DF We observe in the New York papers
a notice from Mr.. O'RielIy, that conven-
ton was to have been held in that city on the
10th inst. of delegates from the various tel
egraphic companies who have constructed
lines under his arrangements, for the purpose
of better organizing the intercourse between
the various lines, TO arrange tariffs, so as to
equalize and moderate prices, promote ac-
curacy and despatch, and otherwise promote
the satisfaction of the public.
Mr. O'Relly soIeits from presses, and from
his correspondents generally, such sugges-
lions for the improvement of the system as
may be appropriately considered by that con-
vention, especially in reference to accuracy,
promptness and economy in the transaction
of financial business, believing that the pow
er of the telegraph as a momentary agent
will probably soon be found to be one Of its
most valuable features. He has established
a general telegraphery at No 18l, Broadway.

con1ederated companies.

SHADE TRBEs.-During this excessively
hot weather, owners of real estate possessing
them, can truly appreciate the worth ofshade
trees. There are many streets of our city
where these agreeable ornaments are much
needed. At times like the present their val
ne would be almost incalculable. While
they are the hest protection from scorching
SUI, they often prevent disease. We seldom,
if ever, hear o. persons receiving sun strokes
in shaded streets. Owners OF real estate can
pursue no surer nor less expensive mode OF
increasing the value of their property than by
setting out good shade trees upon it.

PRESIDENT Observation-Disclosures
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Express, in his letter Of the 10 inst
speaking of the new administration, says;
And what will be done with the slavery
question, the compromise bill, &c, &c. q
Mr.. Fillmore is the personal friend OF Mr.
Clay and their relations are Of a warm char
acter. His wishes are, it is believed, that the
slavery question shall in some way be settled.
1t is certain that lie will exert no influence
against the settlement. The pressure, there
fore, that has been on Northern Wings will
he taken off. But what is to be the result of
things, the future must disclose. 1t seemed
to me, if may indulge an opinion, that the
compromise is strengthed now.
That Mr. Fillmore will faithfully. fully, and
honorably discharge his new duties, no man
can doubt who knows him. He has always
been faithful to every duty that he had to
perform. He is a sound. conservative, ma
tional Wing; and indulge in high hopes
that he will come up to the best expectations
ofevery sound man in the country.

The history Of the past has shown that ne
alarm need be felt in consequence OF this sud
den and violent change of the natural order
oievents. Our Institutions are strong enough
to bear the shock The affairs of the govern
ment will go on, undisturbed by any popular
commoton, and unchecked by any strife for
the succession. Mr.. Fillmore is a man in
whom the whole Union may repose a firm
and just confidence. His life has been, less
conspicuously than General TayIor's devo-
ted to the service ofth whole Union. and he
is no less thorough than he is national in
all his feelings, in all his principles, and in all
his conduct. He is familiar with public al
fairs, and has discharged the duties OF every
station which he has been summoned to fill
with ability dignity, and success. We feel
the utmost confidence that, so far as may de-
pend upon him, the high duties of the great
Office into which he has been SO solemnly in
Quoted, will be discharged with the most en-
tire lalthfulness and the most patriotic devo-
ton to the preservation and the welfare of
our glorious Union.-FN. Y. Cour.

mines. Two Chilians were accused of theft,
tried before an Alcalde and six jurors, con-

to be hung. Just before their execution,
some of the Americans complained that the

investigation, the prisoners were acquitted

Course Of the Cholera.

