COLONEL FREMONT We are told that Col.
Fremont will soon arrive in this capital to
spend twelvemonth. Neither his country
men nor the French are likely to inquire
whether he be or'has been Protestant or
Roman Catholic; they will regard him sim
ply as the one who SO lately received the suf-
frages for the office of President, of thirteen
hundred thousand of the free voters of our
Union; whose conduct during the canvass
is free from any proved reproach; whose
achievements as an explorer of unknown re-
gIons, and whose narratives of them, served
to exalt his country. His explorations in
kanzas, Nebraska, Oregon, and California,
are advertised by London publishing house,

The Hoe CHoLERA.--Many farmers in this
city and vicinity are losing their swine, by the
mysterious and fatal disease known as the hog
cholera. We hear that in the Southeast part of
the town, it prevails to greater or less extent
upon nearly every farm. In most cases, the dis
ease is traced to Western hogs that have been
sold by the drivers the present season, and which
seem to have communicated the contagion to the
other inmates of the sites in which they have
been kept. 1t is known that of many droves of
Western shotes that have been sold at Brighton
this season, and peddled about the State, nearly
all have died, and we wonld caution our pork
raising friends to be on their guard against the
losses and vexations that must ensue from the
purchase Of such stock, in which the chances are
more than even that it is diseased
