The intelligence which we receive Of the raw
ages of the cholera, is truly such as to strike
US with alarm. ltseems TO be rapidly spreading
in the States, and even now has the destroying
pestilence thrown nearly all of our large cities
and towns into CONSERVATION and mourning,
Like the deadly march of fire and sword, it
moves slowly forward in its terrible havoc,
and wraps the cold shroud around thousands of
victims, then steals away but to repeat its SOL
emu mission. We entertain but little fear of it
amongst us. 1t is said that it is chiefly confined
to the great streams and valleys, and seldom
deviates in its course, though the cause Of it
has baffled the deepest study of scientific men
every where and the nature of the fatal plague
is unknown to all save Him who has been
pleased to visit it upon us. Many people
who have fed from the cholera vicinity we I'M
dersand are vending their way TO Vermont,
with the impression that their greatest security
from its attack is home among our green hills,

mended day of fasting and prayer, to be OBJ
served throughout the Union, in consequence
