CHOLERA AND ITS CAusE.-We have received
from the author, ]. X. Chaudert, NJ. D., of New
York, a copy of o pamphlet, in which he treats of
the Cholera, its causes, and method of cure. Ac-s
cording to Dr.. c., cholerais caused by inhailing
a small green insect, discernable only with the
Microscope, and existing only where cholera ex
lists. He found the insect by barring his arm; and
where cholera exists millions of this minute insect
will be found on the arm by useing the microscope.
These insects, he thinks, are produced by malari-
Gus exhalations, and carried from place to place by
the wind. They produce inflammation in the sto-
mach, by fixing upon mucous membrane, and the
inflammation is transmitted to the liver through the
duct leading from the stomach to the gall blndeIi
and by general irritation of the nerves, produce the
SYMPTOMS of cholera. This is his theory; his cure he
keep to himself, till the governments OF various
countries compensate him for his discovery. ne
is said TO have been very successful in the of
cholera and so has others, by the means which he
condemns as NAL practice, which he says has Kill
led mere than cholera-Phila. Ledger

H.cs--SPEcULArIoNs.-A we have before stated
,Lc recent decline in bacon has caused a decline
in the pr ce of hogs for the packing season, new
about commencing. In Cincinnati prices have de-
clined 25 cents though contracts have been made
for $4,000 hogs at full prices. AT Madison, Ia,
about 1l5, 900 head have been contracted for, and
IS net is the highest price in theycnty for several
weeks. Our city packers have contracted for up
wards of 10000 hogs, and the present ruling price
appears to be IS. 1t is fully calculated that up
wards of 100000 hogs will be slaughtered here this
season. lli i, hE gI
A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial. from
Florence, KY, states that we are endeavoring to
depress the markets for the Lenet Of spectators,
by saying that prices will rule low, and that there
will be great increase in the crop this year. In
this the writer is altogether wrong. The Courier
has INDUCED in no speculations whatever, but on
the contrary have confined ourselves to the facts
as we get them. Ours is the only paper that has
published full a.d reliable information from all
quarters and all sides in regard to the hog crop, and
in no instance have stated that there would be
great increase, except in the number of hogs to be
slaughtered around Louisville.

Testimony ornn Independent Paper.

The. following, which we copy from the Balti-
more Clipper, an able and influential paper that
takes no part in politics. we commend to the atten
finn of orr readers, Democrats as well as Wings.
II is noble tribute to the glorious old patriot, who,
Notwithstanding alife of devotion to his country
glory and welfare, is now cruely-maligned, and
slandered, and hunted down by the blood hounds
of party simply because the people have indicated
their intention to place him in the Presidential
chair. Again we say, read the following; ~ ~.
GENERAL Scorr.--rhere was considerable
crowd at the Calvert Station, yesterday morning, to
y;,ness the departure of enera Scott for the west
on the business of government. On appearing on
the platform of the car, he was greeted WIN three
cheers, and we had the pleasure OF viewing ms no
BILE form and manly countenance Tor the hrst time
in our lives, though under ms colhianu lof slois
period in 1915 in this city.
Aswe never expect to receive either loaf or a
fish from him, in case OF his election to the PreSi-
dency, have no personal motive 10 inuuce US "
praise him-but we must say, that, were we us
posed to be his enemy, the foul charges and fabri-
cations which have been published against him,
would warm our hearts towards him. AS a Gene
al we doubt whether his equal lives; and as an
honest, humane, and honorable man, he can stand
a comparison with any man. :.
The testimony of those who have served under
him, proves that, in performing the stern duties oil
the commanding General, he never lost the humane
feelings of the man. We have heard narratives OF
his gentleness, tenderness and humanity towards
the sick and wounded, which brought tears into
the ewes of the speaker-and disconnected from al
political considerations, we could not repress oul
| love for the man.
Some of the most admirable traits in the charac-
ter of Napoleon, were his kindness to his men-bu'
in this particular, he has been surpassed by Gene
raj Scott-wllo visited, soothed and relieved the
sick, even at the risk of his own life. Such hui
manity on the part of successful GeneIal-sucf
regard for the welfare of the common soldier-can
not fail to exalt him i'll public estimation far above
the reach of falsifiers and slanderers, who would
tarnish his glory as military chieftain, and his re
putation as private gentleman. Malgnity ma!
seek to stiglnatze Gen. Scott with cowardce, fraud
&C., but the American people, whether they cleo
him to the Presidency not, will never cease Il
feel grateful for the great services which he ha
| rendered to the country.

