MORTALITY IN lNDIA.-Mr. Russell writes
to the London Times that "all over the
northwest the troops are being housed, and
operations ceased until the fierce heat has
little abated. The sun has been more dead
ly than the enemy. As if to try the endu-
rance of Englishmen to the utmost the sea-
son has been such as has not been known
since 1888. Those who know Bengal will
understand when say that on the 18th in
slant one clergyman in Calcutta buried forty
eight Englishmen, chiefly Sailors In ono
ship the captain, chief mate, and twenty-six
men had all appoplexy at once. Nine men
from Fort Williams were buried one morn
ing from the same cause. Her Majesty's
nineteenth, at Barrackpore, who are nearly
all under cover, and who are most carefully
looked after, have two hundred men unfit for
duty from immense boils. Colonel Stratton,
of her Nlajcsty's seventy seventh, just arriv.
ed from Australia, marched his men to Dunn
dun, eight miles, with their stocks on. An
hour after he and his instructor in rifle prac-
tce were both dead of apopexy. All over
the country paragraph after paragraph an
nounces the death of so many men nt such a
place from npoplexy. Fortunately the rains
are setting in, and in month it will be COM
paratively COOL"

TIE UUIoN BANK.-We learn from the Mem.
phis Bulletin that the Union Bank is going to
supply the Branch of that institution located
at Memphis, with one million dollars of its
notes. made payable on their face at other
points, but stamped with a pledge of redemp-
ton, in specie, at that point The reason, we
presume for pursuing this course is, that the
Union Bank has no notes engraved, payable
at Memphis, and that by the course they pro.
pose, the same result will be obtained, as if
they were, upon their face, made payable
there. This is avery good move in the right
direction.
The Bulletin, in the same article, suggests
that as the Planters Bank has notes payable
at Memphis, already engraved, that that in
stitution furnish its branch in that city with
such counter notes-notes payable therefor
general circulation at that point-where
those who sell their produce can have the
choice of carrying home with them either
Bank notes or specie These suggestions are
worthy of consideration.-NaShviHe Daily

The FIFTH HUSBAND GoNE.-A few weeks

The CABLE AND ScRRTURE.-The sue
cess in lay ing the Atlantic cable has impress
sed many with the idea that the year 1858
will ever remain memorable era in the his
tory of the world; hut, little overhauiug of
the Scriptures will show that the idea, so far
from being new or original, is simply full
iilment of prophecy, and carrying cut of sug-
gestons made by the inspired writer's. We
append few extracts to convince the scep-
ticaI:-
PSALMS, XIX: l4.-Their line IS gone out
through all the earth, and their words to the
end ofthe world.
JOB, XXxvnu.: 36.-Canst thou send light
nings, that they may go, and say unto thee
here we are?
REVELATIONS, X: land / saw another
mighty angel come down from heaven,
clothed with cloud; and rainbow WAS up
on his head, and his face was as it were the
sun, aHd his feet as pillars of fire:
2. And he had in in his hand l:te book
open; and he set his right foot upon the sea
and his left foot upon the earth:
3. And cried with loud voice, rs when n
lion roareth and when he had cried seven
thunders uttered their voices.
A. And when the seven thunders had utter
ed their voices was about to write, and
heard voice from heaven, saying unto me,
Seal up these things which the seven thun-
drrs uttered, and write them not.
5. And the angel which saw stand upon
the sea and upon The earth lifted up his hand
to heaven,
6. And sware by Him that liveth forever
and ever, who created heaven and the things
that therein are, and the earth and the things
that therein are, and the sea and the things
which are therein, that there should be time
noIonger
JOB, xXxvT.: 3.-fIe directeth it (his voice.
under the whole heavens, and his lightning
to the ends of the earth.
JOB, XVIII: 26.-When He made a decree
for the rain, and way for the lightning and
the thunder.
JOB, xxxvIu.: 25.-Who hath divided
watercourse for the overlooking Of waters,
or way for the lightning of thunder.
PROVERBS, VIII: 29-When lie gave 20
the sea his decree that tire waters should not
pass his command.
The coincidence of the seven thunders and
seven voices in the Evangelst's vision, with
the seven wires of the cable; the several al!
lusons to the sway for the lightning the
inquiry whether the lightning can be made
to speak; and the direct reference to the in
sulotion of the cable by giving decree to
the sea, that "the waters should not pass
his command" ought at once to settle the
question of priority Of the idea, concerning
which there is now much wranging in the
newspapers. Verify, "there is nothing new
under the sum- Y. Herald.

DEATH OF JUDGE GooDALL.-We learn
with much regret, says the Nashville Patri-
ct, that the Hon. John l.. Goodall, Judge Of
the 4th Circuit, died on Saturday. lie left
his home near Carthage on the 18th inst,
for Smithvie for the purpose of holding
Court there, but was taken sick at Beckwith's
on the way, where he died. Judge Goodall
was one OF the most revered members of the
Judiciary ofour State man whose sterling
traits of character eminentIy fitted him for
the judicial station, and in which they made
him an ornament to the Bench. He presi-
ded for many years, and commanded univer-
sai respect. His personal and social quail
ties were such as to endear him to all with
whom he mingled, and, at his death, left rs
many and rs devoted friends as any one in
the district. The Bar will feel keenly the
loss of an upright Judge, and the community
most estimable, generous and publc-spri-
ted citizen.

TAX ON OFFICE HOLDERS. Washington
Union defends the right to levy tax upon
office holders, to raise money for electioneer-
ing purposes The following is its article on
the subject:
1--WE see it reported, we do not care upon
what authority, that tax is levied upon the
persona employed in the government service,
and the payment thereof exacted We are
quite ignorant of the authority upon which
this payment is demanded or the purposes to
which it is applied when received. We trust,
however, that whatever may be thus collect.
ed may be wisely and economically applied
to advance the interests of the Democratic
party in its great struggle with the opposi.
ton. 1t is said that from one quarter to one.
half of one per cent. on the salaries of of
ficials is thus exacted. Now, without know
ing anything of the aledged tax, and with
no belief III its existence, as a general thing,
We have just this to say on the subject. If
there is person in the public service who
does not voluntarily contribute the amount,
at least Of tWo dollns and half gear on
each thousand dollars of his salary to sup
port the cause of the Democracy, he should be
dismissed at once, and his place tilted ,cih one
rho is patriotic and liberal enough to double
the contribution. We believe the cause to
justify its support, and those who refuse to
aid in that patriotic work should be the last
to complain if they are deprived of the special
favors Of those in power"
The Union will, we doubt not, claim the
right to use the public treasury for the same
purpose. At least its party does SO use it, at
times without receiving any rebuke from the
central organ.

A GoNER.-The editor of the Homo Jour
nal, Winchester, is on visit to Philadelphia
and in writing of the ladies of that city
he says:
ave shall also tell n little that we have
learned of the ways of the world, and the
freaks Of women--of which last article Phil
adelphia can boast any quality and they too
pretty for susceptible young man like our.
self to look at, and not fall in love with es-
pccaly when they accidentally drop their
mantllas-- we believe that is the name-and
make it necessary for one, as matter of
courtesy, TO pick them up and replace them
over their fat, smooth, glorious aud electrify-
ing snow-white little-shoulders."
That young man needs looking ufter, and
his friends at Winchester ought to telegraph
TO have him sent right straight home, before
he gets into trouble.
