The CASE OF JAMES DENHEART.-We learn
from the Petersburg Express that this man has
been examined in Amelia on the charge Of re-
ceiving stolen goods and that he has been sent
on for trial 10 the next quarterly term of the
trate on the charge of felony, and sent on for
examination. On the first charge he was ad
mitted TO bal, on the second, bail was re-
fused. So it mattered but little with Denheart,
that he was baled in the frst-since he could

roof Of the house ia flames, and there
being no person near excepting her three

The Cholera.

A letter was recently read before the
Paris Academy Of Medicine, from M.
Ernest Cloquet, an eminent physician ol
Persia which says:
1--WE are mcnsccd with the cholera
next spring. II follows this :ime an un.
usual route; it broke out at Bossorah, in
1851; it has already rcmounled the backs
of Tigris 10 BasdaL; from BagdaL, trav.
ersing the KaMistan, it went to Aver.
baidjan province. After having ravag.
ell that country, especially Tauris, the
capital, it then went south and south
east following the Dor lers of the
Caspian sea, and it is said to have ap.
peared at Cashin, which is only twenty.
two leagues from Teheran. 1t is not
probable the cholera will visit Europe
this time.

Numbcrless symptoms of the prevalence

OF the widespread feeling in favor of an.

War When a man who has filled so
important position in the government,

Destiny Of the United States.

More than thirty years ago, an En-
glish writer Of distinction, Mr.. M'CIar
en-, ventured 10 speak of the advanta
ges AMI destinies Of the United States
in supplement to that valuable work
the Encyclopedia Britannica. We ex
tract the passage as follows merely o. |
ding that tho italicsed sentence towarl
the close is really remarkable. Al
though harlly more than a quarter of Z
century has elapsc since, The langua {
which was then Gsurative has now be
come literally true.
"The people in the United State.
fni themselves in con ltion to devote
their whole energies to the cultivation
Of their vast natural resources; undis
tracted by wars. unburIenel by oppres
sivc taxes, unIetterel by old preju Ices
and corrup,ions. Enjoying the uni,el
advantages Of an infant and mature
society, they are able to apply the high
Iy refine science and art Of Europe
to the improvement Of the virgin soil
and unoccupiel natural richness o
America. They start unencumbered by
a thousand evils, political and moral
which weigh down the energies of the
oil world. The volume Of our history
lies before them, they may adopt our
improvement, avoid our errors, take
warning from our sufferings; and, with
the combined lights Of our experience
and their own, build up more perfec,
form of society! Even already they
have given some momentous, and some
salutary truths 10 the world. 1t is their
rapid growth which has developed the
astonishing results Of the productive
po vers Of population. We can now
calculate with considerable certainty.
that America, which yet presents to the
eye generally, the aspect Of an unlroJ.
den forest; will in the short space Of one
century surpass Europe in the number
ofits inhabitants! We even hazard lit.
tie in predicting that before the tile
Of civilization has rolled back to its
original seats, Assyria, Persia AMI Pal.
es,ine, an intelligent population Of two
or three hundred millions will have
overspread the new world, and extend
the empire of knowledge and Of the arts
from Cape Horn to Alaska. Among
the vast mass Of civilized mon, there will
be but two languages spoken. The ei.
feet Of this single circumstancein accel.
Grating the progress Of society, can
scarcely be calculate. What field
will then be opened to the man Of sci.
enccss, the artist, the popular writer who
addresses hundred :.,illions Of educated
persons. What a stimulus gipen to
metrical energy and social improvement
when every 'se,o idea, and ecery useful
discovery soiH be communicated instan
ta,.eously to 50 great a mass Of imtellec'
tual beings, ly the electric agency Of the
post and press' Imagination is lost in
attempting to estimate the effect Of such
accumulated C means and powers. One
result, however, may be anticipated
America must then become the centre Of
knowledge, civilization and power!
