PHILADELPHIA, Sept. IL, 1854
Of all jars, family jars are the worst On
Friday evening, the vicinity of Fifth and Mon
roe formerly PLUMP streets was thrown into a
state of excitement by the report of pistol
and considerable hubbub attending it. The
affair grew out of difficulty between a man
named William Devine and his wife, who had
some misunderstanding, during which he is
alleged to have struck her The wife's brother,
whose name is McGlenn, came to her assis
lance, and handled tho husband rather roughly,
Devine retreated and procured pistol. Nc
Glenn ran into an alley to hide himself, and
the other fired at him, but the shot took no
effect. Both were arrested and taken before
Alderman Moore, who held them to bail to
keep the peace.
All the Democratic candidates in this city
Tor State and county officers, including the four
candidates for Congress, have publicly de-
nounced, in the most unqualified terms, the
doctrines of Know Nothingism.

Under our tslsgrsphie head yesterday We
Published dsspssch from Columbia, Pa,
which gave most frightfal picture of the raw
ages Of the cholera in that devoted town. The
Baltimore Ameriean, Of this morning, contains
the following additional particulars: Z
"The train which left Columbia yesterday
afternoon, brought down four car loads Of the
citizens Of Columbia, with their families who
were fleeing from the scourge Most of them
stopped at York and at farm houses along the
road with their friends, whilst few came
down to Baltimore. The whole populace are
represented as completely panic stricken, and
we'll they may be when the almost uuprece-
dented virulence of the disease is taken into
consideration. A few hours sickness is rep
resented to have placed its victim beyond all
hope of recovery. s1 a -
"The disease first made its appearance on
thursday afternoon, two emigrants having
been taken out of q passing train, and soon
died with unmistakeable cholera symptoms.
On Friday afternoon q number of the citizens
were attacked, and at 10 O'Clock on Saturday
morning there had been 18 deaths. COM
mittee Of citizens immediately proceeded to
Fhlladelphia to procure experienced medical
aio, ana on Sunday morning returning with
Drs. B0dden, Spencer, and Thomas C. Bunting,
who have since their arrival been laboring in
cessantly with the sick and dying, and have
IN some measure checked the sudden ravages
OF the pestilence. They also discovered that
those portions of the town where well water is
drank altogether the dis ease had not appeared,
whilst those who drank the reservoir, or hydrant
water, were hourly being added to its victims.
This discovery lead to an analyzation Of the
reservoir water, which during the drought had
been hlled from the river, and it was found to
be not only unwholesome but actually poison.
GUS. This discovery, it is hoped, will tend to
check the further spread of the disease.
=" When it is taken into consideration that
Columbia has population of less than 5000,
more than one-third of whom have already
left tho city, the extent of the mortality Is al
NEST unprecedented in its virulence. There
IS large colored population in Columbia,
and the ravages Of the disease among them il
represented to be very great
