malignity in every section ot our country.—
The number of deaths arc comparatively few,
and from present indications it is but reasona
ble to suppose that it will soon be wholly ex
terminated. la St. Louis, t lest accounts, but
four deaths had occurred in one week. In
Cincinnati, it is still prevailing to some ex

The editor of the Lancaster Tribune, who
lately paid Lewistown a visit, pays the follow

*• Unlike most places of its size, Lewistown
boasts several very fine Hotels, one of the very
be.-.tot which is that of Mr. MOVER, fronting
on the Public Square, and immediately oppo
site the Court House. The Hotel itself is a
very fine looking building, with elegantly fur
nished parlors an 3 sitting rooms, and having
wtiat is of still more importance to the travel
ler, large and well ventilated chambers, with
clean and comfortable beds. The table is lib
erally supplied witli every thing that is desira
ble, and the landlord himself is a quiet, gentle
manly fellow, whom you like at the first
glance, and from whom you part with reluc
tance. He has, besides, the merit of being
originally from Lancaster-—having formerly
resided in Marietta—and lias therefore a claim
upon the patroimge of euch of our people as
may travel that way, apart from the excellency
of his hotel. We speak from experience w hen
we say that his house tms no superior any
where out of Philadelphia."
A laige and enthusiastic meeting of the

Ul'R DUTY.
The tall election is rapidly approaching,
end soon the political contest will begin. It
becomes the duty of tire Whig party to recon-
NOITRE —TO LOOK about AND see how things STAND
—BEE whether the next election can BE car
ried. The next will be no ordinary election.
| Th<? vacancy produced by the expiration of Mr.
Power's term, in the Canal Board, will have
to be filled—members of the Legislature will
: be voted for —and the Locofocos, who have
met a disastrous defeat, will arouse
themselves to action as in the days of yore, and
to meet them we must be prepared.
It becomes the duty of every Whig voter,
who desires to see Whig rule perpetuated, to
go to werk, and organise for an important con
test. The victory gained last Autumn, has
shown the people that when the Whigs are
determined, they can be successful, no mat
ter what odds they have to contend against.—
Then we had all the influence of the Nation
al and State Administrations to combat with;
now we have obtained possesion of those for
tresses, and it is our bounden duty to maintain
them at all hazards. It is time, then, it we
want to reap the benefits t/fthe late victory—
if we desire the measures (or which we con
tended at the last election enacted—to look
calmly at the importance of the coming con
test, and arouse ourselves is action. It mist
not he concealed, that the Locofocos will make
a stout resistance, fight desperately, and leave
nothing undone which will work to their suc
cess. We have reason to believe, that, like
demagogues, they are already at work, barely
coalescing with various factions of certain
places, to promote the success of their party
and men. Will the Whigs ofthia county;
who so nobly came to the rescue at the last
election, hang back, when we must but reiter
ate iHp sentiment* to which we gave expres
sion last fall. Think of these things, friends,
and answer when the timeshall come. — Schuyl
kill Miners Journal.
ARE ALL AT WORK.
The time haa now arrived for every Whig
to he active. By an united and concerted ef
fort wc niayelect Henry Al. Fuller Canal Com
missioner, and secure a Whig majority in the
State i-egisiature. By remaining idle a few
weeks longer, we shall wake up to a sense of
our danger w hen it is to late to secure a full
attendance of our Whig friends at the polls.—
Lot it not be urged ttiat wc cannot succeed,
and that there is therefore no use in making
the effjrt. The history ot the past shows tiic
fallacy of such an opinion. Pennsylvania was
carried for the lamented Harrison in 1"?40, and
again for James M. Power in IMb. In Oc
tober I"4S, the Whigs again triumphed with
Gov. Johnston as their candidate, and in No
vember following gave a majority of 14.000 lor
Gen. Taylor. Let uo one therefore excuse his
negligence and indifference, with the ground
less assertion that we cannot succeed. Let all
go to work and see that the proper organiza
tion is had to secure a full Whig vote. This
need but be accomplished to elect Mr. Fuller
by a greater majority than that given for Gen-
Taylor; for it must be borne in mind that
Mr. Gamble cannot, under any circumstances,
receive as Urge A vote as that cast for Gen.
Cass.
There remains now but a brief mouth to or
ganize our forces and prepare them for the day
of election. If we wish to succeed, wc must
go to work now. We cannot afiord to lose
another day. The preparatory steps for effi
cient organization have already been too long
delayed. Let us now arous) to our duty, and
from henceforth labor we were wont to do
in '-16 and'-IS, and there can be no douU
j wc shall again triumph.
FELLER'S POPILARITT. —The popularity of
our candidate for Canal Com miss tone r, Mr Pul
ler, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, maybe infer
red from the position he occupies at home, in
Luzerne county, and from the fact, that fie was
elected to the Legislature last fall by the peo
ple of that county, which has usually given a Lo
cofoco majority of from eight hundred to one
thousand, by a majority of alnxod fourteen humlrcd
win ' We may well be proud of such a nomi
nee.
i FROM EVERT portion of our commonwealth,
we are in the receipt of good news with regard
to the coming election. The nomination of Mr.
Fuller, appears to have infused a new spirit in
to the party and aroused its members to action.
The election i* pregnant with importance, and
we expect to see every Pennsylvania:! do his
duty.
RTIODT IJTLAND KLBCTION.— Nathan I\ Dixon,
the whig candidate for Congress in tins State,
was elected by a majority of over GOO. This
is another whig gain, the District having
been heretofore represented by loeofoeof, and
i the change is only -attributable, says the Provi
dence Journal, to the " depression of the man
ufacturing and mechanical business," and the
conviction'that such a state ot affairs "couid
not be relieved without a change in the pre
sent revenue laws."
MASS MEETING TO RECEIVE THE PRESIDENT.
A mass meeting of the people of the city

