Terrible RaVageS Of the Cholera in COnStan-
tinOnle-6Oa and 600 DeathS Daily.

New YORK. Aug. 25.-The Constantine
pie correspondent of the New York Tribune,
under date Of August I'd, says: when l
wrote, two weeks since, it had just become
apparent that we were to be scourged with
Asiatic cholera. The official returns then
reported fifteen cases day The epidemic
is now fairly upon us with all its horrors
The official reports give tie number of
deaths now at 25O a day, and dying seen in
but it is plain enough; from the number of
dead the streets, that this is far below the real
mortality in the city, and even this does
not include at all the military garrison of
some 10000 men, among whom it is said
to be raging. Twenty-six dead bodies were
carried by my Office yesterday. What
would be the mortality in New York, the
population Of which is less than that of Con-
stautinople, if twenty five dead were car
ried in day through Lafayette Place alone,
for example? | do not think the deaths can
now fall short of 500 to 600 a day. They
probably exceed this number"

rEnx Commissioners

We have often heard it asked slow much
money have the Tax Commissioners in the Reb-
ell States collected +" To answer this question
we have obtained from Hon. VIM. Z. WORDING,
one of the tax Commissioners for Sonth Carolina,
the following statistics:
Whole am cunt actually received by the U. S.
District Tax Commissic for the district Of
South Carolina, up to November Is, 1864, $ll2,-
SOB 80. Amount to become due upon Army and
Navy certificates of Sale, in the months of Jan
uary. February and March. 1867, $l29, 703 Is !;
Whole amount received since November Is,
1864, $l5S,524 so. Amount to become due,
$3S, 8O7 %. Total, $489, 538 Al.
The whole of the above amount is for taxes,
sales and rents. We call it pretty good work,
considering that up to April, the Commissioners
were confined to small tract of territory around
Beaufort AdUocate.

the war, could find no mild
er name for "our soldiers than 'Lincoln's
Hirelings," "willing tools of the Despot
Lincoln" and other such endearing appel
lations-who invariably voted against every
measure for raising means to pay 'our SOL
diers," and who made it boast that they
had ''never voted one dollar for carrying
on this unholy and abolition war" Nor
will our adopted citizens forget that it was
these same copperhead democrats who have
always protested such exclusive friendship
for them, who now come out in their lead
ing organ of the Northwest, the Chicago
Times with column after column of the
most lying and sIanderous abuse of the
Irish citizens Of Chicago and the Northwest.
Never IA the history of this country, in all
the records of native Americanism and
Know Nothingism, have the Irishmen Of
America been so shamefully abused so out
rageously lied about as by these same cop
perhead democrats in their leading organ
of the Northwest And yet they will have
the cheek after all this, to come whining
and palavering around our "dear adopted
fellow citizens" and declaring that they
are the best and only friends of the foreign
er! Do they say that the editor of the
Chicago Times is not Wisconsin democrat?
Have YOU seen the execrabIe abuse Of the
Chicago Times condemned or repudiated in
a single democratic paper of Wisconsin
Of course you have moi And you will not.
Copperhead democracy is the same every
wherein Chicago in Wisconsin and in
South Carolina.

The Kentucky Election

A dispatch from Frankfort to the Cjncjn-
natl Gazette states that the official wore in
los counties gives Neale, Union 1879:
Garrard, Opposition, Al, 76l. Neale's major
ity, 2I8. Two counties Ballard and Wolfe,
remain to be heard from. Information Gun
oGIicial) is that Neale's majority in Wolfe is
a little short of 200, and that Garrards ma
jority is a little short of 200 in Ballard. No
doubt is entertained in Frankfort of Neales
(anti-slavery) election. The total vote for
members Of congress in the state will be
about 100 600, and the opposition will beat
the union ticket less than 5000 upon the
popular vote. One more vote of the peo-
pie and the union men will wind up the
concern. This is very cheering news. In
1864 the vote of Kentucky stood: Lincoln,
q, 1856 Mcclellan, 36,5l5. Now this i'm
menso majority is wiped out completely.
The LoUj5UtIie Journal thinks that if John
G. Breckenridge were to run for governor of
Kentucky, he would get nearly all the vote
cast for the anti-amendment ticket.

The Presidents Policy Towards the Rebel
liOuS States.

Governor ScHENK, of Ohio, in speech
OH the 9TH inst. at picnic to the returned
soldiers in that state, made the following
important statement in regard to the Presi-
dents reconstruction policy, as given in
conversation which the General recently had
with Mr.. JOHNSON. Gen. SoHENK said
The President might have held the rebel
lious states in military subsection as a con-
quered people, until satisfied Of their entire
loyalty, and until renstated in their former
positions by legislative action; or he might
have withdrawn the military force altogeth
er, and left them to exercise their civil
functions locally and in their relations
to the other states. From the start there
were objections to each of these courses,
and the President combined them, holding
military force over them at the same time
that he allowad them to reinstate their civ
il powers, and begin again the exercise of
their loyal functions. This latter privilege
however, was only an experiment, and the
speaker assured his hearers that President
johnson so regarded it. only ten days
ago, IN q full and free 9nter0ieao qojth him,
The President said lie regGrded the local gor-
ernmentS set up IN the ye5eLIjoDS 8tGteS as
temporary experiments, sjmplyto g5oe the
people an opportunity to Shoao aohether they
a0jU deveJope the right spirit and policy nee
essory for q restoration to their proper
position IN the government. While regard
ing them as experiments, he intends that
the military power of the government shall
hold them in check, so that if they be found
straying back into rebellious ways the mill
tary will be there to prevent them from
again making the trouble they have here
tofore caused.
The President, in this conversation, refer
red to the course that had just been pur
sued in reference TO the Richmond election,
where the citizens manifested their rebel
lious spirit by electing to Office the very
men who had recently been in arms against
the Government. 1t was with his sane
ton that the military authorities had set
aside that election, and he gave this as an
example of what might be expected in 9TH
| err cases of a similar kind

To Discharged Wisconsin Soldiers
1t having become evident that there are
persons in this State seeking to take advan-
tage of ignorant or thoughtess soldiers in
the purchase Of discharge papers this is to
caution all soldiers against parting with
their discharge papers under any circum-
stances whatever. 1t is not at all improba-
bic that Congress will, at an early day,
recognize the services. at least of those who,
enlisting in the first years of the rebellion,
did not receive the larger bounties of the
later years. and perhaps all others, by a
grant OF government land.
Such grants, or any subsequent bounties,
can be claimed only upon proper proof, in
which your discharge papers will be re-
quired, and the soldier who sells his, puts
his title to any such benefits entirely beyond
recovery, excepting in the purchase back
again of the discharge at such extravagant
rate as the Spectator may impose.
Aside from any money value which may
attach to an honorable discharge from the
service, in the future it will have to those
who shall come after you, if not now to
yourselves; value beyond that of money.
1t will hang beside your gun, treasured
among the sacred mementoes of the past,
and your name will be recognized as among
tho patriot heroes who left home and the
pleasant paths ofpeace to risk all for the
laws and liberties Of the commonwealth, and
whose valor has stricken down forever the
envenomed foes of the republic.
In any view of the matter, your discharge
paper is worth more to you than to any
one else
The person who seeks to purchase it OF
you has no good object in view. Do not
part with it.
By order of the Governor.
