CairO-Dry Land AppeaIins.

A Cairo correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette writing July lst, says:
Cairo is beginning TO ''dry up" and will be
out of water in ! few days. 1t was not falling
half as fast inside yesterday as II was outside,
but men are engaged in deepening the erevass-
es. in order TO let the water out II Is three
feet above the level Of the river, inside OF town,
and the water outside Is now seven feet above
the mouths Of the sewers. The damage has
been greater than was at first supposed by the
ueoole of Cairo, and the houses Will need a
grest deal Of repairing. The mud IS about an
inch deep on all the floors, and is Sf n very
slimy character and disgusting smell 1t seems
as if 1t ou= hit to be very sickly here, and there
i ind ,ed considerable sickness in town. The
weather is still very hot, and the sky was per
feclv clear last night Ii boy OF ten years
old should attempt 10 count the mosquitoes
now in c. iro, lie would reach three-seore and
ten before he had enumerated aquarter OF them
The high water has left very visible marx on
all the houses, and the appearance of things
generally is anything but ornamental The
water in town is almost too low 10 admit of the
use of skiffs, and entirely too high for wading;
consequently those who live in town are near
ly isolated.
The track Of the Illinois Central Railroad is
being repaired as rapidly as possible, but it vii
be a month before the trains will be able TO run
into Cairo. The grade is broken and washed
away in several places, from 100 10 800 feet II
length, and new trsstle work will have to bs
put in.

From The Peace Commissioner..

A despatch from Washington July "a says
The Government has received letter from
Maicr Ben Mccullough, dated Camp Scott, IN
which he states as his be iet that one Of the res
sons wby the Mormons deserted their habita-
tiuns was to guard their women from the aPPre
hended excessive gnilantry Of our soldiers; and
besides, that the leaders resorted TO this exodus
to keep the people together, and prevent the
disaffected Saints from throwing themselves on
the army for protection. The MormOns, he says,
do not believe that the army has orders or au
thority to pursue them, and hence congratulate
themselves that they are out Of harms way from
that source Col McC says that small force
of the Mornnns is still in Salt Lake City ready
to fire II, perhaps, in event of the approach OF
the army. lie thinks that q great mistake has
been committed in permitting the Mormnns to
gather their crops, as this, while It strengthened
them. diminished, relatively, the power of the
military forces.
1t was still reported that the Mnrmons were
going to Sonora, but upon this full reliance
could not be placed The belief is that the
place of refuge has long ago been selected.
Major Mccullough and the other Pence Com
missioner, Gov Powell, were going at once to
Salt Lake. but not with the army. Their pow
ers are superior TO either those Of Gov. Cum
ming or Gen. Johnston

Secretary Floyd is opening in California as
rich as the richest placer, throwing his Fort

''By the last steamer We received the rumor
that it was proposed to sell 10 the Government
uiece of land at Point Bonita. for The erection
of fort, for the sum OF $500 600. 1t Is mat

and Tor that purpose could at any time be Pur-

character in Paris to a friend of Senator Sum
ner, dated June 18th:
The opinion of both physicigns,
approved BY DR.. George Hayward, Of Boston,
" q in favor of esuterizatiOn of the spine, in
order to produce eounterirritatiou. and IN this
your friend Dr. Browns guard. whose special
ity is the nervous and cerebrall system, fully
concurred. He made several careful examina
tons, and came to the conclusion that there was
still congestion of the integuments Of the brain,
as well as other abnormal conditions. When
Ihe fact was announced 10 Mr.. Sumner, and the
exact process explained OF burning the neck
and back with irons at white heat, he at once
said Try it without delay-in any form and
TO any extent
The operation was performed by Dr.Brown-
Seduard, who wished Mr. Sumner TO inhsle
ehIorif,rm This he decli ed, and refusing all
an.,dynes, went through the painful process
without a word or a vince. Ii has been re

Good sursesriou-pubIIc Hyaranrs.

1t has been suggested BY the press of New
York, that free hydrsnts should be placed IN
the most pabie streets, where the thirsty can
drink without money or price. Nothing would
more certainly conduce to he comfort OF the
maisrs during heated terms Than public fOun-
tains, where thirst could be allayed by Passers
By. Many have seen the food of pure lake
water spolting upw4ri in the Square and run
ming to vase during tie last fortnight, who
vEou most gratefully have welcomed glass
to parched lips. Persons away from their own
dwellings, whether residents of the city or
strangers, are often at loss where to obtIin a
nuca needed draught of natures best beverage.
1t Is e1ceedingly unpleasant for such to intrude
into private families and solicit glass Of water
OF to eg water az saloons or hotels whose bars
are st lcked with stronger but not as harmless
drinks No doubt very maay are driven TO the
patronage of liquids really distasteful At first,
frum the neglect of the city zuthurities to pro
vide suitable puplic hydranis in suitable public

be advanced by such hydrants, and as Clevelan

veni ences for permitting all to Partske of 1t

The soatherp Democratic Candidate.

The fre-eaters who have SO far moulded Mr..
buchanan to their purposes like i very soft
nose of wax, are already moving with reference
To 1860. The Richmond Soah says Mr.. Bu-
chanan is the only candidate whom the South
ern people could hope TO elect President in
1860, and the sentiment of the similar class Of
SOu,he'n journals seems to concur. As the
FIRE eaters hold the Southern Democrats under
the same subscrvieney they do their slaves,
they viii be quite likely to whip in their NOrih-