' J KEVTOCEY LKGIHIATURK. —The Frankfort
( "Commonwealth" gives returns, official and
reported, by which it appears thnt tfie wliigs
, have a majority of -übout 30 on joint ballot in
, the Legislature.
V \ At a meeting of the editor* of the 10th Con
f rretJional district, held on the 520 th ult., Col
- I "W H Hutter W:J* chosen to represent the dis
j trict in the Fditor.ai State Convention.
The truths expressed in the following arti
cle of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, on
the subject of the late elections, are so much
to the |njint, that we are induced to give it a
spuce in our columns:
TIIE LATE ELECTIONS.
"There be vanquished who are victors."and
never is the maxim of the poet truer in its ap
plication, Than when it is used in connection
with the defeut of a party, which has sacrificed
its majorities, to an adheratice to principle,
in an opposition to the basei interests ol its
antagonist. The rocent assertion ofthe North
ern Whig press, that the liberal feeling upon
Slavery-extension, in the South, was monopo
lized by that section of the Whig party, has
been lolly borne -out by the late elections in
that quarter. The Northern partisan who
can rejoice at the result of those elections,
shows his recreancy to tho principles ol free
dom. The shout of triumph, however, has gone
up. Northern Ijocofbcoism has re-asserted its
unity with the ultra slavery spirit of the South,
and the Democracy of t lie Free Slates has, once
more, ho wed subserviency to the despotic rpir
it which has so long held it in disgraceful bond
age.
Eight Whigs should have been elected to
Congress in Kentucky, yet three ol the eight
have been lost, and why ? Simply, because the
most prominent and influential \\ lug in the
State was an avowed Emancipationist, ami the
Congressional Candidates ot his party were
more or less tinctured with his spirit: while
every Locof'oco paper, and every prominent 1 xi
oofoco politician committed themselves, body
and soul, to the perpetuation of slavery in their
own Stale, and the extension of their peculiar
institution to all new territory, without limit.—
These are undeniable facts, and let them be
marked. SLAVERY has given the new vic
tories to Ixicofocoisni in Kentucky. The fact
is recorded, and Northern Democracy is wel
come to it, in ali its length and breadth.
Loud rejoicings have also been held
over the meager majority which has elected
Edward Stanley ot North Carolina. \\ by that
meager majority! Simply because by bis lib
erality of principle, voting against tho odious
gag-rule and lite Si ivory extension resolutions
of the legislature of (us own State, he bad
demonstrated los devotion to the cause "friglit
and humanity. What causes for rejoicing by
the free Democracy ofthe North!
Cut tlie causes for rejoicing 6top not here.—
In Kentucky, Aylett Buckuer. the Southern
advocate in Congress of tho Wiimot Provi
so, and John l\ Gaines who introduced a bill,
at the last session ot Congress, for the aboli
tion ot slavery in the District of Columbia,
have been beaten by rabid Slavery-extension
ixKofbcos. Humphrey Murshall, stigmatized
as an abolitionist, Ims been elected, it is true,
in the Ixiuisvillo District: but by a majority
that has been a grateful subject of congratula
tion, among the Northern Ixicotoco ranks. —
Another cause tor rejoicing, just as legitimate
ns these, is found in the defeat, through Ixico
foco influences, of every Emancipation Candi
date to the Kentucky Conventien.
ll is a delightful concert —the magnificent
Duitt of the Democratic party. North arid
South. The jSasliviUc Union, the leading 1.0-cofoco
cofoco paper of Tennessee, gives a column of
triumphant. music over the result of elections
in that Stale, and very obligingly explains the
cause of the triumph. It elates that the de
feat of Neil S. Brown, the Whig candidate
fur Governor, was attributable to his opposition
tonne of the resolutions of the Democratic Con
vention. And what was the resolution 1 Re
sistance to the Wilmot Proviso t and ail kin
dred measures, at at! hazards, arid to the last
extremity. Because Neil S. Brown opposed
this incendiary resolution, he tailed in Ins elec
tion and the shouts of the "fierce Democracy"
went up in Tennessee, and found an eclio in
the hearts of the free Democracy, a!! over the
Union, and re-verberated among the green lulls
of "Free Soil" Vermont! The echo ceat>cd
not iiere, hut sweeping backward in its track
it bioppcd in Indiana, directly across the r,v
er trorn old Kentucky, and joined itself to the
shout cl a District of Locofocos, who, by join
ing themselves to the "Free Sobers," h-d elec
ted Geo. W. Julian, a Van Bureuite,over Sam
uel W. Parker, Whig.
We repeat the maxim: "There be vanquish
ed who are victors," and though we could have .
wished for a stronger Whig ascendancy in the
House, than, by the best fortune, we shall ;
obtain, we cannot look upon our reverses in the
Slave States a-any thing lecs lhau a high mor
al triumph. The position ot the two parties
of the country has been unmistakably defined.
The Southern Kncufocos are the Slaveiy-ox
tensionists ot" the South. Slavery-extension is
the ground upon which they hove (ought and
won "their recent battles. It is undeniable.—
Northern Locofocos have demonstrated tiuir
liollow-heartednesss, by professions of Free
Soii principles, and yet rejoicingover the de
feat of the friends of Free Soil at the South.
MonTai.iTT tv YORK, PA.—'the York Advo
cate gives a melancholy account of the state of
health in that borough. It states that from four
to eight persons have died daily, principally
children, from diarrhcca and dysentery. The :
physicians arc kept so constantly employed that
it is difficult, even in the most urgent casts, to
obtain their immediate services. The number j
of cases were, however, at last accounts, fast j
decreasing.

