Out of eight hundred in that pal ace, two hundred and forty-five died; the rest marched to Aries, carrying the disease with them, and it there raged in the most dreadful manner.— Such was the panic that in a population of twenty thousand, only - five thousand remained, the vest having fled no one knows where. The deaths are at present reduced to fifty per day. Some of the soldiers were ordered to Marseilles to embark for Algeria : they introduced it into this place.

The pretence ihat,thie was mutts- real amt-; mtly „object-..0t. the Kansas Nebraska bill is too tranepareu fy false to require refutation. There is a deep.seated and general desire throughout the bee elates to defeat this purpose, and to shot out slavery from the cerritOries which have been newly opened Hui: can this ob. ject be accomplished ? This question cemes to as from many quarters. People write to Sas reqdest in us to putt out, it we can, some specific course of action which can be missed upon with a rea sonable prospect •of success. The frequency 01 these terms 's, the gravi•,‘ and magnitude of the question, and the lively Interest which we take in it, have led us to bestow upon the subject lung arid careful reflection, assi we will now give, briefly and clearly; our views, both as to what can and what cannot be done ft has been extensively proposed to restore the Missouri Cotrlpromise—to repeal the repeal. Let assets what plospect there is that this can be done. A House of Representatives could probably be elected a decided majority of which would vote (or the restination.- But it would require many years to effect a IA cient change in the Senate to the measure through that body. As, therefore, it would be sure in defeat in the Senate, it seems hardly worth while to discuss its chances of an Ex ectnive vote, for it would never reach the Execu• Live. It is. then. advisable to go lot a measure which has no possibility of success! Should we not lose the confiden ist of the people in this practical, hard wet king age, by wasting our time and theirs in ad vocating athovement which is absolutely certain to be defeated, and the certain defeat of which must be apparent to every intelligent person who will candidly examine thesubject. We believe that the clear impractibili'y of compliahing the restoration of the Missouri Com promise will render impotent every political orga nization which maybe attempted on that basis— It is clearly our opinion, therefore that it is utterly useless and idle to make this the issue. Whet, then, can be done, and what is it beet to dot The great object to be accomplished is the prevention of the extension of slavery over territo ry in which it does not now exist. Why not, then. boldly take the position that not another slave shall be admitted into this Union If we take that ground, and maintain, it. we shall accomplish our object.— Therecan be little doubt that a large majority of the people of this country ate in favor of it. Neither is it obnoxious to any constitutional ob jection. The Constitution, at the time of its ailnp. tion, did not contemplate admission of states form ed of territory not belonging at that time to the country. In admitting such slates it is clearly the right of the majority to prefix to their admission such conditions as they deem proper. Let, then, the people of the free states elect men to Congress—from every Congressional district, if possible—who will vote against the admission of any other slave mate, no matter from what state the application for admission may come If Kansas applies, if Nebraska applies, it Cuba applies,lif the Sandwich Islands apply, if new states from the territory now belonging to Mexico apply for ad- Mission as slave states, let a prompt and final re jection—until the offensive provisions i tt their con. &Minions be abolished—be the answer It has been said that there was an implied un derstanding that new states formed of ter holy now constituting pail of the great state of Texas should be admitted with slave consti• °lions. But if there ever was any such understanding, and if it ever was in any degree obligatory, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise has deprived it of all its binding fines. We would, therefore, oppose the admission of new slave states carved out of Texas with the same unalterable delciminatton with which we would oppose the athritAsion of such Sta. tee from every other quarter With this plain, simple, practical, righteous is sue, with the great balance of pecuniary interest and the spirit of the age in our favor, with union ani vigor on oar side in the conflict, can we reas onably doubt of susses? At the same time that this position is taken, all purpose—and all right—to interfere through' tie agency of the goverment with the institution of slavery in the states in which it now exists should be disclaimed with equal distinctness and precision This would almost disarm opposition at the north, and weaken it at the South On Ibis issue mainly, if-not entirely. it seems to as that the election of the next Congress, and of the next President of the United States, should be de cided. On the ground which we have indicated all the lovers of liberty can rally, with the conscious ness that while they are tine to the principles of Freedom, and that by their unitertend firm support her glorious cause shall triumph, they lire doing in justice to no state and to no man in any part of the Country. Anti-Nebraska Meeting. • Pursuant to public notice, a large and enthusias tic meeting of the citizens of' Durell, and adjoining townships, was held at the Meeting House, in •Frenchtown, on Friday 'evening, August I I, 1854. F. X. Hornet, Esq., was appointed President; D. L. Staates, C. T Baldwin, 0. D. Chamberlain and U. Moody. Vice Presidents, and T. G. 'Brown and )dram Gilbert, Secretaries. The meeting was appropriately addressed by Col. B. Laporte and J. M Bishop, showing the out cage committed upon the country in the enactment oldie Kansas and Nebraska; the venal and merce• nary character of the present Congress, and the dangerous encroachments of the - playa power. At a late hour the meeting adjourned, to meet aain at Terrytown, on the 18th net, n extending a v s arm and cordial invitation to the Hon. D Wilmot, to meet with them and deliver an address. SUPPOSED MURDER BY • Boy —Elias Horn, aged about 16 years, left his father's house to the town of Minville, in this county, on the 26th ult., in coin. parry with another boyJ named George Jackson, about 12 years old, for the purpose of bathing in Apple river. On the return of Jackson he was in quired of, where he had left Horn 3 He replied that he had got drowned at a place called Lone Rock. Search was matle for the body, and it was recover. ed on the 29th. On examining the body it was found that the deceased had been shot, the ball entering the mouth. An inquest was held on the body, and the verdict was such that Jackson was committed to jail for murder. It appeared from the evidence, that Jackson took with him, when he went to bathe, a gun, and that when Horn was in the water be shot him. Horn had one dollar and ten cents in his pocket when he left home, and when his clothes were found the money had been taken hair.' his poetise ; supposed . by Jackson. It is suppOsed that Jackson 'moldered:hut comrade stile in the water for this small cam', though it is but fair to hear Jackson's present, story of the matter. He says they were " playingindian" together, that while one was in the water the other on land would snap at him t h e gun ; but that, while he was taking his turn with the gun, it went off, with the above result. He is now in jail waiting his trial, which _takes place at the next term of the Circuit Coda.—Woo Advertiser.

