A few days after this, a letter came to Mr. Or

this aceaunf be manifested the ill humor. already
reteire'd to, and, determined to defeat him if possi
.-ble. :With this'design be•iikote an answer to Mr.
Orton 's letter. When Mr Orton received thislet
ter, he showed it to his- sister, and then carried it
pp to Kate. When Mr. Orton tapped at tia.door
of Kate room, she was reading the late "Lady's
.Hooli.Th At her invitation, her fatber•presented
bin self, letter in hand, and in a jovial manner
spoke:, . _
• "Good evening, Rate, bow are you enjoying
yourself
"Very well, I thank you, father, be seated,"
meetly replied Kate. ' '
4 1bavecorue to show you this," said Mr. Or
ton, as be cast Henry Van Eisley's letter into
Jiaterii lap and.took a seat by the window.
.g.ate stook up the letter and read it, without
manifesting the least perturbation--not a mnsele
atter face moved. When done, she handed it to
her father 'without a word.
This unexpected calmness completely confused
- Mr. Orton. He did not know what to lay ; and
the longer , he waited the worse be got. At last,
seeingno -movement on the part of his daughter
to speak, he said in a coaxing tone:
'`You will see him, then, will you, sate."
"I have not said so," was her coot answer.
• -
"You said nothing, and I supposed by your
lence that you woul consent to meet him."
"He does not request me to see him or to meet
Nth either,. He says that he will be here on next
Thursday. I suppose he intends corning in the
morning and staying all day."
"I do beseech of you, Kate, to behave yourself,
and treat Mr. Van Eisley decently.",
'Oh, never fear me, I will perform my part to'
rrfection."
"There's no use talking to you, that is plain,"
replied Mr. orton, as he left the room.
"And he is corning, is he?" mused Kate. "Well
• he may come ; but he will find that the bird has
'flown. •I have some good, friends in this house ;
think: that I can trust them, and command their
services in my distress. I mjot get away by some
means; and if I only can get to my nnee's salt.
I know I will be safe."
:should have stated before this time, that Mr.
Ortbri kept =extensive hotel in S------, and that
several young.men boarded at his house. Among
these was one named McLain. Robert McLain
was a student of law-and was suspected strongly
by Mts. Crawford especially, of being in love with
Sate Orton ; but of tbis matter I cannot speak.—
'Eine determined to call upon Bob McLain as the
7 - young: .gentleritietn_ waa laroiliarly_ denominated,
feeling certath that he would aid her escape. In
effecting an arrangement with Mr. McLain, it was
necessary io employ both policy and an, which
wire'diniedto her by her aunt and father.
It was Saturday, and there was no time to be
Ipst, so our heroine drew up a note, in which she
Stated her grievances and desires. This she care
folly dropped in hlcLain's hat, as she passed along
the hall to tea.- s
- Next,day, after. tea, McLain noticed sate
.as
cending the stairs. §tarting at a rapid rate, he
overtook her, and as he passed her, put in her hand
the following-note:
"Km—The arrangements are made: to mor
row-night at 11 o'clock, we will raise a ladder to
your - window. " Be ready. and - keep an eye on the
svidovir. Boa."
Kate, on receiving this note, hurried to her room
,
—locked the door and read it as eagerly as if it
had been' a loieletter, She was overjoyed at her
prospective escape from her father's persecution.
,In due.time all, artieles of dress, Ste, which would
be needed during her absence, were packed away
and concealed between the bed ticks. On Monday
, she assuroed an unusually gay and cheerful man
ner, talked freely of Mr. Van Eieley to her aunt,
and actually:expressed a desire for the interview,
`saying that she bad forgotten his appearance; and
- that it might so happen that she would like him
after all. This was done for the purpose of dis
-arming suspicion but instead, of actin; as Kate

McLain saw how; things were, and springing
into the.room, he docked the door, hurried Kate
out - of the -window, down the ladder, and into the
hack, just in time to 'escape, two or three ser
vonts who had_started out to survey the premises.
Mr. Orton, failing to get - aniinformation from his
sister except 4 Oh God ! but I'm scared," ran up
to Kate's room, old finding it locked, he burst the
door, and . likenflesh the whole plot struck his
mind. Confing down he learned more fully the
mode and course of Kate's escape. Determining
to pursue, he called tor horses, took his pistols, and
was soon after the fugitives, as test as horse flesh
could take him. The night was dark, which was
faiorable to Kate's expedition in one sense, and
not in another. Owing to the darkness they could
not drive fast,"and ere they had made ten miles of
their journey, Mr. Orton overtook them, and rush
ing his horse past the rack for some filly yards.—
He whirled around, drew his pistols, and with a
louldly vocifßated oath commanded the driver to
stop or he would send him to 6-11. The driver
being unprepared for such a salute, and for such a
trip, checked his horses, as two other pursuers
came up.
After a few words of altercation, McLain, at the
advice of Kate, yielded ;' and ordered the driver to
turn the-haik. So Kate was taken home again ;
having two guards before and one behind.

