Eitimes of the Last War. " Thefollowing' account of Mkt. Mediebn's flight om Washington, and of the saving of Stuart's Portrait of Washington, when the Capital was ta ,lrett-hy: the-English during the late war, is from C. 13 . .. Ingersoll's forthcoming history.? • Part of Col Carberry's regiment .of regulars, was quartered not far.from the President's House, in the large hallof which were,v.ored munitions of. war. Two clinnomneried by'-four artillerists, wereplanted befole- the- front door. Mrs. Medi foci ;:gathered ftie - Most rprecimis - , cabinet papers, some clothing, and other imPortant articles, pack id in:a carriage, and made ready for what always ufl anticipated: - flight. Dr. Blake, the Mayor of -Washington, twice called to,warn her of the peril of .her . sittiation, and urge herdeparture. The four artillerists fled, leaving her alone in the house, with no attendants but servants, the most intelligent end reliable of whom was one called French John, ,11r. John Siotisa, a native of Paris, who come to thin country as a searnakon board the French frig 'ate Didori, accompanied by the Cybele, another -frigate. in Isq4; commissioned to take back Jerome Bonaparte, whose. marriage with a beautiful, Ansericart wife gave iimbrageln his ambitious and imperious; ind soon to be imperial brother, Tat leyrand ,addriaied,his master, the Emperor, when crowned, 'dep:oring the "terrible degradation of a whcile family of American cousins ;" and tben, 'Mr: - Stan, with several others of the French crews•of ihe two frigites, deierted from an impe rial navy to establish - himself in this country, and bedtime the father of sixteen republicari children.

Not long after the Mayor's second 'call'on•-Mrs. Madison, pressing her departure, she Still lingering for tidings of her husband, his - faithful, brave young slave, Jim, returned with his 'marer's last note, in pencil, directing her to fly at once: -The horses, already harnessed to the car. iiages, were ordered to the door, and, with her fe- Male servants in one, and only, a little black girl in her own, Mrs. Madison drove, off. „ - The - afternoon before,Mr. George W.P. Custis, of Arlington, on the oter Side of the Potomac, oprieSite to Washington, grandson of Mrs. Custis, Gen, Washington's wife, in whose' family he was brought up—a gentlemen fond 'of painting, and of 011 memorials of his grandmother's husband, par lietdarlYevery variety of portraits of Washington welled at the President's to save a tull length picture which has been among the few ornaments .of the presidential mansion duringits ten incum bencies; from that of the first Adair's, on the re of the seat of goVernment, in 1800, to the District of. Columbia. The picture in 1814, hung ou the ease wall of the large dining loom, instead of the :east wall of-the small parlor, where it is now. ':The 'President promised Mr. Custis that it 'should. be taken care of, and Mrs. Madison deemed it a duty not to leave such a trophy for the cap " Um. It is one of Washington's likenesses, by Stuart; stamped with his superiority as a portrait painter, the bead and face strongly resembling the original: Negligent as Stuart was' of all but the face of his"picture,the• person of Washington was left for another artist, Winstanley, to whom Presi ' dent Adams's sortsin-law, Wm. Smith, stood for the body , limbs, posture. and manner of this paro dy; str, that Washitigton's tall, gaunt person, his shape; air and attitude, are much better given by Trumbull's representation of him in the several historical pictures which, fill panels in the rotundo at the Capitol. Mrs. Madison, with the carving knife in her hand, stood by while French John and - otherkstrove to detach the picture uninjured from its heavy external gilt frame, and preserve it whole on the inner wooden work, by which it was kept 'distended and screwed to the wall. Charles Car l-014.0f -Bellitle, a geetleman intimate in the President's family, entered from' the affair of Bla densburg while the French porter. John Siousa, rind Irish gardner, Thomas M'Gaw, were laboring With a hatchet, to take down the picture, and re- Mtihirrated .ageinst Mrs. bladison risking capture forsueh an object,-which Mr. Carroll urged, ought riorto delay her departure. Her letter to her sis --ter, Mrs. Washington, states that the picture was secured; iefore she left the house. Mr. Siousa, Who.irr highly worthy or credit, thinks she was - wine - Wore it was done, as her letter expresses the accomplishment. The Irish gardner, to whose aid; - the midst of the work, Mr. Jacob Barker came in, according to Siousa's recollection, while he was gale to bring an axe, got the picture down from.the wall, and placed it in the hands of Sir. Barkee; with whom, according to Siousa's State •• ment; there was no other person except a black ishorn Siousa took for Mr. Barker's servant. Carried off whole, in the inner wooden frame, be, yomf Georgetewn,the picture was deposited by . Mt. Barker in a place of safety. The presiden tial household god, the image of the father of his country-4y whom its chief city was fixed near his home, and by whose name it was called—was than snatched from the clutch or torch of the bar barian captors. Such, as near as it can be ascer tained, is the truth of ° its rescue, which has been embroiled in newspaper polemics by several clai nifints to part of the honor. MIX. Madison, driving to Georgetown, went first to the residence of the Navy,then to Belleveu, and joined, by the families of Mr. Jones and Mr. Car -• returned to the-town, insisting that her tern fled coachman should take her back towards the President's House. to look for him ; whom she un expectedly found near the lower bridge, attended by .

