MEMPHIS AND LITTLE ROCK K ROAD, &c.

During the late session of Congress. it will be recolleeted, an appropriation of S20,000 was made for the repair of fhis road, from this place to the St. Francis river; under the superinten. dence of Gov. PorE. Many, in differ ent sections of the Territory, confident y expected, as they certainly had a right to, that immediately upon the re- turn of the Governor, this work would be let out at public contract, thereby aE fording to oH, a .fair opportunity to share in this large public expenditure. But what must be their surprise, when they learn, that two days after his re. turn to the Seat of Government, (somc even say, and we have no hesitation in believing it 10 De true, that it was pro. nsised, by letter, before his return,) the Governor PRIVATELY let out the whole of this large and important con tract' to three of his personal and poi flcal friehds-Messrs. Rutherford, c ray and Rorer. We are far from censur- ing those gentlemen for taking this pro- .ttabte contract, even priUatcly-they have all of late, handled much Of Uncle Sans money-they doubtless know the use of it, and the pleasure its possession affords. But Gov. PopE's course is highly reprehensible-he has acted in bad faith, net only to inc Government, but to the people of this Territory Was the Governor fearful, if he should give public notice, and proceed in the ordinary way to let out this contract, that the competition would be too great for his friends, and that, thereby, hes would be deprived oftheexqaisite pleas ure of pocketing this 10000? We must think so. Nothing is more apparent, at this day, than the fact, that sshissi,g goes by fapor.' We will leave the people to judge of the naotiues of their good Gov. ernor, in entering into this praDate ar. engagement with his parficuiar friends. Tue s' FAITHFUL DELEGA ATE's ,, ac.

MELANCHOLY DEATH. A young man
by the name of Barber, living with Mr..
John Griffin of New Baltimore, was found
hanging in the cider house of Mr.. Griffin
on Thursday morning Feb. 9, and was dead ;
although it was presumed he had hung but
short time. 1t is supposed by the family
that Barber did not intend to commit sui
cide,-that it was entirely accidental He
had been known by the family at various
times to alarm an idiot lad residing in the
same house by threatening to hang him,
and would put rope round his own neck,
and go through the ceremony of hanging,
to shew the lad how he would serve him !;
ut this time they were in the cider house
together, and the idiot came into the house
and repeated several times, he hangs-he
hangs; the family took no notice Of it, sup
posing that Barber had again alarmed him
by threats. 1t is thought the young man
had fastened the cord round the beam while
standing on stick of wood, and that his
feet slipped, and he was Immediately strap
gled.-- Corsdckie, NJ Y, advertiser.

CHOLERA. Speculation is looking into
the interior Of the earth, instead of on the
surface, or into the atmosphere, tor the orr
gin Of this disease. The Liepsic Gazette
says:
"The opinion is gaining ground at Wen
M that the cholera is entirely telluric, and
created by mephitic vapors which are form
ed in the earth, and first communicated to
the water. 1t was owing to this, it is said,
that in Vienna the cholera first broke out
in the city, where the wells and fountains
are deeper than in the suburbs. In the
same manner is accounted for the fact that
tile cholera often attacks many persons in
one house, while in others it attacks no.
body. The water of the latter is not sat
urated with the telluric misasma. In con-
sequence of this hypothesis, many persons
'drlnk boiled water, as they consider this IA
preservatlve against the disease. From
this suppositlon it is probable has arisen the
generally prevailing belief among the peo-
pie, that the wells had been poisoned. In
some places the poultry and pigeons died in
great numbers. A mortality has also been
remarked among the fish in several rivers.
Numerous facts, moreover, prove that the
cholera follows the course of rivers. and
breaks out chiefly in The ncighborhood Of
waters"
1t seems unaceountahle that the Cholera
spreads such terror before it, vixen both ii
this country and in England there are many
evils existing, which are far more formida.
BILE. The Cholera is mere bagatelle com
pared with intemperance. Consumption
which is chiefly the result ofimproper dres.
and unreasonable exposures, is really more
treadiul'in this country than half dozer
ChoIeras. If even tight lacing alone coult
enter the lists with the Cholera, and if We
were IN the habit of betting, we would lay
two to one that the Cholera would be worst
cd. Tight lacing usually does its work I'M

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. The President
and Fellows of Harvard College, have pc.
titioned the Legislature for pecunary as
slstance to erect a fire-proof building for
the preservation and protection of the Uni
verslty Library. We have no doubt that
the prayer of the petitioners will be grant
ed, and we earnestly hope that the appro-
priallon will be liberal and worthy of Mas
sachusetts. The whole Commonwealth
nay, the whole Country, has a deep inter-
est IN the perfect security of the invaiua-
BILE collection of works relating to Ameri-
can History, Geography, and Statistics. be-
sides the 1000 maps and charts collected
by Mr.. Brandes and Professor Eberlinp.
and presented to the Library by Mr.. Thorn
dixie. This collection, if once DESTROYED
10y fire, can never be replaced-and it IS
indisputahly superior to any in the world.
The whole number of volumes in the Ii.
brary exceeds forty thousand. 1t is stated
in the petition, that in the recent contro-
versy between the United States and Great
Britain, relative 10 the boundaries of the
State of Maine, charts and works were
found in it, which could not be obtained
elsewhere in Europe or America, and
which, being deemed in some respects con-
elusive in favor Of the United States, by its
Counsel, were solicited by the. General
Government, and granted hy the Corpora
ton OF the University, for the purpose of
being transmitted with the American Com.
missloners to Europe, in support of the
claims of the United States.
Petitions have been presented from Bishop
Grlswold and others of the Theological In
sttutlon at Andover, and from the Newton
Theological Institution, praying that the
petition Of the President and Fellows of the
College might be granted.
