NEW YORK

1t is really laughable to see what an ecstacy
some of the National Republican and Bank pa
|pers are thrown into by the result of the charter
election in Albany. Their despair of obtaining
any great victory in any part of the State may
be inferred from their exceeding delectation on
account of this small matter. Their terms Of re-
lJoicing are as extravagant as if they had really
succeeded IN the electoral ticket, and indeed
could hardly be surpassed if they had carried the
Bank candidate for the Presidency. The Dali
ly Advertiser thinks that their having got three
or four opposition Aldermen into the Albany COM
mon council, "ls an event calculated to afford
great qualification to every friend :. the Nation
al Union and to the Constitution of the United
States.'' Fudge! Just as if the people were moi
aware that the Albany charter election is not
and never was, test of the relative strength Of
parties on the main questions in politics in tina,
lefty. Did we not lose our charter officers in
1928, and afterwards carry our gubernatora
and electoral ticket by triumphant majorities
In 1880 was not the Albany board against us
and carried by maiorities much the same as those
in the late election? And in the following year
did not our party come out in its strength, and
set all right again? So it will be this autumn
When the people come to be called upon in rea
ton to the gubernatoria, congressional, and cleo.
toral tickets, they will be found on the right side
The truth is, that in Albany, as in most cities Of
its size, local questions are perpetualy occurring
which vary the state of parties in elections lol
local officers, without creating any alteration in
the grand division Of parties. We should not be
surprised if the measures pursued in Albany in
relation to the cholera had not been in a good
measure the cause of temporary unpopularity t,
the former members of the board The oppos
ton may exult now, but, as the Albany Argus
truly observes, sin November, if they laugh, il
will be at their own expense. Rely upon it, the
ARIsrocRAcY and the BANK will find it quite
another matter with JACKSON and VAN BUREN
in the field, and the old friends of the country out
in their strength. "--N. Y. Euening Post.

Copy Of a letter from Gen. ATKINSON to Goo
REYNOLDS dated,
JEFFERSON BARRACKs,)

| Oct. y. 1882
DEAR SIR IL have three Potawatomie warriors
in confinement at this post, who were taken pris-
oners by the Winnebago Indians that sent in
pursuit of Black Hawk and the Prophet They
were captured with these men, after the battle of
I'd August on the Onisconsin.
The Miss HALLS, whilst at 81. Louis, after they
were ransomed last summer, said that they knew
there were Potawatomie Indians amongst the par
tv that committed the murder on Indian creek
One of the young ladies said that she personally
knew one of the Potawatomie young men, and
that she could not be mistaken in his identity, as
he had scar on his forehead, produced by stroke
given him by her brother year before. This
Indian, she says, led the horse she was put upon
after being captured, through their hurried route
to the Sac camp. Hearing this story, l examin-
ed the three prisoners, and found the scar upon
one Of them as described by her / then ques
toned them through an interpreter, to ascertain if
they were of the party that committed the murder
and captured the Miss Halls on Indian creek
They frankly acknowledged they were of that
|party-that it consisted Of ten Sacs, five Kicka-
|poos, and three Potawatomes, themselves. y
They wished to excuse themselves, by saying that
hey did not kill any one, and advised the others
10 refrain from killing, but make prisoners of
the whites
As the Potawatomies were at peace with us
when the outrage was committed, those men are
presume, to the civil laws for the
offence. l have, therefore, to ask your advice
touching the matter, and subject to you the pro-
priety OF having them turned over to the civil au-
thority of the State of Illinois, that they may be
sent to the county where the murder was commit
ted, for trial. The Miss Halls are there, l un-
derstand, on whose testimony and their own con-
LESSONS they would be committed. Will you be
so good as to let me hear from you on the subject
as early as practicable.
With great respect,
Sir, l have the honor to be,
Your most ob'dt ser'vt.
HI. ATKINSON.

PREVENTION OF CHOLERA

FELLOW CITIZENS Let us profit bv the expe-
sience OF the world. 1t has pleased Providence
to afflict US with pestience, but he has mercifuy
suffered 1t to approach gradually, and we have
the observations of others to guide us.-These
observations teach us:
l. That no one should get drunk; that habitual
drunkards should drink no more than will keep up
the strength and tone of their systems; and that
the temperate should not resort to ardent spirits
as preventive.
=. That, IN Diet, we should limit ourselves to
oeef' mutton, veal, poultry, good ham in modera-
ton, eggs, milk, tea coffee, chocolate, light bread,
potatoes, rice, and boiled onions
.. That we should avoid the rain and night
arr, keep our rooms dry with fires, lodge warm,
and dress, as much as possible, in woollens
a. That we should not irritate our systems
with medicine while we feel WELL
D. That no one, on any account, should me-
elect the lac or, disordered state Of the bo,vels,

OF THE OHIO CANAL.
We congratulate the friends of Internal Inns
provement both in and out of the State, upon the
completion of the Ohio Canal, from Lake Erie to
the Ohio river at Portsmouth, with the exception
Of one lock on the right margin of the Scioto riv-

the Ohio river is at its lowest stage of water, and
which will not materially affect the navigation of
the canal, and that this joyful event is to be GELS
ebrated at Portsmouth, on Friday the 18th Inst.
The particular arrangement for which will be an
nounced in this paper hereafter.

 The Boston Courier introduced ih. subject of relief for lhe Cape de yerl sufferers, with the following remarks excellent alike in diction and se,,, ment:

Tie :sceounts from the Cape de Nerds show that tIs whole population must d.e il, the mise. y that Dante las made immortal in 1goiino, unless speedily relieved. lf one ot these starving wretches should appear personally before us, every hand would he open to aid him; but it isa better kind of sympathy that we feel for distant ohject--it is true charity when We do hot relieve misery 10 es cape the sight of all object that distress es us.
 There is no situation ill whicha naa so completely executes his destiny as when he relieves others. Ncwtol, when he disee.ercd tke universal prip- eiple of grayitation, was not SO great a spectacle Of the moral sublime, as the poor Samaritan who relieved lin that was deserted by the priest and Lesiie.
 Charlty, it is said, begins at home, but good people have always given ita liberal construction. Our homo is not confined to our.hearths. d'he earths our long home, and al men are our brothers.
