been noticed by us. Read his quotations from
Free Press:
sIn Cholera times an attack Of DiaryAeG
should be regarded as an attack Of Cholera
etc. Not that all diarrhea is Cholera but ALI
CHOLERA commences Nth diarrhed, etc."
here the doctor was struck dumb and could
not insert .tcur words more to complete the
sentenee,-those four words were-"WITH
BUT FEW EXCEPTIONS" See Free Press
August I'd.
Here we beg to insert an extract from DIR.
Cartwright himself. He says:
"The symptoms vary in different places and
often in the same family-some have cramps
others not. Most Of the cases commence by
diarrhed, and few by vomiting and diaiThed
at the same time; some rapid in their progress.
others slow. In general there is no feeling of
indispoSition when the diarrhea begins"
Again, he says;
"They die from trifing with the diarrhea,
believing it is only premonijo1y symptom"
Now hear DR.. Ramsey. "What does DIR.
Cartwright say? wish his letter could be read
by every one. In very plain terms, in language
as free as Cartwright employs, East TennesSean
as he is-he distinctly denies the language of
the editorial that all cholera COMMENCES wah
diarrAeq"- Here again his pen fell from his
hand-refused the command of justice and could
not trace those four short words-"WiM bit feW
exceptions" Now, he could have had the
candor after making two trials to insert those
four short words, he could not possibly have
made US say that ''aH cholera commences with
diarrhGa."
But the labor Of his Circular seems to be to
mist;fy, and evade the true issue; and had he
quoted more frankly our editorial is not so in
consistent although it was inserted "by the side
of DR.. Cartwrights letter. As to his insinua-
tons with regard to "premonitory," symptoms
and dispensing with vegetables" we deem
them extrew ely vegetable" 1t is known to
our readers that during severe attack of diar
rhoa about 9Th July, at orr request and solicit
tdtiOR, q gentleman wrote some 10 or 90 lines
the amount necessary to fill oat the paper At
that time when the people were eating almost
live on "good and lchoyesome vegetables, and
aroid crosses of all kinds Last week we
remarked "the citizens have become more pru-
dent and eat less of what might be called veg
etable dispensables than they were wont to be-
fore they could be made believe that even
malignant cholera morbus was among tbem.-
In this the doctor thought he saw Continued
inconsistencies"
1t is due ourselves and the gentleman who
wrote the article during our sickness, that we in
form DR.. Ramsey the gentleman has no more
to do with what appears in this paper than he
has. And we spurn the insinuation.

Stick TO SOME ONE PUEsUIT.-Thcre can
not be greater error than to be frequently
changing ones business. Ifany man will look
around and notice who have got rich and who
have not out of those he started in life with, he
will fad that the successful have generally stuck
to some one pursuit
Two lawyers, for example, begin to practice
at the same time. One devotes his whole
mind to his profession; lays in slowly stock of
legal learning, and waits patiently, it may be
for years, till he gains an opportunity to show
his superiority. The other, firing of such slow
work, dashes into politics. Generally, at the
end of twenty years, the latter will not be worth
penny, while the former will have handsome
practice, and can count his tens of thousands
in bank stock or mortgages.
Two clerks from majority almost simulta-
neously. One remains with his former employ
ers or at least in the same line of trade, at first
on a small salary, then on a larger, until finally
if he is meritorious, he is taken into partner
ship. The other thinks it beneath him to Gil
subordinate position, now that he is a man and
accordingly starts in some other business on his
own account, or undertakes, new firm in the
old line of trade. Where does he end? Often
in insolvency, rarely in riches. To this every
merchant can testify.
young man is bred mechanic. He &C.
quires distaste for his trade, however, thinks 1t
is tedious way to go ahead, and setsout for the
West or for California. But, in mast cases, the.
same restless, Discontinued, and speculative
spirit, which carried him away at first, renders
continuous application at any one place irksome
to him; and so he goes wandering about the
world, a sort Of semiciviized Arab, really a
vagrant in character, and sure to die iusolvent.
Meantime his fellow apprentice, who has stayed
at home, practicing economy and working
steadily at his trade, has grown comfortable iu-
his circumstances, and is even perhaps a citizen.
of mark.
There are men of ability in every walk of life
who are notorious for never getting along. I'm
usually it is because they never stick to any one
business. Just when they have mastered one
/ pursuit, and are on the point of making money,
they change it for another, which they do not
understand; and in little while, what little
they are worth is lost forever. We know scores
of such persons. Go where you will, you Will
generally find that the men who have failed IN
life are those who never stuck to one thing
long. On the other hand, your prosperous man
nine times out of ten, has always sick TO one
pursuit. Phila. Logger.

Affairs in Cuba.

The following statement by gentleman
passenger in the bark William Henry, just ar
rived from Havana, which we find in the n.
Y. Express, does not afford very fattering
picture of things there. We have no reason to
believe that what is stated may not all be relied
upon as authentic:
1.-THE Captain General is still pushing on his
favorite scheme of forming regiments of'black
troops Every vagabond negro who presents
himself is enlisted, and from that moment he IS
an important parsonage, as he has privileges
which are not conceded to any private indvid.
ual He is allowed to wear his Slde-armS, and
insult both women and men with impunlty.--
No private individual can defend himself as
he must take care how he lays his hand upon
ony one who wears the insignia of Her Majesty.
No measure which has hitherto been adopt
ed by the government has caused so much DIS
satisfaction among the whole population both
European and Creole, as this and it is one,
which, if PERSISTED in, will completely destroy the
connecting link between this and the mother
country. Any one who is acquainted in Havana,
and has been there within the last SIX months,
cannot but observe the change of feeling among
the old Spaniards 1t is doubtful whether the
Island was ever worse governed than at this
moment; at any rate, never since the time OF
ODonnell. 1t has never had man at lis head
who has been capable of inhcting such and
so many tortures upon the inhabitant, who has
filled his pockets more rapidly with ill-gotte n
gains arising from the slave traffic, as the pres
ent Captain General. Between three and four
thousand negroes are said to have been landed
within the jurisdiction of Havana, within the
last four months, but which have been placed
