The increased mortality, the diminu-
tion of the active members of the How
ard Association, and the renewed pan
&c and flight of our citizens, has thrown
so much labor on those who remain at
their posts that it is with the greatest
difficulty I can find time to drop you
few lines. The noble philanthrophy
of the citizens of Baltimore, however
as daily evinccd in their shipment of
supplies, on whom we arc dependent for
the actual necessaries Of life, makes it
a part of my duty to keep them adyis-
ed through your columns as to the po-
sition of affairs, and the progress Of the
scourge. The dropping off Of the ac-
tive members of the Association has al
so somewhat thrown into confusion the
system adopted Of reporting and record
ing deaths, and we have nothing but
rumors and verbal statements. Out of
the original ten members Of the How
ard Association, but three are now left
on duty.
Thomas G. Dixon, the senior part
ner of the widely known firm Of Dixon
Il Hallet, was buried this morning.
He followed M. Hallett to the grave
on Monday, and followed him in forty
eight hours---thus students the scourge
in some cases.
The number Of deaths in this city du.
ring the "a hours ending ut noon to.
day is variously stated at from so to
60. The demand for collins at the de-
pot of the Howard Association is the
best criterion of the extent of the NOR.
tality, and two or three may be seen
at all hours Of the day measuring and

Struck by lightning.

A pear tree on the farm Of Eugenius
Shaffer, and within few yards of his
door, under which two fine mich Cows
had sought shelter from the storm on
Wednesday evening last, was struck by
lightning, and the COWS Killed. The
bell strap on one Of the cows was torn
in two and part of it couldnot be found.
At neighbours house, Mr.. S. told us,
a lady was severely shocked by light
ming, although no traces of the fluid
could be seen about the premises. The
storm on Wednesday evening was of
short duration, and the rain light here,
but the display Of the fiery element
was fearful to look upon; more so than
any we have had this season.

American Meeting,

We had the pleasure on Saturday af-
ternoon last, of meeting with and ad-
dressing large and enthusiastic audi
cnce Of the sturdy mountaineers of
our sister county Preston, at the frame
Westinghouse on the old Clarksburg
road, two miles from Zinn's Mill. At
about two o'clock the meeting was or
gained, Maj, VIM. Z. linn presiding,
and according to appointment we took
the stand to defend and illustrate the
American platform principles, which
VIC labored faithfully and honorably to
do in a speech of about two hours, and
Judging by the interest manifested and
the uninterrupted attention given by
our audience, we were not unsuccessful
in our object. The meeting was very
harmonious and orderly, and was char
acterized by the best feeling on the
part Of all who we're in Attendance
We like the spirit with which our breth-
rem in the American cause over wonder
in the mountains and the glades, are
urging forward the great and good
cause. They arc "aooykiRg men" in
whatever they undertake, and while
with brawny arm they swing the axe
and drive the plough, with noble
zeal and intelligent patriotism they arc
united to strengthen the defences of
our Republican institutions. Success
to them in all their avocations.
But the ladies are with us too-thcv
were with us on Saturday, and may be
counted with us all the time. Thew

leans now in their efforts to bring back
the better days and purcr patriotism of

Mynchburg Convention

Says the Richmond Amcrican: eve
understand that those having the mat
ter in charge have, for satisfactory rca-
sons, postponed the Lynchburg Con-
ventlon of the American Party from
the 18th Of September, (thc day origi-
nally scIcctcd to the 10Th of October
We feel satisfied this postponcmcnt will
meet with the appreciation of the whole
party. In the meantime, it would be
well Tor those counties which have not
already appointed delegates, to do so
at the first opportunity"
We arc glad the time Of mectine Of
the State Convention at Lynchburg
has been postponed. The postpone
ment beyond the present busy season
OF that conyocatiOn was demanded bv
every constellation of prudence. AS
the matter now stands we may look for
large attendance of delegates. and n
corresponding interest, which VIC could
not have hoped to secure while farm.
crs, mechanics, merchants, indeed eve
rybody, are busy in the usual hurry Of
Fall operations. Let the delegates be
appointed and sent to Lynchburg, for
that Convention will exercise an i'm.
portant influence on tho future veal Of
the American cause in Virginia.

News from Salt Lake CITY.

