July. Stale ntlrelllie Policy. The following article from the Ifarri. , :berg Key stem, we recommend to the attention of our real ers. It eontain.4 the true Democratic State polo': /11 re•mrd to the North Branch: :The editor says : "In order Mat our views may not be misunder stood, or misrepresented. in regard to the financial policy which, we think ought to be pursued by this commonwealth, we state, distinctly, that we are first, in favor of a thorough , evision of the revenue laws, so as to secnre more/equality in taxation.— That we are embrace in 'them, all just objects of taxation, not now included, an 1 in favor of a bet. ter classification of the retailers of merchandize by which, we believe the revenues can be greatly augmented. After the payment of the ordinary expenses of the government, and the interest of the public debt, we think that the surplus revenue, instead of being set apart for a sinking fund, at this time, ought to be applied to the completion of the North Branch canal. We are in favor of pleding., by a constitutional provision, all the revenues, after the payment of the ordinary expenses ci: . government, and the com -pletion of the canal, to the payment of the inter est on the public debt, and the redemption of th 6 primipal, in the order in which it has become due, or may hereafter becomosdue, until it is reduced to an amount, the interest upon x‘hich can be paid by the net revenue derived from the public works; and any such provision .ought to contain a clause, providing., that alter the reduction of ,the debt is commenced,.it shall not again be increased by new loans, except in time of War, or domestic insurrection. Any pledge, short of a constitutional one ; will prove inefficient, and afford but little we entity, either to the public creditors or to the pee . pie themselves, against legislative abuie and error. We are in favor of the completion of the canal, because there has already been about :F2 ; 500,000 expended on it, which is entirely unproductive: aiti....? .. ecausewenklieve, from a careful examina tion of the subject, that by the expenditure of about 6.1,2.00,000 morn the whole can be made productive ; and the country through which it pass. es, be greatly beneffited. We think it would, not only be uoje-1 to the people of the seetion of .he country throtc4h which the canal passes, who con tribute their share of taxes, in common with those of other'sections, for the state to refuse to cornplete the canal when she has the means to do it, but that it would.be very bad economy. Otto of two filings, roast be done; either the state must enmplem the work herself, or give to a company, and lose-all she has expern'ed, as has been the case with the KriMcanal. In this alter. native, wello not believe there is an intelligent man in the state, who will examine the question carefully and impartially, who will riot decide in • favor of the completion of the work by the state, and against throwing a source of revenue ; which nl opened, would largely contribute to dumnish the existing burthen of taxation." Our Cemetery. Will you permit a line.or two fur me upon a sub ject of interest in all, and which seems tri call f.r the especial attention of a few of our townsmen ! I can never visit, i•r pass by our Burying ground, without the wish, that a sufficient outlay of means were bisstowed upon it, to render it in all respects as beautiful, as it is "beautiful for situation." Why this is not done I know not, and can only tic. count for it, upon the supposition, that they in whose hands the matter rests, are absorbed in business of a more personal nature to themselves. A n-ant of funds wtth which to improve it, is not the' reason, I am toll, why our cemetery is allowed to remain in its present condition. To the _want of.some proper person or persons to take an active interest in the subject, we must then attribute the neglect of our "place of the dead. Will not the board of managers, or some member thereof, be induced to engage irPthe work of laying out this ground, with regular diversified walk., and line:of trees! Who. ever will do this, will make the community his dtltor to the amount of many thanks. „With the most ancient nations, existed the custom of burying the dead in public places. Lots were bought, and , ct aside fur this pupOse. The Romans fur a time, though not4n their earlier history, burnt their dead. burying only the ashes, collected in urns. They were accustomed to provide their sepulchres at least with a shroud, npon which was inscribed the tame of the dcceksed, and the wish,• May he rest in prace, sit 1111 terra icuir, - that is, may thl`e earth res tigl.tly upon him. With Christianity . , was introduced consecrated r laces for the purpose of burial. And among all ehmstian nations, respect for the dead is shown. chiefly in art ntions to the places where the dead are deposited. With some, (the communities of Moravian Brothers,) burial places arc formed into gardens. In a Cemetery at Munich, every grave ti covered with a bed of flowers. These are wa tered by the friends of the deceased, from a foun tain at hand for the purpose. The celebrated Cem etery near Paris, Peet la chaise, covered with col- emus, obeliaks, 'pyramids, funeral easel, monu ments of all kinds, and flowers, is said to be one of the most beautiful and 'interesting places in the world But I commenced writing to call attention to the wants of "our country," will you say. a word on the subject, Mr. Editor iu the proper direction to ex cite interest ant) action 1 Respectfully, J.

