Cholera In Richmond.

1t is q settled fact that the Cholera has
made its appearance in Richmond, and is
daily carrying of a moderate number Of
persons. The cases are principally confin-
ed to the dissipated in habit aud the care
less in diet. The Dispatch counsels care
fulness in edibles, aid says it has the opin-
ion Of two eminent physicians that cucum-
beers and green corn are poisonous to the
system, and should not be eaten. A great
many exaggerated reports reach Staunton
as to the extent Of Cholera in Richmond.
The news was in almost every ones mouth
the other day, that 40 deaths had occurred
in Richmond. from this disease, on Tues
day last, which must have been tabrica-
ton. 1t doesn't require OH tie Railroad,
as John Mitchell said OF The Telegraph, for
lie to be started as such to come out lie;
il is manufactured as the cars progress, and
in proportion to the distance travelled, il
increases in enormity.

Curious Relic.

We were shown the other day singular
formation Of rock, which was found in Po-
cahcntas county, few weeks since, by
the workmen on turnpike. There is q
round rock Of sandstone formation. which
seems to have been cast in slate stone
mould, and hardened by the actioa Of fire.
The ball weighs four and hall pounds, Is
perfectly smooth, and fits closely in the
mould. The mould, when it was found
covered the ball entirely, but the top Of it
was accidentally broken. Mr.. Pidgeon,
who is the author Of very interesting
work on Indian Mounds. and who has this
stone in his possession, thinks it is relic
Of the mound builders, and that the ball
was intended for slung shot. He intends
sending 1t to the Smithsonian Institute.

An Excellent Move.

MIR. Letcher, Of Virginia, deserves great
credit for the resolution be has offered in
the House Of Representatives for an inves-
tigation BY committee Of that body into
certain charges connected with the lobby
and the bill for the extension Of Colts PTS
tol patent for seven years. If there is rank
corruption in the House, as we little doubt
if the votes of members, as Mr.. Venable
once charged, are marketable commodity
in Washington--John Letcher is Just the
man 10 ferret out the fraud and with an
iron grasp, to drag the corrupt miscreants
to the light Of day, and show them up till
Christendom holds its nose at the stencil Of
their infamy. John Letcher, in his stern
honesty and Spartan courage, is worthy
the best days Of Virginia. He has been
thorn in the side Of Congressional rogues
and robbers ever since he has been IN
Washington. Heaven speed him.--Rich-
mond Dispatch.

he can prove, there has been bribery and

The I2th District.

The contest in this District seems to be
waxing warm. There is violent oppo-
sition in some quarters to the claims Of C.
s. Lewis, Esq, Of Clarksburg. II the O.
pinion Of an outsider. who is somewhat &C.
quainted either personally. or by direct re-
presentation, with all Of the candidates, is
worth anything. we will give ours. And
il is. that Mr.. Lewis should be the choice
Of the Convention which will assemble on
the Oath. In the first place, we believe
him to be the most available, and in the
second, he would make working member
of Congress. He is one Of the most inde-
fatigable aud untiring legislators. who ever
served in the Legislative halls Of this State
Having risen from comparative obscurlty
by the force Of his inherent energy and ta-
lent. it would afford US pleasure to chroni-
Gle his elevation to seat in Congress. Mr..
L. served his time as an apprentice to the
tailoring business. While OH the bench, he
was an ardent student. He stnd,ed law and

position he served until 1852, when he

Foreign Newa.

The latest intelligence from the seat of
war, is that Russia, had concluded to evac-
uate the principalities, and that Austria
was marching 100000 men to occupy
them in order to preserve Peace. The
motives which have Influenced this action
Of the Gar do not seem to be understood
Some Of the press think 1t is merely aruse
to obtain time to recover the backset re-
ceived a Silistria. Certain it is, that it is
an unaccountable move, because no one
thinks the Gear intends to succomb without
a further struggle, to the combination that
has been formed against him.
The entire Anglo French force at Varna
was preparing for an expedition into
Crimea, under St. Arnaud.
The whole Russian army Of occupation
was falling back in good order beyond the
Pruth.
The Turkish garrison was already OH
the march to Crimea. The Car of Rus
STA was also on his way thither.
Admiral Napier, on the 9th of June,
was concentrating his whole force prepar-
atory to attacking Cronstadt.
Beth armies in Asia remained motion
less.
The Cars official reply to Austria had
not arrived. The Austrians will certainly
occupy the Principalities. The scene Of
battles seems changing to the Crimea.
The price Of Breadstuffs remained sta
tionary.

The Treaty with Japan,

This treaty, it is stated, provides for the
commencement Of trade between the Uni
ted States and the two ports of Japan Oh
the 18th Of March next, one year from the
day il was signed. The Honolulu Friend
says:
The treaty is in four languages, English,
Japanese; Dutch ard Chinese, and written
on the paper OF the country. which is SIM
liar to that used in China, and is signed
by four Princes Of larges provinces in the
kingdom. The dignitaries who were
present during the negotiations were meh
Of education and refinement of manner,
conducting themselves with marked digni-
ty and propnety.
On the part Of the japanese commission
ers it was at first much insisted upon, that
the u. S. government should allow trea-
ty STIMULATING that no American lady should
ever visit Japan So preposterous a de-
mand was not counteuanced, for moment
by the gallant Commodore Perry.
The officers of the Saratoga" repor.
that they saw no cattle, no sheep. no goats,
no swine, but very good horses. They
saw growing, crops OF wheat, rice, oats,
barley, millet and tobacco. The land vas
was well cultivated The japanese have
a very good pillow ~ tanning machine
They exhibited vel beautiful fire arms Of
their own manufacture, having Notch
locks. Percussion muskets were also plen-
tiful, and many other articles obtained
through their limited trade with the
Dutch.
A letter from on board one of the vessels
OF the expedition, says:
A treaty of commerce. and an establish
ed tariff, will be negotiated shortly; and
everything is in fair training to crown all
or efforts with success. The squadron
remains upon the coast for some three
months longer, to survey the haroors and
make final arrangements, after which we
return 10 China.