Sangamon (111.) Journal, of the Gth inst., a lain
ify in Mason county, iri that State, consisting of j
nir.e persons, were attacked witfi cholera, all of
whom died but one child. The surviving child
was removed by the neighbors, and the house

ARRIVAL or THE CALEDONIA.
Austriv and llckcary. —The intelligence by
this arrival is of little importance, except that
part of it referring to the progress of the allied
| lmperia'ists in the war waging upon Hungary.
1 An engagement between the Hungarians under
| Gorgey, and the Russians at ISJishkolz, on the
left bank of the river Sajo had been reported ;
but the result of the battle was left doubtful.—
We now learn that the engagement was one of
fhe most important of the whole war, and, so
far as is yet known, though unattended with
any decisive result, the advantage seems to
have remained with the Hungarians. After the
battle of Waitzcn, in which Gorgey succeeded
in breaking the line of the combined armies and
effecting his retreat, Prince Paskiawitsch des
patched tien. Gralibe in pursuit of him. On
! the 22d of July he reached Losonz, but found
that Gorgey had quitted that place with his
rear guard that very day. The next day he
j continued the pursuit, and on the 2ith fell in
with the Hungarian General with a force of
thirty thousand men, strongly posted at Misb
kolz. Meantime General Paskiewitsch bad al
so sent three other regiments against the Hun
garians and an attack was at once commenced
hy the Russian division under Czeodajetf. The
battle lasted three days with varied success, the
fortune of war being equally divided between
the combatants. On the 26th, however, Gor
gey withdrew his army.
The correspondent of the London Chronicle
says, that he 'gave in,' representing it as a de
feat ; —but the Times says that 'Gorgey, whose
manoeuvres are wont to puzzle his antagonists,
quitted his position and marched in the direc
tion of Tokay.' At all events the Russian Gen
i cral Grabbe w as sent in pursuit and crossed the
Tlieiss at Tissa Fured. His march was one of
immense difficulty, the route lying over morass
es, atid the bridges having been destroyed by
the Hungarians. The Russians at last jtireeed
i ed in crossing the river, though in a sad plight
and with the entire loss of their baggage : they
forthwith commenced throwing entrenchments
around the position which they had taken up.
Here our latest accounts leave them. The
Times, in an editorial article, speaks of the issue
as decidedly ur favorable to the Russians, ft is
also stated that the intelligence received at Vi
enna by special courier from the carnp of Prince
Paskiewitsch was not allowed to transpire.—
This is the sum of aU the intelligence from that
part of the Hungarian army under Gorgey on
the Upper Theiss. General Paskiewitsch reach
ed Debreczin on the 22d of August, and took
possession of that place without opposition.
' The second edition of the Times' on Friday,
states that there was a private report at Vienna
on the 12th, of a great battle between the Rus
sian General and Dembiuski, having been fought
during two days between Debreczin and Gross
wardein, in which Paskiewitsch was defeated.
Rut this was only a rumor and might prove un
true.
From iszegedin no accounts had been receiv
ed i* Vienna for tbp iast six days, and none of
Prince Paskiewitsch for above four days. It is
worthy of remark, that the intelligence which
the last courier brought from the Prince's camp
on the 7t'n inst. was not allowed to transpire :
ft was privately -tuted at Vienna that the Rus
sian Marshal has had two days' battle with Dcm
binslfi. This battle is asserted to have takan
place bet ween Debreczin and Grosswardein.
Our correspondent has received intelligence
from Rum. of the 7th inst. The imperialist ar
inv at that place had been reinforced,anci it was
