The undersigned, a committee of physicians
attached to the board of health of Detroit

ding the tao cases of cholera on board the
steamboat HENRY CLAY, report that the first
case occurred in man Of very Incorporate
habits, who had been indisposed for several
days, and during the extreme heat Yesterday.
drank immoderately Of whiskey and ate vo-
raciously, was attacked during the night with
|spasms and died in about hours after the at.
tack.
The other case commenced since the death
of the first and is less violent in degree, and it
is hoped the patient may recover. The facts
are stated in this form that the fears of our
citizens may not be unnecessarily excited, fear
having been ascertained to be one of the most
powerful predisposing causes Of the disease.
The inhabitants may rely upon the earliest
and most authentic information, should any
thing occur to require the issuing Of another
bulletin. The troops, among whom the dis.
ease has occurred are from the seaboard, and

THE WAR.Our latest adyices from the frontier are
unmportant. Several volunteers passed through this
place last week on their way homeward, by whom we
informed that the pursuit of the Indians had for the
present, been gwen over.
The commanding officers of the expedition, being ia
from any depot of provisions unaoquainted with the
country, and unable to obtain guides who knew any
thing about it, thought impracticabe to overtake the
enemy before the of service of the present enroll
ment of militia would have EXPIRED and concluded un
der such circumstances to give over pursuit We pre-
sumo that before this me the principal part of the vol
uneers on their way home; and trust they will
not soon again be under the necessity of leaving their
homes their farms to engage in another expedition like
that whichthey will have left. regular force amply
sufficient to prosecute the successful termIna-
ton, is the towards the of action; they
are commanded by officers of known vaor and expert
ence, and IN whom the public have confidence. What
success will attend the further prosecution of the
dton, can tell; but whatever it may be- the war
having now been taken into the proper hands, the blame
of failure, will not rest upon the citizen of this state
We learn also that Col Dunn, who at our last previ-
Gus advce thought to be MORALLY wounded, has so
far recovered be out of danger. His recovery is
mainly to be attributed to the prompt attention of the

without assuming the existence of the Cholera among
them. jig ..r-..
The disease does not spread hear, among the

CORRECTION

The Editors Of the Scotisvic Farmer, are en-.
treIy mistaken III supposing Of cholera to
have occurred, at GordoDsville, in this county.
The rumor probably originated in the following
circumstance. DR.. Carmichael Of Fredericksburg,
having visited Now York for the purpose Of obtain
ing information relative 20 tho nature and treat
ment ef cholera, had slight attack Of the disease
himself, and returned home in rather delicate
health. By way Of recruiting he camo up into the
ueigbborbood OF Gordonsvillo, where he remained
until his object accomplished. The county
generally is remarkably healthy. With the szcep,
