THE CHOLERA

We copy the following distressing account
OF the ravages Of the Cholera in one family
from the Louisville Herald.
We regret to learn, that the family of Judge
Rotsan has been severely afflicted by the chol-
era. On Friday last William Rowan and his
wife, A. II. Rowan, and Mary Jane Steele,
the sons, daughter-in-law, and grand d ,ugh-
ter of the Judge, were buried in the same
grave. c. A. Wicklife, Esq. writes from
Bardstown, "the rest Of the family are now
IN town, and we hope TO save them Judge
Rowan 10 as yet well, but his PROSTATE spirits
have alarmed me.-John Is sick, but moi dam
gcrous. Harvey and the two girls, I hope
are safe, but God knows what tonight NAV
bring forth" We learn also that Judge Row.
an has lost several Of his slaves by the same
disease. Sincerely do We sympathize with
the bereaved father for so heavy loss.
Itwillbe seen by the following notice, which
We find in the Bardstown (Ky.) Herald, of Ju-
ly 9th, that tho family Of Judge Rowa ha,
sustained another affecting bereavement.

DeatA u Coo. Edtcsrds from Belle
Vile announce the death Of .Nisisn Ed.oards.
Esq, late Governor Of Illinois. lie expired
on Saturday morning last, Of Cholera, at his
residence ia that place.
Coz. Edscsrds was a man of uncommon a.
oiiitie,; and exercised, forI long while, a
controlling power over the political affairs of
Illinois. Under both the Territorial and
State Governments, he filed the most impor.
sant Offices. He was Governor Of Illinois M
the time OF her advission into the Union. and
Tor some years previous. After the orsani-
cation ofthe State Government, he was elect
cd 10 the Senate OF the United States, for two
successive terms. An unlucky political ma
n1uvre, about the time Of his receiving the
commission Of Minister 10 Mexico, compelled
him TO abandon that Mission, and for awhile
clouded his political prospects. Subsequent
~, however, he was elected Governor of the
State; aud this, we believe, was the last pub
Iic ofhee held by him.-A man OF varied and
profound knowledge, he was able 10 meet
successfully the most able statesman Of the
DAY. TO his numerous family and friends.
and to his Deighbors, his death must prove a
severe affection, and the State itself suffer-
the loss Of an enterPrising and valuable citizen.
