weston Neps of the eth inst. says:-
According to the admission of nearly all
our physicians and others, yellow fever is
now IN Galveston. Up to Saturday night,
with all our usual inquiries, We could not
learn from any quarter that there was the
slightest supicions of any such fever here,
and indeed our city was pronounced quite as
healthy as usual.
But on Sunday morning, several eases that
had been pronounced bilious fever, were
pronounced yellow fever, and Frenchman
from New Orleans died early this morning
with the usual symptoms of that disease, and
during Sunday young lady IN the employ
of Mrs. Walker, dress maker, died, and also
young man in the employ of Mr.. Hinkle-
dey. Since that time we have heard of two
or three deaths, and we now learn shat there
are about 10 or 20 cases of this disease in our
city. Among others, we regret to learn that
General Sherman and his lady and daughter,
are down with the same disease. and also a
white servant girl in their family We are
glad, however, to hear that all are doing
well. The disease yields readily to medical
treatment.

The prisons continue to be filled with poll

at liberty; his brotGers paid the $50, 900 the
Government asked him to loan. The money
was paid without a receipt being taken.
Mr.. Escandon holding that receipt from
the Government was of no more signif-

band of robbers. His confinement has been
serious disaster to many industrious people
Before his Imprisonment he had on his pay
list over 20, 900 people, employd on his differ

ment was to prosecute him, he ordered his
factories closed, and all labor to be discon-
tinued in his mines and on his haciendas

CYRUS L. PERSHIWG, ESQ.

We have had az opportunity of conversing
W ith persons from every portion of the coun-
ty recently, and are pleased to find that
the nomination of Mr.. PERsHENG for Congress,
is no: only everywhere received with satisfac-
ton, but With enthusiasm. The ridiculous
ehorts of the Opposition press of the district
to place him in false position with regard to
the Tariff question will prove abortiye. 1t is
false that he is the special advocate of the
present Tariff, or opposed to any notifications
of it that equity and justice may require If
elected to seat in Congress, he will stand
ever ready to advocate all and every measure
having tendency to foster and promote the
interests of Penpsy ylvania. without trampling
Union. On the Slavery question, his posi-
| ton is equally clear and unequiyocal. lie
is the advocate of the princi pie of popular
sovereignty and in favor of allowing the peo-
pie of the Territories to regulate their domes-
tic institutions in their own way. He regards
the doctrines of the Black Republican party as
sectional, and having tendency to disturb
the stability of the Union, and lead to the
most alar ming consequences. We clip the

ing from several of our exchanges published
