Posit,vs Demand for the Prisoners,
&c. A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Philadelphia North American,
dated on Friday, says:
@Authentic advices, of the latest dates
from Cuba, are not of a satisfactory char
acter. Gen. Campbell had not received an
official copy Of Mr.. Clay toms instructions
of the lst of June, but was in possession oil
copy sent by telegraph to Mobile, which
was imperfect. Upon this unofficial copy
and others in the newspapers, be had made
request for the release OF the Contoy pris
oners, which has not been acceded to.
@Unless an arrival should, within few
days, bring news of a change of purpose
on the part Of the Captain General, after
the receipt and presentation by General
Campbell of his official dispatches, the
President will make positive demand 70,
their liberation. The Vixen is now being
fitted out for the purpose, and Commodo.t
Warrington will be sent out to assume th,
command of the squadron.
"The President will not permit New
Mexico to be overrun or taken possession o
by Texas until Congress has decided tha
the territory does not belong to the United
States.
measures will be instituted, and doubt
less indictments found. against the Cubar
expeditionists in New York, as aginst thos'

State COnventien-The Nomination.

The Democra tic State Convention met
in Columbus on the 4tb inst, TO nominate
q candidate for Member Of the Board of
Public Works. We understand that the
Convention was not very large, though the
vote on the nomination shows that it was
respectable in size, much more so than we
had anticipated at this hot and busy season
of the year.
On the 5,h ballot Col. ALEXANDER
P. MILLER, of Butler county, received
the nomination. The contest was between
him and Judge MYERS, Of Lucas, on the
last BALLOT, all the other candidates hav.
ing Withdrawn. The vote on the last bal.
lot stood, for Miller l2O, for Myers ll9.
The Convention reiterated and adopted
the resolutions adopted by the last 9th of
January State Convention.

.U The cholera appears to be again
spreading over the country and to be on
the increase. Although there may be no
danger of the epidemic visiting this place,
still it may be well to take the necessary
steps to guard against it by thorough rem
ovation Of the town. Every householder
should see that his cellar and drains and
every place about his premises which may
generate infection, is thoroughly cleansed
and purified. The almost entire absence
Of disease Of every kind from our town last
season is undoubtedly attributable TO the pre-
caution that was taken in this respect, and
like care will again doubtless insure like
happy result. And it may be we'll for all
to be cautious about eating fruit which is
not thoroughly ripe.

An Indian Speech.

The Minnesota Register contains the fol-
lowing report of speech made by Nah
Hakekah, alias Jim Two Bits, Winebago
Chief, to his people, on the 10th Of May
last:
@We have come to poor country.
There is no game here but bogs, frogs and
mosquitoes. We can no longer live by
hunting. l can hear the frogs and musqui-
toes around me now. We must go to
work or we shall starve. We must live as
the white men do. The women must no
longer do all the work. The men must
come out and help their wives and sisters
plant the corn. Another thing I wish you
to hear. Our children must all be sent to
school. If the older boys and girls are
wanted just now to help plant, the little ones
must be sent. 1t is great thing to know
how to read and how to write well. 1t is
what gives the white men such an advan-
tage over US. Take all the little children
that are old enough to walk, and push them
into the school house, where they can learn
to be skilful and industrious; and more, be-
sides that, they will bring home bread and
pork. The pork will afford you something
to grease your hands with, when they have
become sore by hard work."

O. The Free Soilers of the 18th Con.
gressional district,in this State, have held
their nominating Convention at Wilkesville,
Vinton CO., and nominated Judge NATHAN

Cholera in Cincinnati.

We are we'll satisfied that that alarming
disease, the Asiatic cholera, prevails in Gin
cinnati and upon the river to considerable
extent, though the papers give no reports Of
the extent or fatality of the disease. The
last number Of the Star in the West says:
"There have been quite number of Chole-
ra cases in Cincinnati the last ten days and
several sudden deaths, two or three among
our acquaintances. At this time (June
29th) we cannot hear of any new cases. In
the absence of reports from the Board of
Health it is impossible to say with any
degree of precision how much Of the disease
there is among US. OF one thing We are
certain, there appears to be but little alarm
am ong the citizens, and we are in hopes
that we are not to be scourged as we were
last season; and indeed we see no conclu.
sive evidence that we are to be"
