Mayor May of Augusta calls upon the
people of that city to put their houses in
order" in view of the apprehended APP
proach of the cholera. All decaying and
decayed vegetables and animal substances
are to be removed from the premises of each
citizen daily. General Brannan has placed
at the disposal of Mayor May number of
wagons, with drivers, to facilitate the reno
val of the filth. We expect from the well
known energy and active solicitude for the
welfare of the city of our worthy Mayor
similarly precautionary measures will be in
augurated here at an early day.

MExICo-THE GUERRILLA ATTACK ON
THE BELGIAN EMBAssY.-The Balgian en-
bassy took leave of their Majesties last Sa-
turday, and left yesterday by diligence for
Vera Cruz, in order to take passage in the
North American packet of the 9Th instant.
Unfortunately. before the diligence had ar
rived at Rio Frio, it was stopped by band
of brigands. The members of the Belgian
mission, who were accompanied by three or
four soldiers with in and outside the vehicle,
took immediate steps to defend themselves,
whereupon the brigantls skedadled with pre-
cipitate haste, not before they had fired one
volley, by which Captain D'Huart and Gen
eral Foury and two other persons were kill
ed.-C0r N Y Hertld

Bad Bridge.-Wele learn that the bridge across
Neuse River, at the Falls, on the Oxford road,
thirteen miles from this City, is in dangerous
condition 1t has been kept up for some time we
learn by the Forest Manufacturing Company, but
it is now getting beyond their control. This is
the only bridge for twenty miles on the river, and
is therefore very important to be kept up. We
hope those whose business it is to attend to this
matter will give it their attention at once.

Horse Thieves.-The Florida Sentinel men
tions the fact of which strong evidence exists, of
there being regularly organized bands of horse
thieves operating in Florida and other States of
the South We have no doubt of the fact, and
we believe there exists a similar organization in
this State Many occurrences go to prove it, and
so strong are the grounds of suspicion on the
subject that we think they would justify much
more rigid investigation on the part of the civil
police and the military authorities, as well as
much greater preeaution on the part of those who
have animals to lose.

STEFAN to the County In6rmary for the
ensuing year, was acted upon. DR..
IRWIN now holds the position at sala-
ry OF $500. At former meeting Of
'he Board it was agreed, as we learn,
mat proposals should be received for
the place. When the Board next con-
myened, proposals were handed in by
prs. Magruder and Quigley, who pro-
posed to render, jointly, the necessary
medical services, for the sum of 500.
~ Dr. Hunter also sent in proposal at
Slzo, the sum paid before the war.
put strange to say, majority of the
board, in utter disregard of the inter-
v vos OF the taxpayers of the county,

their profession, but as gentlemen, in
every sense OF the word. Indeed, we
hardly think DR.. Irwin, himself. will
presume to lay claim to the medical skill
and knowledge conceded to the other
three gentlemen. Then, in all candor,
we ask, what possible excuse can the
majority OF the Board have for 50 fla
grant and utter disregard of the in
terests OF the taxpayers of the county
Are not the people already sufficiently
burthened with taxes? Is the county
treasury so troublesomely full, that
these gentlemen take it upon themselves
to virtually throw away, in this single
Item, $40 Of the hard earned money of
the people? But this action of the
Board OF Overseers of the Poor is in
perfect keeping with the reckless ex-
pendltures Of certain other officials of
the county. Our people are now pay
ing Tor the services of two or three
county officers, from$ $3.50 to 5000 each,
more per annum than is paid in other
counties Of the State for discharging
the same duties; and in those counties
there is no lack Of applicants compe-
tent to fill the various positions.
And w have heard it limited that if
the proceedings of the Board of Super
vlsors were made public, as they ought
to be, and as they are in other coun-
ties, they would disclose the same prod
lSal expenditures and lavish waste of
the peoples money shown in the in
stances we have alluded to above. The
published report of the County Treas
urer threw no light on the manner in
which the funds Of the county are dis
bursed. 1t said, in brief, AL paid in,
all paid out But to whom paid, or
for what purpose, we are not informed.
Ut course the Treasurer is not respon-
sible for the way in which the money
is disbursed. He only pays it out on
order But, in his published report he
should have given the items, and to
whom and for what purpose expended.
But this would, in measure, have
given publicity to the proceeding of the
Board, and therefore must be omitted.
If the Board desire to relieve them
selves Of all suspicion, let them publish
the full proceedings of all their official
business TRANSACTIONS short, let them
render a faithful account Of their stew
ardship.
The men who, when the people are
ground down and grooming under the
weight Of heavy taxes, exhibit such ut
ter disregard for economy in the public
administration of the affairs Of the coun-
ty, are unworthy the confidence of the
people whose interests they thus de-
liberately neglect and sacrifice, and de-
serve to be displaced and their positions
filled by better men.
Let the people Of the county take This
matter under consideration. The rem
edy is in their own hands. If they
fail to apply it the fault will be theirs,
and they should cease to complain of
heavy taxes.
