LEXINGTON, lKY.l July B.

With feelings ef the profoundest gratitude to an all wise Providence, we can now state the fact that our city has again become entirely healthy. There is, at this time, no appearance of that dreadful seourge, with which We have been so severely Visi- ted, in any part of the city. Thelast death that occurred, was on Wednesday evening or night, last,-a servant woman of Mai. John Tilford. She had been unwell for several days (as we learn) without making her situation known. Since then we have had no case of cholera; though several have been slightly affected with bowel affections which were easily checked with the proper remedies.-Reporter.

NASHVILLE. July 26.

: Healh of Nashviae.--It is perhaps worthy of notice, that since the t.isappear- ance of the cholera, the health of our town and neighborhoodhas been for the season, almost unexampled. Some of our oldest physicians state, that never, within their re- collection, has the month of July been so generally and almost universally exempt from prevailing disease, as during the pre- sent year. After the painful visitation of the spring, we ought to be especially grate- iul for this extraordinary prevalence of
 health. But VIC should not forget that it is probably attributable in some deoree= to that caution and prudence in diet, Sc. which our preceding suffering has prompted. Let us not relax ous vigilance but endeaYor to preserve the blessing of health during the. summer and fall.-Bmlner.

Untoarard Epent.-The cholera proves itself, in it's progress every where, to have no respect for persons, or. situations. It is a 'sgenuine Republican" disease, and at tacks every body. 0nc of the most un- welcome cases we have heard of, occurred on Sunday evening last. At that time, a gay wedding party had assembled in this city. The bridegroom was soon expected, and the bride elect had retired to assume her wedding garments. Anon, informa- ton was brought that the lady was ill, and soon it was ascertained that she was suffer- ing under an attack of cholera, of so obsti- nate a character as to render her recovery doubtful. Ofcourse, the bridal party was changedinto one of a very different descrip- ton. It IS said that she Is better, and may yet have a chance of putting on the mar riage habiliments.

For Me .Adpocdte.


 The sad news has reached our ears, that watchman has fallen from the walls of Zion! He found watery and an unex- pected grave near Big Red river, in a small drain which was flushed by the excessive rains that fell some time back. The par ticulars we know not, as to the time and circumstances that led to the much lamont ed death of our beloved brother, WM. A. BoYcE, travelling preacher of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, and one of the eight that volunteered to enter the forest of the west, to seek after the lost sheep of Israel. Long shall Iremember the time, when eight humble shepherds, including myself, set out from Memphis, in small boat, tode- scend the Mississippi, and after contending with the wind and ice for three days, we landed at Helena, where we began divide out, each to his post, and so enter the for est. But one has fallen as yet, and our loss is doubtless his eternal gain, and 1 would say to the other six {afsd 'nyselt, ). be ye also ready.
 The news has also reached here, that brother MARTIN WELLS was drowned, i'll forcing his way across the Nashita river, some weeks ago. We hope this report will be found to have grown out of the other, and not from the fact fiat he IS gone

Col.

He has also man. aged to get hold of the murderers who escaped from prison at Fort Winnebago last fall, and has them again in confinement at that place, where they will await their trial. His duties having been discharged, we presume Colonel Dodge will repair to Arkansas.
