The report has been pretty generally cir
culatcd in the country that Cholera was rag
ing in this place. This is not true, though
there have been several deaths here from
neglected diarrhea, which had some SYM
toms of Cholera, and which is termed by Ply
sicians Sporadic Cholera, or Cholera in sin
gle cases, or more properly Cholcrine, in con
tradistlnction to, and without the contagious
features of Epidemic Cholera.
The cases which have occurred here are all
traceable to imprudent diet and neglect of an
existing diarrhea There is no need for
alarm on account of the deaths here, but it
would be we'll for all, in town and county,
to be particular in their diet, eating only such
things as they can most easily digest, and
just enough to satiate hunger without over
loading the stomach, and at the same time
using table salt freely, as it is supposed in
cases Of Cholera, the chlorides, which are es.
scntial in preserving the liquid condition Of
the blood, are rapidly passed off. Perfect
cleanliness should be observed both of per-
son and promises. All decaying or decayed
vegetable or animal matter should be removed
and lime used freely. Regularity in hours,
avoiding night air, extraordinary fatigue,
loss Of sleep, &c., should be observed.
In cases of diarrhea, it should not be al.
lowed to run on until the system is exhaust
ed, but medical treatment should be sought
at once and there need be no fears, even il
the Cholaa prevailed as an epidemic Is

Great Advance in the Price OF Corn.

During the past week there has been great
excitement on Change in this city in conse-
quence Of the extraordinary rise which has
taken place in the price Of Corn in all the
leading markets Of the world On the 1st of
Of September, No. Corn was sold in this
market at SOC per bushel on the LIST Of Oc-
tober it had risen to 60c; on the Goth, (Sat-
urday last, ) it rose to $50 per bushel This
is an advance Of 38c per bushel within two
monthsl This, too,. in the face of advance
in freights to Buffalo within the same period,
Of &c per bushel.
While portion Of this advance in the
price of Corn is due to damage in some Sec
tons by early frost, it is mainly attributable
to general failure Of the crops in Great
Britain and great advance in prices in Llv-
crpool. On the 31st Of August last, Corn
was quoted in Liverpool at 26s Sd per quar-
ter, and on Friday last October 26, it had
risen to 33s per quarter-an advance, with
in eight weeks, Of IS Sd per quarter .-Chi-

Ex-President Resolutions Of tn,
Mississippi Legislature.

-o~onAFPA HCoAoA"VUAS "
The House of Representatives of the Miss.
issippi Legislature adopted the following res
buttons on the 30th instant:
Resolved, That the members of this House
desire to express to Jefferson Davis then
deepest sympathy, their profound respect,
their continued personal attachment, and
their endearing remembrance of his virtues
as man, and those great qualities Of mind
AID heart which, in the Cabinet and field, in
power and in misfortune, have marked his
eventful life, and which from the prison house
call forth and receive at their hands the same
acknowledgment Of love and regard that they
did when he breathed the air Of freedom
Resozred, That the members of this House
look upon the confinement of Mr.. Davis as a
State prisoner. and without judicial process,
continued now nearly eighteen months, as
unwarranted by the Constitution and the law
and in the name Of common humanity they
urge his immediate release, or at least, that
speedy trial which every man has right to
claim under the Constitution, when called
upon to answer to the Courts of the country
for his conduct.
Resozued, That this House is DESTROYS that
able members Of the Mississippi bar should
at once proceed to Virginia, and actively en-
gage in the defence of Mr.. Davis, with a
view to his speedy release; and that for such
purpose it is prepared to make the necessary
appropriations. u.a
Resolred, further, That this House pre-
sent to the people Of Mississippi the subject
of providing for the family Of Mr.. Davis, by
such general and liberal contributions from
every county as will ensure to his wife and
children that provision for life which his en-
inent services. his devotion to this State, his
self-sacrifce, his great merits, great present
misfortunes, so impcratively demand; and
which for Mississippi now to refuse would
show her and her sons alike degenerate.

JonN WILKES BoorH.-The papers now
are having much to say about Booth, whether
he be dead OF not John Wilkes Booth was
alive on the 18th day Of July, 1866. The
man who was killed was not Booth, but an
other person murdered in order to obtain the
reward offered for his capture. Time will
unravel a ball of mystery now connected
with this affair, and show up the beauties of
Stanton's detective system. Again we re-
peat earnestly and certainly that John Will
kes Booth never was taken to Washington
either wounded or dead, and that he was
alive in July Of this year. La Crosse Dent

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID.--Atj the outbreak
of the rebellion northen-born woman of firm
Union principles lived in Alabama Her STU
alton was SO critical that her husband sent her
to her friends promising that he would not
take up arms against his country. During the
whole four years Of the war she was unable to
hear from him, until on returning she learned
that he had fallen in the first battle of Bull
Run. She then resolved in her desolation to
devote herself to the welfare of the freedmen
by becoming their tea cher. The Christian Reg
lister tells the story: el ,-.fa go 80
