AFFECTING INo1DENT.-Charles Watterson,
an industrious blacksmith at Hickman, KY,
had by hard work and close economy, accu-
mulated sufficient means to send for his wife
and family, whom he had left in England
They arrived at Hickman some three weeks
since, in charge of friend, when his cup of
happiness was full. But alas the Joy of the
happy family was soon turned to mourning.
The friend was only few days after his arri-
val attacked with cholera, and in a few hours
his earthly course was run. The same day
Watterson was attacked, and in five hours he
had gone the way of all the living The wife,
very intelligent and pleasant woman, over
whelmed with grief, was making arrangements
to return to England, when she too was at
tackled by the fell destroyer, and in few hours
more had joined her husband in the spirit

"ORDER REIeNs IN WARSAW" = Since
the final disposition Of the Senatorial question,
on Thursday last, our city has been very quiet,
and a vast amount of business has been trans
acted in the Legislature. On that day the
Swiss battalion F" raised the seige of the
Capitol, and made precipitate retreat from
the city. The early train of Friday morning,
took off the last detachment and now nothing
remains but the wreck of champagne baskets
and brandy bottles to mark the field of their
operations. We wish them pleasant return
to their families, and to their posts Of duty in
the Boston and New York Custom Houses,
and to their desks at Waskington-and we
congratulate the city for safe deliverance
from swarm ofproAigates, such as this quiet
and orderly city never saw before.
We believe, on the whole, that everybody is
pretty well satisfied with the disposition made
of the Senatorial question, and measures will
at once be put in train by the friends of the
different candidates to contest the matter be-
fore the people Col. Wells, on taking his
departure for Salt River, said that twice he
had been defeated by the President-once by
his opposition, and again by his friendship.

POWDER MILL EXPLOSION Another pow
der mill, belonging to Lewis Bemis, Esq, of
Spencer, exploded on Friday last, about one
o'clock P. M. Fortunately there was only
one man in the mill, and consequently the loss
of life was not SO great as we have before had
occasion to record. William Bixby, aged about
thirty years, was the only man in the mill,
and he was, of course, instantly killed. He
leaves no family. There were eighty kegs of
powder in the mill. The windows of the
houses nearest the mill were blown in, but
no other damage was done.

We see by the Indianapolis Daily Sentinel,
that the personal popularity of Macullar, of
the firm of Macullar, Williams & Co., of this

from the Sentinel shows:

The treaty with japan was duly received
at Washington day evening, and we pre-
sumo that in the course of the day it will be
taken up in Cabinet meeting. 1t is said that
the English in the East were rapidly preparing
a very grand expedition to Japan, designed to
accomplish for England what Perry has ac-
compllshed for the United States. Now it is
understood here that there is clause in the
Perry treaty, by which it is provided that, in
the event of the future formation of treaties,
between Japan and foreign nations, the United
States shall be placed on the better footing,
which may be stipulated for in any such
convention.-JV Washington Star, 10th.

Advices from China speak of body
of 500 banditti who were committing fearful
atrocities in the vicinity of Canton. They
had plundered houses of almost everything of
value, and had crucifed young children by
hundreds, in sight of their agonized mothers,
who frantic, but powerless, had dashed their
brains out against the walls at the horrid
sight; and the government had not power to
arrest the murderers, or to prevent their out

CHoLERA.-The telegraph reports fearful
visitation at Chicago-there were one hundred
and thirty deaths by this disease on Sunday
last. During the ravages of the cholera i'll
past years, this city has suffered terribly
Chicago, it will be remembered, was the place
where, in 1S49, the cause Of this hitherto in
durable disease was thought to have been
found, by the discovery of ozone in the atmos-
phere. Several cures were effected by the
use of common sulphur, and for awhile the
medical profession, there and elsewhere,
thought that a certain, simple und speedy
remedy had been reached, but the theory soon
exploded.
The Chicago Democratic Press announces
the existence Of cholera in that city in an cpl
demic form.
The cholera is producing fearful panic in
Toledo. The number of deaths, however, is
not so large as first reported. Its worst raw
ages have been in the village of Eutaw, across
the river. The inhabitants have all either fed
or died, and the village is deserted. In Toledo
about dozen deaths occur daily but the last
report says the plague is abatng. Twenty
vessels, loaded for Toledo, have sailed up the
straits and dropped anchor at Detroit, rather
than venture into the infected harbor.-N. Y.

inst, during a heavy storm which suddenly
broke over the city of Detroit, sail boat
which was lying at the dock with her sail
hoisted, broke from her mornings, and started
across the open lake. A little boy, seven
years of age, who had sought a shelter from
the rain beneath the deck of the boat, speedily
discovered the accident. and seizing the helm,
endeavored to direct her course to the shore
The wind had by this time increased to hur-
ricane, and the banks of the river were lined
with men, women and children, who were
unable to render any assistance. Several
times the boat preached to and came round
again. and during one fierce squat was thrown
directly upon her beam ends. But the gallant
bark held her way, the young pilot standing
manfully at his post, and finally was run into
shallow water, where she was boarded by
several men. In answer to question Of how
he got along, tie boy answered that he was
pretty wet but added, 80 Wasn't it lucky, Mr..