Q::7- The drought which has prevailed in this re gion for some past, is becoming terrible in its in convenience, and from its eflects upon vegetation. All signs of rain fail„and the theories of ProL Espy are without effect. Corn, potatoes and buckwheat, in the neighborhood of this place, are almost a to tat failure. The meadows and pastures are brown and sere, while the atmosphere is filled with dust, and smoke from numerous fires upon the moun tains. The " memory of the oldest inhabitant" has no recollection of the like. CRATON Poavairti.—Perional notices of emi nent men are always interesting, and a volume containing sketches of great Americans must be especially valuable to every native of this country. Messrs. DeWitt & Davenport, of New York, have just issued a book entitled Crayon Sketches ; or, Off Hand Takings; from the pen of Geo. W. Bungay, Esq., of Boston, which we have not the slightes: dnubt, will prove a great hit. It contains carefully written descriptions of some of the most noticeable Poets, Preachers, Politicians, Prcse-writers, &c., of our day, and so well are they touched off, that each one may be called a Pen-Daguerreotype. More over, the work is embellished with twenty capital steel engravings, any one of which is a graceful likeness. No American libraty can be complete without this work, which, hom its fair, free and frank style, will make a sensation. From the same publishers we have a new-work entitled " Fifteen Minutes Around New York," by G. G. Ferrari, which contains some, excellent sketches of some of the peculiarities of Gotham.— It is one of the moat entertairting publications of the day. N. These publications may be obtained at the Drog Store of Dr. H. C. POMP, agent for the publish. era. • Mrisoom Exxonos.—The majority for [(snotty (Whit,) over Benton (Dem) in the Firm Congres sional District of Missouri, is 1758. The St. Louis Republfcan, says, " The retools by telegraph leave no reasonable doubt of the election of J G. Miller and Gilchrist Porter, the Whig candidates, in their respective districts, for Congress. The returns from the other districts, though not very numerous, in dicate the re-election of Mr. Oliver, Sam Camthers and Lindley, all Whigs. We do not, chant their election as certain, but it looks that way." The complexion of the Legislature is not ascertained.— Upon that depends the choice of a U. S. Senator, Mr. Atchinson's tithe expiring in 1855. OROWINO Caors—Tos Daocnrtr.-•.From the statements which appear in our exchanges itwould seem that almost throughout the entire country the crops have suffered and are suffering front the ex cessive drought.

It proffers advice to Temperance men; which, if heeded, teapot fail to be beneficial. " It is the fortdne of the friend. of Prohibition that they now have • a -practical, tangible issue—they bares standard around which all may rally—and they Will be enabled to make that demonstration which will not only have its moral effect, but will be attended with practical results. To effect this, requires only that the one question should be kept steadily in view—that there should be no taming to the tight hand, nor the let. It is peculiarly for- Innate that in the shape which the matter has been left, that it will hardly aditit of partizan embrace— though $3lllO scrupulous demagogues may attempt to pervert into dishonest and improper purposes. If the friends of Prohibition rally in every Coun ty in the State, steadily refusing to listen to the !lotteries or pledges of any man or party, they will carry a majority ranging from fifty to one hundred thousand voters of the Commonwealth. When they have done this, the victory is gained. No Legislature would d , even if they had the incli nation,, to disregar such an overwhelming demon stration of the pup tar will. And we venture to say that no man who uld be placed in the Guberna torial torial chair, woo l be dishonest and corrupt enough to endeavor tot art the will of the people. Such a man would be despised and execrated, and his name would be transmitted to posterity as one to be abhorred. The moil Temperance feeling throughout the State has already been appealed to and attempts are now math% to prostitute it to party 'purposes. Let the Temperance voters distrust those who ap proach them with pledges from this and that Gu bernatorial candidate, or professions that any party is the pecilliar friend of Prohibition. The lemper ance rankkare filled by voters,from every party -in Commonwealth. The Whig northe Democratic par ty have any especial right to be so designated. But either, we have confidence in believing, would be ready to carry out the will of the people, expressed at the ballot box. The members of the Legislature; elected this fall, will have the duly of carrying out the popular expression by framing and passing a Prohibitory Law to meet public expectation. Here will be another fine field for those who are more liberal with promises than performances, and it becomes the duty of TeMperance men to carefully scrutin ize the merits of candidates and sift the professions which are put forth. If the Democratic candidates are upright men, "(and none other should be placed in nomination,) there is no danger but that they will in good faith carry out the wishes of their con slilDents. This should be the first inquiry of voters. Men who have this Temperance reform at heart, have a right to inquire, if among the other necessa ry qualifications, they can trust this question with them. But pledges are no guarantee—and he that is in most haste to make the strongest promises should be mistrusted. The effects of paitizan alliance upon the cause of Temperance are manifest. They will be extreme ly disastrous, if attempted. There are thousanis of voters who, while they feet no particular interest in the matter, will vote fot a Prohibitoty Liquor Law, provided they are not disgusted and driven off by attempts to make it minister to party triumphs. In such case, their votes would be reversed, while Temperance gams nothing, but loses its high cha racter from being drabbled in the muddy pool of politics.

