Speaking Of the late election. the Louis-
vile Journal says: eve have for some
time been trying, not wholly without
success, to convince ourselves that the
number of actual rebels in soul has been
inconsiderable since the close Of the war;
but. in view of the results OF last Mon
day g elections in some parts Of Kentucky.
we are spprehensivs that we have been
mistaken. Certainly, some Of the bitter.
est. or rather most sudscious. of all the
rebels and rebel sympatSizers in the State,
have been elected to the Legislature BY
large msjorities-elected. not in spite Of
their being rebels or quasi.rebels. but for
the reason that they are so. Z.

WLETHE CHOLERA CoME w EASTWARD?
1t is reported that the cholera has
abated at Alexandria, and the French
surgeons are7 convinced that it will slso
cease it's rsvsges at Cairo and Upper
Egypt. They assert that the "presence
Of the cholera there is purely accidental,
and that there is good reason to believe
that it will neither assume the character
or prevail as long as those epidemics
which in former periods and countries
decimated the inhabitants." The mild.
ness Of the type which the disease has as.
'sumed, and she precaution taken at Tunis
and other plsces, give good grounds OF
hope in this pect. But the report that
it has already appeared in Sicily and
Constantinople leaves grounds for spprc-
hension. sEoM ~ 80 e.a .s!'.s > eva

East, or that it will not visit the West.
