We see it stated that the recent difficult
ties in Virginia in reference to the affairs
of this Company have been settled, and
that the Company is now in better con-
dition, and its business under more thor

before. We are grati6ed to learn that
the obstacles which have to some extent
embarrassed the operations Of the Com

AN INFAMOUS PARTY.

The Radical party has no hope OF car
rying the ensuing elections unless the
soldiers of the North can be carried back
to their former hatred Of the South
They are appealed to as if the rebellion
was still in existence, and their valoi
and numbers necessary to achieve sue
cess The brazen lie is told them that
the South is still rebellious, and medi'
tates another effort to break up the gov
eminent. The whole Radical party is
proceeding upon the assumption that
nine million people are hypocrites, and
unfit for civil government. Since the
day when the devil tempted CHRIST upon
the Mount, no greater lie has ever been
uttered. There is no meanness to which
that party has not descended.

sFCRTrARY STANTON.

There is reason to doubt, says the
World, whether Secretary STANTON wall
quit the Cabinet at present, after all that
has been said and done The pressure
on the President to make change in
the War Department is very great, and
difficult for him to resist; but it is under
stood that Secretary SEWARD stands by
STANTON, and that influences have been
brought to bear upon the President for
the purpose of securing his (SrASrox 81
retention, ut least until the next session
of Congress, 1t is surmised that the
visit of WeoD and RAYMOND to the capi'
toll had in view, among other things, the

PRINCE BIsMARK.

As reward for the consummate abill-
ties displayed by the Prussian Prime
Minister in the recent campaign against
Austria. he is to be elevated to the rank
of Prince. In this connection, we are
reminded of an anecdote concerning
BIsMARK, which is told by the Pail Mall
Gazette. Ia the year 1859, NAPOLEON
and Count CAvouR, the great Italian
statesman, met in the South Of France,
and the conversation turning upon Eu-
ropean affairs, NAPOLEON told his guest
that there were three master minds IN
Europe, "two Of whom are in this room.
The absent one was BIsNARK, whose great
qualities as a leader NAPOLEON, even at
that early day, had perceived.

CHOLERA is ANIMALCULE.
Sulphur as the Antidete.

A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette de
clares that he believes the effects which
we see in cholera are the immediate re
suit of the poisonous presence Of certain
insects in the stomach and bowels taken
in with the food and saliva. He says;
The following facts are sufficient to
lead us to this conclusion, but. there are
many others in the history Of the travels
and spread of the disease which 60. far to
confirm it. l,..
/. We know that the cholera has been
brought TO our shores by infected vessels
or persons. These insects we think find
a Judgment in the damp hold Of the yes

crease and finally affect the passengers.

atoms of the patient are fruitful, il not
the only thing capable of communicating
the disease to others. so far as the ema-
Lations of the patient is concerned.
Now. why is this2 Simply because they

prevalent and violent in localities around
filthy privies and sinks The reason Of
this is obvious, when We adopt the theory
above mentioned. But if the disease is
caused by any noxious effluyia arising
from these places, without the presence
of these particular insects, as some have
suggested, why is not the, disease preya-
