The Cause of the Cholera.

! NJ. Audraud has laid before the Medical
Academy OF Paris a statement of chemical
experiments in which, he shows that the
presence absence of the cholera, is pre-
cisely in time with the presence or absence
| 81 electricity in the atmosphere. He has
tested the theory in wet weather and dry,
and finds invariably that when this disease
prevails, the electrical machine en,its little
or no sparks; but when it affords its usual
emissions, the disease abates or is absent
This fact only COMFORTS with the very com
mon idea that thunder storm will clear
away the cholera. M. Audraud remarks
"The question now appears to me entire
ly solved. Nature has infused into the at
mosphere mass of electricity, contributing
to the service and support of life. IT, by
any cause, this mass of electricity is dinn-
ished, and sometimes decreased even to eX-
haustion. what follows? Every one suffers;
those who carry within a sufficient supply OF
electricity, withstand it; those who can live
only by borrowing electricity from the COM
mon mass, perish with the exhaustion of
that mass. This is clear and perfectly
rational explanation, not only of the chol-
era, but perhaps of all other epidemics that
at intervals atflict humanity.
elf the great fact in question were recog-
nized and admitted as a principle, think il
would be easy for medical science, protesting
as it does, countless ways of producing and
restraining electricity, to prepare for sue
cessful resistance, upon It's re-appearance
of plague which regard at present, as al
least arrested in its course, if it has moi
wholly vanished.'

Shameful.

Last Monday night, some person in St.
Paul furnished a band of Winnebago In
dans with liquor. OF course they got
drunk, and were patroling our streets al
night, singing their terrific war songs and
filled with bitter malignity. These things
must not be tolerated. There will be out
RACES committed here, the next we shall
know, such as we have never witnessed.
Has it come to this? Shall lnen he tolerated
in St. Paul who for few dimes are willing
to turn a band of savages into our streets
armed for butchery! What would be tho't
of the wretch who would unmuzZle fifty
grizzly bears at midnight in St. Paul? Have
we no public sentiment? no conscience? no
lawss If such baseness as this can be per-
petrated and countenanced in ST. Paul, the
time is at hand when sober, peace-loving
people will seek an abode where such nfiu-
ences do not prevail,

RECKLESS ASSERTIONS.

The Union of Friday last represents the
Philadelphia North american to be a pa
per owned in part by the Secretary of
State.
This is a misrepresentation which has
been repeatedly circulated through the
same paper and its kindred presses, and
which has been so often disproved by the
only parties who have any knowledge upon
the subject, that no one but common
libeller would repeat it.
But the following precious moroccan cap.

be found in the paper of Saturday, July
7th, under the editorial head. awe have
heard il minated that the instructions of
Mr.. Clayton TO Mr.. Bancroft, respecting
the repeal Of the navigation laws, will,
when published, show a most discreditable
misconception, or rather ignorance of our
own legislation, upon this subject " Now,
il so happens, we have ascertained that no
instructions from Mr. Clayton TO Mr.. Ban
croft, on the subject Of oar legislation re
specfing the navigation laaos, has ever been
giUenl Not a word was ever written by
the present Secretary of State TO the re-
doubtable Mr. Bancroft on that subject.
All the instructions ever gwen TO Mr..
Bancroft respecting the repeal Of the navi-
CATION laws were given by Mr.. Buchanan;
and, if there be either a ''discreditable
misconception, or IGNORANCE shown in
them," il will be solely on the heads Of
the last Administration. The Secretary of
State never authorized Mr.. Bancroft to
give up our coasting trade
The Instructions, when published, will
verify this statement, and again expose
TO shame the misrepresentation of the
Union.
Still another statement remains to be
exposed; and il is remarkable that this
also is directed against the Secretary of
State. Speaking of the letter of Mr..
Clayton to Lady Franklin, the Union
says, ext was responded to in becoming

Uncertainty OF European News.

In ordinary times We know as certainly what
happens at Vienna and Pesih, as at London and
Paris, and the French and German journals give
the detail of the gossip of part Of Europe with
as much minuteness as another. II has, however,
been remarked, that recently an air of uncertainty
has shrouded every item from Central Europe.
difficult to be accounted for by persons accustomed
to the regularity Of the British and American post
office systems. This interruption is one Of the
chief Inconvenience Of the present disturbed state
Of Europe. The last news from Europe has come
to us in such shape that il is difficult 10 form any
opinion Of the probable state Of the contrast be-
tween the two great races Of what was the Austrian
Empire. On the one hand, the Imperiasts claim
great victory, and the other the wishes Of the
world for the success Of the Hungarans seem TO be
not idle. This is the more probable, as despotsm
always blazons its successes but seeks to throw an
air Of mystery around its mischances Il is scarcely
likely, that If there were even CLEAN o. success,
the Austrian Government would not gladly make
it known, instead Of as now suffering the minutise
even Of the victories il claims remain matters Of
suspicion Accustomed 10 the maxim, that no faith
is to be kept with rebels and traitors, she 1ould
scarcely at this time seek TO hide any atrocity or
any Of the proclamaons published by her generals,
or consider herself under any obligation to conceal
the lust and rapine Of the Russian hordes she has
introduced into the homes Of that people, without
whom, in the days Of Maria Theresa, the Queen
and Empress must have become an exile or yassal.
The secret may be, that even those portions Of the
dominions fthe Emperor Of Austria, the population
ofwhich is Teuonic character, have become weary
ofths war; in which it has no interest, and for which
it entertains no sympathy II may be that to pub
lsh, or even acknowledge the true state OF the case,
would place the throne not only in opposition to
the Magyar, but to the Moravian, Czech, Crost,
and German, and place the empire in the dreadful
condition Of depending for existence on the protec-
ton Of that Autocrat, who, more tenacious even
than the British people, has never loosed his hold
on any country he has grasped, and who, stranger
still, has as yet succeeded in all his enterprises.
For this reason il probably is that we know no
thing Of, but only hear from, Hungary.

LocoFoco PRESCRIPTION.

All the world will remember the hue
and cry raised in consequence of the re-
moval Of Simon Drum from post Office
in Westmoreland county, Penn, which
he had held for forty years. The Loco
focos themselves, however, seem to have
found something wanting in the martyr,
inasmuch as in the late county convention
of that party he was candidate for the
sherifalty, Office of register, treasurer, or
any thing; yet excellent and competent a
man as he was, he scarcely received a
vote for any one Of the places for which
he applied.

dismayed at the appearance OF such doc

IN an ecstasy of rage because General TAY-

promising rupture of the Union; it is
this aspect of it which charms them. To

not only to violate the laws and solemn
treaties of the United States to provoke a

in minority they would climb into power
over broken laws, violated treaties, for
feited faith, and the smouldering ruins of
a country laid waste with fire and the
sword. This is the drift of the denuncia-
