humanity seems once more on iis way 10 raw
ago the continent Of Europe, originating, as
before IN The heart OF Asia, northern Persia be-
ing the first qu,rler in which il was no,iced; Il
u gradually approaching the confines Of Europe.
The chief cities Of Persia already count by
thousands the number OF their dead who have
fallen victims to Asiaiic cholera.
The line Of route taken by it appears 10 be-
almost due West, for il attacked in regular sue
cession the cities Of Bokhara, Herat, Meshed,
Teheren and lpaban, while recent accounts
frc IN Odessa state that two or three cases of
Asatic cholera had been observed at Tihis.
Should 1t continue 10 advance at it's present
rate it may be locked for in Eastern Europe in
very short time.
Indeed, it is stated from Riga, that il has
already broken out a. Orenburg and Kasan,
and that several persons at st. Petersburg have
been attacked by the influenza, disease that
usually precedes the cholera,--G German paper.

lature, cas- sent special agents to ascertain the
dispositions of these Indians, with the view Of
taking steps to protect the frontier, should they
appear hostile. 1'he Camanches are a M.
merous and per6dious race, land we trust ifthey
make single demonsti alton, the United States
will call out our Choctaws against them IN.
