Correspondence Of the Palladium.


NEw YoRK, Oct. 20, 1854.
In the mids, OF an exciting political
canvass the city has been startled by the
announcement and almost Simultaneous
decease of several of our prominent
merchants, professional men, and other
residents, by diselse resembling the
cholera. As iii each instance the attack
occurred Immediately after the party had
partaken Of lunch or supper of oysters,
and the symptoms were alike in all cases,
it is the universal belief that some pois-
onous property in the shell fish was the
cause of the mAlady. The supposition is
confirmed by information from Baltimore,
where the ysters and crabs Of the Ches-
apeake seem 10 have produced similar ef-
iects. Among the citizens who have fall
len victims to this strange disorder, are
Edwin Williams, an eminent statistician
and forcible newspaper writer; James
Foster, jr., Esq, wealthy shipping mer-
chant, formerly principal proprietor OF the
old dramatic line" Of New York and
Liverpool packet ships, embracing the
"Sheridian, "Garrick, 4" ''Rosicius," and
the "Siddons,") and better known in the
fashionable world as "Count Foster" the
musical diilsttants; John II. Cornell, Esq,
cashier of the Mechanics banking asso-
citation, a most estimable man; Robert
Smith, Esq, formerly alderman of the
Fifth ward, and M. II. Davidson, a re-
spectacle member of the New York bar.
There has also been two deaths IN Orange
county, IN consequence Of eating oysters,
and many persons in the city of Brooklyn,
Williamsburg and Hoboken have suffered
severely from cramps and cholera morbus,
superinduced by the same cause. An the
parties whose names / have mentioned,
were alive and well six days ago. Most
Of them were elderly men, their ages
ranging from fifty to sixty. Mr.. Cornell,
| think, was in his fftY-sixth year, and
Mr.. Foster about the same ege.
Something akin to panic mas, as you
may suppose, been created by this sad
visitation. Oysters are prescribed, and
the large and profitable city trade.in these
articles is literally brought to a standstill

A crAPrEa ON FEMALES.

We like TO look upon a healthy womnrj
she is O prodigy in the nineteenth century.
Wherever you go you see scores and hun
dreds of spleeny, sickly, feeble girls, who
can hardly muster courage 70 make their
beds, wash their faces, or drive an iutrud-
ing COW from the yard. Tell hem about
early rising, fresh air and hoaitly cxor-
else; and dey have a sigh as long as the
moral law, and are ready TO faint away.
You expect them to get up before day
10 work in the kitchen-to breathe the
fresh air Of the morning Preposterous
and absurd They have never seen the
sun rise, unl would hardly know but the
sun continues 10 shine forever, if it We're
rot for he aman5ts and their grandmoth-
ors. No wonder every year sweeps u
fihe grave SO many young womsn who
have been sickly and ehcminale ever since
they were born into the world and death
will continue 10 select them as his victims
till they learn their duty, and pursue that
course which iRsures health, strength and
long life. Our great grand parents lived
to u great age--and never thought Of lying
down 70 die, till they had, at least reached
the meridian Of life. They were strong,
happy, and hearty. Why? They rose
early, worked like beavers, and never
spent the midnight hours in dancing.
Instead Of being frightened at a mouse
at their feet; beetle on their necks, a fly rs
foot on their arm, in the absence Of their
fathers and husbands, they would load
their guns and shoot bears and cutamounts,
and keep at bay party Of savages. How
have their daughters degenerated? What
female is there nowadays who wouln't
run from gun, even if it had 10 lock.
The ladies' OF the olden times out-lived
their husbands years and years. How is
it now? Widows are few and far be-
tween. 1t was no singular thing for our
grandmothers to have three or four hus-
bands in the course of their lives. Now
1t is the reverse. Men have about so ma
nv wives-diseases Of late have been so
fatal among the female sex. Do you know
the cause? 1t is found in listless ideness,
inactivity, late hours, thin shoes, muslin
dresses, horror Of fresh morning air,
and IN that dctestable stuff, stitched in
plnl; and yellow covers, which is flooding
our country. If they will do nothing
else, young ladies will sit and read from
morning till night, that sickly, sentimen-
tai. impure, and licentiou5 trash that is
thrown in such abundance from the press.
This shrivels the mind, warps the aifec-
tions, chills the better feelings, and makes
the life wretched beyond description
Let females look into this subject, and act
like reasonable beings, and we should see
quite different state of things. We
should hear Of no fuinting away, no sick
ly consumption, no affection of lungs, no
suicides.

The following is given, as the conclud-
ing ''charge" upon the initiation Of new
member of this fraternity;
"The order which has now received
you as member, may, with all propriety,
be considered secret organization. ltis
so secret, in fact, that if you were placed
before a legal TRIBUNAL, and there sworn
10 tell the truth. the whole truth, and moth
ing but the truth, you could not, for your
lie, reveal the name, or objects, or the
secrets of that band Of brothers, among
whom, your name now stands enrolled;
and further than this, when you retire
from this meeting, you must return 10
your family and friends as ignorant as
when YOU came, so far as the name Of this
order is concerned. In common with our
selves, you 'know nothing, and let it be
your stern resolution through lie TO
know nothing"
The high and exalted duties which
you owe to Your God, your country and
to yourselves, for the purpose Of the pre-
servation Of American liberty, require
that you should observe the oath which
you have this night taken, abovs all other
obligations. For the laws Of ~ land are
Of higher Importance 10 yourselves and
your children, than is that obligation,
which you have just taken, to preserve
American institutions by the entire and
absolute exclusions Of all foreigners, and
Of all who are not pro.estants, from con-
troll or uarticinatioD In the affairs OF YOUR
country"

nothing can arrest its amplest develop

It cannot last. Society intends to have first

suPPoRr Youn LOcAL PAPER.

TAs local press is elnphatically the rep
resentative and the exponent Of the local
interests, wants and wishes Of each com
nuDity, and on It's energy and wathful-
ness, the community rely. Each com
munity should first see that its local press
is put upon a firm and substantial footing
which can only be done, by a steady and
liberal patronage.
II each member Of a community would
come a paying subscriber to the paper OF
his own town and county, six months
would not elapse, before the enlargement
and improvements which would take
place in our papers, which would enable
each person to dispense with one or more
Northern papers, without finding his fac
ul,es for intelligence in the least dinin-
ished.
A people commit no greater error, than
that of permitting their local press to
langulsh, by reason of an inadequate sup
port. Never say your country paper is
small and not worth taking; give it the
support to which it is entitled, and il viii
be Immediately enlarged and improved SO

of a community in which it is located
We believe that publishers are generally
liberal in responding to a liberal patronage
by the improvement their papers, as
appreciation of such liDerality.
If a man is abe 70 take but one paper,
that should be the one published nearest
to his place Of residence, and the mex
