Tne NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. -Allhough \

The Cholera-Precautions Although we
have had but one case of cholera (Which proved
fatal in this city, during the present season, II
would be well for all Of us to take every precau-
lion to guard against its inroads That dreadful
epidemic may spare us from its raysges, but Of
this we can have no assurance; for II is not con-
fined 10 any locality, nor dependent upon any par
ticular temperature or condition Of the weather or
atmosphere; yet as il has been said, there can be
no doubt that there does exist in the atmosphere,
during the prevalence Of epidemics, an occult
cause, which acts upon the human body, produc-
ing direct changes in its economy, interrupting
some of the functions Of life, and prostrating the
natural and establishing for the time new and fac
titious laws which, instead of sustaining, tend to
the destruction oflife. " s,ss
We have, of late, seen in the newspapers many
scraps of advice--weapons with which to combat
the cholera but, however much the writers differ
in detail they seem TO agree in this common-sense
fact: that, as to food, every one must Judge for
himself, guided by former experience, avoiding
every kind Of it which he has been taught to be
suspicious. If all stomachs were affected alike
by the same kinds Of food, then specific rules

otherwise. es 81
Another piece of advice is, "to institute no
new practice during the prevalence Of an epidemic,
and, above all things, keep calm and in order 10
this, keep busy-aways employed" As nothing
more favors its virulent assault than the depress-
ing influence Of fear and dependency, anything
which may inspire hope and confidence is 10 be
esteemed great blessing.
II is well known that the cholera makes quick
work of its yiciims-sometimes before physician
can be summoned; and hence it seems to us that
all people should know exactly what 10 do in such
cases Of attack, and have the necessary applica-
tons always at hand Delay in such matters fire.
quently results in death. Therefore, we would
respectfully suggest that the medical fraternity OF
this city, in joint meeting give their sanction TO
some prescription, to be published for the benefit
Of humanity, and to be followed untlthe services
Of physician can be procured Proclaimed under
professional authority, such advice would inspire
confidence; and in the event of the approach OF
the epidemic, many lives might be saved by few
simple directions, applicable TO the preliminary
stage, which is unmstakable. K J

Anthracite Coal.--We have noticed, for sew
eral days past that housekeepers are already
laying in their winter supplies of coal, being APP
prehensive, doubtless, that the price (Which is
high as il was last December) will soon further be
advanced. The dealers in this description of fuel
are reluctant 10 buy largely at the market rates,
and hence the supply is limited The reason as
signed for the present price tseven dollars and
half per ton at retaiD is the increase of miners
wages and the EXCHANGED cost Of transportation.

Water-Works. - Every movement on this
subject is of the deepest interest TO our citizens
No wonder; for the present supply Of water is in
sufficient for household purposes, TO say nothing
of the santive luxury Of the bath. The Senate,
during the present session, voted five hundred
thousand dollars to continue the works already
commenced at the Great Falls of the Potomac,
and on which one hundred thousand dollars have
already been expended; but the House Of Repre-
sentaives refused to acquiesce in the proposed
expenditure. The Senate, however, still DESTROYS
of continuing the aqueduct according 10 the pre-
sent plan, approved by the President, have in
serted an amendment in the civil and diplomatic
appropriation bill, appropriating similar sum-
coupled with the condition, however, that the
cities of Georgetown and Washington, or either
of them, shall contribute one-fourih Of the sum.
In for this, they are to use the surplus wa
ter, and are authorized to make loanio meet the
pecuniary requirement, and TO charge the citizens
a waterLax rent to pay the interest ofthe loan,
and to gradually extinguish the principal.
Well, ifthese are the only terms on which We
can have the water, let the appropriation be
passed aaa

The Mails.

We have been annoyed all summer by
rarely receiving more than three mails per
week, frequently one at the first, and two
As same dag, at the last Of II. The press
of our city and Of our Territory, with every
business man in the community, has spoken
out against this unjustifable irregularity,
and We had hoped sufficient had been said
upon the subject to make Government cot
scious of the wants of our citizens. But
as navigation draws to q close, the time Of
all others mails are most needed, they are
becoming still more irregular !; so much so
indeed, that the Galena, on her upward trip
yesterday, notwithstanding we had been
without mail for days, brought no mail of
any kind. We know not where the fault
lies for this, but understand that when that
boat called at Dubuque for the mail, it was
not "made up" We hope to get mail
by the next boat-if nothing happens!

