The congre..lonaI Conven,rou

For this district is TO be held at
Pomeroy on the 2Sth Of August
The call Of the Wing Central Com
mitiee will be found in this paper.
As the Committee, Tor good rea-
sons undoubtedly, have thought pro-
per that the delegates should be Sc
selected in the several townships
rather than in a county convention,
as is the case in the other counties
OF the district, we trust that .he
Wings in each township will remem-
Der their meetings. Let the Wings
come together on that occasion to
select men who will faithfully repre-
sent their views, and in whom there
is sufficient Of confidence to secure
for their acts the undivided support.
These meetings will offer an ex.
cellent opportunity, as the committee
suggest, for thorough township or
ganization. Let it be improved.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.

ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE
Death Of Sir Robert Pesl-Anival Of
the American Squadron at Lisbon
Great Excitement-Crops in Europe
Pronising-LOuis Philippe Rapidly
Declining.
HAL1RAx, July Is.
The steamship America arrived off
the harbor last night, but owing 10
dense fog that prevailed, she did not
reach her wharf until this morning.
The America arrived at Liverpooi
Sunday, the Goth ult., at noon, and
sailed on the 6th inst, at 2 P. NJ.
Sir Robert Peel was killed on the
2Sih Of June, by being thrown from
his horse.
The growing crops Of Grain
throughout the Kingdom continue
promising. though the harvest may
be later than the average Of seasons.
We have dates from Lisbon TO the
9th ult. Great excitement prevailed,
in consequence OF the arrival Of an
American squadron in the Tagus-
to enforce the claims Of the United
States Government.
Twenty one days were allowed
by the American commander, for
reply. Fears were entertained of a.
refusal, the Portuguese Government
having determined to resist 4he de-
mand upon them.
Speculation is rife in England, as
TO the probable effect the death Of
Sir Robert Peel will have on the
position Of parties. The general be-
lief seems to be, that the event will
rather strengthen than diminish the
position of the present Ministry
Louis Philippe is said to be dying
Of cancer in the stomach, and his
relatives state that his life can scarce
Iy last a month longer.

We understand that reports are
in circulation through the countys
that the cholerai is raging TO an alarm
ing extent in GaIIipolis. What we
have said heretofore in regard to the
existence Of this disease in our midst
was the exact truth, and all reports
that cholera is existing in Gallipolis
TO any extent, are false. We do not
know of acase originating in the place
this summer.
The only case that has occurred
and that convinced our citizens that
the disease was in truth in our midst,
was that OF Mr.. Roman ]. Mensger,
Junior partner OF the firm OF c. J.
Menager & Co., who died Friday
evening at 6 O'Clock, after an illness
of about twenty hours. Mr.. Mena-
ger had returned from Cincinnati in
the morning and was taken sick
the night of the same day at ten or
eleven O'Clock.
Although this case offers no rea-
sons for alarm, yet, that one Of our
prominent business men-one whose
noble qualities had endeared him to
all; should be thus suddenly seized
from among us, while yet in the
bloom Of early manhood, was suffi-
cient TO arrest attention and cast a
gloom over our community, and
force upon all The reflection "what
shadows we are, and what shadows
we pursue"
There was a case somewhat re-
sembling cholera, left here by the
steamer VIM. Phillips on Sunday
night. The name Of the individual
was Perry. We were told by his
physician that he was better and
would probably recover.
All the cases we hear Of, at all
resembling cholera in its early stages,
or those symptoms which might re-
suit in cholera, have readily yielded
TO medical treatment.
We repeat what we have said be-
fore, our town is as healthy as it
ever was at this season Of the year.
We venture to say that there is not
a more healthy village in Southern
Ohio than this. We trust our coun-
try friends will not be prevented
from visiting by any of the idle ru-
mors OF sickness. We shall give the
truth of the matter from week to
week.

THE FAMILY OF PRESIDENT FILL
MoRE.--A New York paper, speak
ing OF President Fillmore and his
family, says:
In regard to his politicl relations,
they are well known in oul State
which has always delighted to hon.
or him; but the wire pulIers should
have the delicacy 10 let him alone
until the remains Of the lamented
President are entombed. In regard
to his family, the President is blessed
with a most excellent wife, who is
peculiarly well qualified for the high
station she is about to adorn; and
two children, a son and daughter.
The son is young man, not over
twenty, Of the genuine republican
stamp which characterizes the coun-
try boys of Western New York
He has Just entered upon the profess
sion of the law. The daughter is an
accomplished young lady, about
eighteen years Of age, and now en-
gagged, we believe, in the honorable
employment as teacher of public
school in Buffalo.
The latter fact is something for
republican people TO boast Of; and
something to put the dainty daugh-
tiers of our ould-be-aristocracy to
the blush.

said that il was the impulse Of his
own Judgment to DO so, but that
others advised not. II is not too
late now, to rescue him from any
Just censure. but if il had been taken
at first, there would have been no
occasion for the appointment Of a

have been spared the eliminating
proceedings that took place in the
House. But trust the matter will
be referred to the decision Of the
Courts, and with their judgment the
country will be satisfied.

CHOLERA IN MExIco.-By the arrival
at New Orleans of the schooner Water
Witch, from Vera Cruz, the Picayune
has received files of papers from the
city Of Mexico to the 25th ult., being
thirteen days later than previous dates
We extract the following items from the
Picayune:
The Congress which was to have as.
sembled in the city OF Mexico, was un.
able to do so for want of quorum
The Senate met and organized, but moi
more than II members of the Chamber
Of Deputies could be brought together.
The cholera had committed most aw-
full ravages in the city of Mexico.
From-the 18th of May to the 18th oi
June, inclusive, the number of cases
was 7,846. On the last day named,
June 10th, there were 23O deaths.
which was the highest number in any
one day. After this period, the disease
continued to increase. OF the 7,846
cases, 1856 were treated in hospital
The Trait d'Union says that during the
American invasion 400 persons died in
a day of typhus fever, and DO one
thought anything oft. We have never
heard this statement before, and are ra-
ther inclined to doubt its authenticity.
In San Luis eighty deaths per day
took place from the epidemic; 900 per-
sons had died.
In Morelta and Zacatecas the disease
was declining.
A private letter received in New Or
leans, by this arrival, dated Vera Cruz,
June 95th, says: "The cholera is ra-
ging in the city of. Mexico to an alarm
ing extent. Report here makes the
mortality 900 daily"

The body looked almost as naru-
raj as in health. when moving, as l
have frequently seen it, through the
now gloomy apartments Of the Pres
idential mansion. The features
were full and firm, with no signs Of
decomposition whatever. Its preser-
vation was no doubt referable to the
refrigeratory process 10 which it
had been subjected. 1t may be said
TO have been literally frozen.

with, but newspapers are now classed
