Incidents Of The Cholera at Barbadoo.

Incidents of the Cholera at Barbadoo5.
The New Haven Journal publishes the follow
ing extract from letter written by gentleman
IN Barbados to his friend in that city respecting
the rayages of the cholera on that Island:
"God forbid that you should ever witness what
we have experienced since your departure The
deaths were so numerous al one time that vehicles
of all kinds We're used to convey corpses The
horse carts, as they are called That stand lor hire
in the squares, Were very generally used Six
eight have seen nine cotiins iu one cart and
they were 50 badly constructed. that in passing
over the cutters or water courses, thev would
literally fall to pieces. and the driver. who was
provided for the occasion. would stop and nail un
tae collins in the street to prevent the bodies from
falling out. Many, verv many. were carried to
the grave IN hand carls many on the peoples
heads; and am told that the demand was so
very great for cotigs. that many persons. partcu-
lary children, Were carried by their parents
merely wrapped IN tarred sheets.
You may have Leari of the Dead Cart"
have seen title first time was one evening in
the bay. 4 gentleman and myself We're Walking
up TO the garrison. Just as we came up 10 it, it
had stopped opposite one OF those alleys leading
10 the beach. the driver, hdeous looking negro
looking down the alley, shouted out-"Jot auy
down theref" The negroes Were afraid TO touch
dead body, even of their relations. and too fire.
queutiy the drivers had to attach a rope to the
CONN., ana dfaS lU INTO the cart the best way they
could. From an early age, was taught set-re-
lance, and have always endeavored to look things
straight in the face bGt must confess that never
before experienced 50 much difficulty in doing it.
Up to this time. | believe we have lost from
cholera. some $4,000. oTone-eiebth OF the popula-
ton, and even now. | believe the deaths through
out the Island average fully 100 per day | never
heard OF the cholera proving fatal so quick as it
has here. Just imagine man apparently in per-
feet health-at any rate walking about-and not
complaining at P. li., and get he shall be in his
grave at z. Nj, in five short hours; and believe
there have been many such cases.

Fortunately, the Cora and the Frank Lyon

within sight of the smoke of the burning boat
but when she arrived at the scene of the disaster
no part OF the unfortunate steamer was to be
seen; the wreck had sunk completely out OF sight
As far as we have been able t. ascertain. there
were some fifteen lives lost. Under the circum-

number was sacrificed, and we await the details
with fear and anxiety.
Doubtless the scene was one of great confusion.

The Joint Worm Convention.

We are indebted to friend in Warrenton for
the following account of the proceedings Of the
Joint Worm Convention in Warrenton, Va, ON
Wednesday last:
The Convention organizee by the appoint
ment of james X. Marshall, Esq, President,
aud X. n. Nolan, Esq, Of Albemurlc Secretary.
There was not very numerous attendance.-
The counties of Fairfax, Prince William, Rap
pahannock, Culpeppcr and Albemarlc, however,
were represented, with very respectable num-
Der from FauqUier.
After some interesting remarks upon the IN
turo AMI history Of the Joint Worm, from Mess
RS. John Hill Carter an Il. n. holland, DR.
Peyton and others, Il committee of II was np-
pointed To prepare resolutions expressive of the
views of the Convention, with regard 10 the lh.
iect for which they had assembled. aud report at
3 o'clock =. NJ. After some remarks upon the
guano monopoly from Col Winter Payne aud 9th.
ers' the Convention adjourned to meet again at
; o'clock.
In the evening session, while the committee of
II were engaged in making their report, Col
Payne again introduced the guano question, and
and on his motion, IA committee of five was np-
pointed TO prepare memorable the treaty max
ing authorities of our Government, with view
to some action on their part in the way of hold
ing out inducements to the Peruyians to reduce
the Price OF this all important article.
The committee then reported IA series of reso-
buttons, strongly recommending early sowing
guauo and other means calculated 10 push for
ward thu. growth of the wheat fast rs possible,
and above all universal destruction of all the
stubbc by fire, in the latter part of winter or early
in the spring, as we'll as every particle of straw
remaining 0nconsomed by the stock. To pro.
cure 4 concert of action throughout the infected
district, measures were also taken to secure the
appointment of committees of gentleman in all the
magstera districts of each county, whose duty
it will he 10 every effort to induce the farmers
in their respective neighhorhoods to make use of
the means recommended by the Convention. The
motion to this effect was made by Mr.. J. Hill
! Carter, and after IT passed, the convention hav-
ing resolved TO publish their proceedings in the
Warrenton and Alexandria papers, adjourned
sine die.
A great deal of interest was manifested by the
members generally, aud determination faithfully
to do whatever could be done for the extirpation
of the plaguo."-4ier Caste.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE VIRGINIAN.
PnILAprLpnIh July 18th, Is.

PnnApELPnIh July 18th, 1854.
In compliance with my promise, send you an
outline of the few events of interest which have
occurred mere lately. And first the matters of
the greatest local interest to as are the extreme
heat of the weather and the cholera. The latter
is steadily on the increase. The last weeks bills
of mortality foot up 80 deaths from Cholera in
this city, and 40 in New York whilst the ac-
counts from other parts of the country show that
it is making rapid progress.
Political affairs are mt a stand still The aspi-
rants to Office and public favour are, at present
bocalmed-wth their sails hoisted waiting to
take advantage of any breeze that may spring up.
Tho excitement incident to our municipal cleo
ton has somewhat sub sided but the success
which has crowned the american movement has
stimulated that party to further efforts. They
now talk of either running candidate for the
Presidency, or else TO exact pledges from the
different candidates to support and carry out
their views. The movement far has been
principal yacarled on by persons holding wing
principles; and as the time has now nearly ar
rived for them to be casting about for eandi-
date for the presidency, their attention has been
drawn by some recent speeches and votes to the
Hon. John NJ. Clayton, of Delaware. He has
not, as yet,eonmtted himself fully to their views,
but he evidently sympathses with them in many
of their principles. He is a man of undoubted
fitness and capacity, and stands perhaps higher
in point of experience as statesman, than any
one in the wing ranks He is conservative and
moderate in his views of the many exciting ques-
tons which now agiate the public mind and
would, no doubt, command the full confidence of
his party.
business is las usual at this time of the year,
extremely dull. But few persons, comparatively,
have left the city for the watering places. SIS
week board, and money l. per cent month
have powerful effect in rendering people domes-
tic.
In spite of the hard times, we have just com
pleted the subscription towards building large
and elegant Opera House. 1t is intended to seat
at least 5000 persons. so rs to bring the luxury
of music within the reach of all.
The prospect for the fall BUSINESSES thought to
e encouraging, although the cotton states are
not in a very heating conditiun-commcrciallyo or
| ply scally. Excuse the hrevity of this hasty
note, and will endeaycr to do better next time.
