AT PADUCAH,

A letter written to the Clarksville
Tobacco Leaf, Of the twenty-fifth, says
the cholera was raging to a considerable
extent, almost creating a panic. Many
citizens were leaving the town, and
business was almost suspended. From
the last information there had been
twenty-five or more cases, and every
one was trseeable to some imprudence,
eating vegetables and fruits, drinking
ice-water, lager-beer and bust-head
whisky. r. L. Cobb, Esq, connected
with the tobacco warehouse of Kay,
Cobb & Sehree, became a subject of the
dreadful disease from the simple act of
eating dewberries. We met him on
Monday, seemingly in perfect health,
actively engaged in the business of the
house, and the next day he was q corpse.

From the foregoing it viii appear that
the leyee dues collected viii average
S224, S25 % per annum, and that the av-
erage annual cost Of whsrves and land
ings Including improvement of batture
and building AID repairing wharvesl is
S54l SO o. The collection of these
levee duties is ATTENDED with no incon-
siderable expense, requiring the services
OF four wharfin gers, at SlS00 a wear each,
and five deputy whariiugers, four at
$1,000 each, and one at $500. The total
of this expense is SI2, 800 per annum,
reducing the net proceeds from levee
dues down to S232, 225 20. In estimat-
ing what free port would cost us, mas
much as the amount received from as
s.ssments on commerce falls far short
of the expense of providing accommo-
datiOns TO vessels, it would not be i'm
proper to say that the city BOW denies
itself whatever advantages might come
from declaring the port free for the COM
paratlveiy incOnsiGerable sum of S232,-
225 20, since this is the net amount real
lied by the city from that source. To
declare the port q free one, however,
would cost the city a much larger sum,
unless the keeping of wharves was al
lowed TO become a matter of private en-
terprise, the owners of batture property
being allowed, or required upon condi-
uous, TO build wharves of their own.
Chicago Is a free port, and the wharves
arc private property, and when vessel
comes into port the master contracts for
a wharf for the discharge of his cargo.
The owner Of the wharf, having a ware
house receives the cargo, delivers it and
collects all the bills. If it be assumed,
however, that the city should continue
10 make and repair the wharves and
landings, and provide all the machinery
70 regulate the landing Of vessels, and
the loading and unloading of the same,
and should do this without eXacting any
dues whatever from vessels, it would
cost the city approximately as follows:

from A. II. Van Houten, grocery wagon from VIII

but really SOME work on the history OF moo-
ern Europe ought to be forwarded to the
black King OF Elmina, to show him that,
despite the Geneva award ana the loss OF
San Juan, we still retain great deal OF our old
dignity and Q large number OF miscellaneous
islands The Elmina tribes are included in the ter
ritory lately coded to as by the Dutch, and their
habits ana customs are not very good. They are
always fighting with the FanJees, and they aver
that the latter-who have been to some extent
under our protection-are invariably the aggres-
sors. Recently our oficials went into the Eimina

words. "we have fought and conquered the Fan

to accept the conquered nags II they had con-

That we should live to hear our beloved banner

console ourselves with the hope that our dusky

were very few In proportion to their enemies, and
that several OF them died In defending II. II this

lection That on that coast death Is not very TIM