Tracing back to their origin, the different
lethiferous epidemics which have SO fearfuIly
scourged mankind we find they originated
either in Asia or Africa.
Alike from its recent outbreak, general NOR
tality and extensive diffusion, the epidemic
which Is now devastating our land, Is a sub
ject of great alarm and deep enquiry.
In studying the history of the Asatic cho-
lera, we take no note of its existence, to any
considerable extent, prior to its outbreak
among the inhabitants of Jessora, India, in
the year 1917. 1t remained there but few
weeks, and destroyed ten thousand lives; con-
veyed thence to Calcutta more than two
hundred individuals fell its victims every day.
Overspreading the entire province Of Bengal
the pestilence reached the grand army on the
Sinde, and in one week swept away nine
thousand soldiers and camp followers. From
the army and Calcutta it spread over all In
dia, and in the year 1919, reached CeylOn and
the Indian Archipelago 1t fell with fatal
hand on the inhabitants Of the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, who, thinking it magic art Of the Eu-
ropeans and Chinese, commenced a struggle
against them, in which they lost fifteen
thousand men. Ravag;ng China, Arabia and
Persia, in the year 1923, it reached the Yves
tern shores of the Mediterranean, where its
course became arrested until the year 1881.
Asiatic cholera made its first appearance
lin Europe in the year 1881, when the Rus
sian army, with its Asiatic hordes, invaded
Poland to suppress the Revolution of 1880.
1t broke out, ut that time, first among the
soldiers of the Russian army, and then
among the Poles; and great numbers fell its
subjects. Before the close of that year it
had spread with dread mortality over the
whole of Western Europe. The next year,
1882, 1t found its way into the United States,
Canada and part of South America. Since
its first appearance in the United States ii
has existed to a greater or less extent almost
everywhere-most fearfully among the sol
diers of the Russian army while in Hungary
1t is now on its third visit to the United States
and, although not existing to any great ex-
tent, is " kicking up terrible muss " among
the people of different sections Of the country
As to the cause of this dreadful epidemic
all, as yet, seems mere conjecture and the
numerous hypothesis attributing il to the in
fuence of seasons. diet &c. have failed tc
bear examination. The subject has beer
deeply investigated, and no satisfactory con
illusions as to its cause have been arrived at

TELEGRAPH DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, July Is.
SENATE.

After the usual mornings business, Mr..
Clay called up the compromise bill.
MIR. Benton proposed an amendment so as
to provide for the northern boundary of Tex
as, as follows:
" Beginning at point in the middle of the
deepest channel in the Rio Grande del Norte,
below where the same is crossed by the 1929
west longitude and west from that meridian
of Greenwich, thence north along that longi-
tude to the 81" of North latidue. thence east
ward to the point at which the 1852 west lon
gitnde cross Red river.
Mr.. Benton proceeded to address the Sem
ate in support Of the amendment. which, he
said, was designed to avoid the dsmember
ment Of New Mexico, such as was involved
in'the bill Of the committee. He went into
an argument to show that the committees
bill does involve such a acknowledgements
The proposition Of the committee was to am
putate New Mexico at her hip and leave her
mangled and then ask her 10 stump it thro'
the country! He defied them 10 show him
any reason for cutting her off at that partic-
ular point that should not eventually apply
to any other point. In referring 10 the course
taken by the friends of the bill in keeping Sc
cret the amount to be paid to Texas until the
closing action upon the bill, he ridiculed the
reasons presented for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
! New Mexico. and compared 1T with the late
message of the President relating to the mis-
sion of Major Neghbors to Santa Fe. The
former goes to show that in order to save n.
| Mexico, she should be cut in two, one-half to
/ be given away and the other half purchased
/ by Texas, while the latter mildly and firmly,
but in plain words, declared her right to re
main nviolate until her title should be settled
| by a competent authority.
Mr.. Rusk rose to reply, but at the sugges-
ton of several Senators, postponed his re-
marks till tomorrow, and moved an adjourn
ment, which was agreed to.

,rHE HOMES OF INDIANA,

BIZ J. B. CAKES.
The Indiana cottage homes,
How pleasantly they rise,
In beauty Ger her fertile land,
Beneath the summer skies;
They spread upon her fowery plains,
Her gentle swelling hills,
And nestle in the groves that bend
Above her shouting rills.
Rich fields of crimson, green, and gold,
Like quiet seas are there;
And boughs that droop with luscious fruits
Are floating in the air;
The clear cold springs come swelling forth
From out It's moss hung cave,
And Ger the flowers that kiss its stream,
The sheltering locusts wave.
Around in woven arches stand
The giant forest trees;
And wreathing vines AMI blossoms fling.
Their fragrance on the breeze,
The pawpaw rears its silver shaft,
Above the mandrake green.
And bounding DER the fallen tree,
The graceful deer is seen.
The joyous humming of the bee,
The distant hunters horn.
The farm-yard sounds the forest notes,
Blend in The breath of morn;
And when the eyes of Heaven look thrO
The night air dim and chill,
In plaintive melody is heard
The mournful Whippoorwil1.
The Indiana happy homes!
Within their lovely walls,
Are forms as fair, and hearts as true,
As dwell in sculptured halls;
There woman's love-man's friend: hip warm
And childhood's glee unite,
To throw around their quietness
halo of delight
The Indiana peaceful homes!
Each household hearth above,
The ready rife hangs to guard,
The land their owners love;
No tyrant footprint stains the soil,
BY freemen only trod;
Who never have in suppliance knelt,
Save when in prayer to God.

them, can now return in safety.

labor, on account of the cholera alarm, have
returned to their work. The daily newspa-