believed that the Man was at Mossorin M. Kos
suth was on Ist inst. at Perlaz, and on the 3d
he went to Panczova.
It was believed at Vienna that the Imperial
ist army which has been concentrated to oppose
the progress of the Hungarians from Comoro,
would begin to act 0:1 the 13th inst. Ihe Kol
ner Zritung states that the city of Raab has been
occupied bv a large Hungarian force, which
form* part of General Aulich's army. Weisel
burg has bc<-n evacuated bv the Imperialist gar
rison, and the Hungarian ilirssars have entered
the place, though they have not yet taken pos
session of it. The road of Stuhlweissenburg
and Pesth is likewise in the hands of the Hun
garians, for Hussars and Honvcds made their
appearance at Vcsspriru.
Large bodies of Hungarians (it is stated no
less than 15,000) advanced in the island of Shutt
to Sommer.dn, and some of the Hussars have
txen pasM'd through tli€ *ubcrbs ** Pn*s*bunj.
All the towns and provinces of Austria have
been drained of the last troops which could be
spared to collect an efficient garrison for Pres- j
burg, and 25,009 men, most ot" them young
troops, were got together, and even they are wo- :
fully in want of horses and artillery. Presburg
cannot, there lore, be pronounced to be sale, and
Vienna too ;■< in danger of a visit from the Hus
sars. The condition of the imperialist armies j
would indeed be desperate it the late rumors
of a defeat which Prince Paskicwitch suffered
between Dcbrazin and Grosswardein were to
prove true.
The above comprises an outline of all the in
telligenec relating to the principal operations
of the week. The sortie of the Hungarians from
the fortress of Comorn seems to have been a
most energetic and important movement. The
losses of the Imperialists in killed and wounded ,
and in captured men and cannon, was much
greater than was at first reported. The cap
ture of Itaah is also fully confirmed. The re
treat of the Imperialists from that city was ail
but a race, in which the soldiers cast away their
muskets, swords and knapsacks, v. liile the Rus
sians arrived at Presburg in their shirt sleeves.
Rumor speaks ot five battalions ot foot which
are. missing, and those among the Imperialists ;
that have been actually engaged bear the rnark< <
of the satires of the formidable Hussars. The
impression which these reverses produced at
Vienna is profound and lasting.
A letter from Rome of the f>th instant say? :
' Our capital, so perfectly tranquil during the
last fortnight, has suddenly resumed a warlike
appearance, f'orps of cavalry and infantry arc
encamped during the night on the principal
squares; the horses are saddled, and the guns
loaded. Four pieces of artillery arc pointed on
the Piazza del Popolo, towskrds the three great
streets, the Corso, % ia Repelto, and \ia del
Itabuino. Squadrons of cavalry, and strong
detachments of infantry patrol at night the
streets of the city. Gen. Oudinot, on being
informed of the measure reducing by one-thifd
the value of the paper money, and anxious to
prevent a popular insurrection, asked that the j
decree should not be posted up through the
town ; but tho Pontifical Commission placed un
der hi* c\ s his declaration of the day betorc,
by which he resigned all his power into Un
hands of the delegates of the Holy Father, and
the general was obliged to allow the promulga
tion of the decree.'
The other acts of the Pontifical Commission
are equally ominous. They comprise the iV
establishmctit of the €olo*loslloßl courts ; the
abolition of all laws enacted since the Gtli of
November, 1848; the dismissal of all persons who
served under the Republic, anil other persons
! so absolute and despotic that nothing but the
presence of French troops prevents a general
convulsion. In short, the French Republic
has, ' liberated' the Romans with a vengeance.

