the Panama Isthmus is from the first of March on
ward to the rainy season in autumn. The reason
of the mortality among passengers on the Pacific,
had ceased, was because, Immediately after the
rains cease, (say in December, and for foe or
oesks aftey) there ia more less disease in all
hot climates; the hot season following the rains,
and causing dangerous civilizations from the
earth. After that period, say from the middle Of
February or the beginning of March, the country
is healthy. The only wonder il that during an
unhealthy period, out of 30 many thousand passen-
gers, 30 few persisted where much imprudence
in living existed, among people too unused to
southern climates. Now is the safest period to
the Isthmus of Panama, and will be till au-

The death OF Mrs. FILLMORE gives the editor of
the Springfield Republican occasion for the follow

"And thus it is President PIERCE in the flush
OF trump and with his brilliant prospects before
him, had his child stricken from his side by sud
den blow, aud his heart, crushed and silent, felt
the utter bolowness of all worldly renown. Mr.
Fillmore, rejoicing in success and the prospect of
country's greetings and congratulations, and the
still sweeter prospect of honorable retirement from
public life, will follow to his old home the body of
the companion of his heart. Is there no lesson
here?" -.2a -
