ses are net So numerous nor so fatal as lh its early stage. Experience has taught us to be vigilant in the use of prcVentlves, and speedy in calling in medical aid in case of attack. Many of the cases reported by the Health Officer were mild, and some of them we understand had not advanced beyond the pFemonltory stage.
 The Cholera still prevails in the conn- try. On one plantation, about four miles from town, there have been se- ven cases and five deaths of Cholera none of the patients had been in vicks- burg since the appearance of the dis ease. We have heard of other cases in the country, but not many.
 The Convention adjourned at the close of last week, having adopted Constitution without submitting it to the people. We have not yet received a copy of the Constitution, but hope to do so In time for our next paper.

At Middletown this messenger met person who had been sent from Harrisburg to invite Jacob to attend
