NOTES OF WARNING.-We are informed
on good authority, that several parties IN
Newbufg, who made themselves conspicu7
Gus as Union men during the rebellion, have
received letters fromsKentueky, warning
them of danger, and threatening dire ca
lamities if they do not leave the border. II
is said that Eon. L. @. DeBruler has re-
ceived letter stating that threatening let
tiers had been sent to certain parties in
Newburg-to the effect that their property
would be burned, and themselves violently
treatedif they did not remove. aat :
z Among the parties named areour friends
Union Bethel, Mr.. Williams and George
Bullet, the latter of whom had received his
tender epistle. We cheerfullys exhonerate
the good people of Kentucky, and there are
many such, from any sympathy with these
mover ants. But there are in that State
many returned guerrillas and rebels, whom
the recent movements and declarations of
President Johnson have embroidered to
such work-men who have nothing at
stake, and who have no respect for law
and who will stop at no outrages which
they believe they can commit with impu-
nifty. The abduction and cowardly murder
of Lieut.. Hampton was one ofthe out-crop-
pings of this spirit, and others will follow
whenever fitting opportunity occurs. Let
1 the rebel spmpathisers at the North come
into power, and such Outrages will become
an every day occurrence. h5I18ui

WICKED REPoRrs AND RUMoRs.- We
almost daily are RECALLED with rumors and
reports of one kind and another, which,
upon tracing up, we find to be wholly with
out truth or foundation. The most wicked
and senseless of these are reports that this
man and that has died with the cholera,
or is down with the disease. We have FREE
quentIy been startled by the report that
sone well known friend or acquaintance
either has the cholera or has died, and per-
haps in an hour we meet the man, reported
dead, in his usual health, and pursuing his
ordinary ayocations.. On Wednesday eve
ming, we were told, very Confidently, that
Mr.. Nesbit, of the firm of Mackey, Nesbit
& Co., had the cholera. Upon inquiry, I'VE
hear he is suffering from intermittantf e-
yer, and we have heard Of several similar
cases. Now, the authors of these false ru-,
mors are acting very wickedly and very
foolishly, and, if it were possible, they
should be punished. oaiA - n
We have published all the cases of chol-
era that have occurred in this city this sea-
son. There have just been five cases, two
lof whicnpt3gea fatqI8 And soheabf these
cases might have been cured had applica-
ton been made to a physician in time, but
it was neglected until the patient was in
state of collapse. We get our information
from the highest source of authority ON the
subject, and propose to keep our readers
fully advised on the subject. bga
