Tn? Cholera? Its Progress audits cure.? Asiatic Cholera, that terrible scourge of the liu man race in both hemispheres, we are reluctantly compelled to believe, from the latest for eign accounts, is progressing with frightful rapidity eastward, and though no earthly power can stop its resistless course, much may be done to lessen its destructive ravages. The bare probability of its reaching the United Sta'es should operate as a timely incentive, on the part ?f,l,e people, to make every exertion to render the plague as impotent as possible, if it should visit this continent. It would be a great misfortnno >rwleoH wore the Cholera to visit lis now, so unprepared as we are, particularly here, in New York. All summer, ship loads of loreign paupers, eaten up with disease, tarn ine, and filth, have been cast, locust like, upon our shorps, and superadded to abominable filthy streets, what better food in a warm climate can be furnished for so devastating a disease. We observe that in some of the lar?e cities in England and Scotland, as well as in most of those upon the Continent, the municipal authorities are adopting every possible precaution, and instituting every inquiry as to what sanatory measures are best calculated to check the scourge when it visits them and would be well for us to follow their example. It is positively ascertained now, that the Cholera has reached the Greek Islands, and the Government fearing its further progress have issued orders lor the cleaning of the streets, establishing of hospitals and pharmacies, and taken all other hu tnun precautions for its prevention and cure. i_lt '8 pretty clearly ascertained too, that a wellnufBemleated case ot the loathsome disease terminating fatally, broke out on board a British brig bound to Greenock from a port in the Baltic, nnd no wonder therefore, that the circumstance had created considerable alarm in ocouanu, and roused tlie authorities of Edinhurg and Glasgow to the most energetic exertions to promote the cleanliness of the cities. Thus we see, from the Southern provinces of Russia, the disease has extended to the Islands of the Mediterranean. and there is nothing stronger than the probability that it will continue its strides in this direction. The duty of our City C'ouncils, here, and elsewhere, all over the coun try, ;n regard to the action becoming them iu the emergency, is too obvious for us to point out. Early and efficient preparations may save thousands of lives, while if a protecting Providence preserves us from the scourge, our precautionary prudence will have cost us but little. We have taken much interest in the peru-al of an elaborate-series of papers, recently laid before the London Board of Health, which prescribe an alleged infulliable remedy for Asiatic Cholera. It was communicated for publication by a distinguished officer of rank, and long resident in India. The details are exceedingly minute and lengthy, but we shall endeavor to .give a condensed, and comprehensive recapitulation of the material parts, tor the information of our readers. His first information as regards Cholera, we are told, was derived from reading an Arabic work of great antiquity, and the frequent perusal of oriental works on medicine, with a learned native physician of the principal Hakem (physician) of the old Nawah of Oude. The remedies prescribed for the cure of the disease, were carfully written down in his memoranda hook. His narra ivc is thus continued: "When the cholera broke out in Bengal in 1817, it did not till after some time, strike me that it was the same disease of which I had read, and the faith I had in oriental medicine did not shake my confidence in the remedies prescribed by our own medical men. But 1 was at length undeceived: and after long experience, became imnressed with the conviction that no remedy Lad been discovered worthy of reliance, having tried everything, that had been favorably spo. ken of not always indeed without success, but in the main with signal failure, so muck so, that when a case was brought to me, my experience justified no hope, but, on the contrary, complete despair." He was now convinced that this was the dis ease of which he had been reading, and procured information from the source above named and he accordingly determined to try (he remedy prescribed by the Arabian doctors. This he did, and with the most signal success, even in the most aggravated and desperate cases. This ancient remedy for the most destructive disease of either ancient or modern times does not consist of rare or numerous ingredients. They are articles in common use by all the Asiatics, and can be procured easily in Europe and America:?namely, assafcetida, opium, black pepper (pulverized.) We subjoin the receipt without any abbreviation, and commend it at least to the investigation and consideration of practitioners in general, and the Board ol Health in particular: COKE ROR THE CHOLERA. Ingredients?Assafcetida, opium, black pep. per pulverized. Those ingredients, more or less pure, will be found in every town and village. The dose for an adult is from a grain and a kalTtAtiun m-i/l i H>?A a ikill TKic tirwviprllitflr fle ........ ^ the ingredients are pure or otherwise. If pure 11-2 grains will suffice. The medicine should he made up into pills of one dose each, and kept for use in a phial well closed, as it is of great importance to check the disease the instant of its attack. The best mode of administering the pill is not by swallowing it whole, lest it he rejected in that state, but by chewing it and swallowing it with the |moisture of the mouth, aud a very little brandy and water to wash it down. The next best way of administrating the medicine is by * bruising the pill in a spoonful of brandy and water, and then swallowing it. Much liquid must not he given: hut to relieve the thirst which is great, brandy and water by spoonfuls occasionally is the best mode. The dose should be repeated every half or three quarters of an hour according to the urgency of the symptoms until they have been subdued. From three to five doses have gen erally been sufficient for this; although as many as eight have been given before health has been restored in bad cases. Should great prostration of strength prevail, with spasm or without spasm, after the othnsymptoms (vomiting, purging. ?kc.) have been subdued, the medicine must not be wholly Icit off but given half or quarter doses so as to keep up the strength and restore the pulse. Friction with stimulating liniment of some kind, ought to he applied carplully to the stomach, abdomen, and legs and arms; and when pain in the stomach has l>een severer, and there was reason to fear congestion of the liver, eight or ten grains of calomel have been given with good effect. In cases of colapse and great prostration of strength application of the tourniquet to the arms and legs has been recommended, and in order, as it were, to husband the vital power by limiting the extent of the circulation. This may be tried using a ligature ofTape or other substance, if the torniquet be not available. The favorable symptoms of recovery aro re Tai ii mrrnwnrTtrr ? storRlion of the pulse, returning warmth, of the body, and sleep; and after being refreshed by slepp, the recovery being complete, a dose of castor oil may bp given. There are minuteness in detail, and a plausible prescription in all of the above, that must bespeak for it a careful perusal, if nothing more, and we hope it will attract general attention. Cut out the receipt and preserve it and should ever, unfortunately, warrant a trial of its virtues, no harm will come of putting it to the. test at all events. By the way, some of the. Aldermen, a few days since recommended the appointment of a Committee to proceed to Europe fi>r the express purpose of ascertaining every fact in relation to Cholera, and what remedies has been prescribed with the most success. The recommendation may be good enough, but we suggest that we first exhaust what information may be found nearer home.?N. Y. Express. From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, 2d inst. A MAN OVER THE FALLS. Neither fiction nor flirt furnish an incident of more thrilling interest than one which occurred last evening at the Falls, and is detailed below by our correspondent. There is something terribly appalling, almost sublime, in the struggles for life of a strong, self possessed man, when drawn into the torrent that with the speed of a race horsp, sweeps him onward to certain destruction. A moment scarcely elapses between entire safety, and a most fearful death, yet in that moment what a wealth ol life may be compassed. flo.v like lightning must flash through the mind, all the pleasant recollection of childhood, the firm resolves of vigorous manhood, the hopes of the future, the endearments of home and friends, repentance for past errors, and prayers for forgiveness, in that dread presence to which he is so awfully summoned ! "Niagara Falls, Oct. 2,1948. u At about sundown last evening a man was carried over the Falls. Who he was is not known. From his management of the sail-boat in which he came down the river, I think he was not well acquainted with the current or the rapids. His dress and appearance indicated respectability, and after lie got into the rapids, his self-possession was most extraordinary. His boat was a very good one?decked over on the bow, and I should think would carry three or four tons. From what I learn of a sail-boat having been seen below Black Rock, coming down, I think it is from there or Buffalo. No other than a person unacquainted with the current above the rapids would venture so near them. I was 011 the head of Goat Island when I first discovernd the boat?then near half a mile below Navy Island, and nearly two miles above | the Falls. There seemed to be two in the boat. I It was directed towards the American shore? the wind blowing from this shore, and si ill the sail was standing. Being well acquainted with the river, I regarded the position ol the boat as extraordinary and hazardous, and watched it with intense anxiety. Soon I discovered the motion of an oar, and from the changing direction of the boat, concluded it had but one. While constantly approaching nearer and nearer the rapids, I could discover it was gaining tho American shore, and by the time it had got near the fall in the rapids, about half a mile above Goat Island, it was directly above the Island. There it was turned up the river, and for some time tho wind kept it nearly stationary. The only hope scented to be to come directly to (Joat Island, and whether I should run hall a mile to give j alarm, or remain to assist, in the event the boat | attempted to make the Island, was a question of j painful doubt. But soon the boat was turned I to the American shore. Then it was certain it : mu>t go down the American rapids. I ran for I the bridge?saw and informed a gentleman and I lady just leaving the Island, but they seemed unable to reply or move. I rallied a man at the toll gate?we ran to the main bridge in time to see the boat before it had got to the first large