s"D Dear Sir 81 contrived to get hOme hast
evening, and found the state Of things even
more serious than Participated. The enclOs-
ed statement which have just obtained from
the Secretary contains correct account Of
the cases up 10 10 o'clock this morning.
THE total number Of cases, you will see, is

" progressive hut though the number Of
new cases during the last twenty-iour hours
has been %, i. g. greater by three than on
any former day, there is diminution 10 the
number of deaths. which leads me to believe
that the malignity of the disease is abating,
and that to-morrow's statement may not ex-
hbit SO formidable display Of new cases as
that of to-day. The doctor informs me that
many slight attacks, about which they could
not be positiUe, are not reported.
find that the ladies and men in easy and
comfortable circumstances, and OF temperate
habits, do not wholly escape, but none of
these cases are fatal. Not soldier OF sailor,
or any other person ia the kings service, STA
toned at Point Henry and Frederick, has, as
yet, been attacked; but strange to say. three
persons confined 10 the cells Of the Jail have
become victims to the pesti!ence, though
it is not possible that they could have had
communication with any individuals, so as to
have caught the disease from them. In fact
it RACES in every street, and no one can tel!
who may next be laid low.
"The experience of Kingston, the situation
Of which, under constant current of pure
air from Lake Ontario, has always been re-
garded as remarkably healthy, shews that
the general purity Of the atmosphere affords
no safeguard against the cholera" ~

 Lewisburgh IS beautifully situated onthe north bank of the Arkansas river, 45 or 50 miles above the Little Rock, and if is be- lleyed, uuites more advantages in point of locality of situation and the fertility of the adjacent country, than any town in the Territory. ltis situated between the two hourishIng settlements of peconery be- low, and Point Remove above, and most excellent body of land on the opposite side of the river, including Esq'r Ellis settle- ment, and extending southwest as far as the prosperous settlement of Fourche-la- favre. Northeast from Lewisburgh, forS or lO miles, the country IS gently rolling and interspersed with a few rich praries, 1 until you reach the rich bottoms of cane and cypress, and the north fork of Cadron and sources ofPoint Remove all ofwhich arc very fertile and susceptible of exten- siye settlements. Further on in the same direction, you strike the very fourshing settlement (the most remote in the coun- tyl ofiittle Red river, known by the name of Rich Woods, or New Kentucky. This picturesque, healthy aud fertile section or the country IS settling rapidly with an en- terprising, industrious class of citizens, who find 1t greatly to their interest to make Lewisburgh the place of deposite for their imports and exports, being the nearest possible point to navigation, which will, without doubt establish trade of muttal and lasting benefit between the two places.
 Lewisburgh IS the permanent Seat of Justice for the county ofConway, the cen ire of business for the immense regions Of fine country above mentioned, which, with inc acknowledged healthiness of the situa- tit will unite in making it place of no considerable commercial importance.
 Within few hundred yards of the town lis a fine bold never-failing chalybeate spring, and also spring of pure water- building mate rials of every descriptian are in great abundance on and near the premi- ses. such as clay suitable for brick, an ex- sceflentstone quarry, and extensive groves of fine timber.
 courthouse and Jail will be contract ed for and completed in the current year, which, together with some private dwell lings wanted immediately, present strong induce ments to the mechanic, who will be liberaliy encouraged.

Ihe Cherokees.-The Savannah Re pnbtiean states, on the authority of q gentleman from the Cherokee country, that the Government agent, employed 10 enroll the names of emigranis, had
 aen more successful than was anticipat- ed. Nearly eight hundred Indians had departed Tor the West; and 1t was thought that the majority of the nation would emigrate, whethera treasy should be made with the Chiefs or not. There was little doubt that at least fifteen hundred wonld be ready te depart D, the ensuing fall.
 The decision of the Supreme Court, instead of retarding the emigration, had produced a contrary effect. The agent succeeded in enrolling thirty or forty names at a meeting which was called by the Chiefs for the purpose of having the decision read--and it seemed to be the general belief, amongst the Indians not connected with tue Government. that t will be for their interest to emi- grate.
 The Surveyors have left Milledge- vile, with instructions from Governor l.umpkin 10 treat the Cherolzees with liiadness, and 1t is said that the latter willl oHer no obstruction to the survey; many oi them having made arrange ments to supply the surveyors with pro- vis!ons.- Charleston Euentng Post.
