The CHOLERA BAFFLEp.-ln the very
height Of the cholera in this city last year
VIZ: the Goth Of June, lS49-Dr Turn
er, the chrono-,herma!ist, published in the
New York Sun an essay, demonstrating
by arguments drawn from reason and from
experience, that the mos: reliable and
etficscious remedy for the epidemic is an
ene.ic sufficiently active to assist the ef-
forts of nature in cleansing the system
This was thought, at the time, rather a
Sold proposition, and as taking the ''bnll
by the horns" in defiance Of the faculty.
The position has been very we'll sustain
ed, however. Em-tics of various kinds
have been employed advantageously in
various parts Of the country. The sim
plest form is that described by one Of our
sea captains Captain Peabody, of the
packe. ship "lsa'c Wright" in letter TO
DR. Turner in July last. viz: "A table
spoonful Of salt, tea-spoonfull Of red
pepper, in tumbler Of hot water"--in-
gradients to be readily obtained i'm every
well regulated household. This p,escrip
ton is simple enough, and one concerning
which we are pleased to see it asserted,
that it has been used in the western par,
of our country, the only place "ffording an
opportunity of trying il since its puhlica-
ton, with 'the most invariahle snccpss.''
But there is something more important
connected with it than the mere relieving
Of patients. Tie knowledge that an eff
cient remedy exists dispels all panic
which every one knows is ten times
worse than the mere disease and ex-
tracts the fangs from once dreaded mon
ster. The cholera is now like the plague.

The "NArIoNAL INrELLIcEscER'' com.
ments eloquently upon the attentions be-
slowed upon the Turkish Ambassador, as
the representative Of the Sultan Abdal
Mejid. Speaking of the Hungarians in
Turkey. says:
-Four thousand Hunearians and Poles,
mostly officers, among whcm were Kos
su,h, Dembinski, BEN, and Bahiany,
were received with a hospitality truly
Mussulman. They were all provided for
as well as il was possible the Sultan gave
them the same pay and rations as bis own
troops, and NJ. Kos>u,h was still treated
as the Governor Of Hungary. This was
not all. The two victorious Emperors
forgot what was due to the Sovereign of
another country, who, during the struggle,
against the wishes of his own people, had
remained wholly neutral, and thoug Oh they
did not invade his territory, sent each
demand for the delivery Of the unfortunate
fugitives to their victorious Generals
Had his demand been acquiesced in, the
consequence cannot for moment be
doubted. A most noble patriot, the noble
minded Ko-Suth, and all the chiefs OF his
Government, would have shared the fate
OF the unfortunate Baihiany, who. to free
himself from the disgrace Of the gallow.,
cut his throat in prison. This, however,
was Intellectual, and the bloodthirs,y Hay
nau ended the days Of the patriot by
hanging.
The determination Of the young Sultan

own. There were members of his Min
istry who were inclined to accede 10 the
demand Of the powerful Emprrors but
the Sultan exhibited the same firmnes-
which rendered his father so remarkable.
and r>ked his throne in supper, OF the
rights of hospitality.
p Whilst the odous Haynau is being ILL.,
treated by an English mob, in the streets
of London, this same noble Sultan sends
representative 10 learn for him the re-
sources, the improvements, and the arts
and sciences of the New World. The
sympathy Of the American people called
for all his good will and respect, and he
thus shows the estimation in which he
holds the support of the people Of the
United States. This gentleman has ar
rived in Washington; he came to our
shores in Government vessel as our
guest; the hospi,abIe people of New York
made him the guest of their city; and.
whilst our own Government does not III
teriere in the politics of Europe, il thus
shows the estimate which it places upon
such conduct as that of his sovereign :; and |
the voice Of great and free people will
not be unheeded in the Old World"

FOREIGN NEWS PER CAMBRIA


Denmark and the Duchies.-AGvices
from Hamburg state that on the 18th, the
Holstein army made forward movement,
with the intention Of attacking the bridge
across the Schles at Messender. The
Danes were driven from their fortified
position at kossendorf and other places,
into their entertainments, from whence
they cannonaded the Hols.einers for abou,
an hour, but without effect. When the
firing ceased, and the Holsteiners began
10 retire, the Danes replaced the bridge,
which they had previously removed, and
crossed with the intention of harra>sing
the retreat of the Holsteiners, but found
them so strong as TO render it unadvisable
to press them closely. Gen. Wilson
took possession of Eckenford, and estaa-
lished his headquarters at that town, in
the afternoon, but was subsequently
forced to retire, owing to the proximity OF
the Danish ships. The army bivouacke ed
at points somewhat in advance Of their
former position, and on the following day
the Danes still declined to give battle
They occupied the position which they
had occupied previously TO the advance
and up to the l4,h no further movement
had been made. The Hnls,einers lost las
men, the Danes about ITO.
Hesse Cassell. The Germans have
been occupied, for the last week, with the
sudden and precipi,ate flish, of the Prince
of Hesse Cassell. Disputes have arisen
between him and the Chambers, as to his
right to impose taxes without the consen,
of the latter, and the people having ob-
tanned the decision of the legal tribunal
to their resistance of the illegal taxes i'm.
posed by the government, the Prince
found the place too hot TO hold him and
fled. The Hessians appear TO be getting
along very well without the elector and
his infatuated ministers, and it is said .ha,
other States will probably follow the ex.
ample.

ANOTHER SLANDER.-The Old Hunkers are char
eing that Miller paid Hall and Woods IS day for
speaking in Lee county. prior to the election, in

missionary spirit impeled them 10 labor for the

From Fort Laramie.

The CORE pondent Of the st Louis Republican at
Fort Laramie, says that up to Aug. 14th the regis
ter kept at that place shows the following items:
ssMen 3s,5O6; women 2.421; children 500; horses
23,l72; 1888 mules; 36,ll6 oxen 1923 cows; 2l06
sheep; 1927 wagons; deaths en- route, s6. am
certain that not than fourffths Of the persons
who pass here en- route to California and Oregon
registered their names. At that rate the number
Of persons would equal about ffty-five thousand,

only form any fair or definite idea of the actual
mount Of this years pilgrimage. In comparison
with last year, very few have returned from this