fall in the rapids. Then I saw but one man?he standing at the stern with his oar, changing the course of the boat down the current, and as it plunged over, the man sat down. I was surprised to see the boat rise with the mast and sails standing, nnd the man, again erect, directing the boat towards shore. Ashe came to the next and each succeeding fall he sat down, and then would rise and apply his oar in the intermediate current. Still there was hope he would come near enough to the pier to jump, but in a moment I he was goi.'e. Another that he might jump upon the rock near the bridge, hut the current I rlnitiorl liim I'rom it under the bridge, breaking the mast. Again he rose on the opposite side. Taking his oar and pointing lus boat towards the main shore, he cried, 4,hatl I better jump from the boat." We could not answer, lor either seemed certain destruction. Within a few rods of the falls the boat struck on a rock-? turned over and lodged. He appeared to crawl from under it, and swam with the oar in his hand till he went over the precipice. Without the power to render any assistance ?for half an hour watching a strong man strug. gling with every nerve for life, yet doomed with almost the certainty of destiny to an in mediate and awful death, still hoping with every effort lor his deliverance?caused an intensity of exciterncu I pray God never again to experience. THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT. Germany is the land of learned scholars and acute metaphysicians, but in government her most enlightened have no experimental know, ledge, if they arc not versed in practical statesmanship. Her most gifted sons have looked, as the reach of their ambition, to the distinctions and recompense of scholarship, and not to the power and rewards that belong to political life. The whole stream of German intellect, not engaged in the ordinary pursuits of society, having bepn in this manner diverted into the channels of letters and philosphy, there has been little familiarity with the practical exercises or truths of politics. 'Phis creates the difference between the cloistered student and the man of action? between the individual nursed in the contemplation of abstract truth, and he who is constantly engaged in the stern contentions of the tribune, and the animated contests of the election field. Such is the reason, we presume, that Germany in her recent revolution has brought out prominenlly so few of those individuals who give to revolution that character of energy, of intensity, of personal ambition, and strenuous rivalry, which ordinarily distinguished countries emerging from limited freedom into popular sover eigntv. A few minds have taken the lead in her General Congress, but the impression is that 01 leeoieness?01 inertness?01 general mediocracy. Von (iagent has evinced a high order of talent for civil life and action?a capn' city for imparting the spirit of order to delibo. rativc cooncilK--a power to control an uncalctilating zeal for reform hy nraclical sense and a just perception of public interests; but we have seen no evidence in his case of commanding genius, whether for declamation or debate?no proof of possessing thai electrical force of speech which sends the fiery thunderbolt of clo quence through the minds and hearts of a sympathetic auditory. We then miss in the Frankfort parliament the rivalship that brings a nutm ber of gifted men to the same elevated level, The different States of Germany have each, doubtless for itself, sent to that body its full contingent of able men?men who have sounded the depths and explored the. recesses of all human leaning?individuals accomplished in all that academies can teach, books reveal or meditat'on discover; but the lore wqich is learned on Parliamentary theories, in the struggles of ardent minds for mastery and pre eminence? the knowledge of men and affairs which is evoked in the constant collision of intellect and the strife of debate?is not like that which transforms the popular assembly into an arena for discussing unfruitful dogmas in government and impracticable theories of human rights. It is in the conflicts of thoie popular assemblies of which revolution is the parent that we look for the diversity, the power, and the animation that unites reason with imagination and combines with lofty eloquence the wisdom thai is practical. In popular assemblies of the United Stales? as well as those which preceded as those which followed the revolution?their discussions were marked by the intellectual agitation wh'ch re volution invariably enkindles, as well as by a familiarity with the usages of popular bodies which experience imparts?by the struggles for supremacy which, at such periods, animate men of ardent faculties and nearly equal claims to public advancement. The same peculiarities, in a more modified form, have dUtingushed the popular bodies of France since the days of the Constituent assembly. If the eloquence of Mirabeau, in its eagle flight, carried away, at times, the passions with the convictions of that assembly, there was still within its circle of va. lied ability a large number who gave to its debates not merely the fascination of theoretic, but the living energy that kindles debate by the animated rivalship of men of equal intellectual pretensions. There were a few among the Girondists that shared the distinction with Mirabeau of that eloquence that touched the springs of lofty emotion, and several who made a near approach to the splendors of his declamation.? And even now, with such a body of men as