 efa.-This frightful and myste Eflous disease hasa gain made disappear. Eanee among us. Several deaths have occurred during the past week, but, we lare happy 10 say, that out of fl1e many, i've can enumerate but three Of our cit izens. Tines.
 The Mississippi river has risen, dur ing the last week, three or four feet, but }is now, rather on the decline, and not I lar from low water mark. The rise is said to be from the Missouri. Steam boats pass frequently, and we learn from passengers that tse Cholera is raging below, to an alarming e1tent.-td.
 Etc Cisotefq.--'ii ii'ilcre arc, we under lsfands two or three cases Of this disease m town, but 1t is not thought 10 be ex- Lending it's influence 10 any considerable or alarming degree. Prudence ip re- gard to dict eVereise, exposure, cc. may De regarded as q sure preventive faii is ,ttaeks, and nnprndenee is always hazardous. -.4at. Banner, .Woy II.
 Iobios Walhias. For the benefit of our iegal readers, We give place today to the opinion of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia, in the case of the United States vs. Watkins. It will be reeol- laetfd that the defendant WAS convicted on three indictments Of misdemeanors, and sentenced to three months impris- oninent oil each indictment, and to pay certain fines amounting to three thon- sand and fifty dollars. Upon these judgments three writs of fer facias aefesued out OH the ad sse i,tes:,es.s, i8s2s9, and duly returned at tie 1eeem- Der terra naila 6oae; and in February, 1850, three writs of co. SO. were sued out OH inc same judgments, returnable at the next May term, but were not re turned by the Marshal at that term, nor was he called upon to return them, and nothing appears upon the record re- speetihg them, until the January term of 1853, when the court being ia kes- sion, IS of November term 1892, they were filed in the Clerks office by the Marshal, endorse sscepis- delivered over to my successor in Oilice.n On the fth January, 1883, the defendant applied to the Supreme Court of the Ueited States for writ of ha5easieof- p,te, and upon that proceeding was dis charged from custody, upon the ground that the Marshal had no authority to detain him beyond the return term of the writ--hfay terr, is3e-nttless he had been committed by the Court at the prayer of tlle plaintiff, and the U. States not having agailed themselves ot the full benefit olthe judgment and ex eculion by bringing in the defendant at the proper time, he was discharged.-- The error in the process, consisted in the failure of the Marshal to bring the defendant into Court at the return of the first co. so. and Of the United States Attorney 10 pray him III commitment. immediately upon the discharge ofthe defendant by the Supreme Court ofthe United States, for the reasons atose stated, he was arrested again upon three new writs of ca. sa. issued upon the same judgments, aud the main question discussed in the opinion of the Ciffuit Court, was whether the defendant could be lawfully arrested and held in custody upon the second writs alter having been taken and discharged upon tho former wits. The Court decided that he could mol, upon the long estab- Hshed principle of the common law, that mar shall not be twice taken in execution for the same cause.
 Itis proper to remark that the Mary land practice in regard 10 exeeutionby co. sa. in civil cases, prevails in the DOT ton of the District coded by that State, and it was under the practice and laws of Maryland that the proceedings by ca. sa. against the defendant took plaee.--.Aashpilie Rgp.
