II will be seen from the above, that thus Tar the
victims have resided in the filthiest sections
Of Philadelphia; and we believe we state the
fact when we assure the reader, that in every
instance. up to the present time. either ,n,e%per
ance or unnecessary exposure has provoked the
disease. Very little alarm prevails throughout
the community. Few of our citizens have lett or
will leave the city; and it appears to be the gene
raj impression that although the pesillence may
linger among Us for week or fortnight, it will
be in form comparatively mild, and that the
prudent and the temperate need not entertain the
slightest apprehensions.-PhHLn Ing.

SAMUEL HousroN. Sometime sine Q
in debate in Congress respecting the
Collector at Wiscassst in Maine, Mr..
Stanberry Of Ohio took occasion to
make an attack on Gov. Houston of Ar
kansas. What occasion there was in
this debate to travel from the eastern
extremity of the Union, to the west of
the Mississippi river, and what connex-
ION there was between the Collector of
the Customs and the western reciuse,
neither the public, nor Congress, nor
Mr.. VIM. Stanberry can define. 1t
seems to have been one Of those occa.
yions, which have been Of late seized on
~, times by reckless politicians. particu-
larly in Congress, to slunder and belle
their fellow-ci,izens without cause and
without prov0cation. Tho profgate
Stanberry, with characteristic meanness
on the occasion referred to, villified Gov.
Houston, who was absent, retired from
all public life, and almost from the pres
once of civilized man.
1t seems that Gov. Houston, for some
times past q resident among the Indians
west Of the Mississippi, was on visit TO
Warrington, and saw in the National
lntelligencer, what purported to DO a
report of Mr.. Stanberry's speech. lie
addressed civil note to that gentleman
inquiring the reasons Of such an assault
ON his reputation. Mr.. s. in reply de-
MED his right to make any enquiry and
refused any explanation. Several days
after Gen. II. met him in the street, en-
quired if his name was Stanberry, aud
on receiving an affirmative answer,
struck him several blows with his wulk-
ing stick. Stanbcrry drew "A pistol from
his pocket and aimed at Houston, but
the latter knocked it from his hand.
This is wa believe q correct state
ment of the affair up to the time of the
ARRAY, and is indefensihle and disgrace
fal as regards both. We have seen il
in,innated that thero were other causes
THAT one Of the parties had his track
crossed in an amour, and to revenge
himself made use Of bis station to SLAM
der his rival, which terminated in hsty
cuffs. What truth there may be in this
part Of the affair, We know MOTT 10 sll

not he well for Congress to appropriate
sufficient sum Of money TO send Board
Of Physicians to England to study the
