The State Department is in receipt Of in.
telligence from the United States Consul
stationed at Port Mahon, dated September
20, in which he states that he has reliable
information from Palermo, in his province,
that on the 18th day Of September there were
1877 deaths from cholera, and since ther
deaths are occurring at from $50 to 100 pei
day.
The Consul says "That the infection ap.
pears in very aggravated form, and seems
to battle human skill" And IL is believed
that the disease was introduced into Palermo
by contraband merchandise. He further
says that wherever the infection appears on
the shores Of the Mediterranean the people
are stricken with terror and panic ensues.
The United States Consul at CONSTANT.
nople, under date of September 18th, in
formed the State Department that the cholera
has almost entirely disappeared from that
city.
The United States Consul at Genoa, date
September 18th, informs the State Depart.
mont that, owing to the rigorous sanitary
measures Of the Government, or the want Of
atmospheric conditions favorable to its de-
velopment, the disease was soon checked and
has now disappeared. Mushrooms have been
excluded from the city.

A reference to the advertisements Of the

your critic reconciles such conflicting state

proclamation suspending the privilege of tn,
writ Of habeas corpus should be made effectual
in Kentucky, and that martial law should b,
established there and continue until SAID
proclamation should be revoked or modified
And whereas since then the danger from
insurgent raids into Kentucky has substan-
TALLY passed away:
Now, therefore, be it known that I, An.
DREW JOHNSON, President of the United

me by the Constitution, do hereby declare
that the said proclamation of the fifth day Of
July, one thousand eight hundred and sixty.
four, shall be, and is hereby. modified in SO
far that martial law shall be no longer in
force in Kentucky from and after the date
hereof
In witness Whereof I have hereunto set

some ENGLIsHMEN lately visited the sum
mer palace of the King OF Sweden, at Stock
holm, and were shown over the apartments,
at their request, by man whom they found
seated on a bench in the courtyard. The
Englishmen began to tell anecdotes OF the
King, and demanded if they were true. The
guide, model of discretion, said so many
stories were told of his Majesty-some true,
some false, that it was difficult to say what
was correct, and that as he was connected
with the royal household, 1t was not for him
to say. The Englishmep begged pardon for
their curiosity, and it was heartily granted
At last, after they had seen everything they
took leave Of their guide, and thanking him
for his courtesy, expressed their regret that
they had not seen Charles XIV. The guide
raised his hat, and saluting them gracefully,
said II am the King" and then left the
Englishmsn not little astOnished.
