~Cartwright's prescription for Cholera. has been
very extensively used by physicians in different To-
calities in this State, for the reason that he talks
rather sensibly about the pathology of the disease
compared with SEINE others. For the satisfaction oil
the State Journal, which has a good deal of faith in
the skill of DR.. Jordan, formerly of this city, but now
of Cincinnati, we copy the following recent dictuu
of his:

GTGARIBALDr, the Italian patriot, who has become
so famous as one of the leaders of the republican
movement at Rome, once lived at Cincinnati The
Commercial says he kept a house on Sixth street, be-
tween Plum and Western Row. That venerable edi-
tor, the late Charles Hammond, used to stop at his
house, and often in his editorials referred to Carl
buldi as the prince of good living and good company.
While at Cincinnati, by industry and good manage
ment he amassed a snug little fortune of $25, 900 in
cash, which he took with him to Rome, rsmarking to
a friend a: the time, that that sum would make hin
as wealthy in Rome as ten times the amount would
Le-e. While in this country he became thoroughly
republican in feeling. When about to set out fol
Rome from Cincinnati, he is said to have remarked
to a friend, Before long there will be a revolution
in Europe, and | wish TO have a hand ia it."

FIRE AT AURoRA.-We regret to have TO state that
the extensive Disiillery and FIGURING Mill OF the
Messrs. Gaff, at Aurora, was entirely destroyed by
fire on Monday afternoon last. The accident occurred
by one of the hands in the Distillery approaching the
sill with a light in his hand, which ignIied the gas,
exploding the still and setting the whole establish
ment on FIRE. The person who bore the light was Sc
verely injured. The entire establishment with a large
amount Of corn was destroyed. Loss estimated at
$50, 900, of which $4,000 was covered by insu-
rance.
This distilerF had been undergoing repairs and
addition, and would in the course of a few days. have
been the most extensive one in the United States. We
did not learn whether the new works were destroyed
OF not.
We understand that they will rebuild it immediate

THE UNION AND THE ADNIINISTRA-
TION

The attacks of the Union upon the Administra
ton, and General Taylor personally, are exceed
ingly coarse, INSCRIPTIONS and vulgar. Under
The lead OF the eX Commissioner of Patents the ex-
Organ has become scurrilous and reckless. The
infusion of Northern vigor into the concern has
been at the expense of Southern rcntlcmanlv Oh
servances towards political opponents The Ju-
NOR edits the Metropolitan organ Of great ma
honal party Just as he was wont to do his village
paper in New Hampshire. We certg!nlv do not
regret the line of attack it has adopted. The
low personal abuse of General Taylor will react
IN his favor. The people aye even many Dem
ocratS, will resent imputationS upon the purity
and integrity of the old Hero. What an insult
10 the American people is conveyed in the asser-
ton that 'Gen. Taylor has bcen.paLned upon the
country We could fill column with extracts
of smilar character.
Lately this fartious print came out with an at
tack upon Mr.. Clayton, for his instructions to Mr.
Bancroft upon the subject of our Navigation
Laws. The National IntelIigencer SAYS that in
answer to query, Mr.. CLAYTON declares that he
hds.not ocrltten line TO W. Bancroft on the sub
ject.
Again, in regard to the question of neutral OBJ
legations, involved in the affair of the steam
ship United States, the Union has INDUCED in
many columns Of abuse and Misrepresentation,
But has taken special care not to publish the cor
respondence laid before the people officially by
the Administration. 1t would perhaps, be eX-
pec.'ng now too much ofthe Union to insert the
correspondence. Ut could not lay it before its rea-
ders without demonstrating the misrepresenta-
tons and garbng of which it has been guilty.
A perusal Of the whole correspondence would
counteract all the slang it has published and con-
vince the respectable and intelligent portion Of
its readers that the course ofthe Administration
was in exact accordance with the laws, honor and
dignity Of the country.
The Union, on the appearance ofthe. Presi-
dents recommendation for the observance of a dav
of national hsjng prayer and humiliation, spoke
approvingly ofit-but, in the paper Of the 10Th,
we find long communication from its cores
pendent 'Heroc Age" holding up the recon-
mendation, and the motives of the President, to
the rdicule of the people.
