FApH TELEoRAPuIc RKPoRTs.-Scarcely day
passes but, in looking over our Western exchanges,
We End complaints of false teegraphic reports from
heir own imme diate vicinity, published in the New
York papers, and especially with regard to the cho
lera We have for rome time noticed that the reports
from ST. Louis do not at all correspond with the
official reports published in the papers Of that city.
The Pittsburgh Gazette, Of the Goth ult, complains OF
fhe manner in which the cholera reports OF that
city are exaggerated and most Justly; for while the
epidemic was prevalent in that city We often re-
eeivsd despatches Of from twenty 10 fifty deaths
per day having occurred, while the whole number,
from the first appearance Of the epidemic. has not
exceeded one hundred If the reports generally
are not more reliable than those alluded to, il
would be better TO do entirely without the aid Of
the electric transmssions, and wait the arrival Of
ne news by the regular mails. We would advice
ell concerned to be more careful and particular.
L. s.-Before the ink was dry, in recording the
above false teegraphic reports, the New Orleans
papers come to us complaining Of report published
in the papers of this city, of the deacaton Of the
cashier Of bank in that city, and the trial Of
thsr citizen for forgery, neither Of which were
known in New Orleans. Who is il that cause.

Mons NosKr AND PATRIOTISM WANrrD.-A
meeting was held last evening, for the purpose Of
soliciting and creating fund for the benefit Of the
lady Of John Mitchell, the prosecuted lrish patriot
Several limitations have recently been put forth,
that a certain amount Of money would be gladly
accepted for the purpose Of making sum equal TO
Father Mathews pension, which he does not like,
and Is willing to give up. All these purposes are
very good, very patriotic, and very generous; but
during the last few months we have not forgotten
that over thirty thousand dollars was collected in
shls country for the Irish cause, and that by the
last return made by the committee, it was acknow-
lodged that twenty-five thousand dollars Of that
amount was remaining il the hands Of hr. Emmett
asd his associates, as sound and safe repositories
for what had not been expended. We should like
10 kn,w why some Of this money should not be
need for the purposes now before the world, instead
of ealing in fresh subscriptions and more patriot
im in these hot days and cholera weather.
We ask again and agais, Of Nr. Emmett and that
committee, what has become Of the twenty-five
thousand dollars and why IT is not forthcoming ior
some public and generous purpose De the COM
rniuee conslder that money as their own properly,
and do they spend il for their own purposes DO
LET us know.

National Fast.

This day is to be observed throughout the Union
n Fast Day. In nearly all the Northern States, the
Governors, Bishops, and Mayors, have issued their
proelsmations urging the people to be governed by
fhs recommendation of President Taylor.
This is not the first National Fast Day There
have been ten or twelve since the Declaration Of
Independence. There eight public fasts dur
ing the revolution. There was one In August,
1884, another in September, 1918, and another in
January, 1885, and there eight or ten Thanks
sivings ordered by Congress during the early pc
nod Of the republic. The recommendation Of
President Taylor is, therefore, no innovation In
1his country
We have given the proclamations of the Presi-
dent, of Gov. Fish, and Mayor Woodruff, in ano-
fher column. We hope and trust that the people
will be governed by them.

AN AMERICAN FLEET ORDERED TO HAVANA
THE NKw ORLEANS ABDUCTION CAsE.-It appears
that Commodore Parker has been ordered to pro-
seed with the home squadron to Cuba, and de-
mand the release of the Spaniard, Francisco Rey,
who was abducted, as is alleged, from New Or
leans, through the instrumentality of the Spanish
Lonsul at that port, and conveyed candestinely to
Havana. This promptness is very commendable,
and we rejoice at this action Of the administration
In the matter Commodore Parker should not
only demand the release Of the Spaniard, but
should likewise obtain reparation for the insult
which the Spanish Consul offered TO our flag. The
pride of the Spanish government of Havana will,
NO doubt, be touched by this movement on the
part Of our government, and they may possibly
fuse our demand, and show fight. We hope they
Will, and that 1t may be necessary TO thrash them
int doing right. If they do, we will have
chance Of sending General Scott and a few mus.
sangs to Cuba, to try the mette Of the Cubans.
We hope, too, that the administration will take
proper notice Of the interference Of England with
The rights Of American citizens in Mosquito. Mr.
Abbott Lawrence, of Boston, will not, it i. said,

He, however, is not a fit person to ma
mage such a business. lie wants the ne

authorize Mr.. Bancroft to settle the matter, al
though he is almost too much English in his feel
inSs, having been too much praised and courted
BY the aristocracy of that country. The whole
lever OF inc government should be invoked in
she matter, rather than perm; the British govern
nent to carry out ts views in regard to the drunken
and beeolted frotfge Of theirs, the boy-king of
Mosquito. We should also despatch minister TO

subject, and unite with it in driving the n-..;i
-, must not be allowed to get

no doubt playing deep game there-one that, if
not nipped in the bud at once. may give US great
deal Of trouble hereafter.
The administration made great mistake in re-
gard the expedition IN search OF Sir John Frank
Inn; but they can retrieve themselves by acting
promptly towards the government Of Cuba in the
one csse, and that Of England on the Mosquito
question IN the other.

him, we would hardly believe he was dead,

take occurred thus An individual By the

absence &c several weeks, and most post
lively denies the allegation Of the Charlotte

By reference to the above, II will be
seen that the Odd Fellows of this place

silence. Our readers will recollect that

ting The fact Of the death of the Rev. Dr.
McCabe were published by US al their re