The Gaisette..Thc Scrip.
If the doctrine of metempsychosis be true, the
soul of the editor of the Gozette has dwelt in the
body of more than one reptile. Hia article of yes
terday partakes of the character of the frog. He
sitsin his slimy pool and dolorously croaks about
“the Post! , *" the Post! the Pon ! liow his
dulcet strains must charm the ears of the Whig
Councilmen and Commissioners,whe sit complacent
ly on the margin of the pool chewing their end. and
ruminating on the mischief they have done! We
take occasion once In a while to let the light of
truth flub in the eyes of this ugly creature of the
Gazette, but instead of seing a ray of honest intel
ligence fellected from" the precious jeivels in his
head,” he darts at es au oblique glance of horrible
malignity and then hides himself in his slime. Dear
readers at
.e distance, don't be startled at our ima
ges, for you could only behold this political an
tagonist of ours you would be satisfied of their pro
priety.
It is the ambition of the editor of the Gazette to
be the mouth-piece of monopolists; mad he cares
not how contemptible he may appear in the mime
tion of w common people,w so that he can bask in
their august sunshine. Men of wealth are demi
gods to him. His first thoughts in the morning, and
his last at night, dwell upon such citizens as Harmar
Denny, Col. Robinson, Frederick Lorenz and Geo.
Davie; and whenever he meets them, w the preg
nant binges of his knees are crooked." Every can
did mind in Pittsburgh will admit that this descrip
tion of the Gazette man is true to life. We only
give it that our readers at a distance may know what
kind of a tool our adversaries use against us.
But to the point at issue. We claim no knowl
edge the science of 4 financierinp except an intui
tive consciousness that fewer losses are made from
silver and gold than shinplasters. When we propo.
sad that the Council, might make a temporary loan
from hanks to relieve the people who ore suffering
from the folly of whig expedienci, we only wished
to excite them to some action to remove the evil
which exists, and the stigma which is being attach
ed to this community. We know that any sugges.
tions from a Democrat are offensive to the nostrils
of our accomplished opponents who rule and ruin
the Cities and County, but we are not bound to close
oar month nevertheless. The Gazette calls it "char
acteristic heartleunessw when we proposed that loans
might be obtained from the banks. His bowels of
compassion yearn for the bank.; but he has no sym
pathies for those farmers, mechanics and working
men who hate to pay their twenty per cent, to the
:broker, to get democratic money for whig promlsei.
We find a precious confession in the Gazette, that
'May be ominous of something, or mean nothing.
The Editor thinks it Inconsistent with common hon
esty to ask the banks to wmake loana to corporations
(meaning the Cities - of Pittsburgh and Allegheny)
which may not pay thetn for years.” Whit sere we
"ignorant loco;fisconw to understand from this! Is
the Scrip to he a curse 'upon os for years.
We will not to-day. pursue thin subject farther l ;
but we are determined to do our part to keep .the
Authorities ofthe Ctdes and County from stagnating.
If, like the waters of Bethesda, they must be wtrou,
bled" before their virtues are exoited, we shall not
fail to stir them up ! , "As for the-COunty Commis

