by cholera in that village up to the 24th Of

cellars.

Cholera.

From the reports, there appears to be
marked decrease in the mortality from chol-
era throughout the south and west.
In Cincinnati, on the 23d, the number Of
deaths reported, from cholera, in 40 hours,
was 65. On the Goth the number of inter-
ments from cholera was Is other diseases
81.
In St. Louis, the number of deaths
by cholera for the week, ending the .24th
was 229-a decrease from previous week
of 401. On the 25th the interments from
cholera were 22-other diseases &c. The
cholera is decreasing in all fhe towns on the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The deaths
from cholera in st. Louis on the 9th were
l0-other diseases l6.
But while the dreadfal scourge seems to
be fast abating in the southern and western
| cities and towns, where it has ragged so
fearfully for some time past, there is little
or no decrease in the eastern cities where it
has more recently made its appearance. The
telegraphic despatche of Friday from New
York, says: "The report of the Board of
Health, to-day, is largest of the season, be-
ing 2O5 cases and &c deaths. In private
practice there were 70 cases and SO deaths Z"
28th, $50 cases of cholera and 81 deaths.
In Buffalo on the 26th, the number of cas-
es reported for "a hours was 69 and 80
deaths-27th, ga cases and 81 deaths 2Sth,
So cases and IA deaths.
In Philadelphia, the disease seems to be
decreasing; the report Of the 24th, for the
preceding "a hours, was "a cases and 8
Detroit, which has been entirely free
/ from the disease until within short time,
has some cases. On the 18th there were
4 fatal cases reported-en the 26th, 2; on
the 9th, none.
There are few cases in Cleveland, but
the Plain Dealer of the 26th says: sOur
sexton's report shows that less than one per
day have died of cholera since its first ap-
pearance."

MYSTERY, REASON AND FArTH.-Tho
following illustration occurs in little
essay, written by Rev. Mr.. Peabody.
Of Boston.
Might comes down over a ship at
sea, and passenger fingers hour after
hour alone on the deck. The wa ers
plunge and weller, and glide away be-
meath the keel. Above, the sails tower
up in the darkness. almost TO the sky,
and their shadow falls as it were bur-
den on the deck below. In the clouded
night no star is TO be seen, and as the
ship changes her course the passenger
knows not which is cas-, or west, or
north or south. what island, what
snnken rocks may be in her course
or what that course is, or where thew
are, he knows not All around, to him.
is mystery. He bows down ia ths
submission Of utter ignorance.
But men Of science have read the
laws Of the sky. And the next day
this passenger beholds the captain look
ing at clock and taking no,o Of ths
sun, and with the aid of couple of
books, composed of rules and mathe.
nallcaI tables, making calculations.
And when he has completed them, he
is able TO point almost within a hands
breadth TO the place at which, after un-
numbered windings, he has arrived in
the midst Of the seas. Storms NAV
have beat and currents drifled, but he
knows where they are. and the precise
point. where, hundred leagues over
the water, lies his native shore. Hero
is Reason approaching and making use
of the revelations. if we may so call
them, of science.
Night again sits down over the vast a
Of waves, and the passenger beholds
single seaman stand at the wheel, and
watch, hour after hour; as it vibra;e
beneath a lamp, little needle, which
points ever, as if it were living finger
to the steady pole. This man knows
nothing of the rules of navigation,
nothing of the course of the sky. But
reason and experience have given him
faith in the commanding officer of the
shlp-faith in the laws that control her
course--failh in the uneering integrity
Of the little guide before him, And so
without single doubt, he steers h i.
ship on, according to a prescri bed di.
rectlon, through night and the waves.
And that falln is not disappointed.
With the morning sun, he beholds far
awey, the submits of the gray and
misty highlands, rising like a cloud on
the horizon; and as he nears them, tho
hills appear; and the lighthouse at the
entrance OF the harbor, and, sights of
| joy the spires Of the churches and the
shining roofs, among which he strives
TO detect his own.

There is reason to believe that an

ton TO invade the Island of Cuba, or
some Of the provinces Of Mexico. The
best information which The Executive
has been able to obtain, points to the
Island of Cuba as the object of this ex.

cessary and proper to issue this procla.
nation TO warn all citizens of the Uni,

with an enterprise SO grossly in viola
ton ofhur laws and of our treaty oh.
legations, that they will thereby subiec,
themselves TO the heavy penalties de.
nounced against them by our acts of
Congress, and will forfeit their claim TO
the protection of their country. No
such persons must expect the interfer-
ence of the Government in any form
in their behalf, no matter to what ex.

quence of their conduct, in an enter.
prise 10 evade the territories ola friend.

they regard our national repu,arion.-
as they value the blessings of peace,

The Republic says, the above procla-
nation was received yesterday at The
Department Of State, on communica.
tions from The President al Harrisburgh.
Information has been for some time in
possession of the Government to the
effect that bodies Of men were in course
of being levied and drilled, in New
Orleans, New York and other cities of
the Union: that money TO considerable
amounts had been contribuled-that
arms had been provided and arrange
ments made on large scale with a
view 10 some military expedition. Their
movements have been conducted with
great secrecy, and the object of the en-.
terPrise has been concealed even from
the individuals who have embarked in
it. Sufficient evidence has, however;
been obtained to satisfy the President,
tina. the design of the expedition is al
invasion of Cuba, and that The interven.
ton Of the Executive was necessary &c
preserve our neutral obligation. and &c
keep unsullied the honor Of the Ameri
can people.
