Mr.. HULsEMANN CONG HoME-1on, the
correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun, writing
from Washington on the 9th instant, says
There are those, it seems, who credit the
suggestion that Mr.. Hulsemann went to
Albany, the day after the publication of the
Koszta correspondence, for the express pur-
pose ofretraciing the demand Of Austria,
and begging Mr. Marcy to accept an ex-
PLANTATION, and to take Koszta back to his
domiciie in the United States. The rumor
is improbable and absurd. It's much more
likely that the Chevelier fastened to inform
Mr. Marcy that. under the terms Of his ms
tructions he was obliged Ito ask his pass
ports. The fact is that Austria must, at
length, acDde to the principles of republic
canism that the United States have SO long
and so well taught her, or Withdraw herself
from this republican school. We should be
sorry to lose Mr.. Hulsemann again, but we
may congratulate ourselves that he will
return TO Europe well instructed. in the
views of free governments. s, s..e >

From the FrcScnluS, tne ccleDTageQ herman

this circumstance does not present the least diff

water in the boiler must therefore be tested
from time to time. This is better and more ac-

FACTS ABOUT THE FEVER A few months ago
q merchant Of this city took to his home and
heart youthful bride, and went to reside in
the Fourth District. Wishing to live in privacy,
he engaged only one servant--a fresh green
girl, from the Emerald Isle She took thefever,
and in few days died. Another was hired
and shared the same fate A third and fourth
filled the vacancy in the household, and followed
in succession the sweeping summons of the same
fell destroyer Following the impulse of natu-
raj dread, the merchant went to Mobile to avoid
the destructive visitation of the scourge, and
the next day buried his young and beautiful
bride. Disguised with home where nought
but empty chambers served tocall up the memo
ries of departed joys, he returned to the city to
sell out his household, determined to leave a
locality to him so suggestive of sorrow. He
died the next day. When our informant visited
the premises, there was but one living creature
there. 1t was solitary parrot, swinging in its
lonely cage, and wailing unwittingly its deserted
state. Alas, poor Pol

The Epidemic.

By reference to our annexed statistical re-
norts it will be seen that for the past few
days the prevailing scourge has been sensibly
on the decrease This falling off in the mortal
ity is attributed not to any abatement in the
virulence of the disease, but to a diminution in
the numbers subject to it. Estimating our I'M
acclimated population at 10000, and the deaths
up 70 the present time at $500, which is probably
below the mark, and considering that many of
the interments reported doubtful were from
yellow fever cases and that the unreported
burials in Saint Patrick's cemetery for the last
week would exceed 200, the number of deaths
among those liable to the disease would reach
proportion very nearly approximating one
fourth.
S-t. readful mortality has no parallel in
history, and Defoe Cd Ainsworth, when they
tortured their i'm ,tions in painting the
,oenes incident to the plague. fell far short of
9 rca .ty which we every day witness
* scarcely in the nature of things that this
tsIl.ble scourge can continue much longer.
The infection has already been among us an un-
precedented length of time, and indeed the date
has scarcely arrived when in former years ii
had reached its acme of destructiyeness Con
sidering the fact that the material is nearly ex-
hausted, there is little to fear from an increase
in the number of deaths to be reported, The
individual cases that may occur may indeed be
more obstinate, and the mortality greater in
proportion to the persons attacked, but the
number of deaths must decrease in regular pro-
gression.
But we sicken with the contemplation Of a
subject SO often adverted to and so much on the
tongues of our stricken population, and submit
our statistical table, leaving our readers to draw