The editors say that no complaint has been made about the Arguies, until I made it. I could satisfy the senior Editor of the falsity of this statement, if I thought there was a call for it ; but that being on ly a minor pOint in the article, I shall pass it with uut further notice. The reason of the late Col. Kingsbery being turned cut of the office, was with us no political scheme; but was on occount of his extreme age, and disadvantageous location ; his office being one mile or more from tne centre of bu,iness. As for my not ming an obliging officer, is something that ought by no means to disturb the peace of persons living ten miles from the office.— I shall endeavor to accommodate those persons, who receive their mail. matter through this office, ••• re gardless of the opinions of others." Now Messrs. Editors of the Bradford Argus, if you think of making a " lick spittle" of ate, caus ing me to lend a hand, to promote the circulation of whig newspapers—to leave the field of labor to wait upon the subscribers of such papers, withoilt being remunerated fur it—to be nosed about by a few pol iticians thiough fear of being turned out of an office, which is not worth as much in a whole year as would jingle upon a tomb stone; you are mistaken, and are barking up a tree that don't bear whigisin. As fur the " choice fling" I thank it is not in the least aside from the path of decency and decorum. All I said about the matter was, that I should have nothing to du with the Arguses after the first of Ju ly next, unless they were brought in the mail pouch es like a respectable paper. You will doubtless admit, that many respectable papers are carried in that way. Now sir, if your papers come to this' office, like those respectable papers, I will take charge of them, and see that every subscriberis furansted with his paper when he calls for it. If the Editors, of the Argus are dissatisfied with this brief communication, they will please report to the P. Department, and oblige. Soseas Kisser. ITher.hequin,June 12, '49. Fourth of Jody.

The Steamer WYOMING, arrived at this port on Monday evening Juue 4th, making her downward top Iroin.the city 01 Towanda in about five hours. Although there was considerable difficulty and de lay in getting the Root up idle river, as tar as To. wanda, yet there is no doubt but that she mill run, and woik well : and that the el the Sus. quehafina by steam is practicable. The principal, and in fact we might say the only difficulty expe rienced in the trial trip op the river, resulted firm some slight defects in the machinery which can be very easily remedied. The machinery once per fected. and the boat put in good running trim, will ascend the river at the rate of ten miles an hour in cluding stoppages. The stock-holders may rest assured that the ma chinery will be completed according to contract, and will be fairly tested before it is reoefved. We think there is no doubt that it will wore upto or be yond our anticipations, and that in the erairse of a week or ten days at faitherest we shall hate the pleasure ol seeing our protege dash "Through the sparkling Giam, Like an ()CCM' innl net free.' Our friends who went up on the boat were hand somely received at Towanda, c a rd treated in a very hospitable manner by the noble and generous heart ed cinzeak of that place, during their stay. The people of Towanda are celebrated Mr their unaffec ted generosity and kindnem, and we are assured that nn thiti occasion it WIL4 displayed toils fullest extent. The conduct ol the ladies is highly spoken 01, fur their undivided attention to and kind treatment ol all an board the boat.