compose the present National Assembly, scarcely yet licked into shape, the more life-giving and earnest character of the debates appears to throw into shadow the dull uni fertility and the 1 i- .s .1? n j iail^Hi;i Ul UIV VM IIIJUU 14 I I Ml i in I... The explanation of (his difference is (o lie sought, then, in nothing hut the'want of political education in the representatives of the (ierntan Confederation, who have assembled at Frankfort?in the absence of that Parliamentary experience which the familiar exercise of the functions of animated debate never fails to sup. ply. Germany has locked up her master minds in the fields of abstract speculation and learned research. She has placed (otters on the national mind in thai sphere that summons ambition to the contests of the popular assembly.? She has been content with the crown of glory which is won in academic retreats?in the stu. dies that extend the intellectual dominion of man over the whole domain of human learning; but who can question that if the. jealous spirit of her rulers had permitted her sons to look for the rewards and distinctions of society beyond the narrow limits of the academical cloister, hut that the genius of Germany would have shone forth, in unclouded brilliancy, in the confiicts of the legislative hall or popular assembly. Charleston Evening Ne.ics. Destitution in London.?The police" re. ports in the. London daily papers abound in cases of destitution, distress, arid misery, of which we have hut a faint idea in this country. It is indeed a dreadlul state of things when one desires to work, in order to live, and yet cannot obtain work. From a number of cases in a late London paper, we take the following, which are about an average sample of the whole: "A gaunt, emaciated youth was brought up, charged with having attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself to a lamp post, hut was cut down in season to save his life. He staled that he had no friends, and had endeavored to obtain a living by hawking small articles about the streets; but had gradually been reduced to a atate ofutter deslituiion. He bad been without food for twenty-four hours, and having been repulsed fjom the workhouse door by the attendnnt? tin tirwl niton-nlnrl In tnlfn Ilia nWII life IUld "-I - - Ctins put ail end lo liis miserable. existence, lie was sent back to jail f?r fear that lie might make a second attempt. The next ca?e was that of a seamstress, named Sarah Ladd. She had been entrusted with a halt dozen shirts, which she was lo make at five farthings each, finding her own needles and cotton. Let her work as arduously as she would, she could not make three and one half pence (seven cents) per day; and in a moment of desperation she was inol'ccd to pawn the shirts. A complaint was made against her by her employers, and a policeman Rent to lake her into custody. He found her in a wreteheJ attic, entirely destitute of foot I and furniture, and iyiugon a heap of rags in the corner of the room. The MagisIrate said it was a melancholy case, but as the charge was pressed against her was obliged to commit her." These are not insulate cases, Iiul are ol daily incurrence in that great metropolis of princely riches and squalid poverty. Boston Traveller. llnL'TALITV OF TICK IU1 <11 LANDLORDS.? The London Dispatch gives a heart-rending picture of the work of depopulation now going on in ilie South of Ireland and especially in the County of Liineric and County Clare, under the sepcrvision of landlords. It was stated in a copy of the Liin-'ric and Clnro Examiner, received !)) u former arrival, that one thousand houses had been demolished and the poor inmates thrown upon the world to survive or perish as chance might direct in the union of bulrush, within the space of a few weeks. A later number of the same paper says that three hundred have since been added to the melancholy list-. The very week before the America sailed, twenty three families in Kilrush?comprising more than one bundled humnn beings many of them helpless infants and aged persons? were expelled from their homes which were leveled with the earth by a "wrecking party" under the direction of the landlord and sub sheriff '"In the name of a (Jod of mercy!" says the Dispatch, "will no one put a slop tc these deeds?" The same paper has the following:?"Over one hundred human beings have been cast out on the world's bleak com mon from the estate of Sir William Fitzgerald at Liscannor. The houses are tumbled not the unfortunate people are squuttered by the road-side in huts. They were under tenants t< a middleman named Sheahan, who was ejcctec for non payment of rent-" A poetic lady says: "A gentleman is a liu man being combining a woman,s tcndcrnest with a man's courage." : THE CAMDEN JOURNAL.