Laval, with: some of his dragoons, the regulars, .and Et company or two of volunteers, also stopped there. thirsting for drink, which was furnished in buckets of water and bottles of wine, set before the ,door for a hurried drought : during which short stay many things, were taken out of the house by individuals - most ot them, probably, to be secured and restored, as some were, but not all; for the Secretary of the Treasury's . fine duelling pistols, Which the President took - from hi. holsters and laid on a tahle, w ere carried o ff , and never recov • twit: As seen as the executive and military fugi twei'disappeared, Siousa, solitary and alone in the house, who had before secured the gold and silver mounted carbines and pistols of the Algerine min ister,•which ire now in the Patent Office, carried ' the parrot to Col.

The British broke oPell the house, aud burnedit, as before stated, without discover ing, as is believed, anything they deemed worth preserving.

Mr. Love was abroad with the troops, but soon returned. His lady, in? disposed, made the best arrangements practicable for so large an irruption of unexpected inmates, for whom sofas, and other. .substitutes for beds were arranged as well as could be ; and they pass ed• a frightful, miserable night, all disconsolate, several in tears, Mrs. Madison sitting at an open window gazing on the lurid flames and listening to the hoarse murmurs of the smouldering city, while several hundred disorderly militia around the house, aggravated the din and begrimtned the gloomy scene. Before daylight the next morning the caravan of affrighted ladies, in sad procession, took their departure under Mrs. Madison's lead, for the rendezvous appointed by the President. Consternation was at its uttermost; the whole region filled with panic struck people, terrified scouts roaming about, and spreading alarm that the enemy . were coming from Washington and Alexandria, and. that there was safety nowhere. Among the terrible rumors, one predominated that Cochrane's proclamation was executed by Cock burn, inducing the slaves to revolt, and thatthous ands of infuriated negroes, thank with liquor and mad with emancipation, were committing excess es worse than those at Hampton • the year before, subjecting the whole country to their horrid out rages. About noon, the air was charged with the two fold electricity of panic and of a storm, as the ladies pursued their weary and disconsolate re treat. Gen. Young, commanding a brigade of Virginia militia, in his official report to the hives tigating committee of the House of Representa tives, says that they were delayed on their march to join General Winder, "by an alarm of a do. mestic nature, which he was so credulous to be lieve, from the respectability of the county people who came to him for protection; he h Ited his brigade and sent out light troops and one troop of cavalry to ascertain the fact, which finally proved erroneous." The terror of Cockburn's formidable enormities was more conquering than arms. Gen. Young, next day, actually stopped Mrs. Madison, insisting that she mast not be suffered to go with out an escort. +alp morning Post L.

