels, that is. a lax or looseness, but often so slight, or moderate, that it is often with the most intelligent, mistaken for that kind of purging which is supposed to be salutary; consequently, is suffered to go on without alarm or much attention: it rather increases, and first changes from natural to a whitish colour, but this change dees not take place always. Very soon after the stools takes the appearance of rice-water, then spasms or cramps may soon be dreaded, accompanied with violent vomitings;

tticse are vcrv soon iuitowea uy insensi

bility and a death like coldness, which is called the collapse. I have been thus particular in describing the first symptoms and tracing the onward progress of this terrifying pesti

lence, in order the better to point out to tnv fellow citizens, the proper remedies

and course to be pursued in each.

Curative. Whenever the Cholera is

known to be in town, or in close neighbor

hood ot it, then it the patient has disor

dered bowels, that is, a lax or diarrhea,

however slight, let him loose no time, but c tr ImvL drink warm tea. if hi foot nm

j ' ' - J " J " -- W V V i v. cold, bathe. Send for the physician in whom he has most confidence, but in case ho does not send for a physician, let him take from ten to twenty grains of calomel, according t the urgency of the s-fymptoms. If this does not product a change in the colour and consistency of the stools in three or four hours, let him lepeat the dose. This course is indispensable in every state and stage of the diarihea. When vomitingand cramps come on, give an injection of half an ounce ot laudanum, with the same quantity ot

tpirtts ef turpentine mixed with an ounv.c of mollasses, add the whole to half a pint

of warm water; if this cannot be given at one injection, give it at two. The same thould be tried in the state of ctllapse. Mustard plasters to the abdomen, should ho applied sj soon as vomiting or nausea appears, and should be repeated at intervals during the remainder of the case. They should be kept on until the patient complains of burning or smarting. In the state of spasms and that of collapse, friction with the warm and health v hand, has been strongly commended; but it should not be depended on to the exclu- . sionot the other means pointed out. In drawing this plan of treatment of the

Cholera, 1 have availed myself of the experience and successful practice of the ablest physicians in the west. I think it riht to solemnly warn our fellow-citizen-not to trust to the lo! here is a cure, and la', there is a cure! for the Cholera. Cures arid preventatives will assail you at ovcry comer, but believe them not, trust not U them, for he who does will trut to a broken stall. 1 have been very concise in giving the

method of treatment, but remember it h

The Cholera is raging at Lexington. In the 43 hours ending on the night of the 5th June, about 20 deaths had occurred Louivisllc jidv Maysville has been nearly deserted The inhabitants generally, alarmed by the havoc made by the Cholera, fled to the country. It is said that little more than one hundred, of a population of three thousand, remained in the city. Ib. In Wheeling, at our last dates, the Cholera was subsiding at Cincinnati it cannot be said to rage as an epidemic, though a few cases arc reported every week Ib. DEATH OF MR HOWK.

At a meeting tof the Judges of the Supreme Court of the state, and of the District court of the United States, and the members of the bars of those courts: held at the court room in Indianapolis on the 27th of May, 1833, over which Hon. B Parke presided, the following resolutions were proposed by Charles Deavbt, Esq. and unanimously adopted, viz; Resolved, That we deeply deplore the loss sustained by the bar and the public,

in the death of the late Isaac Howk,

DEATH OF JOHN RANDOLPH, or HOANOKE John Randotfih, of Roanule is no more. He died yesterday about twelve o'clock, at the city Hotel. The excitement in Chesnut street, when the melancholy fact became knowu, can be imagined not described. Thus has departed at the advanced age of sixty-one years, one of the most extraordinary men that perhaps ever appeared in the world. Whatever feeling, whatever enmities, whatever hostilities, and whatever prejudices may have existed towards him when living, they are all buried in the same gra?e in which his ashes will be consigned to their long repose. The generation that survives and all that follow will only remember his excellencies, for he had many his virtues, and they were not few his umivaJled geoius hi3 unequalled eloquence his wit, that never beamed but in the most brilliant light and his learning, that irradiated his whole converse, society, ami intercourse. He was a statesman a philosopher a philanthropist not of the day not for party but for mankind for after ages. It is a remarkable coincidence that his soul should take its flight in the same city in which he made his political debut in the councils ot bh country. V

