A MISERABLE BLUNDER.

twill be recoected that some month or two since,
Lady franklin, of England, addressed letter to the
American government requesting the cooperation
and assistance of Navy in discovering, if possf-
ble the whereabouts of her husband, Sir John Frank
lin, the celebrated navigator and that Gen. Taylor
caused reply to be made to her, promising to dis
patch some vessels to the relief Sir John and his
missing ships and crews. This all very well.
The reply has been received in England. Mention
has been made of it in Parliament, and high praise
bestowed -on the American government for this evil
dence of its generosity and good will; but 1t now
opt that Gen. Taylor cannot do what he prom
ised because he has vessels to spare and no mo-
ney to defray expenses Of course, therefore, the
whole matter will have to be postponed until the
meeting of Congress; and in the meantime Sir John
franklin, who has already been out upon the waste
of unknown waters for two or three years, may ut
terly perish, far this government is concerned.
What miserable blunder is this! What consum-
mate ignorance does it exhibit! The New Orleans
Delta, neutral paper, says: 1t cannot be dsguis-
ed that it was blunder the part of the govern
ment . say to,Lady Franklin that they would dis
patch one or vessels in search of her husband,
and then to come out and say they could not do it..
Members of Parliament and the English newspapers
will now have to take back their commentators, and
be forced to the conclusion that Gen. Taylor is like
the foolish man in SAsipture who began his house
without counting the cost, and could not finish 1t.

SECRET wHIG CIRCULARS.

We cautioned our friends last week against secre
Ubir Circulars intended to deceive the people and
onerate on the elections and scarcely had paper
bsen issued and mailed, when we received from some
friend in Chatham copy of one of these Infamous
documents. 1t is pamphlet of some seven or eight
napes, doubtless prepared in Washington CITY, by
Truman Smith, bat Is signed to ft; and It's
object is to prove Coalition" between the Demo-
crats and Abolitionsts against Gen. Taylor, and to
hold Southern Democrats responsible forthls alleged
movement. This man Truman Smith has been en-
oaoed for weeks in Washington City, fanking Pros
nectnses for the Republic, issuing letters to the
Whqs in this and other States with the hope of in
Auencing the elections, and misrepresentng and
umniatng, in covert and sneaking manner, the
rrinciples and motives of the Democratic party. He

and the bosom friend Of Gen. Taylor. The Editor of
the Register is well aware, and has been for some

charge that he had done Mr. Burke injustice on the
Slavery question, he copies quite freely from this

and alarming the timid! Dare the Editor deny this
statement! But his affection for Truman Smith,
productions does not stop here. In his paper of the
18th instant, in appeal to the Wings in view of
the approaching election, he repeats substantially the
Arguments advanced by Truman in one of his secret
leters-alludes to Truman, without mentioning his
name, as '' one of the most true and loyal Wings
in the land and tells the Wings, in Truman's own
language: that if they do not stand by Taylor now,
ey will be guilty of all the baseness of desertion
from the battlefield of Buena Vista''!
What an outrage is this on the rights of the peo-
pie, on the freedom of elections, and common de-
cency! A Senator of the United States degrades
himself into the work of drilling the people into the
support of an Administration which he contributed

APPALLING SCENES IN ST. LOUIS.

A Correspondent of the Boston Transcript writing
from st. Louis in relation to the Cholera, says:
'' Calamities are all around US. Death is every
where. Cholera is dealing its blows to the right and
to the left, and thousands of people have been
hurried to their graves. A. well man now, may be
ers and the horses of the city worn with
the~dreadfnl work of burial. Carts and furniture
wagons have to supply the place of hearses which,
though numerous, are insufficient to carry out the
collins, though piled one upon another.
Many dead bodies lie, without friend to execute
the rites of interment, until public officer Sis
ter of Charity comes to put them in the ground.
Some persons, to save expenses, which they not
able to bear, bury their friends in hewoods or
the sandbars of the river Many is the house, late
ly full of inhabitants, that has scarcely one left
tell the story of the departed. Husband and wife
will take their tea together at evening" and before the
next morning one or both are ready for the grave.
Some of the sections, overtasked, bury the dead at
half the usual depth. The City Government have
abdicaed their powers before an indignant populace
and the duties of the Board of Health devolved
upon Committee of citizens. The public school
houses are turned into hospitals and the chief busi
ness of the living to take of the sick and dying
and to bury the dead. Many members of the City
Government and probably not less than 200 of the
citizens, have fled. The stiffness of the sabbath
reigns, while death is doing his work. The news
papers do not, it is said, report half the cases, be-
cause, all the forms of law paraysed and officers
do not discharge their duties dullness, nervous

than 400 die per week, and about 200 per day ~
On the 10Th instant the Cholera had somewhat
abated in St. Louis, the deaths being only about f
ty per day. In Cincinnati the epidemic has also
been very fatal, sweeping off from seventy-fve to
one hundred per day.
