PEsTTLENCE IN CITY.--The South

condition of affairs at Portsmouth:
To one who has never witnessed city

no adequate idea of the weary desolations
of Portsmouth 1t looks like the fallen
city of the Arabian Nights, in which ev-
cry thing was suddenly petrifed and fro
zen into silence and death. Closed sto.

shutter everywhere fastened, and noth-
ing to relieve the fright(ul and unnatural
blankness of the scene, but hearses and

scourged, bowed in the dust before pow.

Several Of our exchanges have stated that the
cholera prevails in our town to an alarming cx-
tent. To disabuse the public mind we will state
that such isnot the fact There has been but one
single case, as reported by our physicians, that
looked like cholera, and it is extremely uncertain
whether that was cholera.
II is fac. that chill and fever prevails in our
town moro than Mt any other period for some
years past, il is, however, more prevalent in the
country than in town. We hope our exchanges
will make the correction. ...

Iowa Election,

The Iowa Republican says of the re-
cent election for county officers in that
State:
"There can be no doubt that the Dc.
mocracy throughout the State have been
defeated worse than ever before; and
had there been State officer to elect
the returns would have shown it most
clearly. In such counties as Jackson,
Davis, and some others, where Bates
had majority, there is now a majority
of several hundred the other way, and
that in counties which had been consid.
cred hopelessly and irredeemably Dem
ocratic while in Jefferson, Scott, and
some few where the Democrats have
gained, their gains have been Compar.
atively small. According to the above
estimate the aggregate majority against
them in the State will be $500"