During the whole of Saturday night and Sunday morning kloyanieusthg was an intense menu of rowdyism. Between 6 and 10 this evening a fight came off between two rivalgangs, which resulted in several being more or less injured. At 3 o'clock this morning Franklin Hose, return ing from alarm of lire, drawn be seven members, they were assailed at Twelfth and South sts. by at least 50 ruffians who beat the members in a most brutal manner. The carriage was taken by the mob and run down to the Washington Railroad Wharf, Southwatk, and thrown into-the dock. It was subsequently taken out. At 1210 day, during; an alarm of fire; the Franklin and Moyamensing Heise Companies came in col beion, when the fight was renewed. The parties separating, it again cinumenced at Tenth and -Fitz water sta. with more deadly violence. Here fire arms of every character, including rifles, long , runs and pistols were brought into requisition, and'hor rible to relate, one young man, a member of Franklin Hors Company, named Alexander Gillies was almost instantly killed by a ball in the heart. Water-Ft. or at least the lower sidewalk. is strew ed with blood, and the street itself is lined with br.ckbats and other missiles. It is impossible to ascertain the number of persons injured, but it must be great. It to surprising that none of the occupants of the houses in the neighborhood were killed, from the fact that trails are to be seen plain ly indented in shutters, and bricks lying upon sups. It is supposed 15 or 20 hare been wounded, some severely. The Moyamensing authorities, rifler the above scenes had transpired. called upon the Sheriff for aid, and we are glad to know it is extended. The Coroner held an inquest on the body of young Gillies. The Jury rendered the following verdict :—" That Alexander Gillie* came to his death by leading on a mob in a riot between Frank lin and Moyamensing Hose Companies by fire arms, and, according to the evidence, was fired on by a man named Black and a drayman whose name is unknown." Warrants were immediately issued for the arrest of the accused. During the whole of the above disgraceful glair only two wrests were made—one by Alderman McClain and the other by Capt Goff. The above account is made up with great can- lion, and is derived - from officers as well as citi zens who were disinterested parties and friends of aw and order Pittsburg Emigrants Arrested tor Murder ...lag Indians—Freshet, /se. Late advices from Fort Kearney fully confirm the iiews of the arrest of several men belonging to a company of California emigrants, upon the charge of wantonly. (without any provocation.) murder ing live Kansas Indians, and wounding many others. They were arrested by a company of U. S. Dra goons, and taken to Court fqr trial. The party of emigrants who committed this outrage have been entirely disbanded. The river is rising rapidly, and is now nearly as high as it was at the last great freshet. On Saturday 26 deaths by cholera was reported; Sunday 37, and on Monday 40. It appears from this that the cholera-is on the increase. I' re total number of deaths for the three days was 129—0 f which number 103 were by choleta. The Board of Health . now obtain their reports from Cemeteries. Yesterday (Wednesday) there were 35 cholera interments; on Tuesday there were 47 interments-35 of which were deaths from cholera, 13 from other diseases. LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM ST. DoMINGO—CIFII. WAh.—By the brig Phaviix, Capt. COOK, which has arrived at this port in twelve days from St. Domin go City, Hayti, we have late and interesting advi ces from the Spanish part of the Wand. For the past Iwo months the city was in a state of great ex citement on account of the cowardly comlnct of the President ; whir was on the point of eacr;licing, his country to the Ilaytiens. Ile and his generals had deserte I his army-, and abandoned several strong posts, and the enemy were making direct for the city, when the former President (Santa Aims) ar rested their progress with a few hundred men and drove them back to their own territory. Santa Anna, after the fight, desired to return home, but was refused admission into the city, when the whole country arose in his behalf, and laid siege to the city. On the 19th of May the President within commenced arresting men and women, and threat ened the lives of all who were Opposed initial. . great number took refuge in the seventl Consular houses. lie had made an attemptt o arrest Mr. El hot, the American Consul, in which he would have succeeded, together with the 80 persons who had taken refuge under his flag, had not the British Consul and the Captain plan English man of war interfered. On the 22l at 4 P. M. they commenced firing from all the forts on the troops of Santa Anna, con tinuing until 2 P. M. on the 23d, when a white flag came from Santa Anna, with a demand that they should surrender, as he had 8,000 men and 20 pieces of cannon—staling that if they refused' he would take the city. Provisions were Frame in the city, and it was blockaded by sea and land —Santa An na has proved that Jimmes intended to put the is land into the possession of the Ilaytiens It is be lieved that Jimines will stand the siege Santa Anna having relived . all mediation, the Consuls will embark on board the men-of wat in the harbor. 1 All the women and children together with the Con ,,lress, are to go outside.

