NEWSPAPER POSTAGE,

We think we express the voice of near
ly the whole newspaper Press ofthe Union,
when we say we shall not regret the loss
Of Mr.. Cave Johnson's services, as Post
Master General. His obstinacy in taxing
newspapers with postage,-circulating in
the county in which they are published, is
only equalled by his absurd suggestion that
editors should dry their papers before they
are put into the mails, by which time the
news would be as far behind time, as the
Post Master General is behind the age in
which he lives. We copy the following
from the Carlisle Volunteer:
'The press and the people have, in voice
approaching unanimity, asked that newspa-
pers be permitted 10 be carried free of post
age TO any part of the country in which they
are published; and yet in the face Of this
the Post Master General recommends that
newspapers pay postage of ''one cent the
ounce !" He recommends a reduction in
ltttCE Ms W li Suit thc n1chcS VI
wealthy men-men of business-but will be
of very little advantage to the poor man.
Thus it is too often, that the prayer of the
nabob is listened TO with respect, and grant
ed, when at the same time the prayers of the
masses are entirely disregarded. We do
hope that the good sense Of the members Of
Congress will induce them to pass bill abol-
ishing that part of the present law, requiring
postage for newspapers. BY doing so they
will but grant the prayer of the people. If
the Post Master General is sincere in desiring
a cheap rate of Postage, he cannot and will
not oppose the passage Of such law. But
whether he opposes it or not, the member of
Congress who desires the respect and conf
dence Of his constituents will not dare Op-
pose it," rs

LEWIS CASS. JR.

The New York Evening Post, the lead
ing Democratic paper in New York, han
dies President Polk, pretty severely, for the
nomination of Lewis Cass, jr., as charge to
Rome. The Post advises the Senate to re-
ject the nomination, and says that the only
merit, if merit il can be, which recon-
mended him to the Office, is that he is the
son Of an eminent man. The Post has no
idea that men of superior abilities and long
standing in the party, should be thrust a.
side, to make room for personal favorites.

CURE FOR THE CHOLERA.

DR.. Thomas Miller, presiden, of the Wash
ington board of health, has furnished, from a
Constantinople journal, for the National Intel
ligencer, what John Barker, former consnl
general of England, in Egypt, claims as an
infallible remedy for the cholera. 1t is as
follows:
GAS soon as the vomiting and diarrhG COM
mence, place the legs of the patient, up TO
the knee, in water not too hot to the touch ;
throw in six or seven hapdfuls of course salt
cause the legs to be rubbed violently by two
persons, with both hands, open the large
the large vein in both feet and allow the
blood to flow in warm water for ~ or 20
minutes, according to the age or sex of the
patient, or stage Of the disease.
During this time keep the water of the
same temperature that it was when the
limbs were first inserted, by adding more
warm wafer. The natural animal heat ofthe
body will be Immediately restored and felt
the patient will commence at once speaking,
and asking for nourishment. He will be per-
fectly prepared to resume his duties in day
or so. "
OF sixty laborers attacked with cholera,
whom have attended, several had beed sud-
denly seized while at work in the field,
others, after having retired in perfect health,
about day-break have been aroused from
sound sleep with the usual symptoms at the
greatest height. Aid could rarely be obtain
ed under half an hour, or an hour and half,
sometimes six or seven houls, and in one in
stance ten hours had elapsed y still after CIV
ing this remedy fair trial, was the cure so
perfect, that they were enabled 10 return to
their labor in five or six days after the attack.
In some cases the very next day, or the day
after, saw them restored.
II has occurred in some rare cases, that the
blood not flowing sufficiently at the time, the
patient was bled second time. In such
cases, the second bleeding must take place in
the arm, and not iu the feet In no case has
this treatment failed.
A remarkable feature in this remedy, is the
immediate and perfect re-esiablshmen' OF
the health of the patient who, instead of To-
sing his strength, seems, on the contrary. to
acquire it,"

10 Winter has fairly set in at last. On
Friday Of last week we had quite an inter
esting snow storm. The foundation was
rather soft, but snow of about six inches
afforded tolerably good sleighing, On
Wednesday we had another edition ofabout
six inches of snow, which makes the sleigh
ing from "fair to midling," and quite an
improvement on the slushy ways ofa few
days previous.

A HOAx.

Some ofour grave and knowing citizens
were most prodigously hoaxed few days
since, by few of our young California as
pirants, who We're awfully afflicted with the
gold fever. A rumor had beed spread some
days previous that application had been
made for Commissions in California. One
morning last week, when the Post Office
was crowded, a young gentleman whisper
ed TO the P. NJ, who was in the secret,
and who in whisper moro audible, replied
that ga large package under the frank Of
Senator Cameron had arrived and that all
no doubt, was right" In moment the
package was opened, which contained
commissions for three young gentlemen
anxious to distinguish themselves in Cali
fornia. One was Judgeship, the others
appointments as Marshalls for the Eastern
and Western districts. A gentleman pre-
sent read the commissions with gravity
peculiar TO himself All was right and no
mistake. The Post Office was cleared in
short metre. The information was rapidly
communicated. One portly gentleman was
seen to make bee line across the street, to
communicate the intelligence. His friend
doubted. "Didnt l." said he, sssee the
commissions with my own eyes, and heard
them read, the Presidents name, and all.
Learned and eloquent comments were made
by the learned and unlearned, upon the
advantages and disadvantages, the means of
getting to Ell Dorado, and the future pros
poets of the lucky individuals, now on the
high road to fame
Wh'se hcnorswih increase OF ages grew,
Asstrcnms rol down, enhrgng us they go.
Judge B. used every excrtion to assume
character, which seemed wholly alien to
his naturally comic disposition. Marshall
p, looked as grave as Chief Justice Taney
himself, while Marshall NJ. was in a state of
betweenity graciously smiling upon all who
congratulated him for this well deserved
reward for his gallantry in Mexico. But
there must be an end to all things human.
The joke was too good to keep long, and in
a day or two it was ascertained that the
commissions were some twenty or thirty
years old. The gentleman who had read
theN did SO without his spectacles. Thus

NEW INVENTION.

The most extraordinary invention of The
age is the chemical telegraph of Mr.. Balm,
now in New York. Wonderful as are the
present systems for transmitting intelligence,
this upon an entirely Few plan, appears, ac-
cording to the New York Express, to excel
them all. The npidity OF communication
from one 10 all almost infinite number of sta
tions, is among the wonders of this instrument
This intelligence may be prepared in England
or OH board of steamer, ready for the elec-
irical machine, and the machine once started,
the news flies, if possible, with more than
the lapdity Of thought. By this rapdity,
one wire is made to take the place of many,
and thus the expense will be greatly dimin-
ished.
The Copying Telegraph transmits a fac
simile Of the hand writing of the party send
ing the communication, the advantage of
which must be obvious 10 every one.
Another curiosity here is that all these adj
vantages likewise apply to clocks, which will
run three years and upwards without clean
ing and without any attention to the course
Of electricity, and the time is regularly indi-
Gated the year through without winding, or
any attention to the instrument,
