News from the Emigrants.

Mrs. Noah Norton Of Adrian, Mich.
writes from the top of the Rocky Noun
tains, at the Pacific Springs head Of Sweet
Water, July 90. ls49.
There has been a terrible destruction
Of life, animals and carriages on the way.
There are now mole than a thousand
dead horses, oxen and mules that we
have passed between this South Pass and
Fort Laramie; and about as many wag-
ons that have been, some broken up,
some burned, and some left in good or
der by the wav. The destruction of an
imals has been mostly in consequence Of
of drinking at the salaratus or alkati poi
son springs, Over-drismg and want Of
proper care For the last 500 miles the
great part of the water is strong afkali.
and il oar aaimaas drink it to excess when
dry, they die immedatay. But there is
. snne remedy If applied seasonably.-
That's to give them fat meat, grease, or
lard This we have done and it has saw
ed our noble team.
We have had no trouble with the In
dlans--they do not come near ms. They
are afraid Of the Cholera AND ofeMr guns.
We let each other alone, and are mutu-
ally glad when we have passed. Weget
all the fresh meat we want-buffaio, wild
sheep, goats and antelopes. We are this
day, August 3, in Oregon, twenty miles
west Of the Rocky Mountains.

in the Charleston Courier of the 9th inst. -
Our New Orleans correspondent, under date
of the 9Th instant, states that the Board Of
Health had that day declared that the Choera
was no longer an epidemic in that city. This
information is most gratifying, and from
source on which the utmost reliance can be
placed. What renders it still more important,
is the fact that we had before US dispatch in
which it was stated that ITO deaths had oc-
Cured in that city from Cholera on the 4th-

GREAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY,

We see from letter of It. Maury, chief at
the Washington Observatory, that DR. Locke s,
formerly OF the Navy, has discovered a new
method of ascertaining longitude, by means
of magnetic Clock, in connection with the
Telegraph BY this instrument, time can now
be divided in fractions of seconds, and the ex-
act point of time at which the transit of the
stars takes place, at different points, is made
known at Washington the difference of time
ascertains the longitude, and thus. in the tri-
umphant language OF Mr.. Maury, /" this pro-
blem which has vexed astronomers and navi-
gators, and perplexed the world for ages, is
reduced at once by American ingenuity, to a
form and method the most simple and accu.
rate" We expect the next Union will an.
nounce the discovery of perpetual notion

Washington Union of the 9TH instant, con-

the English General Board of Health, to the
effect that Cholera is not contagious; and that
all Quarantine regulations respecting it are
useless. Various instances are cited to shew,
that during 1891, when it last appeared in Eu-
rope, persons in large numbers were attacked
simultaneously, at places far removed from
each other From these, and other illustra-
