Cholera.

Johnstown and vicinity are still afflicted with
the disease bearing SO close resemblance to
cholera, that we cannot call it by any other
name. Since Thursday morning last there has
been ten or twelve deaths, some Of which oc-
CURED in the short space of from four to six
hours. The disease has all the symptoms Of
cholers and is pronounced to be such by the
resident physicians. 1t has been confined to a
certain locality, that part Of the town lying
along the base of the hill, but we learn is ex-
tending to the northern and western part of the
village. The German population has suffered
most from its attacks, caused. it is said, by the
large quantity of green's, pew potatoes, and
vegetables they eat daily. The basin of the
Canal is overgrown with rank weeds, and the
efiiuvia arising from it every morning is also
said to be cause of the prevailing sickness.

THE CHRISTIANA TRAGEDY.

The melancholy tragedy at Christiana,
in this State, by which two citizens OF
Maryland lost their lives, has established
in letters of blood, the dangerous char
acter of the modern abolitionists.
The fugitive slaves in question, when
they fired on the representatives Of the
law, only carried out in practice, whai
the abolitionists constantly assert in
principle. For years past Garrison and
mis- followers have been telling fugitives
that they have right to Stay any man,
be he even master or public officer, who
attempts to impede their flight; and
these deluded negroes, in 9erpetrating
the atrocious murder we record 10 day
have only obeyed the advice of those
whom they consider their friends. O:heI

Steamship Winfield Scott, which sailed
from New-Orleans on the 9th, arrived at
this port at half-pas. : to day,
Lieut.. Van Vech.en, one of the invad-

was pardoned by The Captain General of
Havana, through the intercession of Capt.

Messrs. Kelly and lIaycns, who are also
pardcncd. are OF their way to the United
States, in the ship Norma, of this port.
They will not arrive for some days. Mr..
Van Vechten bears some marks of the
prison, having been completely shaved
while at Havana. He is glad enough 20
he where he is, and is fortunate IN being
one of the three who has been pardoncd.
He regards himself, we believe, as having
been dipped to go on board the Pampero.
Capt. Plat pleaded for the release of ali
the prisoners. aS did others in Havana,
but without avail They would all be
sent to Spain, but it is not impossible
that the iniercessions which shall be
made in their Behalf to the Spanish Gov
eminent will secure their release. The
Captain General does not feel at liberty
to go further.
