ARRIVAL OF THE UNCLE SAM.
Cholera OH Board.
ITO DEAD OF $50 ON BOARD!

The Nicaragua steamship Uncle Sam
arrived in port on Friday morning, (Sept.
14,) at s o'clock.
Col Walker had quiet and peaceable
possession of the town of San Juan, hay
ing landed and taken it on the 2Sth of
August. His forces were increased by
the accession of a number Of volunteers
from the Northern Light, who preferred
the chances of fame and fortune under
Col. Walker, to the hopes of success that
had led them towards the golden shores
of California
We are indebted to Mr.. Henry Loben-
stein, a passenger on the Uncle Sam, for
the following information in regard to the
cholera ou the Uncle Sam, on her trip to
this port. There was no cholera on the
steamer on the other side, nor was there
any among the passengere while on the
Isthmus; and particular care was taken to
prevent them eating fruit, or dissipating
in any way to render them liable to sick
ness. Nevertheless, at Castillo Rapids,
some OF the steerage passengers We're ia
ken with suspicious looking diarrhea.
On arriving at San Juan del Sur, the pas
sengers passed through an old hulk, on
which-as was reported some of Col.
Walkers men were lying sick with the
cholera. 1t was necessary pass through
this hulk to get to the boats which carried
the passengers to the steamer. The re-
port that there was cholera there induced
some of the passengers to hire private
sklfts as conveyance to the steamer.
When the steamer left San Juan the
symptoms of the cholera appeared very
plainly, and the disease soon began to
rage with great vehemencc. At first the
presence OF the disease was concealed
from the cabin passengers as much as pos
sible, but the number of deaths was soon
so great that concealment was impossible
The surgeon reports 1l0 deaths. The re-
port current among the passengers, and
some of the officers of the vessel, was, that
2lO had died The death of 10 would
show that one out of six had fallen vic
tim.

Bold Attempt to rob the Layfayet (Ind.)
Bank,

About one o'clock on Friday morning last, a
bold attempt was made to rob the Bank Of Bar
bee, Brown & Co. The burglars, by means
Of a duplicate key, entered the meat shop oil
Knoblock & Smith, which is situated in the
cellar of the bank building. There is wood
en- partition separating the shop from the front
part Of The cellar, which is used by the bank
for wood, coal, &C., and in which the founda-
ton Of the vault is built. The burglars ef-
iected an entrance into this part of the cellar
through small window, in the PARTITION
They first attempted, by means of an augul
and crowb,r, to get through the floor neal
the door of the vault, but failing they COM
menced undermining the vault. Nearly a
cart load OF brick and mortar was removed
from the foundation, bu; no entrance was
made. 1t is more than likely the burglars
became alarmed and decamped suddenly, as a
crow bar and several bIrglarious implements
were left in the cellar. ...

Honors to "gill Poole''-A Strange People,

One would suppose from reading the ao-
counts OF the demonstrations made In New
York at "Bill Poole's" funeral, and seeing
the large spuce devoted 10 the matter by the
New York Journals; that Poole must have
been a man OF great celebrity and of high
standing as a citizen in that metropolis. The
honorS that have been paid 10 him are hardly
less than would have been bestowed upon
distinguished general or eminent statesman
who had rendered essential service to the
country. Strange to say, he was notorious
rowdy ani professional prlze fighter, whose
character is thus described in the New York
Herald, which says:
"Bill Poole was one OF class Of men who
rose into notoriety some twenty years ago
when The fashion began of packing the prl-
mary elections and selling the nomlnations.--
He and Others. by their superior strength and
pugilistiC ability, completely excluded hon.
est, respectable men from these assemblies,
and for years and years were in the habit OF
, selling every nomination TO the highest bidder.
In feet, these men lived on what they made
in tins way, were regularly employed 10 fight
by one party or the other at every electlon'
and were some times even sent of specially
into the country tomanage canvass or bully
a convention"
1t is true, Poole was inhumanly murdered
by some Of Lis cbumG aud prize-f fighting esso'
ciates, but that is no reason why he should
be glorifed after his death any more than 9TH
er persons OF iufni,ively better character, who
never received such honors. There was noth-
ing TO distinguish his case from the weekly
murders that occur in Gotham, and of which
no other notice is taken than the proper ju-
dicial investigation. We have fallen upon
evil times, indeed, when professional prize
fighter and rowdy is thus glorifed and exalt-
ed. II indicates most lamentable state OF
public morals, and appreciate of public vir-
tue, when heroes are made of such material .
People at distance from New York read the
accounts to which We allude with infinite
amazement and disgust that the death Of .
miserable bully should create such a sensA-
| ton.

All this was uttered by the repentant wo-

Indian Murders in Texas.