The ST. Louis Republican has a let
ter, dated, "Grcat Salt Lake CITY.
juno 30th." The grasshoppcr plague
still continued, On the 18th of June
they commenced an exudus, and pas
sed through the air for three days in
countless hosts, and were drowned in
the lake, the shores of which were so
soon covered with them that an often
sive efiluyia was produced. In few
days new armies poured in from the de-
serts beyond the mountains, and spedi-
ly devoured the little vegetation left,
including the third crop a0hich had just
been sotcn and wds barely makiag ats
appearance. The drough had been OK
cessive, and the cattle were driven to
the mountains for grass. The writer's
say: GAIL hope for grain or grass is
blighted, and famine prices may be en-
pectod to prevail. Two instances have
already come under my notice, in which
parties paid three dollars cash per
bushel for wheat, in order to obtain
flour for their families" Governor
Young has just returned from tour
to the North. The principal object of
this trip was to establish the line divi-
ding Utah and Oregon Territories,
which lies in 420 north lat, and was
designated by erecting a stone slab
with the letter U. on one side and the
letter 0. on the sther.

Fatal Accident on the Baltimore

ports the following:
We learn that tho watchman in the
deep cut between Fairmont and Wheel
ing was found on Saturday night dead
upon the track. 1t is supposed that
ne was intoxicated and had fullcn upon
the track, when the mail train passed
over him cutting him entirely to pieces.
Or Morday night last, an engineer by
the name of McAbee was scalded to
death at section SO on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. The engine ran
OFT the track and caused the sad catas-

weeks in Morgantown, and is prepared
to supply new teeth and regulate old

Although the DIR. is favorably known
here, 1t may not be amiss to state that
he received beautiful Silver Medal at
the last Agricultural Fair in Fayctte
County, for the best specimens of Den
tlstry on exhibition. Those who need
his services will do well to apply soon,
Tor his stay will be short.

THE BomJardment Of ,Sweaboyy.--
The London Times substantially &C
knowledges that Swcaburg has not been
destroyed. 1t says:
That we have burnt everything COM
bustible on the group of islands before
the roadstead of Helsingfors, including
arsenal, magazines, stores, workshops,
and the dwelling houses fthe artifcers
is likely enough, though not acknow-
lodged in the Russian account of the af-
fair. But it is by no means clear, from
even our own account, that We have
silenced the batteries or done them a.
ny material damage. Indeed with a
fire mainly vertical, latterly chiefly Of
rockets, at distance Of $500 yards,
it is evident we could produce little i'm
preston on perpendicular faces of gran
lite, or the living rock cut into the form
of batteries. AS no attempt was made
to enter the roads, to capture or de-
stroy any vessels that might be found
within, or to destroy the public build
ing and stores in the city of IIelsing-
fors, we must conclude that the batter
les still presented an insurmountable
obsticlo to the entrance of the allied
fleets.

Sudden Death.

DAVID RILEY, an old and respected
citizen of Preston county, (residing on
Threc-fork, in the neighborhood of
Zinn's Mills) died very suddenly on
Monday, the Sd instant, at the age of
about 90 years. lie was engaged ma
king wooden pins, out of doors, and
without any visible premonitions of
sickness or death, he fell, throwing the
axe from him, and Immediately expired.
1t was supposed to have been at attack
of apoplcxy. A man at work few pa
ces from him, on seeing him fall, has
tened to the spot, but life was extinct
before he reached him. Truly, 'in the
midst OF life we are in death.

The Rebellion in Chinn

The accounts from China for some
months past have justified the belief
that the revolution was at a stand, and
the insurgents had met with serious re-
verses. The Overland Friend of China
ofJune 9th, received by the last Euro
pean steamer, however, contains intel
ligence received through the North
China Herald, and copied from the Pc
kin Gazette, dated in April last of the
capture of two or three cities by the
rebels, situated in the province of Hopih.
This province is situated south westerly
from NankiD. at distance of about 800
miles. In the meantime we have no
late information of tho progress of the
insurgents in the north. From the alb.
sence ofany account Of their advanc G
upon the capital while these operations
are recorded in the official Gazette, il
is natural to infer that in that quarter
nothing ofimportance had occurred
The cities Of Woo.ChaDg and Slang
Quang in Hopih, are situated souther-
ly from Porkin at distance of six or
seven hundred miles.