Terrible Railroad Accident.

We learn from the Chicago Journal that
the passenger train which left that city on
the evening of the first instant for Rock Is
land, broke the axle Of the engine near the
Ninoka station. 1t is said that with much
presence of mind the engineer Immediately
reversed the steam but at that moment a
horse jumped upon the track, throwing off
the train, and killing and wounding 80 or 40
first class passengers. The scene is repre-
scented as having been most melancholy and
heart-rcnding.

We are deeply panied to learn that it is
feared that the Mr.. BABcocK who was muir
'dercd in Oregon short time since. by the
Indians, with number of others. an account
of which dreadful occurrence we published
a day or two ago, was the brother of our
esteemed fellow citizen, L. A. BABcock, Esq.
His adventurous Spirit led him 10 seek a
home and afortune in Oregon, and he left
his native State, Vermont, with bright hopes
and high anticipations, but to find tomb
at the hand Of the savage! The news Of
his murder has fallen with stunning force
upon his brother here, who has been await
ing on each arrival Of the post to hear Of his
brothers safe arrival at his new home. Mr..
BADcocx has the sympathy Of the entire COM
munity, and all trust that the melancholy
rumor may prove unfounded. ' 81 ,.zo

From Penlbina.

Mr.. GIPPs, just down from the Selkirk
Settlement Oh the Red River of the North,
informs us that the Sioux continue their dep
relations, on the settlers and half-breeds To-
Gated there. The day before he left, they
made descent on a party of half-breeds
and captured some Is or 20 horses. Their
encroachments are exceedingly annoying,
and as they have been carried on without
intermission for some time past, cry aloud to
government for redress. The poor fellow.
from whom they were stolen, were about
starting on their fall hunt, and as they are
mainly dependent on the chase for support,
the loss falls heavily upon them.
The health of that region is good crops
fine, and all things considered, the colony is
in most aourishiug condition.
Messrs. RoLErrE and GRANT designed
starting for this city in few weeks
The Red River train, which left here in
September, arrived at Pembina in safety, in
20 days from it's departure from St. Paul
"a remarkably short time.
An unusual number of hunters design fol
lowing the chase the coming winter-buffalo
being very abundant.

Excitement In Worcester.

WORCESTER, Oct. 80.
Asa Butman, the kidDapper of Anthony
Burns, was discovered at the American House,
and was Immediately posted throughout the
city. In the evening vigilance committee of
citizens watched Butmans movements. He
threatened to use pistol at the crowd, a war
rant was issued and he was arrested. His cx-
animation was postponed, and he was COM
PEELED to give bonds to appear and answer. -
1t became evident that Butmans life was in
danger. A large and excited crowd having
assembled, some one prevailed on the crowd to
let the kidnapper 60, and he was followed to
the depot when the colorcd population fell
upon him. and he would have been killed but
was rescued, and got into carriage and es-
capped.

pg The City Marshal received the follow
ing Geographic despatch night before last from
a neighboriag town: There will be girl
on the o'clock train from Cleveland. She is
about l6 years old, has blue eyes, and blue
sack, round features. You will please arrest
her, and her friends will be there on the first
train. She is abducted away from her pa
rents"
This despatch was put into the hands of the
Police officers on duty, and on the arrival of
the train very pretty girl, answering the de-
scription, was by them taken in charge, and
safely kept until the arrival Of her brother,
who took charge of her, and they both return
ed home yesterday morning. Poor girl she
had become fascinated with the good looks of
a young nan who lived in the same village,
and upon his eaying there to find another Sit
ustioa, she madly resolved to follow him. She
little dreamed Of the sad consequences of such
step, and Of the life of sorrow which awaited
her, had not her plans been frustrated by the
telegraph Columbus Jour.

In the U. S. District Court, yesterday, the
case of Michael Kennedy, of Sydney, Canada
West, came up. lie Wa: charged with VIC
lation of the Revenue Laws, in bringing to
this port two passengers from q foreign port,
and failing to report their names at the Gus
tom House. The passengers in question were
the two British descrtcrs who were charged
with robbing the Queens treasury Of some
5000 before leaving, aud who probably had
good reasons for not having their arrival in
this country announced. After the case had
been opened for the Government, the prisoner
retracted and plead guilty. The penalty for
the offence is a fine of $500, but sentence was
deferred.
