This scourge Of Creation has approached sufi-
GENTLY near us to prompt the most vigilant atten-
ton to the means Of warding of the stroke, or
tightening its violence, If a wise and mysterious
Providence shall have decreed that our favored
village shall no longer be spared. On Saturday
last tidings reached us that it had broken out in
Shepherdstown, with threatening and fatal vi
olence. We have understood that no new case
has occurred since Sunday last, and that there
have been in all eleven deaths. We deeply
sympathize with the citizens of our neighboring
village, and trust that the disease may not get
foothold epidemic among them. We have
also understood that one case occurred in Charles
town on Friday night, and another case of a
doubtful character since, both Of which termina-
ted fatally. We beg leave to recommend the
matter to the serious consideration Of our citizens
Wherever, and with whatever violence it has
ragged, physicians have borne testimony to the
fact that few have fallen victims except through
indiscretion or exposure. Hundreds of cases are
distinctly traced TO disregard Of premonitory
symptoms. We do not advise the use of medi-
cine b., the unskilfal, but prompt application
to physicians upon the appearance Of any symp-
tom of The disease.

MIssoURI.-By the apportionment Of
the representation in Congress made at
the late session of Congress, this state
is entitled to two members in that body.
In pursuance Of the law of the state,
one (Gen. Ashly) was elected last year;
SO that an election for another one takes
place at the ensuing August election.
There are five candidates for the office:
Hon. George Shannon, formerly of
this county; James III. Birch, former
ly Of Cynthiana, KY; George r.
Stroller; Doct. John Bull; and G. C.
.Sibley-all ofwhom profess to be Jack
son men, but of different grades: Shan
non, Strother, and Birch, are of the
true Jackson Van Buren, stamp. Bull
and Sibley are professed Jackson men,
but are favorable to a renewal of the
charter of the U. S. Bank; and Mr..
Sibley is also in favor of Mr.. Clay's
Land Bill as it passed both houses of
Congress at the last session.
The friends of each appear pretty
sanguine of success, especially the
friends of Mr.. Shannon, who is, as a
politician, the most exceptionable a.
mong them.-Ler. Ky. OBS. d. Rep.
The IndidnS.-We learn from the
last Galenian that Col. Dodge has ac-
complished the entire removal of the
Winnebago Indians across the Wiscon-
sin, in accordance with the treaty Of
last summer.
The same paper states that during
the payment of the Winnebago Indian
Annuity, few days previous, at Fort
Winnebago, fifty barrels of Whiskey
were sold to them; that they generally
became intoxicated; and in an affray
one Indian woman and several children
were killed. The Indian who CON-
mittcd the murders was Immediately
shot, by order of chief, called Little
Priest.-Mhssour; Rep.
We Suspect the truth of this state

Chesapeake aud Ohio Cdsdl Co.--An
adjourned General Meeting of the
Stockholders of this Company was
held at the City Hall in Washington
on Monday last, at which majority
of the Stock was represented.
The following Resolution, moved by
one of the Representatives of the State
of Maryland, was agreed TO:
"Resolred, That the President and
Directors Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company endeavor TO procure
an amendment to the Charter by which
to cause Commissioners to be appointed
after the mode the Legislature may
prescribe, to ascertain and determine
all injuries 81 damages that may accrue
to private property, whereby to dis
pense with the use of Juries: and that
the same President and Directors be
authorized, two-thirds being present
and agreeing thereto, to ask for any
alteration of the Charter which they
may deem necessary"
And then the Meeting was further
adjourned to the ID Monday in Decem-
Der next.-Nat. Int.
James Cowan, ESQ.,, of Lexington,
(Ky.) and Commonwealth Attorney
for that Judicial District, committed SUI
icide on Sunday evening, the 2sth ult.,
by shooting himself through the head
with a pistol. Mr.. Cowan was but
lately married TO an amiable and in
teresting young lady of Frankfort
He was a profound lawyer, and as a
man was universally esteemed. The
melancholy act is attributed to aliena-
ton of mind, as no other cause for il
can be even conjectured.
The editor of the New York Daily
Advertiser, Theodore Dwight, Esq.
who was Secretary of the Hartford
Convention, says that his history ofthe
proceedings. that far-famed body will
probably be ready for the press in two
or three weeks, and will be published
in as short time thereafter as the ma
ture of the case will admit. He says
that it will be found very different from
any speculations which have been form
ed as to its probable character. We
know of no work which will be read
with deeper interest at this moment
than the history of that concIave of
New England nullifiers and seceders,
or one which will be of more value, as
showing the soil in which those danger
Gus doctrines first took root.

dreadful disaster at the Coal Pits turns out to DO
UNTRUE. The Richmond Wing received BY last
nights mail says:-
I" The facts are simply these: The negroes in
the pits being much alarmed by the earthquake,
rushed at once to the month ofthe shaft. When
they arrived there, the curve was about 70 a.

hands, without being able TO get into it--and
when he had ,aacended the distance Of about
one hundred 1T. his strength relaxing. his
grasp gave way, and he fell. dashing out his own
