er than in any other place in the United States. where
the cholera has ragged as an epidemic. To show how
far we are correct, we suhjoin an extract of a letter
from a friend. living in Washington, dated
July 10, 6 O'Clock p. NJ, 1919.
" Since yesterday evening, 6 O'Clock. there have been ten
deaths from cholera-six more will die before morning
Among the number who have died to-day. G. r. Bal d, John
b. Coleman, OF the firm Of Honiug s Coleman, DR.. Miller
and John Divine. Times are gloomy here. Every one who
could leave, has left. Some have gone TO the Martin coun-
ty Springs, but the cholera follows them wherever they go
The place is nearly vacated"
From what we can learn, Washington can not now
have more than 500 inhabitants left, and 10 death;
a day out of that number, is a far greater mortality
than in any other place, as before stated, in tho Uni
ted States. Several families from Washington are
now in Vincennes. where we hope they will remain
free from the fetid breath of the fell destroyer"
Napoleon, Ind.-The Decatur Clarion says:
w learn Of several cases of cholera in the town Of Ma
poleon. Mr.. MaIklsnd, and q man in his employ, died OF
Sunday, and Mrs. Hicks, lady Of Dr.. Hicks, and a lady from
Lawrenceburg on Wednesday and another the FIST of thu
week, name unknown.
There have been two or three other cases, among then
DIR. Hicks and his son-in-law, but we lean they are recov-
cred.
p. s. Since the above was in type, we hear Of the dealt
of DR.. Hicks's son-in-law, and that there were two new
cases in the vicinity Of Napoleon yesterday"

MAsnINnrON. Feh.

WAsHIYGTog, Feb. II.
have inst listened to the most cheering
speerh of the sessiOn.--thht of Hon. Aylelt
Bnckner, of Kentucky against the extension
Of slavery, aud in distinct approval OF the
application OF the Wilmot proviso to New
Mexico and California. 1t was the first
Southern speech in the House expressly on
the right side Of the question, and no man
could have desired a better one-caln, sol
ia, earnest, aud fortified at every point ny
authorities that rendered 1t nnanswerable.
Mr. Buckner quoted numerous Judicial de-
cisions not only of the Federal Courts up
10 the highest, bat also of the Courts OF the
slayeholdng States, Louisiana and Missls-
sippi inclusive, forming an nnbroken cham
Of legal confirmation Of the principle that
Freedom is the universal law, Slavery The
casual and local exception, aud that Slavery
can never exist except by virtue Of positive
municipal law and not one inch Farther than
such law has jurisdiction. Now these new
Territories wfested from Mexico are to-day
free from slavery--free by express munich
pal law when we acquired it, and free
therefore until a law equally express shall
establish slavery therein. The Law OF Ma
tions is IN explicit accordance with our own
Judicial decisions on this point. There can
be no slavery, then in the new Territories
unless and until Congress or the Legislature
Of Slate or States formed therefron shall
EXPRESSLY establish it. Is there any proba-
Ibiliiy any hope, that slavery viii thus be
established? Isthere one Northern member
on this floor who could vote for such estab-
lishment without moral certainty Of being
discarded aud branded by his constituents.
We know there is not one. VIII the States
established therein by frec-labor popula-
tion proceed hereafter to bring in slavery
We know they will not. The soil is not at
al adapted 10 slave labor; II has been tried

M. NJ. STRouG.-The Argus at Madison,
in abiding TO the progress of the Legisla-
turs in their action upon the reports of the
Revisors, pays handsome compliment To
the distinguished member from Racine dis
uict. II says:
4" 0R-ihose. who have devoted themselves
most heartily to the revision, N. NJ. STong
stands pre-eminens. His great talents, pro-
found craftsmanship and legal knowledge,
perfec ted by long experience in all the pub
lie and private business of the State, pecu-
liarly fit him for this work, and he has de-
voted himself to it with zeal fully equalto
his ability. No political differences shall
prevent us from saying that he is doing an
incalculahe service to the people, and that
his great talents were probably never more
uselully employed, although on a dry and
thanFl'ss work. When we see this great
man aus usefully and periodically engaged,
we cannot but indulge feeling of regret for
the causes that have made him other than
the head and glory of the democratic party"

incidentally the universal interests of trade
and agriculture in our midst as well as to
secure in the end liberal dividend for the
support of schools? If the railroad were
completed, we would sooner trust education
upon the basis of direct tax, so much
would wealth and taxabiity be enhanced,
than to trust education to the fund alone,
without such road. Besides, if this road is
carried forward, the fund accrung from the
school lands will be much larger and much
SOONER realized. 1t will at once create
market for the school lands. If railroads
have invariably advanced the price of lands
through which they are constructed from
one or two dollars to twelve dollars an acre,
for the distance of eighteen miles on each
side of the road, let us see how much this
road would directly add to the value of our
school lands, Within eighteen miles of the
road, there would be about one hundred and
seventy towns containing one hundred and
eight thousand acres of land. Suppose this
land to be increased in value ten dollars per
acre, aud you have enhanced its value 81

cient to make the road.

piece OF intelligence from that celebrated region
is read with the g eatest avdty, and there is much
anxiety manifested for the receipt Of some of the
gold with which it abounds.
Our readers are aware that Col. Fremont. SON.
in-law of Col. Benton, Senator from Missouri,
some time since left for California, and that his
lady took her departure Tor the same region few
DAYS ago Col Benton himself will soon follow
suit, ssteRslbly with the view ef seeing the gold
mines himself, and getting ocular demonstration
OF their wealth and abundance but really, we
believe, for different purpose. 1t will be recol-
lected that Mr. Benton indIted letter to the peo-
pie OF California, and has from the commencement
taken great interest In the affairs of that country
From present appearances there is every probabll-
ty that that country will soen come into the Union
rs State aud as Mr. Benton's term of service in
the United States Senate will soon expire, and as
there ID but little chance OF mis- being reelected by
missouri, we would not be surp. sed If Mr. Benton
has an eye 10 beng returned to the Senate by the
new State u California. THIS view Is strengthened
when we consider the course which Mr. Benton
has teen, for some Time back, pursuing in regard
TO Caliionia-his writing a letter to the peoole

Polk, in connection with the same subject: the