It is gen cra eil by the pas; sage of electricity through air. and is the cause of the peculiar odor perceived during the working of an electric machine, or alter a stroke of lightning. It bleaches powerfully, and is in many respects an alagous to chlorine. " Ozone it is raid, may readily'be generated by exposing, common phosphorus to moist ai and it is probable the peculiar smell of phosphorus arise par tially or wholly from the presence of tbissubstance. "The question has been asked, what is ozone? In answer we give the words of Berzelin_? : " We have thus arrived at the highly important result that ozone is no peculiar element, nor any combination of known elements, but is oxygen gas peculiarly modified." " Leach has assettedlhat gaicanizrelair, owing to the ozone it contains, can be used to advantage for bleaching, and is, in fact, one of the mist ef fective bleaching agents known."

The French expeditionary forces are still en camped outside of Rome ' • M.

The utmost dissatisfaction is said to prevail among the troops, who openly avow their sympathy for the Roman Republic. Whilst nociatioris are go ing forward at Rome, Gen. Outlinott's position, with malaria threatening his army, is far from;pleasani Every day furnishes him withlreAth proofs of the precarious nature of his command, if not of the mor al.ceitainty that the troops will refuse, if called upon, to enter the city by storm. The Neapolitans, hay. inr been beaten, have withdrawn within their own territories, and, with Austria, seem inclined to let the French have the quarrel all to themselves. The war between the Danes and the Prussians ecnitinues, without, from present appearances, the remotest prospect of a satisfactory adjustment of the paltry matter in dispute. The town of Frederic has been reduced' by bombardment, and the Pnissian troops are advancing to Arbause. The Danish cruisers are strictly enforcing the Blockade of the German ports. A division of the Russian fleet bad appeared in the Danish waters, which is considered significant of the intention of the Czar. There is very little authentic intelligence from Germany. From Austria and Hungary little is positively known, beyond the fact that vast armies from Rus sia, in concert with Austria, are now bearing down upon the Hungarians, who seem to be making a rrogressive movement, large bodies of troops hav ing retired into the fastnesses of the country, where they wilt be able to fall upon the enemy with al most certainty of success.

The question of the fusion of the two had been contemplated and wasalesired, if practica ble by their constituencies.

A new organization of the Convention followed in which - the Vice Presidents, Secretaries and Committees were brought alike from each of the two partiei, that were once two but which were now but one.

