CT The physicians Of New York have recently
held meeting for the purpose of discussing thu
Cholera question:
The resulting sum of the discussion seemed to be
this That the Cholera begins with painless d.
arrIlro, which is easily cured. But if neglected,
it ends in the true Cholera symptoms, which are
exceedingly dangerous. That any impropricty Of
diet, or habits, any over-exertOn or uncommon
exposure is likely to produce it. That for its
cure, gentle tonic laxatives in the first stages,
calomel moderately, and opium and camphor
largely, mustard poultces, hot air baths, gentle
frictions and absolute rest are the best. By Sab
sOlute rest . they that the patient shall be

OR FRIENDS-NHO ARE RESPONSIBLE!
The former AMI ne re friends Of Minnesota nc'p
v,t'a for to- repeal q IN Hl.. - 1 '"N'.
This is III, doctrine We have advocated from the
s,s,, ami vet Citizen" in The Minnesotian is so
extremely dull tha, h couldn't understand, and
for au .ht we know. cannot now, how this can be.
For tho purpose of furnishing him more Eight"
on the subject, rs he appears 10 be cropping in
darkness copy the following remarks of Mr..
Craige on the repeal of The Minnesota Land Bill,
siv.n4 his reasons for voting in the Affirmative.
That gentleman said;
'.lS okpFa THAT VIZ MAY vINDicATE OR OWN
HoNcR AND pLACE TIE MATTER WHERE II WAS BE-
roSE TIE FALsIFIcATIOT Oh TIE RECORD TOOK
rLAcE, | DESIRE TO HAVE DIRECT VOTE uFoN THE
QUESTION OF REPEALING THIS BILL, TRCs INDIRECTLY
CASTING CENSURE UPON THOSE WHO REALLY
DID PERPETRATE THE FRAUD"
Now what doee this argue? Why that tho
friends of the bill voted for its repeal to punish
those who committed tho fraud, and not the peo-
pie of Minnesota, consequently it is all folly to
cay that those gentlemen who voted for the bill in
its original form and voted for its repeal in its
offered form, are enemies Of Minnesota They
Certainly were friends OF Minnesota when they
gave us tho grant of land for railroad purposes,
and if Minnesota is not guilty Of tho fraud and
docs net uphold those who are guilty, then there
is no rcason why she should not retain the friend
ship Of her former friends, and those too, who at
proper time, will show us that they have been
and are now tho defenders of our territory.
But the remarks Of Mr.. Craigo have another
construction, viz:-that the repeal Of the bill is
wholly attributable to tho fraud, and the Object
Of the bill was TO ''cast censure upon those scho
perpctrcted the fraud" Let US now inquire CT
The Minnesotian if the people are responible for
the repeal of the bill? -f the presses are respon-
Glble?-if those who sought to expose the fraud
are responsible? The matter is so perfectly
plain that it is useless to waste words on the sub
ect, and if ii were not the object of the Miuneso-
tian to defend those who arc now leaguod in with
the Wall street Company, it would come out bold
" and denounce AL who had anything to do with
the alteration Of the bill, for those persons and
their advisers and defenders are the ones and the
only ones upon whom the responsibility Of its de-
feat rests. We do not envy, Mr.. "SenioT,'
vour uaenyiable position.

cY We call attention to the letter of Rev. S.
r. Riggs, in to days paper. Perhaps one in
the North-west is so well acquainted with the In
dian character, as Mr.. r. and his suggestions are
therefore entitled to due consideration. As we
remarked in previous issue, the Indian posses
ses an inherent love of murder, and all efforts to
subdue this spirit, have proved of no avail. The
late warfare illustrates the Indian character. We
agree with Mr.. Riggs that something should be
done by our Government to prevent recurrence
of such brutal scenes as he describes, but what
course to pursue is question we leave for others
to answer. We presume the Executive of this
Territory has done and will continue to do all
that lies in his power to preserve peace and har-
mony among the various Indians tribes in GU,
borders, but if his efforts are not sufficient, re-
course should be made to the General Govern
ment. -..o

unusual degree of heat; for a whole week the

ninety degrees, producing temperature that ma

the hottest spell, a negro man engaged in loading
a barge with ice for the up-country, conceived the
idea Of having at least one cool Fiesta. He ac-
cording stretched himself upon one of the huge
blocks Of ice, which were thinly covered with saw
dust, and soon fell into profound sleep. How
the icy GOODNESS gradually diffused itself through
his system, and crept into his very marrow Re
could not tell, but when discovered he was found
to be quite stifay frozen. By the use Of prompt
measures, he was in time thoroughly thawcd, and
was ready next day for his usual routine Of
