:A FEW THOUGHTS UPON CuoLERA.-- The disease that walketh in darkness ana wasteth at noon-day, is still preva- lent ln different parts of the UnIon.- As we have said, none seem to be ut teriy exempt from exposure to it's rava- ges-----therefore, all who escape, should remember from whom corneth their help.o BURTON has said-ssH How few thank the ALMIGHTY for his preventing mereless---how few value the blessings of lie, until, iL a hapless moment, they are taken away" Is it sufficiently re- alized in those towns which have es- capped, that the arm of the SupREME,- before whom goeth the pestilence--has been held over them for good? While the progress of active trade has been Palsied-w wh!siille the the white sail hiias been turled on the ocean and the coast, and a strong arm laid upon the rushing steamers which were wont to cleave eur inland rivers and lakes, DEATH, with his quiyer ofpoisoned arrows, has stood in all our favored borders, with an arm, powerless, through a merciful Provi- dence, to wing the fatal shaft. Let this be remembered, when ungrateful reflections arise upon the decadence of trade and general prosperity. Letit not be forgotten, how vain, to those who have been bereaved, would be the con soIatons afforded by successful specu- lation, or industry. How many fond aspirations have been checked-ss bow many bright eyes dimmed-how many cheeks made paler' How many have trod the gloomy passages of the dark valley of the shadow of Death. Should not, then, the spirits of the repining, who have been unyisited by the chast- ener, be grateful and still9 Cop has stayed the arm of the Destroyer. HE has spread an atmosphere of health over the favored city, and town-and the Angel of Destruction has been directed to pass on. While the sunshine of Ills mercy has fingered upon one portion Of the land, upon another has rested the clouds of desolation and of death--and in places little distant, and apparently secure, hundreds have sslaid them down in their last sleep" But yesterday, they were alive and in health--to-day, seven as a dream when one awsskettlh, eth, so have their images vanished from out the city, Who-in consideration of these things,--but will lift up his heart in gratitude, and exclaim with the psalmist: 70 LORD, the people fall upon my right hand and upon my left why hast thou delivered me from death, and nay eyes from tears?'

 A letter from Paris, under date Of August 8, says: sThe aspect now over Europe is more warlike. The allied powers, Russia, Austria, Prussia, Hol-
 land, wait, perhaps seek, only the op- Portunity 10 assume distinctly bellieer- ent altitude towards France. A very slight pretext will lead to declaration of hostilities. Indeed it is impossible that ore million.ofmen in arms, can re- main long ina state of quiet; and such a force IS nov maintained by the pow
 CTS of Europe. lnaction is as unsuited to their habits as 10 their inclinations. and it isby no means the prevalent dis position sof their governments to restrain any propensities of this sort. France seems to stand alone against this lormid- able alliance. The power of England. to any material extent, is paralyzed by internal d fife u.ty and siisq,iiet. Trance. however. is prepared at all points, She has 100000 regulars, and as many national guards, ready for the field- with people by no means unwilling to encounter the hazards and the aDtici- pated glory of contest, unsought on their part, but into which they are no- thing 10th to enter. The King hopes for peace; but 1t is Tn my judgment e vain hope, unless the daily indications are deceptiye.'
 singuiar and Fatal .accident.--The, substance of the following is related in the Eden Courier, published in South Carolina: Two lads at play, the on0 running after the other to regain his hat, ,the first fell. The other being close by when he fell, and running at the same time with all his might, fell over his companion, and in the fall dislocated his neck, and what is n singular fact. that for four days after inc accident. when the lad died, there was not the smallest sympathy between his head and any part of his body; in ofher words. though life existed all the lime. and reason continued to the last unimpaired, there was no feeling in the body; nor had the unfortunate lad the smallest command over it. He could not move q leg or arm, nor would he have felt the slightest pain, to use the words of a medical gentleman who saw him, though any surgical operation, however excruciating otherwise, had been per- formed on him.