DISTRUSINCI Acarnust—A very distressing acci. dent occurred on Nonh river, New York, opposite Fort Lee, last week, by the sinking of a small boat containing three young ladies and two children, a boy and girl. The parents are almost frantic, and have requested that cannon be fired from the shore, with a view of raising the dead to the surface of the water. Rum's Doutor—A man, named Chapman,, mad with intoxication, attempted to ride his bone into a bar-room of a h otel at Savannah, Ga , and When prevented by the landlord, be drew a pistol and fired. He was arrested, placed in the guard-house, but escaped through a window. He was, howev er, re-arrested, and fined seventy-five dollars for his murderous spree. , BURNINO Or THE SlitiP Tow Nazism The ship Townsend, from Boston tor Santrancisco, was burn ed at sea on the 15th of May, on the coat of Chili. The passengers and craw escaped in the boats, and alit/ indescribable sufferings for fifteen days, and the loss of twelve Brea, landed'on Juan Fernandez. Of the four boats• that left the ship only one reached the island. During these fifteen days they sailed in the boats 660 miles. A Rota—There was brought up, from the but. tom of the take at Flensburg, the other day, the wheel of an cannon carriage, and it has been ascertained that the gun, a French one, still lies there.

Louis, originated about 2 o'clock maths after. noon7ll the polls-of the Fifth Wind t -between a' party who called- themselves Americans, and a number of Irish, who had gathered around the en gine house": ' • The fight at first was a general one, which was tollowed by a slight skrmishing all along Third at., between Vintiiimet and Franklin arena, setving very much to increaseihe excitement and draw .to. gather a large crowd. Wherever an Irishman was seen in the street, he was pursued and most cruelly beaten.. Finally, parsed of one was trade - down Mritgan street, where thextob were met by number of Siberians, who gaits battle by throwing stones, and firing pis tols ; but the crowd of rioters increaaing, they gave way and retreated to their bdusea between Main and Levee street. • Here for tr, while the mob was the scene of the wildest excitement.. The Irish fired as many, perhaps, as a hundred pistol shots into the crowd, who were breaking in the doors and windows of the houses by showers of stones from the streets. At last the shooting was silenced, and the mob proceeded down the Levee and along it to 'Locast street, assailing every coffee house or tene ment supposed to contain foreigners with a contin ued storm of missiles. Ater this-the Irish made another stared on Second street, but were driven down put Cherry, the mob still continuing their assault upon the houses and windows. They then proceeded up Morgan and Green street, above Fourth. and assailed a number of houses, completely riddling the doors and win dows with stones and brickbats. During the even• ing, slight assault had been made on the office of the Anzeiger des Westens, but the party were dis. persed without much injury. In the mean time, the military and police were out in 101 l force. scat. eriug the excited combatanti here and there . and doing Mach to restore quiet to the city. About 10 °Wick at night, howeve,r, a company of the riotors ersintaning perhaps 20, came marching down Third street from the scene of assault upon Morgan street —stones in hand Land shouting in the wildest mari ner, and upon arriving in front of the Anzeiger of fice, again commenced an assault upon the win dows and doors of the house. At this juncture, the military came charging upon the crowd again, and diaper sed the mob. When we left the scene quiet seemed to be in a very fair way of being re • stored, and the military having complete posses sion of the street, and seemed determined to en force order. It) is utterly impossible to estimate the number of persons wounded in the whole affair, or even to say how many have been killed. We saw at least twenty men lyingbleeding,and wounded so severe• ly that they were perfectly insensible—their faces cut most horribly and skulls mashed, and Borne ap pearing perfectly dead; and then we have learned of three men certainly killed, and of five or air more who are thought to be dead at this time from wounds received. It is a wonder to as, when we remember the number of shots fired and the exposed position of the mob, that there were not double the persons killed and wounded. A madby the name of Shan non was stabbed in the back of the neck from which he very probably died last night.
