AN EXPLANATION.

Immediately the death of Col. Dustin, we
inquired of his physicians Of what disease he died,
when we were Informed tn. 1t was Cholera. In
our article announcing his death we so stated the
disease, but a gentleman directly from the death
bed scene, calling into our Office, before our art-
Gle went to press, informed that the physicians
had altered their minds-that the disease was not
Cholera but Bilious Darrhea. We then changed
the word, at the gentleman's solicitation, suppO-
sing that he had ample authority for the informa-
ton given us, and thought nothing more of the
matter until the next morning, when meeting Drs.
Potts and Morton, we told them what we had
done, and much to our surprise they stated it was
without their authority-that Mr.. Dustin died of
the Cholera. What motive the gentleman had to
thus mslead US and misrepresent the physicians,
we cannot say. lie was doubtless actuated by no
bad motives, although in case like this we deem
truth more essentially necessary than expediency,
for truth itself is the most expedient method of
quieting the public mind.
In justice to ourself and the physicians we deem
this explanation necessary and in making it, we
simply place the matter before the public in the
light We originally intended it should be-that OF
truth.

listed our affections and commanded our conf
dence.

promising members.

The ADMIRAL.-The Admiral could not get up
yesterday, notwithstanding her freight was taken
from her. Most of the passengers came up by
land. We learn that other boats lie at or on the
bar, the low state of the water preventing them
from getting up. We must confess that this is a
bad state of affairs for st. Paul, but "what can't
be cured, must be endured" We are inclined to
think, however, that the difficulty in a measure
can be cured. Suppose large quantity of brush
and trees were thrown into the river at a certain
point-would it not be the means of driving the
water into a channel, and thereby enable the boats
to pass through? Something must be done, and
few hundred dollars expended now, may be the
means of saving twice that amount in the fall
Let meeting be called Immediately and some
measures be taken to obviate this difficulty. Ev-
cry citizen is interested, and every citizen should
contribute towards building wing-dam to give a
good body of water for the boats to pass through
We learn that the Admiral will not, or rather can
not reach our Levee, and will therefore leave from
where she now is for St. Louis to-day.
