From the Falls of the Missouri,

Among the passengers on the steamer Sacra-
mento, yesterday, YVES Mr.. Alexander NJ. Harvey,
of the well-known firm of Harvey, Primeau & Co,
Indian traders. Mr.. Harvey is direct from the
Falls of the Missouri, being the first and only arri-
val from that distant point this He left the
Falls on the 18th Of April in a small boat accom-
panied by six men, and performed the trip to this
city, distance of 27oo miles, in forty days, inclu-
ding stoppages at various trading posts.
Contrary to former reports, we learn from Mr.
H. that very little snow has fallen in the noun
aius during the past winter and less in the vicinity
of the Falls and Fort Campbell than he ever knew
He found the Missouri extremely low, until he
reached the mouth of the River Platte, from which
stream the present rise is coming-caused by
heavy rains and snow from the mountains, as
would be generally supposed.
Mr.. Harvey brings but little news of interest
The buffalo last fall were unusually scarce and the
Blackfeet tribe OF Indians unsuccessful in their
hunt, that the whole nation is the point of star.
vaton. The smallpox, which ragged fearfuy
among the Sioux last fall, had made its appearance
among the Puncah Indians, on Running Water
and vast numbers were dying. The Iowas, loca.
ted on the north side of the Missouri, short dis.
tance above St. Joseph, also suffering from the
cholera as well as smallpox.
Mr. Harvey is OF the opinion that the supply o.
buffalo robes and furs will be unusually small this
| season, as nearly all the tribes on the Missour
unsuccessful in their last years hunt. Three
/ boats loaded with robes belonging to the house o
Harvey, Prmeau u Co., may be expected here il
| a few days.
The Indians continue to commit petty depreda
tons upon the traders, but the whole Indian coun
try bordering upon the Missouri has been generally

1t is scarcely possible to believe that Mr. Rhett
and his associate enemies to the Union, have not
already begun to feel the ground quaking under
them. 1t is known that since the adjournment of
the recent Convention in Charleston, some of the
most noble sons of Carolina have cut loose from
the Conventionists for ever. They love South
Carolina WELL and in their attachments to the
Union, they show their devotion to their own State
One or two Of these letters from men on whom
Rhett and his co-plotters relied as pillars of their
cause, have been extensively published. The
writers of these letters had been drawn certain
length into the aurements of fancied antagonism
to the general government, but as soon as the black
flag Of secession was hoisted, they poured out their
patriotism in Indignation at the proceeding. Others
are declaring their detachment from secession in
slower, but equally resolute measure. Among the
latter class we find the Hon. A. Burt, gentleman
who carries more influence in South Carolina than
Mr.. Rhett himself. Mr. Burt has been giving his
days and nights Of thought to the mad cap schemes
in which his State was about to be involved BY
hot-headed and reckless leaders. He has been
appalled, by his own reflections, on the danger to
which he appeared to have been leading himself.
In the meantime it seems to have become necessary
to have the strength of his name to aid the seces.
sion cause, and he has gladly embraced the oppor-
| tunity to secede from the secessonists. We are
expecting treat when we meet with his letter.
The following gloomy reference to it, in the Coum-
bia South Carolinian, gives us very good FORE
taste, however:
Hon. A. Burt.-This gentleman has defined his
position in a long letter published in the Abbeve
banner What that position is, our readers may
learn from the following comments from the
Banner:
We publish to- day Mr. Burt's response to the
Greenwood interrogatories. We have no doub,
,he change or modification Of his position, since
last fall, will be received with surprise bv MANY
who looked to him as Of the leaders in favor Of
separate secession, If need be. Many have been
the surmises ocoasioned by the seeming backward
ness Of Mr.. Burt in giving expressions of his
opinion, and we are by no means surprised at his
| Withholding such sentiments so long"

The Recorder and the Cresce mt.

Mr.. Caldwell has published a card in the Delta,
in which he denies the charges made by us against
him. Had he used the language of gentleman,
we would have allowed him to appear on our
boards as it is, we will face him with the record.
We have before us the complaint of B. Eloi, po
lice officer, against S. O'Leary, ex.Leutenant,
charging said O'Leary with assaulting him in the
Recorders Court while in the discharge of his
duty, on May 22d. The endorsement is in the
handwriting of the Recorder, requiring bond of
$500 to keep the peace. The certificate of Mr.
Eloi proves the rest of our charge Oh this head
On the 22d of May, S. O'Leary, late Lieutenant
of Police Second Municipality, assaulted me while
in the discharge of my duty police officer, at
tempting to prevent fight in the Recorders Court
| entered a complaint against him, and after the
examination, Recorder Caldwell ordered US both to
give bopd in 500 dollars to keep the peace. As
no complaint had been made against me, declined
to execute the bond, and there the matter stands.
was not fined in any sum. B. ELoI.
Mr.. Caldwell denies having required bond, bui
says he fined both! The poor old woman is
troubled with short memory. We charged him
with sympathizing with the ex-police. This he
denies. We were not present. but learn from the
officers in attendance, that he said, substantially,
That the officers turned out were naturally much
chagrined, and he did not ,Uonder at It," He also
said he "would hold to trial every officer who
came in collision with any of the citizens" This
was said Immediately after the disgraceful scene
in the courtroom. Several persons arrested for
assauliing the officers, have, on their part, made
complaint against Capt Forno, Lieut. Hughes,
and other officers. Capt. Forno informed the Re-
corder that he had declared, as magistrate, the
course he intended to pursue, and that he, Capt.
Forno, would recnse him, if he did not recuse him
self. The Recorder answered that he would either
recuse himself, send the to another magis-
trate. During the month of April, several CON-
plants were made by persons who swore they had
been assaulted and robbed-ihe perpetrators were
identified, and known to be notorious characters.
In one instance they were discharged, and in the
others they were required to give their own bonds
to keep the peace
We dare the Recorder to court an investigation
of these charges. We will make good every line
we write, or we will acknowledge the injustice we
have done him. We entertain no malice toward
such an imbecile dotard but we look on him as
public nuisance, from his utter inefficiency and
ignorance
During the last year of Mr. Badwin's admins
tration, there was but one burglary committed in
this Municipality. Now, house breakings, robbie.
ries aud murders are of daily occurrence. We can.
not remain quiet while crime is allowed to stall
through the streets at noon.

RE-VAoCINATGoN--Medic men are very often
asked if one vaccination is sufficient to protect the
system, through life, from smallpox; how often
it is necessary to have the operation performed
The late DR.. Fisher, of Boston, for long time
gave attention to this subject, and in January last
published, with others, the following propositions,
which supported by numerous statistical facts,
and are fully relied upon by the profession
81. 4 hat one single and psrf4ct vaccination
does not, for all time in all cases. deprive the sys
TEN of It's susceptibility of varlolous diseases.
| "2. That one or more re-vaccinations do and
that consequently physician should recommend re-
vaccination, when questioned as to its necessity.
3. The system Is protected from varioous con
tagion when it is longer susceptible of vaccine
Influence, as tested by re-vaccination.
Every person, therefore, who would be fully
protected from smallpox, should be not only once
vaccinated, but should have the operation repeated
one or two times, until the system ceases to be
affected by the virus For most persons one opera
ton would be found sufficient, while others NAV
require several. Re-vaccination, at least once,
should always be practiced. If this were the case
generally, this dire disease would soon become
