Cholera !, chnIern,.

This pesiilence seems TO be one Of those scourges
designed by Providence TO correct some OF the I'M
natural habits Of men in social condition II Is
the scorrge of large cities where society Is most vi
cIously artificial. With the term "artifcial" people
are accustomed 10 associate ideas Of refinement,
temperance and cleanliness; but The two last named
qualities are not artificial, they are purely natural
being prnctised by kinds Of irrational nnimns In
their wild state and by the greater number Of savage
tribes Of men before they learn the views Of cvza
lion. The hog itself Is cleanly anmaln state Of
nature compared with the oathsome brute to which II
Is transformed, when tnken under the care Of men.
Filthiness and excess then, according 10 the view
here taken, are arlifcal-mcre incidents Of refine
ment they are offences against The laws Of nature,
which are laws of order established BY Divine wis
dom and mercy for the government Of the world,
and these offences must have their appropriate pun
ishnent- The punishment itself Is benign; il Is in
tended 10 prevent greater amount Of evil, and TO
enforce moral lesson which cannot be dsregarded
without sacrificing the happiness of the species. IL
is not only when The pesience Is sweeping off tho
population by hundreds, that viciously artificial
modes OF life are perncious; the cholera only CLEANS
the field when other Diseases have gathered in the
harvest Of DEATH The fatal ngony is operative at all
times; but while II operates slowly, il meets with
but little attention. The Asiatic plague gives the
alarm and oxctes to salutary cxerfion In New
York, for example, the mortality by various diseases
originating in mpurity and vicious indulgcnces may
be lessened for years TO by the efforts which
have recently been made to arrest the progress Of the
cholera. - Phil Pennsyiraniar. a4

The high and the low are alike sexcited at
The preipectSf gathering speedy fortunes, il

estimated that three thousand persons have
gone from Chill, taking with them whatever
Of merchandise they could procure with their
surplus CASH. Many 90 without having a
dollar after paying their passage money.
Several mercantile houses at Valparaiso
have sent cnfgoes 10 California. The house
of VIM, l.. Hobson 4 Co. was the first 10
embark in the business to any extent. After
having received reliable information in re-
gard to the quantities Of gold collected, and The
scarcity Of goods in the market, they freight
ed two vessels with assorted cargoes and sent
them 10 San Francisco--the cost Of which,
delivered at that place was less than $780,
900 From this venture they received re-
turns to the amount Of $4,000, and had
at last accounts, about one-third Of the goods
in store at San francisco This unlocked
for success caused the house Immediately to
purchase and freight three other vessels for
the land Of gold-wherc they have estab-
lished a branch Of their house--having pur-
chased lot in San Francisco for $40 300,
which sold is months before, at public auc-
ton for $3.50.
The American ship Edward, Captain
Shreeve, Of Boston, arrived at Valparaiso
while we were there, ireighted principally
with lumber. Her total cost, cargo and
ship, was $4,000. She was bought by The
above house, the day after her arrival, for
$35, 900, and two days after, sailed for CAL
ifornia, under charge Of her mate.
The ship Huntress, formerly in tie East
India trade, but now the property Of Mr.
Buckle, "a New Yorker,) who purchased
her at San Francisco for $35, 900, sailed
the day we left, having a cargo on board in
voiced at 5000, which was paid Tor by
him in "dust" gathered during the last year.
Vessels are sailing daily, with every ina
ginabe thing that is thought will suit the
fancy Of the miners.
The ship Sea Queen, troop ship sailed on
the 18th March, far San Francisco. Also

that the six candidates for the highest State Offices
