SrKAMIR NoMrNEE.-This fine boat arrived at
the levee on Sunday evening. We learn from Mr..
Brooks, the gentemanly Clerk, tina, hundred and
thirty cabin and fifty deck passengers came in her on
their way TO Saint Paul and to the various towns on
the Mississippi River. In addition to the passed.
gers she brought enormous quantity Of freight,
probably the winter stores Of our merchants. With
no intention Of being invidious, cannot withhold
our commentator Of the manner in which this boat
is conducted. Under the wa.chfai guidance Of Capt.
ergetc, business mate, and his careful engineers the
Nominee receives, she justly deserves, the lauda-

the walters, to administer the wants of the pas
sensers. The taste-y Stewart provides excellent

Of her worthy officers.
S. Invalids in search Of health, will find the eli

and we venture to affirm they will never leave it.
| ELEcTIoN DAY.--Al sorts of vehicles were bro't
into requistion election day, many Of which were
adorned with flags and other signs of excitement
al to the occasion. The weather exceedingly
fine giving both parties excellent Opportunity TO
show their strength, and from the figures in another
column, should Judge they had improved it. Bands
of musicians mounted upon the several stages,
probably for the purpose of charming voters to the
polls, and if the continued beat of the drum an
index of success, they must have been highly sue
cessful. 1t empha,icaly drumming operation.

Encourge education, for is the basis Of repub-
lican government. Every school house should be
built and adorned with az much care as a beauluI
flower garden, for within its walls reared those

men;s against the inroads Of those evils which lead
to despotism.

correspondent from New Orleans, who appears to
understand the nature of the terrible epidemic ,hus
graphically pictures it forth
"The strong sinewed man sleeps at night reveIling
in beautiful dreams. hut he awakes in the morn,
all the fires Of volcano seemed concentrated in his
burning brain. His face grows haggard with its in.
tense suffering. His eyes revolve their orbits with
2laring vivacy. Yellow r,rcaks overspread bis
features in moment, il dashed there by coarse
brush dipped in gall. Sharp pangs trembe in his
marrow. His blood throbs like lightning, as hot and
quick in every bursting vein. and then whirlwind
OF the widest delirum wraps his soul 10 dreams Of
TIRE. Oh! tas Is the Ysiloso Fsrc.
