.SteubenriUe ConrenfioH.-We have
waited sometime for the official proceed
ings of the late Steubenville Convention,
but they have not come 10 hand. We
must avail ourselves Of part'a al reports in
different papers.
The Convention was large. highly in
,elligent. and represented al! the various
routes interested, from Pittsburg, Central
and South Western Ohio. and Indiana
Joseph Riigway of Columbus presided.
The committee appointed TO prepare
resolutions reported strongly affirming
the superior importance OF the Steuben-
Vile and Columbus route as the most eli
gible extension of the great Pennsvlva-
MA Railroad. That the geoGrap hic al
position. lis population, products and bus
mess, the natural course of commerce
and trade. together with the reports 0.
competent engineers. demonstrate that
the railroad route via Pi,tsburg. Steuben-
vile, Columbus. and thence to St. Louis,
is the most direct and tarorable route
for a connection between those cities
That portions of said great route extend
ing from Philadelphia 10 Pitisburg, and
from Columbus to St. Louis. being either
in process Of construction or means pro-
vided therefor. there remains to be provi-
ded for that portion between Pittsburg
and Columbus. That those Interested be
urged to take efficient steps 10 have accu-
rate surveys and subscriptions of stock
for the construction Of said road.
1t will thus be seen that while the con-
venton did not in their resolutions name
any points West Of Columbus. vet the
tenor of those resolutions seem 10 indi-
cate a strong preference for the route
through Dayton, Richmond, indianapolis
and Terre Haute to ST. Louis. From the
spirit manifested at that Convention. we
cannot doubt but that the road from Pitts
burg to Columbus will be commenced du-
ring the present season, or next spring al
furthcst. Will the people west of the
latter point permit il TO rest there, even
for day? VIII not Springfield extend
it so as to connect with the Dayton road
which is now being constructed. and
when this is done will our people PERM,

following reply to "JUNIUs" of last week, you
will ob!ige the undersigned.
"ITINERANT LECTURERS AND OTHER HUM

Of ''six months study of Phre noIogy," &c. &c.
II. Wisner, must certainly have been a gerry apt
scholar, to have acquired such knowledge as he
evidently possesses, in SO short time-and we
sincerely hope that some of the lessons which
he taught the public, ''glancing and super ficlal
though they werc," will not be forgotten.
Juuius however, seemed to discard the idea that
those large audiences, which nightly assembled,
formed any part Of the public, by the allusion
h. made to ''public sentiment" and certain it
is, that Wsner held large audiences, which in-
creased rather than diminished, towards the
close, and we would naturally suppose, the y

Dr. Drake. one Of the oldest and most
distinguished physicians OF the Western
country and perhaps Of the United States.
IS publishing in the Cincinnati Gazette a
series Of articles on the proper treatment
Of the cholera. We subjoin the following
as his second article:
briefly pointed out yesterday. in the
public prints. that no one should leave the
city for the purpose Of escaping the Che
lera;-that II is not disease which has
premontory symptoms. but that il is pre-

which is lis fir,, stage:-that early treat
men, and rest are Indispensable to its cure;
and that warm clothing should no, be
laid aside TIL the epidemic shall have pas
sed away.
The last opinion relates to the proven
ton Of the disease, and on that point |
propose now TO say few words.
Strictly speaking. there is no preventive
Of the Cholera; but all constitutions are
not liable to it. any more than all are
liable to acue and fever, influenza. or any
other form Of disease. But although we
know Of nothing that will prevent the dis
ease. we know Of many things which can
and do bring it on. after the poison has
