as rapidly as its commencement was violent. We
have made inquiries of our physicians, and find that

MIR. ARCHER.

This gentleman in his recent tour with Maj
Kirby through several of the counties to the
northeast of this, as assistant quartermaster in
paying off the late volunteers, has given his
friends to understand at several places, that he
would be a candidate'for Lieutenant Governor.
1t is not his wish to agitate the question of his
election now; it is premature, and should be
avoided. Opposing parties seem to have given
tacit consent to truce in political strife. and
MIR. Archer is by no means so much of an as
lplrant, Or so eager for contention as to wish to
interrupt it. Assurances that he would be a
candidate have been given only in answer to
the earnest inquiries of his friends.

WEST POINT. We learn that Maj. Lieut..
Colonel De Russey, of the United States En-
gineer Corps, one of the earliest and most dis
elepes of the military school at
West Point, has been appointed Superintend-

Thayer, resigned. Colonel Thayer, notwith>
standing his resignation, does not retire from
the service, but is to be employed at some other
misunderstanding Post.

CHOLERA. Gentlemen directly from St.
Louis inform us that the cholera had greatly
subsidized at that city-in fact, had almost en-
tirely disappeared. For the last four or five
days there had not been to exceed three or four
new cases aday. The alarm consequent on its
first appearance has subsidized with the disease,
g. business again assumes its accustomed chan

clearly of cholera, have occurred, within few
days past, on this side of the river, in St. Clair
county. The deceased were persons who had

JUDGE MCLEAN. Several papers in the
eastern states are already beginning to urge the
pretentons of Judge Mclean, upon the pub
lie, as a candidate for the next presidency
Two new papers, it is said, are about to be es'
tablshed in New York, and another in Phila-
delphia, devoted to his service. Several pa.
pers in Ohio also, are speaking OF MIR. Nc
Lean, in language not to be misunderstood
The agitation of The presidential question al
present we deem altogether premature, and al
most discordant with the spirit of the times
the ''thouehts" of the Brutuses and Caesars, al
east in this portion of the political world, ''are
turned on peace;" and we presume that the
friends of Mr.. Mclean who thus early bring
forward his claims, intend by it nothing more
than to indicate their future course, and the
direction in which their warmest labors will be
bestowed, Judging from present indications.
however, we infer that Mr. Nc Lean may re-
ceive strong support both at the east and the
west. For ourselves, we but stand and look on