We trust our readers will peruse these letters with that attention the im portance of the subjectilemands Dissolution of the Whig Party That the 4, Whig" party has been dissolved, mov no longer admits of a doubt. A search warrant' would not discover its whereabouts. It is non eat inventor, scattered, broken up, gone to—Davy Jones' locker I Sic transit gloria mundi ."I"he Whig party had an identity once. It was strong and powerful ; and made considerable noise about elec. tion times. But in the Philadelphia Convention (fa miliarly known by the name of the " National Slaughter House,") the great embodime it of whig gery was literally slain by his own fele ids. Gen. Taylor was nominated simply because he was a leader in a war which the whip had pte 6 riously de nounced as 4, unholy, unjust and dameable." He never had been identified with the Whig party; and in all his electioneering lettere declared that he would not lend himself to party schemes. He was elected by Democratic rotes and the men who pia ced confidence in his professions and promises, find that they have been leaning upon a broken reed. The Democrats who voted for Gen. Taylor under the belief that he would carry out Democratic mea sures, have returned to the GOOD otri. PARTY. The Whigs who supported the General merely for the sake of the spoils, and have not obtained them, are sick of him already, and wish that he was at Hali fax ! That moment the Democracy are united, nothing on earth can prevent their triumph. They have Truth, Right, Humanity and Justice on their side. The trarrrrn DEMOCRACY can prostrate all opposition and subdue all its foes. "Our castle's strength Will laugh a siege to scorn." The result of the recent Virginia Elections, proves clearly that the whig party is dissolved; and the other elections this fall will drive the last nail into its coffin. A few mercenary and selfish individuals, for the sake of the crumbs that fall from the Executive table, will adhere to, and defend Gen. Taylor's as they did John Tyler's administration ; burthis will only be a " corporal's guard." If Gen. Taylor's term of office expired to day, we do not believe any party could be found in the country favorable to nominating him for a second team ! The Removal of Ur. Drum. Our attention has been called to the following, extracted from an editorial. article which appeared in the Daily American of this city, soon after the remo val of the veteran Democrat, Simon Daum, from the Post Office, at Greensburgh. The American is ono of the leading Whig papers in Western Pennsylvania, and is the especial organ of Gov. Johnston's admin istration in this city. The government fed paper here, the Gazette, hasbeen justifying the removal of Mr. Drum; but the Deacon could not well . pursue any other course without offending his employers at Washington : " We regret that the removal and appointment-of the Postmaster at Greensburg, in Westmoreland county, has caused mach dissatisfaction, and this feeling we learn, is as prevalent among the whips as locofocos. We feel assured that the facts of the case have been misrepresented to Mr. Collamer. Mr. Drum, who has been removed, is an old man and poor, and father of the noble and chivalric Captain Drum of the 4th Regiment of Artillery, who fell af ter fighting so nobly at the great battle at the gates of Mexico. This fact alone should have saved him from an ejectment from the petty office he held, but the profits of which his nephew, Mr. Lauffer, seems to have coveted. The largest portion or the whigs of Westmoreland, we behave, would have preferred the continuance of Mr. Drum, but if a removal was necessary, we have reason greatly to doubt if Mr. Lauffer would have been their choice." INDIANA. The Democracy of the 3d Congressional District, in Indiana, met in Convention, at Napoleon, on the sth inst., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress. There being no other namo presented, the 'Hon. ionic L. ROBINSON, of ROM county, was nominated by acclamation. We believe this district is at present represented by Col. Lane. Mr. Robin son. is popular, and will certainly be elected. The Democracy of the 6th District, on the 25th ult., nominated Col. Willis A. Gorman for Congress . He was Major of the 3d Regiment of Indiana Vol unteers, and Colonel of the 4th ; he rendered valua ble services in the war against Mexico.

We hope our friends will try these teas, and judge for themselves. far We have received an extra from the office of " Ned Buntline's Own," issued by its Editor, E. Z. C. Judson, in which he denies, most emphatically , that he participated in the theatrical riot in New York. He says that he merely walked over there from the bed•side of a sick wife, to see if the re. ports were true which had reached him in regard to there being a mob—and without knowing a single man is the crowd, while standing in silence on the side-walk, he was arrested.

Here we all aro all desirous to have that sterling old gentleman and firm Democrat, Judge Kerr. (of St. Clair tp.) the next candidate of Sheriff. He has ever been a favorite wlthfill men—there is none more popular—and I feel confident that there is not a man, in all the county, that deserves better of the people, that the old Judge; a plain, straight forward, old-fashioned Democrat; that fully believes in the will of the people. He comes from the heart of the firming interest—identified with us in all things—and we here think it time that we should get a share of the county offices. The county will speak out at the proper time, and we ask the city gentry to give us fair play. The name of Judge Kerr is familiar to all, and as popular as it is familiar.