TIE RECENT ALLEGED EEBEzzLEMENr IN WALL
SrnEEr-At the appointed hour, II O'Clock on
Saturday morning. befole Justice Osborne, the
parties concerned in the recent charge of embezzl-
ing s22, 900 from the banking house of Brown,
Brothers 6. Co., met at the Police Court, Tonbs,
for the purpose OF entering into the examination
pending against Augustus G. NJ. Bowen, the late
cashier in the concern, and David "A. Comstock,
the bill broker, who were in court accompanied by
their friends and counsels. Some half hour was
consumed in one party waiting for the other, and
private consultations held with the magistrate
by counsel on both sides. 1t then ultimately
announced, on the arrival of Mr.. Brown, that the
magistrate could not conveniently proceed with
the examination, his duty called him to the bust
ness of the office; but that, on Monday, he would
be relieved from the office business and could then
devote his whole attention to the case, wishing to
be present without interruption. Mr.: Brown re-
marked that the earlier they the invest-
CATION, the sooner, probably, they would conclude
It. This remark caused a smile to pass among
those present and appeared to be concluded as
fixed fact, The complainants and defendants both
acknowledged they were fully prepared to go into
the examination; but, on the suggestion Of the
magistrate the whole matter was adjourned over
until Monday afternoon, at one o'clock.

Hos. EDWARD C. MARSHALL, OF CALIFoRSiA.-
This gentleman recently caused a very high degree
of excitement at a Loco meetingi in Cincinnati.
Disney Pugh, and other speak were present pre-
pared address the sovereigns; but Marshall took
the lead and unconsciously got upon California,
Oregon, and general Scott, the latter of whom he
praised most enthusiastically to the dismay and
honor of his hearers. Disney and Pugh were
called for, but Marshall said he had come to make
a speech, and would do nothing less. AT one
stage of the meeting he held in his hand dark
looking affair, with honey or wasP-nest
appearance at the end, at which the people APP
peared to be somewhat frightened! Resort was
breast it only induced the orator to say that he da-
red any many to "endorse'' that music! No one
did so however. The revolver looked too iornld-
able! .-
The crowd scattered some; but, for appearance
sake, Mr.. Disney made few remarks before
formal adjournment was had.-Washington iele-

nails mention the death, at Whydah, on the coast of
Africa, of the Portuguese Da Souza, the most noted
slave dealer on the African coast-He was the
agent of the King of Dahomy for many years, and
by his larresses to the mobiles of Dahomey suppor-
ted that monarch upon his throne when he would
else have fallen. The King believed him immense
ly rich, but when he died he was found to be des-
perately poor, and for some time previous had been
in fear of absolute want This resulted from his
miserable want of management in his business,
keeping no accounts, writing letters &C., until
he lost the confidence Of all who traded with him.

HEMr.-Good hemp, says the Hannibal (hlo.)
Journal, is worth $50 in this market. The pros
pect very fine in this section, for more than an
average crop, not from the farmers having increased
their crop, but being better than usual, it will
weigh heavier. We are told by gentleman well
informed on the subject that hemp has never been
better in this part of the country. The drought
came too late to injure it, The hemp is all made
and put up in shocks, and the only thing now left
is TO rot it properly. The average amountannual-
ly brought to this market is about two hundred