The intelligence by this arrival, though iuter
-1 csting, is not of great importance,
t The news from Paris alludes more particu
larly to the uneasiness in the public
tnirul regarding the reported deigns of Presi
dent Bonapaite and his Ministers, in reference
to a change in the lorin of the Constitution,
preparatory to declaring Louis Napoleon Em
]ror or Consul for life. Although the official
journals endeavor to discredit these rumors,
yet they were acquiring a certain degree of
consistency. M. l.edru Rollin had returned to
Paris to stand his trial. M. Pierre Bonaparte
had been fined 2bo francs for striking M. Gas

of the Paris and Strasbourg and Paris and Ly

The latest intelligence from Vienna informs
us that a buttle had taken place on the sth of
August, between the Hungarians and Imperial

casion, we regret to learn, the Magyars were
defeated, losing five pieces of artillery and 400
prisoners, amongst whom was Prince Wore

berg forced the passage of the Thciss at Ramska
and captured two or three field pieces and a num
ber of prisoners. By these combined successes,
the whole Imperial Army was said to be again

that tie Hungarians had taken possession of
Vesprim and Papa, and were threatening Peslh.
IUINOARV.
Defeat of the Hungarian*.
The steamship Niagara, Capt. I ding, arrived
at Halifax on Wednesday morning, bringing
five days later intelligence from l&urope. The
news from Hrangaty is of an extremely deplora
ble character, it seems that after several terri
bie conflicts, a>l terminating in the prostration
and defeat of the Hungarians, Georgey has final
ly been compelled to surrender to the Rus
sians.
The intelligence from the scat of war in Hun
gary, is of the most disastrous kind. The Hun
garians have been defeated at ail points, and the
cause which Uiey so courageously upheld against
fearful odds, had fallen past redemption.
The pre-delails of the circumstances which
led to this unfortunate and unexpected result
cannot be ascertained from any accounts within
our reach. Part of the main facts are that the
Hungarians have been forced to lay down their
arms and submit conditionally fo the Russian
forces.
A meeting, including Kossuth, Georgev and
Bern subsequently took place at or near Xrad,
at which it was determined at once to put an
end to a war as sanguinary as useless. Georgey
addres-ing the Council of War protested that he
had no hopes for the cause of Hungary—that all
resistance was in vain and that nothing but ut
ter ruin would attend the prolongation of the
struggle. Georgey's remaining induced a num
ber of the Hungarian Ger.erals to side with him
on surrendering not only Georgey's corps, but
also part of the beseiging army at Tamasoac—
numbering in all from to 4fJ,OO(J men—that
stood Georgey and the war party, headed by
Bern, Kossuth and the leading members of the
Hungarian Parliament, had nothing left but to
hasten to Opova Ris stated that they have al
ready entered upon Turkish Territory, and it is
also stated that M Kossuth carried with him
the insignia of the Hungarian Empire, inclu
ding the State jewels
Georgev surrendered to Prince Paskiewitch
under th* one condition, if condition it can be
called, that the Prince should intercede with
the Austrian Emperor for himself, his troops
and his country.
It is asserted that Georgey s desperate resolu
tion was prompted by the mutinous conduct of
the Hussars.