The last opinion relates to the prevention of the cholera ; but all constitutions. are- not liable to it, any more than all are liable to ague and fever, influ- enza, or any other form of disease. -But although we know of nothing that will prevent the disease, we know of many things which can and do bring it on, alter the poison has been taken into the system. They are etching causes, antught to be carefully avoided. The disease will, owever, assail some constitutions, notwithstanding all exciting causes may be avoided. Orthe exciting causes one has just been mention ed—the premature laying aside of flannel and other warm clothing. In addition to this, (and belonging to the same head,,)getting wet in a shower—remain ing long on damp places-.—sitting in a strong current of air—sitting in the open air at night— and sleeping with but little bed covering—should all be carefully avoided. Every sitting and lodging room ought to have a fire in it firt a part of every day, especially for a few hours before occupying it. Thus, the shop, office, family sitting room, church and school-house should have fires kindled in them early in the morn lallaste, H. EWALT ing, and kept up for two Or three hours ;—but this is still more necessary in lcidging rooms,which should be warmed by brisk fires, kindled in the early pail of the evening, and allowed to born down before bed time. A second dais' of exciting causes is connected sitti diet. Loading' the stomach with any kind of food, especially at night, may bring on the disease ; and omitting to eat at the usual time may do the same thing. Much reduction in the quantity of food (the individual still being in health) is not proper. In fact, a nourishing diet is beet; but it should be plain and digestible. Meat, or boiled eggs, should be eaten everyday. Boiled ham, corned beef, corned mutton, well seasoned beef steak, and poultry are the best. On the whole salted meats are more prop er than fresh ; Pork and fresh Fish should be avoid ed. Of salt fish, mackerel and salmon are too hard; but cod•fish with potatoes is proper. Old cheese is safe, and macaroni, prepared with cheese, may be eaten. Hot bread should be avoided ; stale bread, or crackers, should be used. Of culinary vegetables, mealy potatoes, well boil ed, hominy and rice, are_ not only the best, bat all others had better be omitted. Pies, tarts, and all kinds of pastry are improper, except, perhaps, well baked, and highly spiced gingerbread. Those who drink malt liquors at their meals, should limit them selves to freshly brewed strong beer, well hopped. As to brandy and whiskey, they cannot prevent Cholera. They who are in the habit of using either, should not lay it aside; but they should amid all ex. Cal. Those who have not such a habit, should by no means begin now. The use of brandy in the treatment of the disease, must not be confounded with its use as a preventive. The irritation of the stomach and bowels pioduced by the first impress of alcholic drinks, may even contribute to bring on the disease; and sour wines are still more likely to bring on the same effect. - DANIEL DRAKE, M. Cincinnati, May 11, 1839. To Ike people of Cincinnati: When the Cholera prevailed here in .1832, some persons fell victims to it, who most carefully re frained from every thing that was said to be an exciting cause; and thus, many were led to sup pose that it was a matter of indifference whether they observed any rules or not. But this was a very bad conclusion. Such cases can be explain.. ed away. First. When any disease is epidemic, there are individuals whose constitutions so pre-dispose them to it, that they will be attacked, and, perhaps des. troyed, let them live as they may. Second. 'One reasoei with many persons, why the warning against exciting causes was so rigidly observed at that time, was their terror of the dis ease. Now, that terror was, and ever will be, one of the greatest of all the exciting causes; and hence while the subjects of it were, as they supposed, scrupulously avoiding the whole, they were uncon• sciously cherishing one of the most mi>chievous. This terror sometimes made the disorder seem to be catching. Thus, at the period when the pectr liar remote cause svairevery 'where present, and acting on the systems of the people, but not with sufficient force to produCe the disease, a traveler would be taken down with it among strangers, and, the next day, or even in a few hours, some one who had been near him, would be seized with the complaint, having, as was supposed, caught it. when, in fact, it had been excited by fear in those who were already pre-disposed to it. Through the whole of that epidemic, the emo tion of fear was very strong and widely spread; for the disease was new, and was regarded as as dreadful pestilence. I have no doubt that this emotion greatly increased the mortality. The present epidemic has inspired much less terror, both in Europe and the United States, and has been much less fatal. I cannot doubt that its diminished prevalence and mortality should be as cribed, in part, at least, to an abatement in the dread which the epidemic then spread throughout all the countries west of India The danger now is, that this abatement may render many persons indifferent to what they ought to do, and to what they ought not to do; for in the matter of presei ving health, by regulating and governing their ap petites, or suspending their business, the majority of persons do nothing until they are frightened.— If they are not alarmed, they do what will bring on the disease;—if they are so alatmed as to act prudently, and wisely, their terror then is apt to excite it. To act discreetly, without being scared into it, it is the true wisdom. There Me causes which pre-dispose to the dis ease, as well as causes which excite it. I will mention one—au infirm or disordered state of the bowels. Every person who labors under chronic diarrbwa, should consider himself more likely to be attacked than if such were not his condition. Hence it is that a large proportion of those who served long in Mexico, especially on the southern line, where the heat was great, will be liable to the disease, and should not only, more carefully than others, avoid all exciting causes, but should resort to medical aid at an earlier bout of the at tack, for their danger is greater.
