bic events Of all nations from the earliest period to
the present time, forming complete history Of the
world by G. G. Hebbc, L. L. D.,--Dewitt and Da-
venport, Tribune buildings, New York.
We have received the seven numbers Of
the above valuable work. We have not had
time to peruse them, but the work comes
to US highly recommended by the Press. It
is got up in in elegant style in numbers Of
1l2 pages each at 25 cts. per number. The
work will be completed in about twenty
numbers at intervals of about month. The
New York Tribune, speaking Of the work,
says: "it seems one excellently adapted to
the wants Of that large class who deserve a
general knowledge of history, but have no
time to read great many volumes for it.
The style is forcible and the facts well cho-
sen and arranged.

GOLD DOLLARS.

A bill has been reported in Congress,
authorising the coinage of Gold dollars by
the U. S. Mint. As the measure meets no
opposition, it will, no doubt, become law.
The Gold dollars, will be about the size Of
a half dime, and the only objection urged
is, that they are liable to be mistaken for
half dimes. A writer in the Washington
Union suggests remedy for this by COIN
ing the pieces with square hole in the
centre. We would prefer the hole being
round, as better adapted for stringing up the
pieces. By this means we can dispense
with purses, and take one off the string, as
we may want, provided always if we have
any to string. 1t would also be convenient
for Banks. A string of one hundred would
make handsome little coil. We are tru-
ly in Golden Age. If the California
mines should not run out, in a few years
we may expect to find gold dollars rattling
in every mans pocket.

OUR FLAG ABROAD.

The fine frigate St. Lawrence, commanded
by Capt. PAuLDlNc, has been displaying the
American flag in The North sea, the Baltic,
and in the British Channel. Everywhere it
has been greeted with distinguished atten-
ton.
A letter from one of the officers who ac-
companied Capt. PAULDINc, states that
throughout the excursion the uniform was
passport 10 hospiialities Of the most flattering
and liberal character. The King of Prussia,
in his reception Of them, left nothing undone
that could render their visit gratifying. Be-
sides being conveyed 10 the palace and back
to the depot in the royal carriages, they were
driven through his grounds, attended by an
officer of high rank, for three or four hours,
and were then received by the patriarch of
travel and science, Baron Humboldt, the
Kings principal and confidential counsellor,
and entertained with royal breakfast The
following is the conclusion of the officers let
ter:
"a committee of the Frankfort Assembly
(ihey represent all the states Of Germany en-
tertained us in magnificent style; our navy
and country were toasted in every way that
could be thought of by the assembled wis
dom, and speeches were made and every
thing doue 10 crafty US. About fifty were
present-as many as the room would hold
and we were pressed to remain longer and
dine with others Of the Assembly on the fol.
lowing day. The Arch Duke John, a very
important parsonage now in Germany, also
invited us to dine, and the most splendid pri.
vate hospitalities were provided for US, if we
would only remain. We were even impor.
tuned TO do so, but Captain p. was apprehen-
sive that our noble frigate would be frozen
up in the Weser, if he remained as long as
the good people of Germany would have us
"You cannot conceive, and it is really in
credible, the sensation produced by the arri-
val Of this frigate on the shores Of Germany.
Every body, until our departure, smiled upon
us, and may say received US with open
arms. There has been nothing too good for
u.s."

Average of deaths II per cent.
In Vienna the cholera appeared in its most
frightful form, all the hospitals were ordered
to be fitted up for the reception of patients
attacked with this plague, and the Home-
pathic among the rest. A Government COM
mission was appointed to examine into the
treatment of the different hospitals, and TO re-.
port daily the exact state Of matters. When
the reports were laid before Government, and
the reports published, the superior efficacy of
the treatment in the Homeopathic hospital
was so manifest, that it gave great impulse
to the system. The Homeopathic hospital is
now largely attended by students, and the
Government have established professorship,
10 instruct in its principles and practice.
In fact the surprising results wherever tried,
as the above tables show, was to spread the
new system over the entire civilized globe.
In face of such Developments in treat
ment of such disease as the cholera, as well
as the remarkable results of the treatment Of
the yellow fever by DR.. Davis, of Natchez,
by Homeopathic medicines,-,o denounce
Hahneman as charlatan, to assail his disc-
pies as visionaries or knaves, and to scof at
Homeopathy as humbug, is i, no, puerile,
undignided and presumptuous!
I leave the above facts to speak for them
selves, feeling that this community have a
right TO know what can be done for the cure
Of this dreaded malady should we be 80 un.
fortunate as to experience its violence.