Treasurer of Pennsylvania has just published
an official statement of the finances ot Penn
sylvania, from which it appears that there was
in the Treasury, on the 14th inst .after the pay
ment of all expenses, ordinary and extraordi
nary, a balance to the credit of the State of no
less than §800,165 00, while from the second
pari, being the Treasurer's estimate of the state
of the finances on the Ist of February, 1650, it
appears that (here will be, on that day, a cred
it balance of §164 236 13, applicable, as an un
appropriate excess, under the act of April 10th,
to the completion of the North Branch Canal.
The Treasurer says:
The large appropriation of over §1,200,000
to the l'ublic Works, by the late General As
sembly, will discharge the State indebtedness
thereon, and will tree the Treasury the coming
year of that burthen. In consequence we may
safely caicuiate that no more than $300,096
will be required bv the State Works the en
suing year. In this view of the subject, there
can be no hesitancy, in saying that the State
debt may be reduced at least three hundred
thousand dollars next year, and at the same 1
time give, under the act of the 10th of April
last, iiie sum of from §750,000 to $900,000
towards the completion of the North Branch
Canal.
THE APDUCTION OF Rev.—The abduction of
an individual named Rev, at New Orleans, a
month or two since, with the advice and consent,
as is alleged, of the Spanish Consul at that port,
still excites a good deal of attention at New
Orleans, where the matter was undergoing a
protracted investigation. The Spanish Consul
is under bail to answer the charge. Recent de
velopments look as though there were more
truth in the charge than at first appeared. The
Washington Republic, in an article on the sub
ject, speaks very decidedly, and says, 1 the out
rage is one which the American people will not
submit to; and although the President of the j
United States has recently evinced to the Span
ish authorities and to the world a determination
to suppress all underhanded efforts to seize the
Island i f Cuba, yet we know that, when once
convinced that a free man, be he a foreigner or
native, has been fraudulently and forcibly kid- j
napped in an American city, by order of the
Spanish authorities, he will be prompt to resent
the insult, and compel a speedy atonement for
the outrage from the Spanish Government.'
The above paragraph is from the Gettysburg
Star. The Spanish Governor of Cuba, has sur
rendered Hi v on the demand of the American
Government, and he has already returned to
New Orleans to testify on the trial of the Span
ish Consul.
TUB IKON TKAOE. —The American Rail
road Journal, in the course of an article upon
Iron Trade, makes the following remarks;
'This great branch of national industry con
tinues very much depressed, without any pros
pect of immediate improvement. Nearly ev
ery mill in the country lor making Railroad
bars, if not every one, has suspended work :
and we may calculate upon a genera!abandon
iiienl of the manufacture of pig and most kinds
! of bar iron, unless it is further protected by the
revenue laws of the country, or unless an en
i tire revolution takes place m our social con
dition, bringing shout the same state of things
that \vc now witness in Grist llritain, the
country from u hich we draw most of our sup
i plies of this article.
The Noiristown Register says: 'Mr Lap,
iel Hallow-ell, residing in Ixiwer Marion town
' ship, this county, met with a serious acciden
on the Philadelphia and NorrUtown Rai| roa i
few days since. Whilst seated in one of the
