CHOLERA AND YELLOW FEvERSS CURA.-
The ravagcs from cholera and yellow fever in
tie interior of Cuba are as bad as in New Or

AWFUL R.vAGEs OF CHOLERA IN EUROPE.
The Asiatic cholera, we see by our Europe
au files, is making rapid progress westward,
dealing death on every side, and in some pla.
ces creating the utmost CONSERVATION and dis.
may. It's march, on this occasion, has been
from Persia direct, and the last accounts left
it a, Copenhagen. whence come to US the most
melancholy reports. As many as thirty thou
sand of the Inhabitants stated 10 have fled
from the city. Tee frequent passengers in the
streets are the carpenters people carrying
home the collins; onnibusscs convey full loads
of corpses to the burying grounds. where hands
are insufficient to dig the graves, and clergy
are wanting to read the burial service. On
Sundly 10 colins were lying in the church
yard exposed to the broiling sun, and had lain
there since the Thursday previous.
Some cases of cholera have made their ap-
pearance at Flensburg and Sandcrburg, and
also in Denmark, but the persons attacked had
either come from Copenhagen, or been in con
tact with such persons.
The st. Petersburg journals state that the
cholera is at preseDt raging in the new govern.
ments of Kew and Tolyw, and that it has also
broke out in the great commercial town OF
Beryczew.

THE CHINESE IN CALIFoRNIA.-Ac According
to the San Francisco correspondent OF the st.
Louis lntelllyencer, the Chiuese population of
California afford an interesting subject of OBJ.
>ervation. Their appearance, dress and hab.
its, modes ollie, religion and government are
ST. wholly dssimilar To ours, and the world
has heretofore known so lutte of either, that
&hen any one has all opp"rlun ty TO observe
them narrowly, he feels that he is treading up
Oh comparatively new ground. The first i'm
preston made upon the mind in beholding a
crowd of Chinamen, is that they are IN eXoee
dne >impIe.miudcd, cheerful. contented and
harmless race. They chatter away with vol
ubiliy truly marvellous, and apparently are
iu of fun and good humor. Their preIomi.
uant vice appears to be a love OF paming, and
have almost Il countless number Of gambling
houses scattered through the city, which are
are generally crowded toexcess, particularly at
night. They do not use cards or any of our
gaming devices; but simply small pieces Of
brass about as large as dime, with a hole
through the ceutre. The banker, or dealer,
takes up Il double handful of these and throws
them upon the table, and the bets it appears,
are upon the fact whether tie pile consists of
an odd or even number Very few of them
have the remotest idea of our system of laws
or governmet aud hence they adhere in a
great measure to their own.

I'VE are gratifed to learn that the fall busi-
ness Of this city is likely to be very large Con-
siderable quantities Of gooos are daily arriving,
and buyers from Alabama and Tennessee have
already, we understand, made their appearance
in the market. The city, to use the phrase of
one of our leading medical practitioners, being
alarmingly healthy" no one need fear coming

crossed an enterprising little paper, published
in some obscure village, which the severest et-
fart of memory is not now able to recall, whose

jnyed the profits of law on the subject By
the efforts Of DR.. J. Mauran, of Providence,
that law has lately been very much improved.
We believe that South Carolina is not yet
honorcd with any provision of the sort. We
know, Eoweve-, that the learned Chairman Of

that object. We trust that the Palmetto State

pioneer in the movement, and whose reports

F1EHDisu OuTaAcE-A LITTLE Boy DWowS-
ED.-A most fcndi~h outrage WAS perpeIratcd
on the North Branch, near the residence Of
Mr. El:ton, on Tuesday afternoon last. We
learn that party of boys, ranging from four
teen to eighteen years of age, are in the habit
of repairing almost daily to the vicinity where
they engage in Battling and in compelling or
inducing smaller boys to rob the neiyhb"ring
gardens Of vegetables and fruits. On Tues
day last, these young rutlians took little boy
with them, a son Of Mr.. Lutz, aged about ten
years, whom they tried to compcl to enter
Mr.. Elston's garden to steal fruit, This the
little fellow refused. They first tried threats,
and afterwards proceeded to plunge him into
the river, expecting that would overcome bis
repuyna,lce TO stealing. The brave little boy,
We are tod. refused as long As lie was able to
speak, mpIorug them at the SAME time not to
drown him. But the heartlcss wreches per-
sisted until lie WAS extinct, and then ran away,
leaving his body in the river. All Tuesday
night his agonized parents and few friends
were searching the river for him. Yesterday
morning they t""nd him floating in the river

charged with counterfeiting and altering bank

miles west of Schenectady, on Friday, managed
to get to the platform of the cars, and made leap
when the train going at the rate of thirty five
miles hour. The first intimation Of the escape
of the prisoner given to the officers by boy,
who saw him make the leap. He represents that
on reaching the ground he bounded from his feet,
made somerset, and then rolled down an en-
bankment. At the time he made the leap his feet
were bound together by iron shackles, and if he
escaped uninjured it can be written down as a
miracle. The were not stopped until the
train reached Schenectady, and arriving at that
place the officers retraced their steps and reached
the spot, but were unsuccessful in obtaining any
Glue as TO where the prisoner had gone. They ga W
foot tracks in the snow, and found the very spot
where be first touched ground, but there were no
of blood, and from this it is inferred that he
