OUR BEp-RooMs STATEMENT
IN RELATION TO CHoLERA.-Dr. !. s. Bell,
an old and eminent physician of Louisville,
a man of vast requirements and wide obser.
walton and experience, said the other day at
meeting Of the Louisville College Of Physi,
clans and Surgeons: "The cause of cholera
has never risen 10 any great height perpeu.
dicularly, except when it was forced up.
Naturally it cannot effect the second story
Of any good residence. Heights have always
been, when properly guarded. secure refuge
from cholera. Elevated buildings or high.
walls have always been exempt, while con
,erminous places were ravaged. Moscow
has repeatedly been Invaded in the quarters
along the low banks Of the Moskwn, but
there has never been a case OF the disease
in the elevated kremln. The monas'eries
with high walls in IaIy. France and Spain
have, with great uniformity escaped the dis
ease. The cause Of cholera acts alone at
night. and upon sleeping persons No

Of this fact, ithout one alteration from the
statement of The proposition. have my.

notion So this distinguished practitioner
intima,es that attention to our sleeping
apartments is quite as important as the otb
er precautionary steps which are more fre-
ausnlIy urged in the newspapers. Look
where you sleep, for it seems that the epi-
demic is most dangerous when it steals on
one like thief in the night"

President Lincoln and the Rebel Legislature
of Virginia.
The following card from Hon. Ed. McPher-
son appears in the New York Tribune of Fri
day. The interest and Importance of the doc
ument in question will be obvious to all:
To the Editor Of the Ne,o York Tribune:
SIR: Your Richmond correspondent of the
9th has noted and commented upon the fact
that Mr.. Lincoln's telegram to Gen. Weitzel,
forbidding the assembling of rebel legislators
in April OF last year, has never been publish
ed. 1t is document Of historic interest, both
for its subject matter and for the fact that it
was the last telegram penned by Mr. Lincoln.
Some weeks ago, obtained from Secretary
Stanton copy for my forthcoming political
manual of 1866, from the proof sheets of
which have the pleasure of extracting it:

Maj. Gen. Weitzel, Richmond, Va:

you of the 7th. He assumes, as appears to
me, that / have called the insurgent Legisla-
ture together, as the rightful Legislature of
the State, to settle all differences with the
United States. 1 have done no such thing.
1 spoke OF them not as a Legislature, but as

draw the Virginia troops and other support
froln resistance to the general government
for which, in the paper handed by Judge
Campbell, promised specific equivalent, to
wit: A remission to the people Of the State,
except in certain cases, the confiScation of
their property. 1 meant this and no more.
Inasmuch, however, as Judge Cnmpbell mis-
construes this, and is still pressing for an ar
mistice contrary to the explicit statement of
the paper gave him, and particularly as Gen.
Grant has since captured the Virginia troops,
SO that giving consideration for their with
drawal is no longer applicable, let my letter to
you and the paper to Judge Campbell both be
withdrawn or cOuntermanded, and he be noti-
fled of it. Do not allow them to assemble,
but if any have come, allow them safe return
to their homes. A. LINCOLN"

this is an error. Mr.. Stanton responded to my

-Machias is to have bank. - a-ft
"A company calling themselves the aStrat-
ton Spring Slate Company, has been organ
lied for the purpose of opening and testing
the quarry of slate recently discovered on the
banks of the Sebasticook. The editor of the
Waterville Maahas visited the spot and says
that better indications of success could hardly
be given than are already found. A large
quantity of the slate, already manufactured
into roofing by an experienced workman, is
pronounced Of first quality by the best judges.
1t has already been spoken for in considerable
quantities by men proposing to build. Every
thing so far the best judges can tell indicates
boundless quantity of material of the very
frstquality. tits SOFT of good rift free from iron
or quartz, and apparently as good, in all re-

The Bath Times says :"We can but admire
the zeal and pluck of the Portlanders. They
are bound to make their city prominent bus
iness place, and encourage and ENTER heartily
into every project to that end. The establish
ment of their packet company, the steamers to
Machias and other points, all show their enter
prisc and the place is reaping the benefit of it.
Would that our people would emulate the
Portland spirit"
The Machias Republican says that neatly
one hundred and fifty men, women and chill
dren went from that place to Machiasport on
Saturday evening last, in the Delta to see the
Steamer City of Richmond, and owing to the
grounding of the boat, were obliged to walk
back, arriving at their homes between twelve

for Governor. The following Is the letter:
= PORTLAND, Me-, June Is, 1866.
Ma Dear Sir:-YOu are aware that when
my friends proposed to use my name as a can
didate for the nomination of the Union party,
for the office of Governor of Maine, L stated
to them that did not desire the position, and
would accept it only as the expression of the
voluntary and unsolicited preference of the
whole convention. At the same time ex-
pressed the strongest desire that such con-
centration of opinion should result in the
election of some other candidate.
!, 1t seems to me too clear to admit of reason
able doubt that the preference Of the delegates
to the convention will be for Gen. Chamber
lain; and in that preference heartily concur.
His past record is so brilliant, his qualifications
are so eminent, and the avowal of his opinions
is so decided and so fully in accordance with
those of the Union men of Maine, as to leave
no question but that they may find in him a
true representative of their opinions, and a
Governor who will do honor to the State.
wish therefore to be considered as unqual-
ifiedIy declining to allow my name to be used
in the Convention as a candidate for the NOM
ination With great respect,
