THr U. SrArss FReArs ST. LAWRENCE was at
Bremen on the llth day Of July, and was to leave
in few days for Copenhagen and ST. Petersburgh.
The following is an extract Of letter received from
one of her oficers:-" The Germans are making
great preparations to repel any attack made by the
Danish squadron. They appeared disappointed at
helping them, for they really believed that
we came here for that purpose. The Danish squad
ron has been for some time blocksding the mouth
Of the river, (the Weser) but Captain Psulding was
determined to 90 into Bremen; 80 the first heuIen-
ant gave orders to get the ship ready for action,
the guns were shoued, spare tackles got up pistols
distributed to the boarders and officers; every thing
made ready for desperate engagement. Three
ships we're seen from our mast head--one standing
across our bows, the other two on the quarter.
We beat to quarters--csst loose the battery, and
waited very patiently for their coming. The off,
GERS wore the boarding belt with cutlass and pistol
Our men were all ripe for the fight; bu, they were
mstaken--no such good luck The Admirl's
ship passed ahead. We lowered boat and sent
a message to the Commodore, who let us pass.

The WICHITA GoLD REeIos.-The excitement
increases in the western part of Arkansas, in re-
gard to the alleged existence of gold among the
Wichita mountains. Continual statements are
published to corroborate the original reports. The
latest that we have is in letter from Doaks-
vile, in the Cherokee nation, which says that some
one recently brought down dubious root, picked
up in valley among these mountains. In order
to keep it fresh, he retained quantity of earth
around it and placed it in sack When taken from
the sack and the earth washed it found to be full
of particles of pure gold This may or may not be
true, but it is so much like an old story of an
English naturalist, who took plants from California
and found gold among their roots that it certainly
is not original. At all events, there is an excite
ment in Arkansas, and great fears expressed
lest the gold region may be in the territory of the
Cherokee nation, guaranteed to them by our gov
eminent. In this case the Indians will claim all
the profits.

of living had not given ample cause for sickness.
That many cases reported cholera are not so is
obvious. Destituton, neglect intempcrance, care
less excess in drinking cold water, and eating half
cooked, unripe vegetables, reduced many the last
extreme of ordinary diarrhea, or cholera morbus.