The elections are over in this State, and we take occasion to make a few remarks in common, with other?- of our editorial brethren, on the preservation of the purity of the ballot box. Our readers in Kershaw District need not think we are about to lecture than on the subject, for we can honestly say that we never saw, a popular election, conducted with more regard to the principles of order, and sobriety, than the recent elections in this District. For this happy state of things we are doubtless mainly indebted to the manner in which the can. vass has been carried on, by the candidates themselves, and their active friends; much of it liowe. ver, is owing to the people themselves, and we can only exhort them to continue in their efforts to put down forever, all attempts, to buy their votes, by treating, feasting or any other mode of corruption, j To preserve the liberties, so dearly won and handed down to us by our fathers, thf. purity of the Ballot Box vivsg be preserver ! To candidates, to the people, and to all concerned, we return our thanks, for preserving unsullied the fair fame of our District. To future candidates, be they who they may, we have only to say; Follow in the footsteps of your predecessors. Four years hence, the people will in all probability, be called upon for the first time, to exercise a right, hitherto unjustly held from them, viz: to vote for Presidential Klectors, and perhaps for Governor; we now advise them in time, and urge upon every voter in Kershaw, and our neighboring districts to record their solemn pledge, not to vote for any tnan or set of men, who may attempt to gain his or their election, by corruption, in the form of treating, either to ini tnvinatinnr linunrs. or anv thim? else, which may be ...j? ? ?- j O considered I fie price of their votes. We do not believe the citizens of this district, need any exhortalion on this subject, we write for tlie benefit of the people generally, and conceive we are only discharging one of our most important duties in j thus giving "line upon line, and precept upon precept" in behalf of virtue, sobriety and the liberty 1 and happiness of the people. Stnte Elections. Flections have recently been held in Georgia, j Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio?in the first, for members of Congress, in Florida and Pennsylva( uia for Governor and Coi gross, and in Ohio for i Governor and members of the Legislature. fn Georgia, each of the parties have elected four of their candidates, but the popular vote shows a small majority in favor of the democrats. From Florida full returns have not been received, but there appears little doubt that the whigs have carried the State. In Pennsylvania, the whigs are said to have gained two members of Congress, and elected their candidate for Congress. In Ohio, both parlies claim the Governor. The whigs claim a majority of four in the Legislature. The South Carolinian. We omitted to notice at. the proper time that ColoI ncl Summer, had associated with him Mr. CAVis,in , ! the publication of the South Carolinian, Mr. Cavis if a practical printer, and was connected with the Mercury Office in Charleston, for some years. t We observe a decided improvement in the appear, ancc of the Carolinian since Mr. Cavis's connec.. ill, it f"!nlnn??l Summercontinues as editor. i l,u" " ,fc" *v* J Union Shield. , This is I lie name a new democratic papor pubj lished in New York by J. VV. Bell, 178 Fulton st. It ie a large and well printed paper, and its main object seems to be, to defeat the Van Buren faction, and support the nominees of the Baltimore Convention. Wo cannot find its "Terms," but notice that ita first number is published for general ' distribution It is filled with able original political articles. The Democratic Party. What is claimed for the Democratic party in the following extract from the New York Union Shield, with regard to the beneficial results of UaJFederal policy is true to the letter. Not only ro but all that has ever been done for the South, has been accomplished by the same party. They have removed the iniquitous protective tariff, which had well nigh aroused a spirit of rebellion among our people, and have given us a system, yielding ample revenue for the wants of the Government, whilst it oppresses none. They have added to our Southern territories,thus giving power arid security to our institution, and in all cases their "pla form" has recognized our just rights, as sovereign and independent members of the Federal Union. The Democratic Republican parly, is the party of the people, and its defeat would be an evil, to the land. We do not say this as a parlizan, we believe what we 6ay, and there is no sensible or impartial Whig but must confess the truth written herein :? " Originating in the cabinet of the immortal Washington, under the auspices of Jefferson, co-cvally with the birth of the Federal parly, under the paternity of Hamilton, it has been the high honor of the. Democratic Republican party, to have administered the government of our vast confederation, with but brief and few intermissions, from that period to the present hour. It N, therefore, a broad fact which can. not be. impugned, which admits of no dispute, and which must stand forth forever, in the boldest sculpture of our national annals, that whatever of success, of security, of freedom, of hap. piness, of posperily and promise, of national character and glory, that have been acquired by our country in that rapid flight of years, have been acquired, and are now enjoyed, under the ascendant policy of the Democratic Republican party, steadfastly and arduously maintained, in resistance to the directly contrary policy, ever desperately urged by its Federal opponents. If, therefore, it be true that directly opposite effects, it necessarily follows that the national prosperity and ereatness for which our country iR justly J n _ famed (hroughout the world, and which is unexampled in the history of mankind, is dtie to the Democratic Republican policy which has been pursued; could not have occurred had the contrary policy prevailed; and must become impaired from the moment the latter .