A Fredericksburg (Texas) Letter to the Gal
weston Neps, of the date OF February l3, says
that on the Sd inst. the Indians came upon a
German Of the name Of Ferch, in the woods,
whittier he had gone 10 work, and murdered
him in most horrible manner, having shot
hlm literally full Of their acursed arrows, and
after stripping him Of every article OF clothing
Of any value, they concealed his body in a
small thcket, took his horse, aud set out again
for other victims. Not long did they have 10
search until they found another opportunity OF
wreaking ther hellish malice. On Monday.
the 5th, Mr.. Thomas Neel, an aged man, the
head and sole dependence OF numerous fam
lily, was on his way from Fredericksburg,
whittier he had gone TO procure the necessa-
ries Of life, and when about eight miles from
town, and about three or four from his home,
he, too, was cruelty murdered in the same
manner as Mr.. FeIch; and, after taking his
horse, clothes, and every article Of value
about bis person, they dragged his body few
yards from the road and lief: it lying, rich
repast for vultures and beasts ofprey!
Such are the outrages committed around us
on every hand, while six Companies of thorough
going Rangers are carried off hundreds of miles
away from the settlements. where their pres
ence is so much needed. 10 points where they
can effect but little or no good. except 10 place
the Indians between them and US, While in

Another Abolition Outrage +,

1t will be seen by reference to an Item IN
the s.local" side Of this mornings Enquirer.
that Blackwell, the faEatical Abolition scamp
has achieved another of his Infamous tricks
upon couple Of black people, similar to the
one which he participated so infsmously In
last summer, at Salem, Ohio. On this occa-
sion; as on that one, il seems the colored peo-
pie were taken from their protector by violence
and absolutely carried TO the prison against
their desire-in truth, without having any un-
derstanding OF the proceedings, save that they
were taken out OF the hands Of their master,
with whom they were anxious to 60 to Mis-
souri,.
This fellow Blackwell, grown bold by the
indulgence OF this community, on whom he is
infcting serious injuries, has become the
worst social nuisance in the city. If he alone
enjoyed the Infamous reIown of slape- -steal Ter
it would be al well enough, as it is notorie-
ty which lie seems TO covet and love; but the
business interests Of the city alone haze to suf-
fer, the whole South having, at least in hk
case, good cause to stigmatize US an Abolition,
slave stealing community. If the fana;ical
rascal should have meted out to himself, one
Of these days, the same process he yestesday
indulged in, good would come.

Sentence Of the Fort Wayne (Ind) Murdsrsrs.


The three bruals murderers Of Mr.. Dunbar,
at Fort Wayne, Ind, have been sentenced to
be hung. The Fort Wayne paper, in giving an
account OF the matter, says.
"The hall was lensely crowded with spec
lstors, who listened with breathless attention
TO the solemn prceedines. Keeier and Romine
took their seats with great calmneSs and forti-
tude; Madden, who is suffering from severe
attack OF lnfammatory rheumatism, had TO be
carried in on chair, and was placed in q
recum ent position on bufa robe. After
the clerk had read the verdict Of the jury, tho
Judge, great y affected, and with visible emo
ton, pr roceeded 10 discharge his painful duty.
MsdLen, aud Keefer were sentenced to be
hung on Friday April 81, and Romlne on FIJI
day, June 10.
"Romine and Madden wept freely, and ap-
peared deeply affected. Keefer, who hitherto
had maintained an appearance OF hardihood
and ind lference, was also greatly agia;ec;his
fortitude seemed 10 forsake him in the over
whelming reality of the doom awaiting himj
and marked difference was observable in
his Appearance and demeaner when taken
back to PRISON, from what he had previously
exhibited"

BEAUTIES OF BIAcKwELL's 1sLAND.-An ac-
count of visit to Blackwell's Island appears
elsewhere which will repay perusal. In the first
place it is gratifying to see that the work OF
reform is going on vigorously at the Peniten-
tiary Hospital, under the superintendent Of
Dr. Sanger, the Resident Physician, and the
committee of the Board Of Ten Governors II
is to he hoped that no negligence or spirit Of
conservatism will be allowed to interfere with
the progress Of revolution which deserves the
encouragement of every authority.
Other matters, less pleasing to think OF, are
noticed in the article to which we refer. One
Of these is the law which constitutes the Hos
ptal on the island exclusively Penitentiary
Hospital whereby that class Of females for
whose use it was chiefly intended, and by whom
il is chiefly tenanted, cannot obtain admission
until they are committed to prison for some
misdcmeanor by magistrate. The effect Of
this law is most mischievous, as can readily be
understood. II leads the women to identify
misfortune with villany, to draw no dstinc-
ton between disease and crime. 1t forces
young and perhaps only partially corrupted
females into the society Of the most deprayed
Of their sex. II 1estroys the terror of the
law which is after all the only real safe
guard Of society. and teaches the poor creatures
to steal ty accustoming them to the penalty
