In Chicago, the cholera has ragged
with great violence for several weeks
but with that single exception the
whole lake region has continued very
healthy throughout the summer SC
far. We observe now that four ia
tai cases Of cholera have occurred at
Detroit, few at Milwaukee, and five
at Cleveland. We hope this does
not indicate that the terrible disease
is to prevail in the lake region gen.
orally.
CINcINNATI.-The Board OF Health
reports the number Of interments for
the 4S hours ending Thursday noon
at IS. OF these 5 were deaths by
cholera, and 43 were of children un-
der five years Of age.
The Gazette SAYS that the first re-
port Of the Board of Health this year
was made July lst. From their re-
ports il appears, that up TO August
18th, there had been S5l deaths BY
cholera, and llS0 by other diseases.
The number of deaths by cholera
last year, during period Of seven
weeks, ending Aug. 9th, was 2,S43.
The cholera has almost disappear
ed from Louisville. There were four
deaths by cholera reported in Co.
lumbus, last Saturday, and FIVE the
day previous.
This disease has prevailed TO a
considerable extent at Harper's Fer
ry and other points over the noun
tains. On the 18th there were three
deaths at Harper's Ferry and no new
cases.
We hear of no new cases along
the river during the last week. II
has entirely left Pomeroy; we are in
formed there have been about thirty
deaths from cholera in Pomeroy du-
ring the summer.

The Barque Erastus Cornig ar.
rived this morning from Rio Janeiro,
whence she sailed on the 9th ult,
which is twelve days later than pre-
vious advices.
We learn from passengers that a
few days previous TO their departure,
news was received that the British
Admiral on the station with the
British steamer Cormorant, had en-
tered the port Of Paraguay and
burned four Brazilian vessels. The
Captain Of the Brazilian fort in port,
opened a fire upon the steamer and
killed one man. 1t was supposed
the Admiral was acting under orders
from home, for the suppression ol
the slave trade. There was great
excitement at Rio in consequence,
and it was thought serious difficulty
would arise between the Brazilian
and British governments.
Sickness at Rio had nearly subsi-
ded. There is no other news Of i'm
portance.

The Washington correspondent oI
the Baltimore Patriot, speaking ol
the probable removal Of Locofocos
by the new cabinet, says of the oftl-
GERS under the Postmaster General:
His first assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral is a'Locofoco, with a Locoloco
chief clerk. His third assistant Post
master General is a Locofoco, with
a Locofoco chief clerk. His second
assistant Postmaster General has a
Locofoco for his chief clerk; and the
chief clerk Of the Post Office Depart
ment is a Locofoco.
Thus stands the account among
the chief officers of a single depart
ment. From this some opinion may
be formed Of The rest. Yet the Lo
cofoco press howl prescriptions pro-
scriptionI Who believes that, were
things reversed, these officers would
remainl They would not have been
allowed to remain twenty-four hours
after they had the power to dismiss
them. We believe, with the writer.
that these old stagers should give
place to Wings equally worthy and
capable.

From Mexico Mexican dates to
the 9th July have been received at New
York. The Minister of Finance e, Senior
Gutrerrz, had resigned in consequence
Of the great embarrassments of the Gov
eminent. The candidates up for the
Presidency are IS in all; the most
prominent seem to be Gen. Arista, Gen.
AImonte and Senor Gomez Pedraza. DR..
Osorio, the Governor of Puebla, had re-
sumed his official functions after the
suppression ofthe late pronunciamento.
The cholera was decreasing at the
capital, though increasing along the
Gulf. At Mexico the total number of
cases from June 25 to August 6, was
1000; deaths 1884; 986 cases, and
176 deaths per day. From the begin
ming ofthe epidemic till July 2, the TO-
tai number of cases of that city was
$4,000, and of deaths little more than
6 400.
Robberies of the diligence between
Vera Cruz end New Mexico continued
to be frequent, and trains of Merchan-
1ize are also plundered. One mer-
chant is said to have been plundered of
goods to the value of $4,000.

From Washington.

The defeat Of the compromise ha:
not long delayed the settlement, sc
far as the Senate is concerned, Of the
several questions involved in that
bill. The passage of the bills for the
settlement of the Texas boundary,
giving a territorial government to
New Mexico, and for the admission
of California, through the Senate.
cannot fail to cause emotions Of Joy
throughout the country. For near
ly nine months these have been the
only questions that have received the
serious considerations of that body
These bills, as finally passed, may
not please alive know they do not
please the ultras at the South. The
bill fixing the boundary Of Texas
gives that State ten millions of dol
lars. To those who have no faith ir
the claims of Texas to the territory
in dispute, this giving her portion
OF that territory with ten millions Gol
taking it, will hardly appear just
But if this shall prove the last chap
ter Of expense and trouble, which po
litical Abolitionism and Progressive
Democracy entailed on us in 1874
by electing, Polk, Texas, and tn,
Mexican war, with a national debt
and a thousand elements of confusion
and disunion, all good and faithful
friends of the Union will respond {
hearty Amen.
From the spirit already shown il
the House, by the votes and speeche:
Of the rational members, we thinl
these bills will pass that body and re.
ceive the signature of the President,
We see no reason why the House
should not act upon them at once.