years aso" -
The shafts Of death are flying around us
thick and fast. We have scarcely time to
recover from the shock occasioned bv tho
death of a friend or relative, until another
victim is added TO the list. Frail indeed
is the tenure of this life, and yet with what
pertlnacity do we all cling to its last thread
its vain desires and its evanescent hopes.
The death of MIR. Budd, came upon us sud-
denly and unexpected. Until within few
weeks past, the deceased was a resident Of
misplace. He came amongst us about eight
years since, stranger, and has left behind
him large circle of friends who knew and
appreciated his worth as man, and his
consistent and irreproachable conduct a, a
christian. The deceased has left wife and
two children, to whom he was most deyo.
tedly attached, to mourn their sudden be-
reavement. Although in the prime Of life,
his health, oflate, had become inirm, pro-
badly by a too close and assiduous attention
to hisduties, which he discharged with the
most scrupulous exactness. The deceased
was a jealous and efficient member of the
Baptist Church, and his death will be re-
GREETED, not only by his fellow members of
that church, but by all who have q regard
for moral worth and christian rectitude.

EURoPEAN INTELLIGENCE BY THE
STEAMSHIP CANADA.

The intelligence brought by the Canada,
al New York, is not very important POLITICAL
ly.
The California fever ragged in England
quite Is violently as it has done here. Great
numbers Of vessels were up for the gold re-
gion-some carrying passengers to Chagres,
others to Galveston, &c; rates ranging from
E25 upwards. All sorts of schemes for rails.
ing companies and capital are advertised.
One OF the companies alone proposes to raise
q capital Of 100000 reserving half to be
taken in the United States. The Times eau.
tions the public against these schemes, many
OF which were mere swindles. 1t says
That the country will be pandemonium
long before any one can reach il from this
side is hardly to be doubted, unless, indeed,
the United States Government shall have
been able to establish a blockade and Gordon
in which case the new arrivals will have to
get back as well as they can. But there is
no question that the first comers stand the
chance of large gain if they are able to fight
for it, and there is little danger Of starvation,
since the district abounds with deer and rab-
bits, and grain will flow there in quantities
from the Southern republics, while as regards
articles of manufacture, the Sandwich Islands,
long overstocked, will be able to send sup.
plies. Those who 60 out have, therefore, at
all events, some compensating prospect for
their risk, but for those at home who may be
deluded into parting with their money, not a
shadow Of its return can exist.
In France the new President seems to en-
counter serious difficulties. He had demand
ed of the Minister of the Interior, Nj. de NAL
leville, certain documents, and made the de.
mand in tone which was deemed un peu
uJ, whereupon the whole Ministry resigned.
The President then made explanations which
satisfied all but the Minister of the Interior,
" ho withdrew, and was replaced BY M. Leon
Foucher. M Bixio Withdrew with him from
the Department of Commerce, and is repla-
ced by M. Buffet.
The President also attempted 10 supersede
large number of projects in the provinces
and to appoint the sons of Ney and M. Boissy
to high diplomatic posts, but was forced TO
give way. His popularity has been seriously
injured. The Assembly is petiiioned con-
stantly to dissolve, and committee has SUBJ
nitted proposition for new election on the

70 The appearance of the Cholera in
the South, has given rise to considerable
discussion in regard to its treatment. A
writer in the Port Gibson (Miss.) Herald,
who is Homeopathic Physician, in reply
to an article from Allopathic Physician, in
regard to the treatment of this terrible di-
sease, furnishes the following statistics:
propose to show the relative efficacy of
the two methods of treatment as tested in
Europe, as at the time of the first invasion of
the cholera, Homeopathy had moi been intro.
duced into this country. The following sta
listcs, are from authentic documents which
never have and never can be disputed.

SCENE AT MARRAsr's SoIREE.-A French
paper gives an account of a aristocratic young
dandy, one of the most exclusive of the pre-
sent fashionable lions in Paris, who, as he
declares, was lately present, merely out OF
curiosity, at one of President Marrast's recep-
tons, when he was invited by the mistress Of
the house 10 take his place at an eearte table
where was already seated gentleman wait
ing for a partner. The lion obeyed with
scornful compliance, and took the chair op-
posite to the stranger, who was already be-
ginning to shuttle and sort the cards with an
agreeable anticipation of amusement, after
long expectation. No sooner, however, was
the dandy seated than he started with amaze
ment on beholding in his partner the visage
which will sometimes strike into the bosom
of the bravest of mankind-the tailor to whom
a long bill is owning. The latter, however,
as willing as the dandy to avoid recognition,
merely bowed in answer TO the stare of sur.
prise of which he was the object, and said
quietly, as he drew his purse from his pocket
"What are our stakes!" "The coat on my
back" replied the impudent dandy without
moving muscle. The tailor was man Of
honor, and rather enjoyed the joke than other
wise. He played for the coat and lost, and
the dandy walked away rather embarrassed a.
the novel position in which he stood as weareI
Of coat which was really paid for.