Damages. It is stated in a Lexington,

paper, that the Hank of the United Slates baa presented the protested draft on France at the Treasury Department, for upwards of 800.000 dollars, and claimed fifteen per cent damages thereon. When we first saw this state ment in a Philadelphia paper we could not credit it. We did not believe that the Hank, witb the public rJeposites in her vaults, to an

From the .V. 1 More testimony as to the

A'ttWJiert. The following extract of a letter from South Carolina needs no comment at our hands. It speaks plainiy and as wc most certainly believe truly: No single effort, however will suffice to save the country from the dangers which threaten it. The leaders of the Nullification parly are animated with the zeal of fanatics, and are untiring in their efTorts to disseminate their doctrines and to destroy the Union. Judging from the past, I am convinced that itf is only by continued and active exertions that they can be controlled and defeated. Their object i3, and always has been, revolution and secession; and it requires the united counsel and efforts of all good citizens to counteract their designs. The danger to which the Union has been exposed, by the combination of the interests and passions of the nullifiers, is not sufficiently understood. The disorganizes are banded together, and act with united counsels and united efforts in every state where their influence is felt. We stand alone in this state, supported it is true by public opinion every where; but without any concerted action with those who are animated by the same feelings and principles as ourselves. If we had been aided in the first instance by the friends of the Union in ether states, we might have restrained these men within due limits. Cannot we unite the good men in eveiy state for the purpose

of preserving our free institutions, and

counteracting the efforts of the numbers,

amount exceeding the sum called lor by I who are associated together to destroy

ine urait on r ranee, would advance a claim for damages, b cause the draft was protested. The failure of the French Chamber of Deputies to appropriate money to pay the first instalment due uri der the late treaty of indemnity was the cause of the protest. That failure was prr babiy unintentional, Ec on this ground the American government will be bound to receive it, as satisfactory, as it would be highly unreasonable, to make a mere omission, probablv occasioned by the unsettled state of parties in France, a cause of quarrel between that country

aud the U. States. On the other hand,

the draft was made by the American go

vernment in pursuance of the late treaty with France. The right of tbc Secrcta ry of the Treasury to draw for the sum

due was unquestionable; and the Dank,

in purchasing the dratt, did net, in all

probability, advance a dollar. The draft

of our government was mainly, if noi

wholly, purchased with the public de-

posites and we now find the Dank claiming more than one hunubbd and TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLAHS S dama

ges on a dratt thus acquired. Well

this sum will make a pretty considerable addition to the profits of the lord and gentlemen of England.' It would be

sufficient lo render the Kentucky river

navigable, at the the lowest stage of wa

ter, from its mouth to Frankfort. But what do the partisans of the flank care

for this! They are for the Rank not

MICHIGAN ROAD.

We learn from the commissioner on

the Michigan road, Judge Polk, that con

tracts have been made for improvements on 64 miles of the road, between Madi. son and Indianapolis. The improvements to be made consist, principally, in

grading hills and creek banks, erecting

cuhert, puncheon, and frame bridges, and in turnpiking and embanking, or ploughing and scraping the road. The contracts entered into have been made for the sum of 8,295 25, and generally at a much lower price lor the same kind of work than heretofore. The aveiage per mile is about g!29 62. Frame, puncheon, or culvert bridges

are to be erected overall tho principal streams, as also the small branches and ravines, so that the road will be rendered fit for travelling at all seasons of the

year; ana upon that part ot the road between Napoleon and Madison, which has heretofore been impassable by wagons, a stage route will doubtless be established to intersect the Lawrencebureh and

Indianapolis rotate at Napoleon. The hills are to be graded so as to have an ascent of 7 degrees, or one foot rise to nine feet on the surface. This will nearly level the road and render it the best in the state, except the National road. It is thought by the commissioner, that the appropriation made by the Legislature last winter and to be expended during the present year, in improving the road, will be suthcient to make it good from the lake to the Ohio. The commissioner proceeds immediately on the northern end of the road for the purpose of making similar improve

ments on that portion of the road which lies between Indianapolis and lake Michigan. The last sale is at Michigan cif on the Wth inst. It is the intention of Judge Polk to pss over the whole extent of the road, during the present season, and make special contracts (or improvements in such
