haze prisoners to kill, and turpentiae, coal oil,
&c ready to burn the town in case they are
attacked. Upham boldly says that if he and
his party are not enough to crush out the PEG.
pie and take possession of the country, that
Clayton will send enough. The only answer
that he vouchsafes to the citizens who remon.
strate with him Committees having waited on
him for that purpose) is "You have no civil

sent here to carry out orders, and l am going
to do it. intend to disarm all citizens and

For twelve months an epidemic has been
raging in our midst, which for . long time
bsfied the skill of cur medical meH and the

their population and their peculiar mode Of
living, they are subject to many diseases al.
most unknown among the Caucasian race, to
which We are rendered puculiarly liable by
the intro auction of Chinese into our hotels,

1t has been objected to our association that
