CHOLERA.

This "plague of the East" is reported to
be rapidly increasing in viruleuce at the n.
York quarantine grounds. A number of
emigrant ships have recently arrived from
Liverpool with the disease on board, and
heavy per centage of deaths during the
passage. The result is a rapid increase of
the disease on the hospital ships provided
by the city, and an increased probability of
the contagion extending to the shore. Once
there, it will almost inevitably visit the
whole Atlantic seaboard with a desolation
more destructive to human life than war
itself The interior cities possessing the
advantages of purer air, and less density of
population may escape lightly. Its ravagcs
in country towns are never so severe, and
a rural population generally fails to be af
fected by it-except to be scared.

But there is another course left open to
the Legislature, which does not violate
either the article or spirit of either Consti.

to come forward in given period ; but we
have warned our readers that the produce
of the world would presently be in excess
of the demand. How far We have been
correct is demonstrated by the statistical
details of the imports for the present year.
Notwithstanding that 25O,26O more bales
have been purchased at Liverpool only for
home consumption since the commencement
of the year, the supply in warehouse
7s4, $50 bales-is 247,620 bales in excess
of the corresponding period in 1865. The
increase in the import-679,O4O bales
is so large that few houses are now manu-
featuring except to order. At the present
time there are about $50, 900 bales of COT

year; while the four months importation
from America into Liverpool were equal to

OUR SOLDIER DEAD.

Mr.. Editor.-Will you allow me to say,
that do not think anything has appeared
for long time in the columns of the En-
oU1RER more interesting than the comuu-
nication signed GA" in your last issue.
This, l know, is really saying great deal
for any single article in paper so general
ly and deservedly popular-for who does
not read the "ENoUIRER," and almost
everything in it, with great interest?
1t seems to me if your correspondent,
after a most careful analysis of all the
sympathies of the popular heart, had made
I it bis special aim to strike the chord which
would vibrate most respousively, tenderly
and deeply to bis touch, he could scarcely
have been more successful than he was in
his late article. And it is really very hard
for me to decide whether he deserves more
praise for taking his sword in hand and
going forth to battle for his country's i'm
perileG liberties, or with jealous care for
the honor of his fallen comrades, taking his
pen and calling upon his countrymen to
perpetuate their memory by some suitable
testimonial. His appeal in behalf of our
soldier dead can't be in vain. Our soldier

does this phrase awaken in every thought

lation, and hence unappreciated if not
despised by the outside world, makes it
only the more obligatory on US to defend
their honor and perpetuate the memory OF
their heroism and sublime devotion to

Hail Storm.

On Saturday last, destructive and wide
spread storm of wind and hail passed over
the central portion of this District, from
South. West to Northeast. The injury to
the growing crop in its track was severe.
In many places the wheat crops are entire
ly destroyed. The damage to the fencing
is also heavy.
Many persons dependent upon their
wheat crops for bread for the mex. few
months, have been placed in a deplo' ible
condition.
On Tuesday, another terrific tornado pas
sed over US from the same direction, up
roofing trees and unroofng number OF
houses. A number of old wooden buildings
were blown over, without injury to the
occupants, as far as We can learn. The
handsome hotel building of Mr. W. E. ROSE,
was partially unroofed. The streets and
sidewalks of this town are literally covered
with the debris of the storm.
At this writing, we have heard nothing
from our farming friends as to the injury
done them, by this last storm, but from
the evidences of its fury here, the crops
must have suffered additional heavy injury:

EDITORIAL INKLINGS.

- The troublesome Fenian organiza-
ton seems determined to embroil this corn-
try in a difficulty. Late advices from the
Canadian frontier, represent considerable
force as having crossed into Canada, at a
point where no troops were stationed to op-
pose them. This is a part of the ROBERTS
faction, which declines to acknowledge the
supremacy of STEPHENS, as Chief Director
of the organization. STEPHENS is opposed
to the inauguration of active hostilities at
this time, and advises delay and concert of
action The ROBERTS faction are eager for
immediate action, and refuse to listen to
the wiser counsels of their leader. Trouble
for brief period will probably be the re-
suit.
- The trial of Ex. President DAVIS,
before the u. S. Circuit Court at Richmond
announced to take place this month, will no
doubt be deferred until the Fall. There is
a peculiar "hitch" in the manipulation of af-
fairs connected with the trial, that the coun.
try cannot understand The only solution
we can arrive at is that Congress does not
intend Mr.. DAVIS to be tried before Civil
Court, as the chances are that he will be ac-

OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.

1t is perhaps not the best course for those
whose position requires them to act as SEN
tries over the public welfare, to create
alarm before the sure approach of danger.
With due regard to this fact, we cannot
perceive an excuse for silence. The results
of the recent great struggle-the hopes
based upon its termination, and their utter
disappointment as also the unfortunate re,
straining policy pursued towards creditor
and debtor, have operated to place the
country in financial position anything but
promising.
The question naturally presenting itself
now, is what can be done to remedy the mis-
takes of the past. Debts due between indi-
viduals, now that all restraint is removed,
will be forced to an adjustment through the
Courts. The pressure once commenced, will
be of necessity continued to wide extent.
The exaction of demands against an individ.
ual, will require him to exact Of others to
NEE Those demands. In such an extremity,
We would counsel .tor6earance, as the best
means of placing debtors in a condition to
pay. There is, however, but little likeli-
hood of such counsels availing anything.
We cannot look to the Legislature for fur
ther restraint. The Constitution has been
