rreatment ~ Choiern.

DR.. Parkins, Of London, has published a
pamphlets, in which he advises as the most Of
fectual remedy inthe case Of Cholera, whether
"A static or English, the administering Of carbo-
nate acid in shape of bicarbonate Of soda, or
potash and an acid, or else powderedcharcoal.
In reference to this subject, Mr.. Hopkins, Of
Litchfeld Hall, near Manchester, in aletter adj
dressed to a contemporary says: "a remedy
more eficacious than the above saline draughts
and more simple in it's application, isa wine
glass full ofLucca oil, (salad oil taken the mo-
ment the patient is attacked with the first symp-
toms OF the cholera, can give you most
ample proof Of what have just stated I'M few
lines. In 1887, when the cholera was raging in
Italy, and when the victims were several hun
dred per diem in Genoa, the captain and crew
of Sicllian vessel lying at anchor in the above
portwere, one and all attack by that scourge
simultaneously, and the'captain, whose name is
Paolo Lafauci, (whom know personality told
me that he drank half tumbler of olive oil,
and ordered the whole Of his men, thirteen in
number to do the. same; and, strange to say,
that none of them died, though many vessels
that were adjoining Captain Lafauci's had their
crews. attacked and great many died. This
fact is quite conclusive, as to the efficacy of
olive oil. Ihave known several persons abroad
bitten by he scorpion, and by applying few,
drops of olive oil to the wound, their lives have
bsen spared Indeed, when we know that olive
oil is chiefly composed ofcarbon and hydrogen,
do not see why it should not act better than
the oxygen and carbon of the decomposition
of the carbonate Of soda orrot ash"

From Santa Fe.

From letters written about the first Of Sep
TENDER, we learn, that Gen. Kearney was still
at Santa Fe. He had given orders for the
movement of the troops on an expedition shou'
one hundred and fifty miles 10 the intenoa.--
They were to leave on the second Of Septefn,
Der, and would, it was supposed, be absent
about two weeks. By the time Of their return
i was expected that the Mormon battalion Of
Infantry, under the command of Lieut.. Col
Smith, would have arrived at Santa Fe, and
then the expedition against California was to
commence. In this expectation they would
be, however, disappointed, as letters from Col
Smith, written on the route, say that he would
not be able to reach Santa Fe before the first
Of October. 1t had been determined that the
two companies of Dragons under the COM
mand of Capts Moore and Cook, and the bat
talon Of Mormon infantry, were to accompany
Gen. Kearney on the expedition to California.
None Of the Missouri volunteers were to be
employed in this service. I'M.
We further learn, that, after the departure of
Gen. Kearney, the remainder of the force was
to be divided. One-half Of it was to remain
at Santa Fe, including the battalion of artille-
ryy under the command of Major Clark, and a
company Of dragons under Capt, Sumner
The remainder of the force, under Col. Don-
phan, was to march to Chihuahua, there to be
attached to Gen.. Wool's army. 1t was sup
posed that he would arrive there in October,
but it is not probable that he left San Antonio
before the first of the month.
We learn nothing of Col. Price's regiment,
but presume that he.would continue his mafoh
without any unnecessary delay, to California.
Major Walker, who was with Col Price, was
anxiously looked forat Santa Fe, by the voIun-
teers, who wanted their pay.
Some of the traders had sold out their stocks
Of goods at Santa Fe, at small advance
Others were waiting to hear of the enterence
Of Gen. Wool into Chihuahua, to which pidce
they intened to proceed in q few. weeks tThel
overunning of the country by the American
army, seems to be regarded as q matter Of
ceurse.-St. Louis Republican.

TO THE WINGS OF VERMONT

Alta period of unusual interest ofthe
political affairs of the country, you are
again called upon TO perform one OF
vOur most reenone,Ll., = -';.----i i,..:~-i
III sstItEtlhg whom you would have to
rule over you. The undersigned, your
Central Committee, deem the occasion
an appropriate one to make few sug-
gestlons Tor your consideration.
The Wing State Convention has
placed before you the names of Hon
ACE EATON, LEONARD SARGENTs and
ELISHA p. JEwETT as candidates for
the highest State officers within your
gift. To represent you in Congress,
your District Conventions have nom.
mated WILLIAM Henry, JACOB COL
LAMER, GEO, p, MARSH and GEO. b.
CHANDLER.
1t is hardly necessary for us to say
Tint these gentlemen are fully entitled
to your confidence and support. You,
who are to vote for them, know them,
They are sound, patriotic, enlightened
Wings.
But worthy us these gentlemen all
are of our highest respect and COM
mendation, it is not of them especially,
that we now propose to speak. Our
object is briefly to call your attention
TO thePrlnciples which lie at the found
alton Of the political contest that is to
be determined on the first day of Sept.
next.
1t is scarcely eighteen months since
the accession Of James X. Polk to the
Presidency, But brief as this period
has been, it has nevertheless been suf-
fiolent to develope systematic q con-
slstent purpose, on the part thePres-
ident and his subservient followers, to
bring the North into complete political
subJeCtion to the South-to substitute
Southern Policy in the management of
the General Government in lieu oft
great and beneficial "Ameriaan Sys,
TEN" under whose operation the whole
Country has reached its present condi-
ton Of almost unexampled prosperi-
ty.
In pursuance Of this purpose the ex-
istence of which recent events leave rs
no room TO doubt
Texas has been annexed to tbisJJn-
ion I'M manner not authorized by,and
in violation of, the Constitution
The State of Texas has been admit
ted into the Confedracy, with Consti-
tuition in express terms prohibiting the
emancipation of Slaves; and by an nm.
just d unwarrantable exercise ofpow-
er, four votes have been given to her
in the Congress of the United States:
A war for the preservation of the
Territory and influence thus unlawful
ly acquired, has been forced upon the
country by the act of the President a.
lone, without theConstitutionil author
ity of Congress.
TheTariffof | sf2 has been repealed,
and a tariff framed on the avowed prin
ciple and policy Of free-tradeshas been
enacted i'll les stead, thereby incuring
disaster and ruin upon the