-hall be adopted " IIT The Peudleton Messenger fays the members elected from that District will vote for neither Cass or Taylor. South Carolina Railroad.?From a publislied statement in the Charlesten Courier, we learn that the earnings of this road during the quarter ending the 30th Sept. of this year ex cceded those for the same period last year $49,760,85. The total revenue from all sources was $173,442 63. Sympathy for tub Blacks on Fkke Soil. ?The condition of the colored population of Philadelphia, is well known to he piiiahlc in the extreme. We learn from a Noithem paper that a number of philanthropic citixens of Philadelphia, in view of the destitution of a portion of the colored population, lately resolved to erect a house of industry for the blacks on the same, ulan as those now existing for the whites. Accordingly a lot was procured, and preparations made to put up the edifice. At the last meeting of the commissioners, however, they gravely passed resolutious declaring that the ,.f itin Kwntcn nl indii?trv '-m/tnifpn/jt a " - - / :/ wanton and reckless disregard of public sentiment, and a contempt for the feelings of the neighboring inhabitants," and that its tendency is 4,to Croats a disturbance." The plan was therefore abandoned, and these miserable beings, thus thrown out of the pale of humanity on Free Soil' Could a more striking commetary be given, upon the real condition and prospects of that class at the North, than this little incident conveys? Columbia Telegraph. Felon Emigrants to the United States. ?It appears from an article in the London Times, that an association exists in that city, a hose object it is to further thp emigration of convicts to the Unted States. The association has a fund to be applied to the payment of the passage of such persons as can shew that they have been guilty of some felonious act. Individua Is of fair chnrarter are excluded from all benefit of this fund. Mr. Jackson is at the head of this association, and is charged with offering every facility for the transportation of criminals to this country. The London Times objects to the proceeding, because it is unjust to the peo. pie of the United States, and because it has the tendency to increase crime in England, as it will induce many persons to commit offences, for tho purpose of obtuining free passage to the United States. Mr. Van Buren, when President, caused an investigation into the subject of felon emigration to be made by the American Consul; the | result of which was, that thp most positive evi dcnce was obtained, that in some parts ot me continent, criminals were sentenced to be transported to the United States, and that the practice was very general, for paupers and criminals to be sent out here at the expense of the local authorities. Notwithstanding these facts are notorious, no effort deserving notice, has been made to prevent this infamous abuse of hospitality?and this country is made the great lazar and depot of criminals for the world. Unless the general and local authorities of the United States take effective measures to prevent thede. signs of the London association from being practically carried out, and to prohibit pauper and lelon emigration from all quarters, we shall have an infusion of corruption and villiany into the society of this country destructive of public morals and ruinous to the general welfare. Bi.oouy Murder in Ohio.?The citizens Roscoe, Ohio, were thrown into the greatest excitement on Thursday, the 29th ult., by the commission of one of the most deliberate murders ever recorded. A Mrs. Wades, who with her husband, boarded at Jones' Hotel, in Roscoe was engaged in washing, and a German, who ...?o Vwio11?r,.t tl.o Hotel, and who calls himself John Thomas Carhart, was requested by the landlady to briny water for M rs. Wades. He brought some, and in a few minutes someone chanred to go into the room where Mrs. Wades had been occupied, and discovered blood upon the floor. Search being immediately made, she was found in a cistern in the same room. Upon getting the body from the cistern, sho was found to have received a deep wound upon the lelt sido of the neck, which must have kill* ed her instantly. An axo was found nonr by with blood upon it, which appeared to have been partially wiped ofF. Carhart was soon found at work In the barn with some blood upon his clothes, and upon one place on his pantaloons were traces of blood, evidently wiped from some instrument, and which had beon partially wash, ed off. Blood was also found upon a fork in - - . T . 1 * the baro, as from the hands. Cash art was immediately lodged in jail, and denies the commission of the murder. Mr. Wades had lately opened a drug store in Ro?coe, and Mrs. Wudes had been there only three or tour days. She was rery highly esteemed. No cause is assigned for the. bloody deed* CONSUMPTION. This terrible disease is commonly attributed to oar climate. But if the climate were to bhuwc the disease would have been iufflicled on that; and not upon the people.

The deceased was for a number of jrenra, a member of the Church of Christ; evidencing by her life the truth practically, that thegoopel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. Her departure from ibis world will be often brought to mind because of her j absence from the chamber of the sick; as, when it was in her power to obey them, the afflicted always shared the promptness of her philantfcrw- 4 pic heart. She is gone, who conversed with the generation the most of whom are silent in the grave, and that which is now filling the active walks of life. But we on earth sorrow not as those without hope, as we are sure that she, with many of her old acquaintances, rejoice in Heaven. In Camden, on tie 25th ult., David Eckbb, of bili >us Fever.
