II From Intelligence Contained 10 our exchan'
Yges, we regret to hear that Georgia, by The
action Of the Governor, is likely to be placed
in rather an unenviable situation. The las,
Legislature of lha, State passed resolution
declaring that should Congress pass law
admitting as States California and New Mex
leo i, should BE- sufficient cause for the Gov.
srnor Of the State to call a Convention. -
Well, Congress has not admitted California
and .New Merico as States, (only admitting
California; yet the Governor intends to call
q Convention for the purpose OF resisting The
admission Of California if a msjorty favora-
Bile 10 such action can be secured in the Con.
yeption. The desire Of Gov. Towues and his
advisers, is 10 make Georgia secede. But,
will Georgia do any thing Of the kind We
infer from the disposition Of the people o! that
State to give 10 countenancs to tho Nashville
Convention, that when Convention lie called
the friends of tho Union ia that State will
rally ia such force as to secure large ma.
joriiy 10 the Convention. Georgia will take
no step that will place her in opposition 10
the Union. But really has the South any
cause to complain at the admission OF Cali.

No personal insult Of any hind has ever taken

The following remarks, from the Ml~au-
kee Commercial Advertiser, will, We think
apply with equal force to this town, as TO any
other. There can be but little doubt bat this
fatal scourge will make its appearance again
the coming summer, probably at an earlier
date than last season, and it is certainly very
necessary for all TO make preparations for guard
ing against it; and no better preventive is
known than cleanliness and temperance. We
hope our town will be thoroughly cleaned
from all impurities, and that We shall not be
compelled to witness the fatal effects Of Chol-
era again, the coming season.
sSoveraI cases of Cholera have occurred in
New y ork city within the past month, some
of which have terminated fatally. We would
not prenlatuTely excite the apprehensIoHs Of
the public mind, but there is reason 10 dread
Z return Of this fatal scourge during the ap-
preaching summer. During the whole west
ward progress Of the epidemic, from the re-
hottest point Of the eastern continent, where
Il first made It's appearance four years since, It
has prevailed more OF less for two seasons,
and then gradually subsidized. Such has been
the case according 70 the authenticated ac-
counts from Asia, and the remote points of Eu-
rope, and such il has been in France and En-
gland. It's continuance although in a modified
o. restricted form il New Orleans aud New
York, during the winter, gives ground for the
belief that It will make its appearance again
as It did the past year. Such being the case,
early and active measures should De taken in
every city and vIlIage,-aye, in and about ev-
cry house, to remove every cause of inpurity,
and infection, before the warmth of spring
shall come to create an unhealthy miasma-
The experience Of the past year, if it is worth
anything, and It was certainly bought dearly
III some places, teaches that comparative safe
y can be secured by removing all causes that
tend to render the ar impure, and by careful
~ observing the laws of health. If this ex-
perIence IS lost upon US We shall have TO sui-
fer for It. Our city escaped lightly last sea
son, and We hope that early means will be IA
ken to secure its citizens against the probabil-
ity of the TeaPPearaHcc Of the Cholera in their
midst.

From California.

A large number of California letters were re-
ceiyed in this place on Saturday last, which
have had tendency to raise the fever to an
alarming degree Most Of these letters we
understand give very fattering accounts of the
Mining prospects, but all agree as to The hard
ships 10 be endured by those who perform the
trip whether by land or water. Those who
have taken the overland route, generally advise
their friends not to come that way, while others
taking the is,hmus route, give the same advise
in regard to the water route. For the present
we are inclined to consider the advice of each
as good, and act accordingly. Il is calcula-
ted that not less than two hundred, IN and a
bout Mineral Point, are preparing to start IN
the spring, for California, and unless some
