CHOLERA.

Amongst the news brought over by the
Canada, from Europe. we regret to see it STA
ted that the hopes which were generally en-
tertained, that the Cholera had reached its
most destructive limits in the British domin.
ions. have been falsifed. The accounts state
that the mortality in the London District is
equallyas alarming as it was seven weeks pre-
vious. The official reports in Glasgow, was
alarming. The total number of cases through
out the country, from lis first appearance, had
reached to $500; 2,94s had died, 1,249 had
recovered, and 2,Sl9 were under treatment
During the week preceding the 18th, the ca.
ses in Glasgow frequently exceeded so dai.
ly but during the present week the number
has alarmingly increased. On Thursday, the
official cases were $50 in Glasgow. and a4e
for all Scotland. On Wednesday, the Glas
Cow report had risen to 318, 1o9 of which
had proved fatal. and III had recovered
whilst in all Scotland, including Glasgow, th.
number of fresh cases was 347,

GEN. TAYLOR.

On the 23l ult, the personal and political
friends of General Taylor, Citizens of Baton
Rouge and the adjacent country,) met toge-
Their to pay the General their respects and bid
him adieu, preliminary to his departure for
Washington. The General was addressed by
J. B. Thorp, Esq, on behalf the citizens as
sembled, in a short. but feeling speech, to
which General Taylor responded with much
warmth. He is represented by the correspon-
dent of the New Orleans Picayune, to have
said, in regard to the discharge of his duties
as President OF the Union, 81 shall endeavor
to fulfil them without regard to fear, favor, or
affection for any one" We, put this quota
ton up on record. 1t may become necessary
to refer to it hereafter. We only wish Gen.
Taylor may have the nerve 10 carry out his
intentions, as expressed above.

THE GOLD MANIA IN EUROPE.

The arrival of the last Steamer from Liver
pool, has acquainted US with the effect of the
discovery of the gold mines Of California. up
on the public mind in Europe. The news Of
the opening of the new FL Dorado, seems to
have been received there with the same incre-
dulity, as at first, with us. According to
Wilmer and Smiths Times, however, all
doubts seem to have been at last dispelled,
and persons of large capital are being associ-
ated for the purpose of proceeding 10 the Sac
ramento,and becoming engaged in mining oper-
atoms. Already it is stated that ships are an
nounced at London, Liverpool, and Glasgow,
for the purpose of proceeding to the western
coast of America via Cape Horn, and that
large numbers of persons have engaged pas
sage for themselves and families. Every
particle of information concerning California
was seized upon with avidity, and the mara
7 time ports were swarming with Adventures
OF all nations, eager to embark in the various
enterprises for California, already on foot. 1t
is not doubted that the number of emigrants
TO America this year will exceed that of any
previous one.
1t will be rather strange, if it should so
happen that the subjects of her Britanc Ma
jesty should finally take possession of the
whole country, and attempt the exclusion OF
American citizens from participation in the
golden fruits of its territory. And yet, how
ever strange 1t may appear, such thing is
neither improbable nor unlikely TO happen
Under existing arrangements, they enjoy equal
| ly with our own citizens, free and unrestrian-
ed, the right 10 proceed thither, and settle un-
der such rules and government as they may
think proper, in the absence of all others, to
prescribe for themselves. No right of pre-
emption or other privilege distinguishes our
citizens from any other persons who may think
proper to appropriate the vacant territory of
California. Not only does the soil TEEN with
every vegetable and mineral wealth, but it
possesses also natural advantages from ord-
nary character.
We think. therefore, the suggestion cannot
be too often repeated and impressed, that it is
high time something should be done in Con.
gress, to assert our territorial rights, TO extend
the laws of the United States, and to protect
the persons and property of our citizens in
that remote region.

MAIL TO MAR1oN-The Marion Star,
speaking of the efforts being made to estab-

says
1--WE cannot believe that the Department
will refuse 10 remedy so serious an inconve-
nience as that resulting from the tardy means
of communication now in use. At present
our letters and papers are sent, by circuitous
route to Charleston, from which point they
proceed to Wilmington; occupying the mod
crate period of 6, 8, and sometimes Is days,
to the great disParagement of social and mer-
camille intercourse When, in connection
with this, it is considered that the distance is
only 80 miles, the evil would seem too glar-
ing 10 fail of being corrected
We do hope the Department will establish
the route.

been granted TO citizens of Boston, of Phila.

sons not familiar with scientific details in Ma

what Democratic sign, as the whig party,
heretofore, have professed to be opposed to
the usage We shall now see if it is not
recognized by them as virtue on being adop-
ted by Gen. Taylor. Here is the article from
the Delta:
Colonel Hodge-We think we may with
out Improperly state, as settled fact, that
Col. William l.. Hodge, the senior editor of
the Bulletin, will accompany Gen. Taylor, on
his trip to the seat of government. What
will happen after the Generals arrival and in
stalation, is beyond our ken. 1t is not, how
ever, impossible-nor improbabe-that the
Colonel may succeed Father Richie, as organ
of the administration. In case he does, il may
also become necessary that the Delta should
establish branch in Westinghouse it is a
settled fact, that without the check and drag

ing what extravaganza our mercurial contem-
porary will not commit.

NORTH CAROLINA CALIFORNIA COMPANY
Mr.. Joseph B. Hinton proposes in the Rail
eigh papers to form company for proceeding
to California Each member 10 pay 5000 to-
wards the purchase of a ship and provisions
for the voyage from Wilmington via Cape
Horn. Unmarried ladies are particularly in
vited to join. Every provision will be made
tor their accommodation; in case the number
requisite is not made up by March. the com.
pany is to proceed from Raleigh overland in
wagons. The ladies are assured that every
attention is to be paid to them. We have no
objection TO Mr. Hinton's taking all the old
bachelors off, but some of our readers object
to any such disposition being made of the un-
married girls. We hope the time has not yet
come, when they will be compelled to accept
Mr.. Hinton's proposal, and 60 so far for mar
ket. Wepublish the following from his card
A late writer from California says: "The
persons most needed here are, wives, semp-
stresses, house-keepers, milliners. taiors. car.
penters, black smiths, masons, shoema keIs
and tinners-all of whom would receive the
most gratifying remuneration. A mechanic
can hardly be had for twenty-five dollars pei
day, common labourer for one hundred and
fifty per month. or even cook for fifty dol
lars per month";" Large fortunes therefore
certainly await the prudent, who now go there
Vices stand at the head of the list of those
most wanted. Just think of that Why, the
quick sales of the ship loads of English wo.
men for tobacco, in Virginia, in the olden
times, would be fool to the active matrimo-

and tobacco, but for husbands and gold -
