morning. We we're detained two hours
at break in the road twelve miles
from here, caused by the washing out
of a culvert, after the heavy rains a
few days since. Wepassed this morn
ing several car loads OF cattle and
hogs on the way to this market. The
cattle were little better In appearance
than our piney woods stock, but the
hogs were excellent The corn crop
in Indiana and Ohio is very good, and
hogs are said never to have done bet
ter. There will be great abundance
of grain and meat in the West, and
unless the Southern demand prevents,
prices will be low.
The dispatch to the Mayor of st.
Louis about cholera on the David
White alluded to in my last turns out
to be canard. There is however not
the slightest doubt that the cholera is
prevailing as an epidemic in New York
and Brooklyn, and there have been
numerous cases in Philadelphia though
perhaps not yet epidemic in that city.
A few cases occurred here last week
and great apprehensions are felt that
it may make its appearance in this city
as an epidemic. Cincinnati and Chica-
go are the first places where it may be
expected If it prevails in these cities
it will undoubtedly go to st. Louis,
Cairo, Louisville, Memphis and New
Orleans. A new cure for this terrible
disease is talked of DIR. Rubini of
Naples is said to have treated 592 ca
SEES of Asiatic Cholera without the
loss of patient. The remedy used
is most simple-Camphor. Camphor
has long been used in cholera, and
enters into almost every specific adj
vertised for that disease DR.. Rubini's
consists of equal parts by
weight Of camphor and spirits of wine
distilled to go degrees over proof,
and to the strength thus obtained he
attributes his remarkable success.
The spirits of that proof will dissolve
and hold in solution its own weight of
,amphor; water or ordinary sIkits
will hold very little camphoF n \
solution, hence the wateE- list
,e expelled from the spi "
listillation. Rubini's treatme

5roys the curative properties of the
lmphor. He also states that spices, q
romatic herbs, coffee, tea and spiritu- g
US liquors predispose to cholera and ST
lould be avoided. The remedy is s. s.
simple, and at all events in
worthy of trial. IN IN
One of the great events of the day is
the completion of the Atlantic ca til
nj
e. The first news it brought was tn
at of peace between Austria and -
russia. The basis of peace is that az
lstria gives up Venetia, and Prussia, 81
kes duchies about which the strife
iginated. The German Confeden- by
IN will be destroyed, but a military w
lgue will be arranged between Prus- is
and the Northern German States, II
