BG-There is q general apprehension that the
cholera will again sweep over our country. 1t
has already made its appearance IN many towns
in the west, especially those on the rivers, and
it has also commenced its ravages in some Of
the large northern cities. Itcannot be doubted
that many of the cases of sickness that occur at
this season Of the year are mistaken for the
Asiatic cholera. They are produced frequently
by the young vegetables that are SO eagerly
sought after and SO imprudently eaten. But
every precaution against that terrible scourge,
the Asiatic cholera, should be taken by private
persons and by municipal authorities. Cellars
should be cleansed, rubbish removed, and bad
meats and vegetables avoided. Great attention
should be paid to the streets and cutters in
cities. Filth should not be permitted to accu-
mulate in alleys and in private ways. A rea-
sonable attention to cleanliness will do much
to keep off the pestilence.

THE GAINES SUIT NOT ENDED.--It is known
that the talented, indefatigable, and heroic wi.
dow of the late General Gaines arrived in this
city few days since. We have ascertained the
motive of her visit. In the suit instituted by
her few years ago, she claimed as heir-at.
law of her alleged father, DANIEL CLARK, and
also as a legatee under the will Of 1913, said to
have been destroyed. Some doubt arising about
the jurisdiction Of any other than the Probate
Courts of Louisiana in reference to the legacy
under the WILL her claim, in virtue thereof was
abandoned, and she relied entirely upon her
rights as heir at law. In this she was unsuc.
cessful; but the Supreme Court in its decision
suggested the expediency Of her resorting to
the Probate Court with the view to the probate
Of the missing will. This she has determined
to do; and in SO doing, she is encouraged by
an deliberately written opinion Of Judge Camp
bell, of the United States Supreme Court, (con-
Cured in by that eminent jurist General VAL
TER JONES, Of Washington, Geo. Wood, Esq,
aud Judge Kent Of New York, and q great
number Of other distinguished lawyers,) that
the evidence at hand, and which is beyond the
reach of accident or fraud, Of the execution and
destruction ofthe will ofl8l3, is overwhelming.
Il is upon this important document that she
bases her immense claims.

HIGH PRICE OF Provisions.

If the plain men Of the olden time could rise
from their graves and look around them at the
changed condition of things since they moved
amongst men and took part in the business,
the pleasures, and affairs of life, they would see
many things to wonder at. But nothing, per-
graphs, would astonish them more than the
highPrices now paid for provisions. Vegetables
that rotted in their gardens, fruits that fell from
their orchards to greedy swine, eggs which were
SO numerous that they knew not what to do
with them, young chickens that, for want Of a
better destiny, were but too happy to fall into
the talons Of hawks and owls, tender young pigs
that grew up into useless hogs, veals that grew
up into idle COWS, aad went dry for want of
milking, and butter that grew rancid from be-
ing too long kept-all now command prices
that would tax most cruelty the arithmetic of
our honest fathers.
There is q complaint all over the country
about the high price of marketing. Several
reasons may be assigned for this. One is the
general prosperity Of our people, and the album
dance of money. Another is the increase Of our
population, especially in cities, all of whose
mouths require to be fed. A third is the COM
munication by means Of railroads and steam
boats that has been opened between cities and
farmers. Another is that hotels, large hotels,
elegant hotels, are far more numerous than
they used to be, and that now there are, per-
haps, hundred travellers, where in the good
old times there was but one.
Whatever may be the cause or causes the
effect has been produced. Provisions are in
ordinately high, and it is difficult to say who
makes the profit out of them. Do the farmers
and gardeners whoraise them, the hucksters and
market-men who traffic in them, or the keepers
of hotels and eating houses, realize the profits !?
One thing is certain. The house-keeppr who
buys, not to sell, but to eat, makes no profit.
The boarder at the hotel, and the eater at the
restaurant makes no profit. These three things
are certain. But nobody will agree that he is
the fortunate man.

AGAINST SECRET POLITICAL AssOcI.
ATOMS.

p
We are pleased to see that the Richmond
WAtg, after some days of hesitancy, has at
length declared formally and strongly against
the know-nothings." This declaration is in
character with the manly and patriotic course
which that journal has latterly pursued In
its issue of the 18th inst, the Wing says:
"We have never extended fraternal arms
to the know-nothings, and it is not at all like
y that we shall. We deprecate and abhor
this odious secret method Of eHecting political
objects as much as any one, not even except
ing our contemporary Of the Cockade. We trust,
therefore, it may rest quietly under the assur-
ance that the Wing has no sympathy with the
new-faEgled order of know.nothings, and that
it will give them no laid nor comfort what
ever Suppose, however, that the know.nothing
organization should contribute to the success
Of the democracy, would not the indignation Of
our democratic contemporaries abate little?
We have our fears upon the subject, but we
will not be SO uncharitable as to express them
now"
The Whig need have no apprehension as
to any aid that the democracy will derive from
the secret order Of which it speaks. Demo
cracy abhors secret political societies. It is
neither ashamed Of its name nor its principles
1t scorns dishonest DISCUSSES and unmanly de-
ceits. We will also tell our contemporary that
sound constitutional southern wings have
nothing to hope, but every thing to fear, from
this secret political society. We repeat that
we are much pleased that the Wing is opposed
to acknowledgement

General Cazneau's Letter on the Dominican
Republic.

It was hardly worth the trouble to deny, in
formal manner, the ridiculous stories put in
circulation by the New York Erening Post re-
speeding Gen, Cazneau's business last winter
in st. Domingo. His honorable career as a
public man in Texas, and abundent testimo-
malls in the State Department, attest his char.
acter and capacity in q sufficient manner; but
the letter we give below is the most final and
conclusive exposition Of the cause and motive
Of the attacks of the Erening Post 1t tells its
own story, and we think our New York cotem-
porary will find it no easy matter to define its
own position with the negro emperor as salts.
factorily as General Cazneau does his with the
administration and the Dominican republic.

could not possibly be written by a gentleman !"
and if that is what the editor Of the Post calls
an admission of its truth, he is welcome to all

ton Of the American Congress- but which are
eminently entitled TO all it can give-as to de-
mand particular and specific action, unembar-

that special committee be raised to take the
subject in charge. If the House will CRAFTY
me in this particular, something may be done,
either during this session or the next, and the

Producing it.
81 am aware that the Peruvian government
derives great portion Of its revenue from this
guano trade. am equally aware that the
United States and Great Britain are its best
customers; but in all this i can see no reason
why that government should not, for a fair
equivalent, remove the onerous restrictions i'm
posed upon it, and particularly when demanded
by the people Of friendly power.
In an interview which lately had with the
Secretary of State upon the subject, that officer
informed me he had had the same matter under
consideration, and been in correspondence with
the Peruvian government but that nothing had
been definitely decided, If under these cir
cumstances, special committee be raised, we
shall, besides having hope that something
will be done, have the subject properly brought
before Congress.

come into power, and General Pierce had given
ample guarantees that no fllibustering scheme

by forbcarance. He mentioned cases II individual