U We observe in the Miltionian, and
other papers letter from that Mathema-
tical genius and charlatan P. M. Deshong,
offering, for SO sent to him, to communicate
the secret of his mode of calculation. We
have before stated, for the benefit of our
readers, that we did not believe him capa-
BILE of imparting this wonderful faculty,
which he himself undoubtedly possesses, to
another person. In number of instances,
to our knowledge, he has failed to do SO.
This is most wonderful age for humbugs
of all kinds. From all directions we see
advertisements and notices by which per-
sons, who are too idle to work, are offering
to humbug the credulous and superstitious,
in order to raise the wind.

From the Phila. Lcdger.]
THE EMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA.

THE EMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA.
The New York Herald publishes list of
the vessels which have left the different CT.
ties in the United States for California, which
includes ninety-nine vessels and 5,7ls passen-
gers. One hundred and fifty vessels more
are advertised to go, which, it is estimated,
will take eight thousand more persons. Ac.
cording 10 the last accounts from California,
the gold diggers had increased to six thousand
persons, which, with those from The United
States alone would swell the number to near
ly twenty thousand. A correspondent of the
New York Courier writes from Platte City,
Mo-, that from the best sources of informa-
tion he can gather, that next summer there
will be an emigration from that State alone
of 10000 persons, which will 60 near to de-
populate the State.
As all the islands and ports on the Pacific
are adding to the numbers it is plain that
California will not lack for hands to gather
the precious metal, no matter how abundant
it may be. Twenty thousand persons, each
gathering only FIVE dollars worth of gold dali
ly, viii yield 100000, or thirty millions in a
single year, allowing three hundred working
days in the year. IT is easy to estimated what
10000 persons will produce, some Of them
gathering their ten ounces or one hundred and
sixty dollars worth day, and working only
$50 days in the year, deducting the rainy
season, and time when the ground is covered
with snow. The figures will probably set
some individuals to thinking.
The same correspondent of the Courier 10
which we allude, lets down this enthusiastic
coloring little by giving the following &C.
count:
IA man, now in Weston, in this county,
who came IN from California in sixty days,
andarrived in the middle Of December, gives
anaccount Of operations in the gold region
which bear less semblance Of exaggeration
than the newspaper accounts generally. He
collected $1,000 worth of gold, and while he
admits that in several cases individuals were
very fortunate, in great many others the
miners merely got an equivalent for theiI
daily labor, and, as in all other gold dggings
in a number of cases they work for days ir
succession without finding as much as will de-
tray their exposes"

ARRIVAL or THE caEsExr. c1rr.

ARRIVAL or THE cAEsENr CITY.
Nine Days Later from Ckagrss--SiekAsss an,
Dsatk amons tie California Emigants.
The steamship Crescent City, Capt. s,od
dasd, arrived az New York on Saturday after
noon from Chagres, with advices to the 9th
Kingston, Jamaica, with intelligence 10 the
i6th and Havana, with accounts to the 22d
inst, but nothing al all from California. II
appears that the emigrants to California suffer
very much on the route from Chagres TO Pa.
mama, and at both Of those places, before they
get to the gold region A correspondent Of
the New York Herald, writing from Panama
on the 7th inst, says
No urgency short oflife and death should
bring a man on this route for female il is
utterly out Of the question. II has taken most
Of our passengers eight days to get from Cha.
gres to this city, and many of those by the
John Benson and the Falcon are still on the
road. The canoes from Chagres 10 Cruces
cost s25 for each person and Sl2 for mule
bringing single trunk from the latter place,
have been paid by many. In fact, there are
not half mules enough in the whole istmus TO
supply the demand.
But the saddest part of our story remains
to be told At Cruces, several cases OF viru-
lent cholera morbus, some think it cholera,
appeared among us.
MIR. Luckett, from New Orleans, was the
first victim then Capt. Elliott, of the quar-
termaster's department, and afterwards Mr.
Birch, of New Orleans, and MIR. George W..
TAYLOR, of Providence. The disease was OF
great violence and terminate in less than
twenty hours. II is believed that all these
gentlemen had been imprudent. Poor Eli
oft, who was beloved and admired, had cer-
tainly been SO. He had pitched his tent in
a low and wet place he had eaten fruit,
had taken violent exercise and then removed
his flannel. He lies in consecrated ground at
Cruces.
At Panama we think ourselves safe, since
the climate, the provisions and accommoda-
ions are all very well.
The California has not arrived, and we are
waiting for her with great impatience.
One word to our friends in the United State
who are feverish to go 10 California.
LIST. Stay at home.
I'd If you go there, take any route but
this.
3D. If you insist on crossing the lsthmus,
bring but one trunk, weighing not more than
1875 lbs; you should also bring tea and sugar,
hard bread, and ham enough to last you from
Chagres to Panama brandy, to be used in
moderation, do.
4th. Ten cent pieces, as many as you can
get transportation for-eight Of them make a
dollar. ADIEU.