| ears attached to a train in rapid motion, w •
his arm resting upon the window, in passing
number of cars upon an adjoining track the arrn
was caught by a door, which from some cause
I had heeu suffered to remain open, and badlv j.
jured ; it was broken in several places and othr
wise disabled. The physicians attendant upon
j him, have decided it necessary that the arm
should be amputated.'
It is stated in a western paper, that a num.
lier of boxes, witt dead bodies in them— the
remains of gallant men—American soldie-rs
who tell in Mexico—have been stored at New
Orleans, for a long lime past, with nobodv t 0
claim tliem. One of them marked LM. Prv
or, contains, it seems, the body of Dr. MePhsli
| of Tennessee, and was brought to New Or
leans two years ago.
The Secret Expedition.
Notwithstanding the proclamation of the Pres
ident of the United States, which we published
I several weeks ago, it would seem by the follow
j ing, that the organization of a large armed forte
I is in actual course of accomplishment:
St. Louis, September 3.
A letter has been received in this city from
Hound Island, midway between Mobile and
New Orleans, which says that 1000 men of the
j Secret Expedition had arrived there, and would
sail on board the steamship Taney, on the 20th
August, for an island about 100 miles distant
from Vera Crux. The writer is a member of
the expedition, who thinks that Sierra Madre
1 will be the place of destination. 20,000 men
from different parts of the United States were
: expected to rendezvous at a point near Yea
Cruz.
ST. Lou lß, Sept. 3, 1649,
By later advices from the Plains we learn
that the cholera is raging among the North
western Indians to an alarming extent. It had
disappeared from among the Southern tribes
and those on the South Arkansas river. TLe
Indiana along the Missouri river continue
greatly incensed against the whites for intro
ducing the epidemic amongst them, and were
committing daily murders on the inoffensive
inhabitants, out of revenge.
HE UNPREJUDICED.— Let no foolish per
son* be to prejudiced against this now truly celebrated
medicine as to despise this advice ; let it be used immedi
ately on pain being felt: no matter w bete it may he,
whether in the head or feet, whether it be in the backer
abdomen, whether arising from external orintecnalcausr,
usa the lirandreth'c Pills,and rely upon h, Urn'.he pais
will go, the body will be restored to health as sooaas na
j ture has received sufficient ASSISTANCE from tsetr effect
The quantity of impure humors discharged from the
body by the action of the Brandretb's Pills, is replaced in
the course of a few hours with Bew and pure blood, fey
the digestion of a moderate meal. By purging the body
with this medicine the whole mass of blood becomes en
tirely purified and regenerated.
That the blood is the life of the body, I presume is an
| disputed, therefore I shall say that it being the SgsTor
LIFE, it mutt also be the seat of disease, if disease be in
the blood, we should abstract the disease only, not the
blood. It is the impurities which must be removed by
purgation to secure our health, in ail states of tbe weataer,
in all situations, and in all climates. The blood, like a
good spirit, is always trying to benefit the body by ill
struggles to expel impurities. But it is not capable to ef
fect its own purification at a!) times: to do this hmust
j often have assistance. When the blood is loaded witbia
puritles, especially in this climate, the consequences may
be fata), provided the Mood is not purified at once, and
tins is sure to be effected if Brandveth's Pills are used
