The following letter is nearly as late as any

THE LAST CASE OF CIIoLERA.-Onc of our ci-
tizens who is very attentive to the wants of the
sick of our village, was called suddenly the 9TH
er morning 20 the bedside of friend, who had
just been taken down. He found his friend ex-
eeedingly debiitated, who assured him he was
in the last stages of the cholera, and could not
be expected to survive a great while. 1t looked
Ike desperate case, but our benevolent citizen
thought he would inquire little into the symp-
toms so he asked, have you had any cramps?'
No ANY vomiting?' NO ANY purging? mo.
well, what have you been taking?' why, lau-
danum, camphor, capsicdm, &C. well, just
keep quiet says our good citizen, until you re-
cover from the effects ofthe remedies, and you'll
get along which proved to be the case, the sick
man being now about his business.

LATER FROM THE EMIGPANT3.


gentleman, who started from Sheboygan for
California, arrived in this city rday, on his
return home. He went over 200 miles into the
Indian territory and having become salts I'd that
not one half the cmigrants would ever reach
California, he abandoned his outfit, and returned
in company with large number of others, who
had likewise backed out. He looked as if he
lad gone through and long hard campaign, and
Inc expressed his determination never TO become
dissatisfied with the cool breezes coming eff the
pure waters of Lake Michigan. He represents
the condition of the cmigrants as exceedingly
unlavorable. Hundreds of wagons had broken
down, and all the indifferent oxen and mues-no
proportion Of the wholc-llad tired out, and left
their owners no chance Of getting along, except
Mt n rate which would take them to the noun
tlins by the time cold Weather sets in Many of
them are abandoning their provisions and Dag
gage, and hurrying on, pell nell, with the eX-
pectatlOn OF supplying their wants with game
No ono appears to care for any but himself, and
when wagon gives out, the owner is left to
take care of his property and himself, the best
way he can Added to i'll these drawbacks, there
is much sickness among them, the cholera hav-
ing gone with them, and taken off hundreds after
getting into the Indian territory lie confirms
the truth of the rcport that about half of the
members ofthc Pittsburg company had been ar
rested by Dragons, for wantonly shooting some
Indians. The entire number of cmigrants was
estimated at 10000, men, women and children,
with 900 horses mules and oxen. 1t was
the general opinion Of the trappcrs and traders
who had travelled over the route, and knew its
difficulties that not one half of the emigrants
would ever reach California. II Chicago Daily

In addition to the testimony given in this Essay,
the writer has in his possession the testimony of
several hundred physicians in this and foreign
countries, to the same effect, besides the testi-

climates. Every person ought to feel deep
interest in this subject. Ifthey will read attent-

in bringing this subject before the public, but

Awe trust but few, if any of the travelling
public, are sufficiently verdant to be influenced
by the efforts which are made through the nstru-
mentality of cards." "handbills," "aii idavis, -
&c. to prejudice them either for or against any
route of travel to or from the east. Men arc mo-
we'd by their interests; and grain of reflection
VIII convince any one, that where there arc two
routes in active competition, as between here and
Buffalo, no effort will be spared on either hand
to minister to the comfort, convenience and plea
sure of passengers. If you are not pressed for
time and like travelling by water, you will find
the lake route unsurpassed, we believe, in the
world, in all the comforts of travelling. If your
time is precious, or you dislike the water You can
be whirled across the peninsula of Michigan, and
conveyed to Buffalo. with equal attention to your
comfort. If you have your mind made up as to
your route, do not, we say, allow yourself to be
influenced by these paid efforts, and if your mind
is not made up, You may rest assured your COM
fort will be well attended to on either route.
There are men who, when travelling expect to
command a vast deal Of attention, and evidently
think that steamboat captains and railroad con-
ductors have nothing to do but to answer all the
idle questions which may be propounded. Sach
people will occasionally think they have cause
for complaint, and will vent their dissatisfaction
in print. Reasonable men, though, will find a
vast deal more to applaud than censure, in either
route from here to Buffalo.

IL The Telegraph announces the death of
James K. Polk, late President of the United
States. Mr.. Polk had but inst returned to his
native State after the close of his duties as chief
magistrate, when his earthly career was termi-
mated We read short time since that he had
accumulated some $4,000 in the discharge of
his duties, and that he had purchased an elegant
residence in Nashville, Tennessee, which he was
about to occupy. BY his demise we are taught
how uncertain and evanescent are worldly cal
culations, and are taught also that it should be
our primary object to so conduct ourselves that
when the final change comes, we shall 60 to
treasures far surprising those we are called to
leave. Mr.. Polk Is now beyond the reach of
political and personal anmosity, and whilst we
refer to his faults only as instructive lessons, let
us remember and cherish his virtues.

IL The doubts and fears of the whig press of
the country have resolved themselves into con-
victions. Taylor, say they, has proved himself
an ultra whig indeed, they are SO well satisfied
Of this, that they are already proposing bis name
for second term, forgetting the example Of the
first Washington, that this second, was to pattern
after. But how has nc thus proved himself?
Has any measure of policy on the part of the adj
ministration, been yet developed Is he in favor
of tariff, opposed to the sub-treasury? or any
thing of that character. The wing press know
no more with reference to these matters, than
they did when they had their doubts; but then
they know Taylor is an ultra wing, because he
has falsifed the only pledge he ever gave and
has turned all the loco-:ocos out of Office and put
wings in their places. The conclusion is ire
sistible and volumes perhaps would fail to convey
a better idea of the character of whiggcry, than
is conveyed by the present position of the wing
press.
