The SOUTHERN ORPHAN RELIEF ASso-
CITATION FAIR IN BALTIaoRE.-The lady
managers OF the fair to be opened at the
Maryland Institute Hall on Monday next
for the purpose Of raising funds to build
an orphan asylum in Richmond are busily
engaged in pcrtecting their arrangements.
1t is gratifying to know that donations arc
being daily received, and that some OF
them are y quite a substantial character.
This Association, it should be borne in
mind, is separate and distinct organiza-
tion from the Mary Southern Relief
Association, whose have been here
tofore so etlectual" nV lleving The necessi-
tous and starving people of the South.
The lady managers Of the latter Asso-
citation, it is understood, whilst desirous OF
aiding in every possible way the Orphans
Association, have also projects Of their
own on foot looking to the further reliefoi
the needy and suffering women and chill
dren. The ladies of both Associations
merit all praise, and have the best wishes
of all parties not entirely void Of feeling
for their success. That success will crown
their efforts there can be little doubt, for
when the women of Baltimore and of the
State generally put their hearts and hands
TO good work "there is no such word as
fail,"-Suu, 9th.

THE CASE or YoUNG BRITTINGHAM.-
Mr. w. +. Brittingham, who was released
from confinement in the penitentiary on
Wednesday. and turned over to the Mayor
under a writ of haJcas corpus issued by
Judge Lyons, was brought before the
Mayor yesterday, and his cause heard.
General Wise, counsel for the defendant,
argued the case for some moments. He
contcuded that according to the finding Of
the military commission the accused was
not guilty of the charge Of homicide. In
the succification Of the charge it was put
forth that the accused did, on such day,
feloniously, uulawfully, and with malice
aforethought, shoot negro man. The
court could only agree that he was guilty
Of the specification in all except the words
fcloniorsly, unlawfully, and with malice
aforcttoucht. And upon this finding he
was sentenced to be punished as COM
mon fclon. lie continued to argue, and
concluded by asking the discharge Of his
client, putting forth that, in addition to the
Injustice that had been done him, there
was danger in his being sent to Elizabeth
City county.
His Honor said that in what he was about
to do with the case he would have no re-
ference to the condition Of another county.
He would act in this as he would in any
other where q man was brought before him
on suspicion. There was nothing in the
case to prove the young man guilty OF any
charge. He had examined the record, and
could find no evidence there. Had there
been any, Judge Lyons would never have
sent the case to him. He had no power TO
send him to another county, and he would
therefore discharge him.
Young Brttingham was then released,
and, thanks to the restoration of civil law,
is now where military commissions and
such like despotic institutions cannot
reach him.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH on THE
'CHoLERA.-We give below the report Of
the Board of Health on the cholera in the
CITY. 1t will be seen that there has been
since Monday but seven cases, and these
were generally the result of imprudence.

RICHMOND, September 6, 1866, I
O'Clock ?. NJ.
Sir,-We respectfully report that since
our last communication, Of August Il,
several cases OF Asiatic cholera have oc-
Cured within the city limits. One case
was reported as having occurred on Mon
day last, on Canal between Fourth and
Fifth streets one on Tuesday, on Main
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets three on Wednesday, one of which
occurred near the city Jail, one at corner
of Main and Twenty third streets, and one
at corner of Main and Twenty fourth
streets. Two cases are reported as having
occurred to-day: one on Second street
between Arch and Byrd streets, and one
on board Of vessel in the dock.
Imprudcncc in diet appears to have been
the immediate cause of the disease in a
large majority Of these cases.

The ATTRACTIONS OF BRATTLEBoRo
By Henry M. Burt, late editor of the
Northampton Free Press and Vermont
Record This is a neat little book of over
100 pages just issued at Brattleboro, and
the publisher has our thanks for a copy
which we have read with much interest
and relish, perhaps more SO from having
formerly been resident Of that place
The attractions of Brattleboro are many,
and the beautiful scenery is seldom sur
passed in any country. This book has
brought them out in convenient form, and
it will be of special interest to the summer
tourist who can consult these pages and ut
once become intelligent as to TIE locality
Such book is always help and pro-
moter of the business and intelligence of
any place. When Louis Kossuth came to
this country in 1852, among the first
! things be did on visiting a place was to
procure book containing the history of
the locality in which he was stopping, and
then when he addressed the people he was
familiar with their own affairs a, well as
his own. This enabled him in bis speeches
to come nearer to the understanding and
feelings of his audience. and contributed
largely to his popularity with our people
and to the enthusiasm with which he was
received. There are several fine illus
trations in the book, which adds much to
its value and interest. The view Of
Brattleboro from Cemetery HIP is ex-
,eeedingly fine and would be good copy
for a painting. Mr.. Burt has performed |
good service in getting out this work, |
and we congratulate him on his succe -
The price of the book is 60 cents per
copy, and will be sent by mail on receipt
of price. Address II. NJ. Burt, Braulr-
boro, VT.
