pumors of the Cholera.


 The report, we are informed, from more than one respectable source, is current in the neighboring counties that tho cholera prevails to an alarming extes, iB Lhtle Rock This is unfounded, utterly, aud If there has been any eHsc of cholera at all, (which K altogether doEbifui.) tt tmust have occurred more than two months ago. There is no epidemic or infection of sny hind known here, and VIC have never been blessed with more healthy season. How statement SO false and injurious in its char aeter could have originated, we cannot imagine unless from the exaggerated reports of the eases upon stcamboats destined for this place. We may safely say that the keenes, alarmlst could fad nolh- ing, scarcely, now upoa which to report prcmoni- tory symptom.
 We regret to say that different state of things exists in New Orleans Gentlemen recently from that city inform that there daily moro deaths than when the cholera ragged there before, and upon every boat which leaves the port cases of cholera. moro or less in number, occur. In the city 1t is still in the increase; and among the manv who have fallen by this dread disease, learn the of the following old and valuable ci.izeus of New Or- leans, viz James Dick. of the firm of Dick & Hi, Robert McNair, Charles Nj. Randall, and Dr. Harri- eon-al eminent men in their various professions, and old residents. Every effort will be made to calm the public mind in relation to the facts. as this is season of the greatest importance to the com mercial and moneys interests of New Orleans; but we feel satisfied in advising our friends about to visit that city, to delay it, for beyond doubt there is great hazard in it.

Women and Matrimony in California.


 X letter dated San Francisco, July B, written by a lady 10 her friend in Massachusetts, says Since my husband went to the goidsegon, houses have become vacant m aH parts of the village, and the entire male population has lsff us. The women have been obliged, in ihe absence af inc the large houses and live together and do their own cooking, &c. l am now living, or as we cal [, messing, with company of fourteen. The expert. enee of the world, men have said. show that women could not live together without quaes and turmois but our sisterhood at this time gives plain con tradiction to this islander upon our sex, When not intereted with by men, and when permitted to Iink our cup of tea "uader our own vine and fig tree, '' we are as quiet and peaeeRbe as lambs.
 The demand for marriageable women seems to be as great for goods. This Is the only country in the world where women are properly appreciated The prnpaition Of males in the territory is five io one of females, and the ahor of females is as much needed in cooking, &c, at the gold region. as the males. There have been more marriages the last few months than in ten years previous in this eoun- try. The sausws, before they will go 10 the gold region, make efforts to get white husbands, which they soon obtain in the present state ot affairs Father Manaate, the Catholic priest has informed me that he ma, ned the last month ten white men to saaaws. The consequence is, that the poor Iadan will be lsit without ahy class of females from which they can choose-as certainly no white woman of whatever condition in society will marry an Indian, when she can readily marry white man of some wealth and prominence. Some of the most ugly and soyenis servants hsTe marry traders who have accumulated fortunes in a few weeks.
