L[ Snail the Cholera again be permit
ted to enter Mineral Point2 From ac-
counts received from New Orleans. and
other places, it is already numbering hun
dreds among its victims, and is winding
its way rapidly up the Mississippi. We
learn from private letter received day
or two since, that eases of undoubted
Asiatic Cholera have recently occurred
but little below Galena, on the river, and
we know no reason why it is not just as
likely to come to Mineral, Point this sea
son as last. Therefore, we would say to
all, look well to the business of cleansing
your streets, lanes, cellars, and in short
every place where there IS sufficient filth
TO generate disease, and We venture 10 say,
if it is attended to in season, we shall not
be called upon to record the visit Ct this
destroyer in our town the coming season.
Let this preventive be attended to imme-
diately, and there is little danger.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF TIFF OWNERS OF
CALIFORNIA STEAMERs.-Fhe New ORLEANS
Bulletin, of the 9th uIt., makes The following
statements in regard to the manner in which
human beings are packed away on board the
American steamers to Chagres for California:
" We do not wonder at the loud and bitter
complaints which we hear from passengers
going on the steamers from the L nited States
to Chagres, and it cannot be consid' cred in any
light than gross imposition upon them, by
which both their health and lives are endan-
gered. We at present more particula rly al
Jude to the case Of the Georgia, which recent
ly left New York, it is said, with $40 pas
sengers, though the number publicly rep orted
was only GOO. Even the latter, however, was
very full number, TO be accommodated with
decency and comfort. 1t appears, however,
on her arrival to Havana, $50 more pass en-
gers, who went from this city or the Falc On,
were turned over to her, making an aggre-
gate of 1900 passengers to proceed in her
from Havana to Chagres ! We can find no
Justification for proceeding of this kind, on
the part of the New York owners of these
the number of passengers to be taken at New
Y oTk and New Orleans respectively, and the
aggregate of them should never exceed what
can be properly accommodated on board, with
out slowing them together like cattle, and
with the imminent risk Of creating pestilence,
from their crowded and uncomfortable situa-
ton, under a burning sun of the Caribbean
sea.
| AS the cholera at present exists in New
| York, how very possible is it that this fell
diaeasc should, in the highly crowded state of
tina, ship, develop itself board after she
| leaves Havana, and, in such an event, wha,
an awful responsibility would her owners in
cur.
We sincerely hope the spbje,-, will a,,-.c.

A DISASTER AvERTED BY DIsCIPLINE.-The
steamer Alex. Scott had a narrow escape from
destruction by fire during her last trip to New
Orleans. She had among her cargo lot of
baled hemp, which was stored in her engine
or deck room. Just below Matches, deck
passenger, either designedly or by accident,
set the hemp on fire. The flames spread rap
idly, and the cry of fire caused the utmost con-
sternation among the passengers. The cap
tain and his gallant crew, however, did not
waver for an instant The boat was beaded
for the shore, and the passengers and others,
with whatever valuables they could collect,
were ordered to the oo;s of the boat. 10 be
ready to leap on shore In the meantime, Mr..
McF arland, tie mate, called the crew .ogeth-
eF. lac oeds were stripped of their blankets.
ard each Of the crew seized a blanket, and,
with their mate at their head, rushed into the
midst of the devouring flames and with the
blankets smothered the fire, and in few mo-
ments had it entirely subdued.
Thus, by the GOODNESS of the officers, and
the perfect discipline and obedience of her
crew, terrible disaster perhaps was averted,
and the Scott escaped uniniured. The au-
thor of the accident was put shore at the next
woodward, and when the boat arrived at New
Orleans, the accident was Lot.is-