that they may be made to do what . la right. A Whig

On toe Prevention of Choler*.
Ma. Enron:—lt ie very probable that in a few
weeks we may be -visited by that sofa! scourge,
Cholera, and unless preventive measures be taken to
gay its progresa,'it may prove to us a scourge in•
deed. Perhaps a few hints in relation to this mauer,
may not be unexceptionable to your reader..
Every person knows the utility' f warm clothing,
pure air, cleanliness and moderate exercise, in war
ding eir diseases of every /sled, so that it is deemed
unnecessary to dwell riti the:it at this time. It may
be proper, though, to correct tin erroneous itnpres
*ion which prersila pretty extensively among the pea
pie, in reference to the kind of food they should use
during the prevalence of en epedemic of any kind,
and especially during the prevalence of Oholera. It
is generally believed that they should consume very
little, or no animal food—that they should refrain
from eating fruit of every description, end indeed
live upon the mildest, and moat innotritinua vegeta
ble food which can be got. Nothing can be farther
from the truth than the auppositioo that this mode of
living la the beat that can be adopted to keep away
Cholera. Vegetable food alone iv not 'anciently
nutritious to support a laborer, or one who has al
ways been accustomed to eat meat at his meals.
Something more nutritious must be,eaten, or he will .
become weak; and nothing predisposes ono more to
take the diseaae than weakness.-
At a preventive of Cholera, then; a good nutri.
tious diet, composed partly of animal food, must be
employed. Of the most digestable meats, perhaps
boiled mutton, roasted beef, venison, chicken, ter:
key arid fresh fish, are'the best. Oysters and softly
boiled eggs are also very nutritious, mad very diger . -
tible. Fresh meat or some kind Would be eaten
once or twice :eiery day.. A reasonable share of
ripe fruit should also' he reasonably indulged in.
Otte who is desirous of remaining free from phol.;
era should ke'ep a cheerfttl, and:iivel, disposition,
and not indulge in gloomy 'and fearful thrtabodings.
- .Common table oalt has been recently proposed by
an eminent English ~ practitioner, as a preventive of
this plague ; and frorn what we know of its effects '
upon the system, there is reason to believe there is
some truth in the - Proposition. Cholerd is' al ways
pr'eceeded by a we . akened condition orthe stomach
and bowels--a condition which common. salt is eat.
fleetly calculated to correct, and by the correction ,
of die weakness, the disease itself-may be prevent.

which would occur, may be prevented by' this simple
article. When the .d Beane: is ragbag, - about one_.

a Man or wOman, along with his meals:` It may be
Put en hiemest, butter, bread, Etc. Pot children .a
much smaller quantity is required. how must be
persevered in, until the diseaae has disappeared. •
Before bringing this article to a close, it is deanied,
proper to remark, that Cholera is not, as iaginerally

Doctor McCormick, of the United States Army
and one of the gentlemenconstituting Gem Tay

author-of the following remarks on thelnitholdgY
and treatment of_Cholera.— They Were originally
written and transmitted, in As-private letter to a

that Dr. McCormick had committed his-views on:
the. subject, to writing, and desirous to see'therr in'
_print, applied to the Doctor for a copy, And bevingi
obtained it, kindly handed it•toms for publication.,
It will be found below: • '
Cholera haii four distinctly marked - staget—.
Ist. Loose dejection:
2d. Watery dis Charges by the stoinacb, bowels
and skin.
3d. Corpse,like oldness;and blueness of the akin
or collapse.
4th. T{eaction, Choleiic fever, ti stage strongly
renernbling Typhus. '
The - first consists in a simple looseness of the
bowels—the dejectiensbeing - frequent and more
or less copious and thin; the consistence deireas
ing with each evacuation until it arrives at the
next plainly marked stage , of the disease. The
second periodythe evacuations noW consist of
little else than watery fluid. With these dischar
ges the.thirst is always intense and the voice be
gins to fail. The stomach becomes involved, pour
ing fourth the same watery fluid in greater or less
abundance, and ushered

provoke.
The third period follows, and consists of cot
lapse. This seems naturally explained by - the
waste of the watery portion of the blood and - the
great exhaustion of the nervous System, so intimate
ly connected with it, and with the violent cramps
and spasms.m
The voice has becoe rriore feeble,
the water evacuations cease, the agony is over,for
the spasms have also ceased, and the patient lies
indiffertnt, apathetic, fearless, and ;craves only
drink. The thirst continues intense; becomes in. and seems to exist in a direct ratio to the
quantity of : watery fluid piiured forth by the dis
charges, and to depend thereon. It seems to a
rise from an instinctive desire and urgent demand
to- supply the waste and drainage of the system.

Powdered Opium: Six grains,

probably give twenty. grains of calomel and four

generally prove sufteient end eyed in most severe.

When th:s has proved sufficient, the evacuations
Will have become far less frequent; and'ehanged in
character, especially in 'constatenee." One early
stage the danger is greater, the more frequent; end'
the thinner or more liquid and watery the. stools`
may become. You - can continue therefore to give
one of the calomel and opium pills after each evac.

taken; and if the peruke still continue it becomes
necessary to continue the opium as follows:
