Disrepusable Persecution.
The per!inacity with which the Gazette persists
in is persecution Of Fitz Henry Warren is most des
picable. Being confined to our room by illness we
cannot make such reply to the article in yester-
days Gazette entitled 6 Rather EQuivocal' that il
calls for. What there is equivocal in the resolution
ON which it comments will take narrower mind

or those who are rendering him aid and comforts

only IN their imagination, the wish" in their

resolution. It speaks of compliment paid to our

! OzoNE--QUIcK LME.-Haying no doub
that the opinion Of DR.. Bird, of Chicago, j.
true, that. o.one may have an agency in tn,
generation Of cholera, desire TO lay before
the public, through your paper, some ac.
count Of its properties and the manner of it.
production, that the public may guard agains
its evolntions, and the danger Of disease aris
ing from it
Ozone is produced in the atmosphere il
two ways first, by the decomposition o
water by electricity. The quantity pro-
dnced by this means may not be appreciable,
except in very moist weather; and, if II
were, there is no means Of preventing the
action Of electricity on the moisture Of the
atmosphere, yet the ozone itself may be
ncutralized by proper agents. 1t is proba-
bic that the most abundant supply Of ozone
proceeds from the action of phosphorus upon
atmospheric air, particularly when the air is
much impregnated with water. Now as
PHOSPHORUS is known TO be eliminated from
dead bodies by animal putrefaction, it will
be apparent to every one, that as proven
tive, it will be important TO move from the
vicinity Of dwellings, and bury, or otherwise
destroy, all animal matter that is likely to
become putrid. But as this cannot be al
ways entirely accomplished there will
be more or less animal matter accommodating
about cities--it will be necessary to use an
agent that will neutralize the phosphorus
and prevent its effect upon. the atmosphere
This can be accomplished by spreading
quicklimc prolusely over the surface Of the
streets and lots The guicklimc will com
bine with the phosphorus and form a COIN
pound that will not act OH the air
Another important measure would be Ia
drain the surfaces Of all streets and lots as
| dry as possible so as to prevent evaporation,
and consequently lessen the moisture Of the
atmosphere. But when by using the proper
tests, ozone is detected in the air it will be
necessary to use such agents as will neutral
ize it and its effects The cheapest and most
convenient means of doing this would be to
sprinkle watery solution Of chloride Of lime
| freely over the floors, bcd-clothcs and furni-
ture, more particularly in houses where per-
sons laboring under the disease, are, or have
been lying. A good plan would be likewise
to scatter sui phur freely over the grounds
around dwellings,. am inclined to believe
that ozone emanates with great rapidity
from the bodies Of persons who have died o
cholera If this be the case it would be ex.
pedient to bury them as soon as it might be
done conveniently.

DEATH on MISS EDcEwonTH.

Maria Edgeworth, the celebrated Irish
novelist, and the author Of those delightful
Juvenile tales, whichhave made her name a
household word wherever the English Ian
guage is spoken, died on the 2lst Of May al
Edgeworth Town, in the county Of Lang
ford, Ireland. She was in her SD year,
and expired after only few hours illness.
The following notice Of this remarkable wo-
man is from the London Morning Chronicle
The death of one who has done such sol
id service as Miss Edgeworth rendered to
the cause Of education and social morality,
cannot be recorded without passing word
of retrospective praise. Miss Edgeworth
had long since ceased to take an active part
in life, or in that world of literature ofwhich
she was once so bright an ornament But
she has taken her rank, and will keep it so
long as youth have to be instructed in the
elements of social morality As a woman
Of singular intellectual requirements she
takes her place by the side Of some Of the
most distinguished Of her sex who have
adorned the present era Her novels and
miscellaneous works, more especially her de-
scriptions Of Irish life-which are in the
main as true now as they were some TWEEN
ty or thirty years ago,-will always retain
for her a high place in the literature of her
country. But the works in which she espe-
cially shone, and for which she will hereaf-
ter be remembered, were those delightful
stories, written in so beautifully simple a
style, down to the capacity Of children, in
which the childish mind is made first to
comprehend its part in the great drama Of
social life. Who that has read in early life
her "Harry and Lucy" "Early Les
sons" "Frank," Harrington" and "Or-
mond,n has forgotten the fine moral lessons
these conveyed in such simple incidents and
honely language and thoughts I But Miss
! Edgcworth's literary talent was nc. conB.l-
ed to this class Of works A mere list Of
her different writings shows her versatility,
and is enough to show that Miss Edgcworth
was "worker'--that she fairly performed
her share Of the duty allotted to us---the
more honorable in her, because it was for the
most part spontaneous service.
! Miss Edgeworth was the daughter of M.
Richard Lowell Edgeworth, Of Edgeworth
Town. Her life presents no incidents. II
was divided between literary composition
and the performance of local duties. She
was a woman Of a very superior order--be-
loved 10y all who approached her, and respect
ed, for her talents and accomplishments, by
some of the first men Of the age, Although
what is commonly termed "blue," she had
none of the characteristics which have at
tracted to stlearned ladies'" the reproach OIL
too much learning. She was most unalIect-
ed and agreeable in private intercourse,
and, as in her books, never obtrudcd her
knowledge and her opinions

GEORGE LIppARD,--Lippard was one Of
the most importunate and unreasonable Of
the ohice-beggars about Washington. Ow-
ing to some pecuiarities Of character, which
placed him without the pale Of the rule pre-
scrlbed by the Executive as necessary in the
bestowal Of office, Gen. Taylor very pro-
perly refused to appoint him. He therefore
comes out in malignant diatrbe of fierce
abuse against the administration, and what
is most affecting, declares that g he washes
his hands Of him." &c.--a threat which no
doubt has seriously disturbed the rest of the
old Hero
He also, now finds that the "grapes nre
sour" declares that he neither asks nor
would accept office, &c. The thought is i n
deed Overwhelmingly affecting, that the adj
minIstration is to be deprived Of the services
Of such self-important auxiliary. Terrible,
nevertheless, as Mr.. L. thinks his hostility
will be, there are some who think that the
old General will manage to survive IT,

The WAsHINGToN UNIoN.-We have
usually imagined that the prospectus Of a
public Journal was speciesof composition
IN which truth was studiously regarded and
the prophecies Of language sedulopsly OBJ
served. We have seen many papers which,
by their practice belied their professions, but
this is the first time that our attention has
been called to a journal which, even in its
declaration of principles, outragcs the men-
daclty Of the grossest political MuNcHAu-
SEN, The passage we have quoted never
sould have been indited by the senior edi-
tor Of that paper. Mr.. RITcHlE is incapa-
BILE, with all his political rancor, Of such foul
and fragrant Misrepresentation. No, it is
the outpouring Of the seething and bubbling
malignity of an evicted office holder, who,
being dismissed for his brawling Locoioco-
ism and his overt intermedaing with party
politics, gloats over the opportunity Of dis
tilling his lroth and venom over those who
inflicted the chastisement. The delectable
morceau is the production Of EDMUND
BURKE, I've Gods ! what rnisnomer y
and in it he has contrived, in> the excess Of
his malice, to cram together such a superle-
tation of falsehoods, as would shame the re-
putatlon Of CULVER, and inspire envy in
the Father of Lies himself Commend US
to a displaced oiliceholder for an exhibition
Of intense and Ierocious hatred.
We are fearful, however, that Mr.. ex-
Commissioner Burke has overshot the mark
Decent men will turn with disgust from his
reeking ISLANDERS. Honest men will lose their
confidence in a party, whose accredited ex-
ponents traduce with such shameless lndilter-
ence Intelligent men will question greatly
the policy Of piling Pelion upon Ossa in the
way Of falsehoods. He is unlikely indeed
to obtain the need Of appreciation from any
other than those choice spirits who frequent
the purlieus of the Five Points at New York
and uho are faithfully imbolicl in the per-
sons Of the immortal Capt. Rynders and his
glorious Empire Club For their refined
taste and accurate discrimination, the pas
sage referred appears to have been written,
and their unqualified cncomums will doubt
less create the highest extacy in the congo
NAL bosom Of the author He has caught
their sympathies-their noble souls attune
fully with his own Their ignorance is
equalled by his impudence; what he asserts
they believe; he has evidently written for
them, and should be cnraptured at their YER
dict, though the rest Of the world may view
his illusions with unalloyed disgust. " 0.

u THE WAsurNGroN UNIoN.-A prospec-
tus in the Union announces that Edmund
Burke, the late Commissioner Of Patents,
has associated himself with Mr.. Richie in
the editorial conduct of that paper Mr..

in which their association is announced, they

gracc" and "incapaciiy" and that too
against a man whom the greatest nation
upon tile earth has called to its Chief Ma
gistracy, and whom two hemispheres have
united to honor! man whose patriotism
and noble actions, whose wisdom and sim
phcity, and the moral grandeur of whose
character, are monument to his glory,
which, unlike that upon Bunker Hill, lifts
itself far above the c.ouds, and beyond the
reach of the lightning with which reckless
party now vainly attempts to destroy it I! The
effort is impotcnt as it is base It comes,
too, with poor grace, from the SWOLLEN
lceches who have long been sucking in the
blood Of the country, and whose support de-
ponds upon their success in msreprescnta-
ton and deception. Charges Of so grave a
character should never be made when there
is no truth to sustain them--at least Of all
by those who do not hesitate to cxhume the
secrets Of the grave, or to dig up SANDERS
from the gutter and the ditch, that they may
the more successfully carry on their unmanly
work. The object Of this effort is apparent.
1t is to break down the great national and
conservative party, which is slowly but firm
ly gathering around Gen. Taylor. The at
tempt, however, will be as abortive as that
of the simpleton who would seek to storm