The following resolutions were adopted a
the Democratic Convent ton, which assembled
in Columbus, on the 4th of July, 1850. Lei
the PEOPLE OF OHIO READ AND REMExsEI
THEM:
Resolved, That with reference to the cur
rency question, the Democracy Of Ohio plants
itself upon the Constitution of the United
States. The currency fixed by that lnstru-
ment we desire to restore and establish, and
we viii use all legal and honorable means to
accomplish this object; and being sincerely
onnosed 70 the existence of banks for the cir
culation of paper money, we are utterly op-
posed to any feature being incorporated into
the new Constitution, by which the Legislature
OF Ohio would have the power to create any
bank for the circulation Of paper money.
Resolved. That we consider it the duty OF
al cur public officers, after taking the oath to
support the Constitution Of the United States,
to make all payments, in their official eapael-
ty, in constitutional currency, instead OF pa
per money; and that we especially demand
from the Board Of Public Works, thIt they
convert all paper money which may come under
their control into specie, and in that shape
disburse it.
Resolved, That banks Of circulation are hos
tile alike to the equal rights Of the people, and
the principles of sound political economy; that
hard money is the only currency recognized
by the Constitution, the only currency that
defrauds no man, the only currency that is ex-
pedient and just; and we hold it TO be incon-
sistent with the principles of the party for
democrats to participate IN creating or up
holding banking institutions.
Hnrd Money Report Of the Currency COna-
mIttee In the Constitutional Convention,
JuIy 5Ih.
SEC. 1. The General Assembly shall have
no power to create any bank or banking insti-
tuition whatever, or to authorize the making,
emission nr putting in circulation Of any bill

to circulate as money or currency.
SEC. 2. The General Assembly shall pro-

company or corporation, now in existence,
from exercising the privilege of banking, or ere
ating, emitting or putting in circulation any
bank notes, or paper Of any description what
ever, to circulate as money or currency.
''SEc. 3. The business of banking and
dealing in money shall be free TO all, subject
to such restrictions as may be provided by law:
but no special privileges or exemptions shall
ever be granted to those engaged in, or to

ture, the St. Louis Intelligencer says;
"There are $50 members-1s7 Rep

quires 81 to make a majority on joint

Der, seems at this time, not at all en-

ceived the wings have elected 60-Ben-

The news from Kentucky is all right
The Wings will have a majority in

North Carolina has elected Loco
Govenor-majority about 5000. The

From Indiana the returns are favora-
bic to the Locofocos, who have carried
the State by considerable majority

THE REGULAToRs ABRoAD.-Or
Friday night last negro man, who
had been guilty Of horribly maltreat
ing his wife for several days in
succession, Tell into the hands ol
some Of the boys about town, who
took him 10 Roberts grove, gagged
him, tied him TO a tree, and admins
tered a hundred and one lashes with
a raw hide, well laid on. He was
then released, under promise that
he would leave town within twenty
four hours--a promise he faithfully
adhered to.
He was lodged in Jail the evening
previous, for disorderly conduct, but
without any good result, so the
lynchers adopted a more summary
and effectual means Of improving the
darkey's morals, and infusing little
conjngal love into his soul.
On the same evening, a man who
was married some weeks ago at the
Poor House, and who, it is said, has
flogged his vile every day since, was
tied up TO the same tree and had
prescribed for him a dose Of the
same medicine. We hope it has
worked a cure, and that these anna
teur doctors will now relinquish
practice.-Xenid T0rchhight.

IuportanI Nevs from the PIa,u..

We give below a short extract from &
letter received from a friend-Major
Singer who is now on his way to Cal
ifornia. tbs dated Fort Laramie, June
Esd. The statement it contains in ref.
erence TO disease being confined to emf.
grants travelling south of the Platte,
will account for the many conflicting
reports of sickness on the plains, which
have been received during the summer.
'Never did | perform any part of a
Journey" he remarks, ga witness to so
much disease, suffering and death. The
graves of the dead of last years emil
grafton, were to be seen only singly,
and at considerable distances apart
those of this year are already in clus-
ters every few miles along on the road
from Fort Kearney to near this place.
From here on, the mortality decreases.
To what the sickness Cholera morbus)
is to be attributed, after considerable in
quiry into many cases, | am at a loss to
conjecture.
GAS might have been expected in the
general panic tina; prevailed, the disease
was pronounced Asiatic Cholera. It
appears, however, that it was confined
to the South side of the Platte. The
emigrants on the North side only
knew of itas they received reports from
the south.

TA disease similar to the choL
era is killing allthe cows in st. Louis.
Over two hundred have died in the
First Ward in that city, during the
past three weeks. The animal, as a
general rule, has been stricken but a
few hours, when it is seized with a
violent trembling, followed by
weakness in the limbs, and in a very
short time dies.
