THE CHOLERA AT THE SourA.-The southern
papers contain frequent mention of the appear.
ance OF cholera in various directions, and in
some places with extreme severity. We have
already mentioned that in the village of Trinity.
thirty miles from Natchez, the fatality was 60
great that those who survived fled in terror leav-
ing the place dcpopulated. A party of forty
eight persons embarked at Memphis on an old
'sstock boat" and before they reached Natchez,
on the 25th of February, twelve of them had
died or cholera. At West Baton Rouge. La.
lnefe were cases of cholera on the 25th of Feb.
ruary, but not very severe. AT Montgomery.
Ala, on the 2d inst, there was considerable a.
larm owing to the appearance of the cholera a.
mons slaves on plantations near the city. Fiji
teen on twenty cases had occurred. Nothing is
in he New Orleans papers about the existence
OF the Cholera in that city.
lHE AMERICAN BAR.-Dr. Webster's friends
a,pplled to the Hon. Daniel Webster 10 conduct
Inc defence, and offered him two thousand dol
lars 10 commence il, but he absolutely refused,
and would not touch the money. They then
went to Rutus Choate, but with no better success.
Mr.. Choate, even with all his legal ac,lmen &
Ingenuity, thought Wehster's a desperate case +:
he SAID he could see no other defence to be sci

DRINKING HousEs.-During the debate upon
Inc liquor duty in Paris, Il statement was made,
pased upon official information, that there are

stops not here. When the misery, Indebtedness,

human soul shudders al the contemplation, and

CALIFORNIA GoLB.--No New Diseouery,-F'rom
an interesting letter from Washington, in the
New York Journal Of Commerce, in regard tc
the gold of California, we take the following,
which goest TO show that the mines in the quartz
region are not a new discovery:
"These mines have undoubtedly been worked
some period far back. MIR. Wright states tina,
an opening was lately discovered in one of these
quartz hills, & in it was found to be a shaft very
deeply sunk: Upon exploring it, three galleries
were found leading from it, through the rock
all which were regularly and %skilfully propped
on the sides and safely rooted. The rock was
.sou.d TO be very rich in gold, and the amount
taken ..om il must have been immense.
This fact s;2es 20 illustrate some Mexican and
Spanish traditions, nd; indeed, histories of in
diyiduals, who have, in TING past acquired vast
and untold treasures, but from wI.! sources
Spanish jealousy and cupidity would never al

MOST MELANCHOLY.

1t is with the most painful feelings that we
announce the death Of Wv. +. Beale, by drown
ing, on Saturday last. at Point Pleasant. The
circumstances, as W. learn them from Captain
Mitchell. of the Steamer Wave, which arrived
at the Wharf there, about half all hour after the
distressing accident occurred, are these: Mrs.
Lewis of the Point with her daughter and ser
want, had taken a skiff 10 go to her fathers, Gen.
Steenbergen, a few miles below on the Ohio. AS
the skiff was pushed out from shore, it was car.
rled by the current against the Wharf boat and
upset, throwing the ladies and black man into
the water. MIR. Beale being on the boat plunged
in to rescue the ladies-When he with the black
man was instantly carried under the Wharf-boa'
but soon came out and for a moment MIR
Beale was seen struggling, but before aid coult
reach him he sunk 10 rise no more. The sup
position is that the black man had siezed hold o
him, as Mr.. B. was known to be an exper,
swimmer. Mrs. Lewis and daughters were res.
cued by Mr.. Rosbury of the Wharf-boat. The
river was very high and the current strong
Mr.. Beale was the YOUNGEST son of the Hon. ]
M. H.. Beale, the member of Congress from this
district. He was a most estimable young gen
tleman OF 20 or II years-had Just entered upon
the business of life, with brilliant prospects TO,
success-correct and gentlemanly in his de
portmen: he had won the love and respect of a!
who knew him.. To his father now in Wash
ington and his mother, at this time, we learn
on a visit to her friends in Shenandoah, this E
vent will be a most affecting dispensation. We
learn from Capt. Mitchell that owing to In,
high water there is no prospect of recovering III.
bodies; Capt. M. says the gloom that this SAC
event has thrown over the citizens of Poin
Pleasant is understandable.

g- THE LEGISLATURE.-The Enquire, Of
las, week said the Legislature was ,wo ,kins at
''raee-horse speed to get through their business,
and acjouEn. With all their speed they did not ad-

nothing of especia! interest TO our readers except
an act passed "conccsning Waynesborough.'-
Wonder what that little town is after now. 1t has
not been long since an act was passed authorizing
ii TO spread its dimensions, as if it wasn't big e.
siough TO hold all the people in it. II the Waynes-
eurghians are trying to outstrip StaUnton they had
better be cautious. There's a fable somewhere OF
a small animal that tried to blow ITSELF TO the size
OF an OK, and it "busted up" SO it did.

HIGHLAND COUNTY.

Tie Wig candidate for the Legislature in this
county, has had some hard questions put to him by
Il writer in the last Spectator, who signs himself
"Rusticus." That writer intimates that Mr.. JNo
c. WooDsoN is a 'fshy" Wing, or rather that he
would like to fish after a few Democratic votes,
using as a BAIT that he is "opposcd TO several Of
the leading measures Of the Wing policy,' and
Will vote for a Democratic U. S. Senator next Win
ter. rrevided a majority of the people of his cleo
ton district are sascertaine d to be Democrats We
suppose this majority is 10 be Ascertained by count.
ing those who vote for Mr.. Woodson, and if he is
elected he will then swear that his election was a
Wing triumph, and he will vote for a Wing.
We are apprehensive this gun wort shoot-at any
rate we hope the Democrats of Highland will not
furnish the Wings with ammunition. We are &C
quainted with a few Democrats in this county, and
if they are all as 'sgood and true" as those we
know, neither Mr.. WoopsoN nor Capt. EpwARp
THOMPSON SAUNDERS will get their votes-that's
certain. By the way we must not forget 10 refer
the reader to Capt. SAUNDERS Card, on the first
page Of to-day's paper-it's a pretty good speci-
cimen OF q demagoguc. We hope onT friends in
Highland will keep US advised Of how things are
going on.
