PROGRESS OF THE WEST "A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette writes:
Seventy. three years ago the first boat start
ed from Cincinnati up the Ohio. 1t was bullet
proof equipped with two cannon and small
arms. The round trip to Pittsburg was made
in about four weeks. At that time the Queen
City was mere military post, which three
years afterwards only contained live hundred
inhabitants. Pittsburg was little nest of un-
clean birds, built away up in the forks of tins
great highway of nature, and between these
two points wilderness stretched on either side
of the river whose wild grandeur was only EN-
phasized by the two or three dots which had
been made by the forerunners OF coming clvlll-
zation. Seventy-three years ago! and Fort
Washington, with population Of two or three
hundred, is Cincinnati with population OF
$4,000; Pittsburg is no longer 4 nest, but 1t
Is great city whose breath OF smoke and thou
sand tongues of fame heat the very atmoS-
phere that surrounds it; The two or three dots
of civilization between those two points have
multiplied into hundred and ten thriving
cities and villages, all palpitating with the ln-
dustry OF thrifty and prosperous people The
steamers that now ply the river, could they all
be brought together, would make floating
city in which a hundred thousand people could
dwell with comfort.
The MYSTERY OF CHoLERA.-The present
manifestations of cholera in this country do not
tend to lessen the absolute mystery Of the dis
ease. Its grim secret seems past finding out
is raging in central Kansas and in some parts
Ct the Indian Territory with the same virulence
that attends its attacks on large and neglected
cities. One would think that the primitive
freshness Of the earth, and sweetness of the
air on the plains, would expel the epidemic, or
at least lessen its deadliness. Out there no
sewers or foul streets and slums breed conta.

proof against cholera But he dies Of it with
as swift decline as pale faced child bred in
crowded alley. About all we know of chol-
ira Is that 1t is a great circumnavigator and

If there is one American citizen who
can read the letter of General Pope to
Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, of Gen.
Sickles to General Clitz, and the warn.
ing of General Schofeld to the Richmond
Times, and yet not feel his blood boil in
every artery, be is more to be pitied than
any citizen of the PROSTATE, helpless
South. 1t is more degraded to be insen-
sible than to suffer.
Despotism has its logies as we'll as
liberty. Pope, Sickles and Schoheld
make no false steps in theirs. 1t is not
inconsistent with the military despotism
established by the Reconstruction act of
the late Congress; it is in perfect accord
ance with that partizan, vindictive, and
law defying enactment that General
Pope uses the " iron heel to convince
the Governor of Georgia that he may not
await decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in pending litiga.
ton before advising his people what their
duties are on the gravest OF all questions
that can concern them; it is quite in ac-
cordance, too, with that military des-
potism established by Rump law that
General Sickles should with his Iron
heel deseerate the American flag, the
symbol of our freedom and national pride,
by making it Gesler's cap for every
Charleston fireman to salute, will they,
will they it is the natural consequence
of that particular act of Congress also,
destined never to cease to be infamous
in our annals, that General Schofeld
should turn his iron heel on the
printing presses of Richmond, free
city of free men, in a free State ofa free
government of thirty millions of .treemen.

Whig, Of yesterday, comes out with some
specific charges against Col. John Bax'
ter. Brownlow says Of that gentleman (;
He was once candidate for the rebel
Congress in this District, and was shame
fully defeated by brother rebel Now,
il our information is correct and we
challenge Brounlow to deny iD, Col
John Baxter was a candidate for the
rebel Congress, and we charge further
that Col. Baxter was a candidate at the
earnest solicitation, and by the ddrice
of William g. Bro1HlOto, Icho, at that
time, pledged himself 10 support fhe
Southern Confederacy at as early, an
opportunity as he could do so ioithont
disgracing himself in the eyes Of 6ofh
parties, and we charge, further, that
William G. Brownlow, in two issues OF
September, 1861, did take grounds to
support the Southern Confederacy, and
had it not have been for the coldness
shown Brovnlow by the rebels, and the
earnest pleadings Of Judge Trigg and
Col John Williams to prevent him join.
ing the rebel cause, Brownlow would
have done as he contemplated at that
time, and Joined the Southern Confed-
eracy. .
These are things that time and again
have been represented to US as true and
undeniable.- The facts are beyond our
knowledge, but our authority we believe
reliable, and we believe all these charges
will be sustained. Citizens Of East Ten
nessee, is not this man Brownlow a choice
spirit to call Emerson Etheridge a rebel
candidate for Governor Was there
ever such inconsistency known to mortal
man We think there are some glass
houses to be broken ere long -KnoE' :