Dr. Blaney, mentioned in the letter, is a man of science and research: Dear sir :—lii compliance with the request of my friend, Pr. 3. A. Bird„ I. have -made the following brief iteihelis of a letter from him, sent to me for publication in the North if Medical and. Surgical Journal, which, together with a few addi tional remarks which I have made you will please publish, in order that the members of the medical profession nod our citizens generally may have the. means of what is supposed to be a new discovered remedy for the cholera. The facts stated in the letter referred to above at briefly as folli*s:— About six months since, Dr. Bird and myself were lead into conversation upon the effects of at mospheric infleVides, in producing epidemics, from reading an article from a German che mist, in onr periodleals. in whiCh it was contended that influenza depended upon She presence of ozone and that the severity and number of attacks as shown by chemical analysis, was always in proper lion to the amount of this substance in the atmos phere. Taking this statement in connection, with the tact that cholera is generally preceded by, in fluenzas as shown by-its history, we were led to the conclusion,that both diseases might be dependant upon the same intluerie modified in degree accor ding to the greater or - less quantity of this deleter ious agent present in the atmosphere at the time. The next step of investigatipn waste determine what agent would counteract the influence land des troy the deleferiou4 properties of ozone. The accu rate chemical knowledge of Dr. Bird enabled bim to suggest at once the well known substance, sal rhos, as possessing the properties of acting upon it in such a manner as to neutralize its influence. In searching for facts to support this conclusion, it was found that the cholera never had prevailed in the vi inity of sulphur springs, or in situations where this substance abounds ; hence the conclusion that -sul phur might be, and probably was the antidote for cholera: In one of onr Medical JOurnals, an article ap peared describing the method of detecting means of determining whether or not it was present at the very time when cholera was beginning to make its appearance amongst us. Dr. Bird's experiments, as well as those made subsequently by himself and by Drs.Bird. Blaney and myself from day to day,- since the time shows that ozone is present in our atmos phere and that the amount is in proportion to the severity of the diseases from time to time. About a week since Dr. BUrl determined to try the effects of sulphur upon himself and others trou bled as nearly all have been more or less of late, with uneasy sensations, slight pains, &c., -in the digestive organs The result- was entirely satisfac tory so much so that Dr. Bird come immediately to my office and requested me as a friend to test its efficacy in rgard to the ingredients used, until facts should justify its public announcement as a discovery. The beneficial effects resulting [rem its ' use in my practice was such as to convince me at once of its utility in the class of cases described above. During the last few days Drs. Bird, Blaney and myself have contined to use this apparent sim ple remedy, to the exclusion of all others in cases of choleric symptoms. The result has been wonderful. All premonitory symptoms, such as pain, a sense of fulness, unnatural moveinents, slight dianhea,lge., have uniformly yielded at once to a done of three to lour grains of'sulphur. In cases where either cramps, diarrhea or vomi ting have been' present, and in fact where all these symptoms have existed in conjunctions the use of sulphur in the above named domes, every three or four hours, has had the effect to ameliorate the pa tient's condition at once arid when used, in a few hours, to dissipate choleric. symptoms. So far as its efficacy has been tested. in' the worst stages of colapse, most satisfactory results have been obtain ed. In two or three ea e sof the kind the effect of the remedy has been to bring back pulse to the wrist, restore warmth to the surface and stop the profuse diarrftea. and voming. In truth, the re sults obtained so far, have been such as to convince all of us, who have administered it and witnessed its effects, that if any remedy deserves the appell ation. this is a. specific forcholera. 11 flaying been determined to make this public statement, it is expected in return that no hasty con ; elusions will be made either for or a g ainst what ap pears to be a proposition. to accomplish much by I very simple means. Altliongh the results so tar as obtained in a short. and by a few individuals, seem to justify our conclusions, it is hoped that physic ians will continue to depend on what they consider the most efficient practice in bad cases of cholera until they shall have tested the matter themselves and formed their own con :lesions ; anda)so that whatever may be the confidence of individuals in this or any other remedy, they will not depend up on their own judgment in any case, even of symptoms, whenever it is.COssible to consult their physicians. It is suggested by Dr. Bird, that a combination or powdered charcoal one part to four of sulphur, "pas seemed to make the remedy more ekijeient. W. B. Het RICH .Eit. N. W. Mal, 4 Sur. lattr. Lord Pousonby in a letter published in the, Brit ish Joarnals says that to his own knowledge dis solved camphor has pruved a certain cure for chol era both in Paris and Germany. and if taken in in time the cure is generally effected before it is possible to procure a physician. Tito following is the recipe it PF..—Otte and a half ounces of spirits of wi tie one quarter ounces of camphor dissolved in Wine. Gel a small vial of spirits of hart:thorn. Dini:cruiss.—First, give a teaspoonful of harts horn in a wineglass of water. Begin immediately and give five drops of spirits of wine, (camphor) filling the teaspoon with cold water, and 'a little sugar Repeat this every five minutes until you have given three doses. •Then wait fifteen minutes and commence Again as before, and continue halt an hour, unlestt there is returning heat. Should this be thffear-O give one dose more, and the cure is efiected. Let the patients perspire freely .as en this life depends; but atlfftio additional clothing.
