There is a lingering reeling abroad among men,
that fine writing is that style wherein the figura
tiie predominates, and where plain, straight-for
ward narrative hardly finds a place.. I think that
• tbe mars of mankind, in all ages, have imagined
_this to be the highest style of eloquence, under
thernistaken oPinion'that it war of very difficult
attainment, being so_ differentfrom the ordinary
form of colloquial speech., To, this, I_ reply that

One or two examples Isaiah says:
"Fear not, thou worm, Jacob; Ind.ye men of
Israel; I will help' thee, saith the Lord, and thy
Redeemer, the Holy Oncof - Israel. Behold, I will
make thee a new, sharp threshing inttrument,

and beatibeta small, and shalt -make the hills as
chaff. Thou abaft fan them and the wind shall
carry them away, and the Whirlwind shall scatter
them; and thou 'shalt rejoice in the Lotd,"
In Deuteronomy, Joseph is described in the fol

"His glory is like the firstling of his bullock,

Th , blind poet of Pagan antiquity exhibits the

which was able to clothe all the properties of ele

THE STEAM )OAT EMPIRE SUNK ON TIM
_HUDSONz 1111.EIL
7.*Fr*:thetNinit York imperil of .Friday evening
we gikthilettielietillif of a most melancholy occur
re2etWifich took.ilace on the Hudson river, be
,
twee% West Pointand Newburg. About 10 o'clock
P. M., the Empire, on her way up the river, with
aboui four`hundred persona - ori boani;ivais ran
by the schooner Noah Brown r of 180 tons, tindef
the following circumstances:
The wind was blowirig fresh and . the schooner
under rapid way, when danger of collision was
first apparent. - The pilot of the Empire, Mr. Levi
Smith, called out to the schooner to lull, but no
attention was paid to him. The steamer at the
same time backed, and was under a slight stern
way, it is reported, when the schooner struck her
near the forward gangway. She was not brought
up until the schOoner's bow entered the steamer's
side.
-The passengers on the Empire being in the
cdttfuston that ensued was awful, and was of itself
doubtless the cause of death and wounds that nu,
der other circumstances might have been avoided.
,Great numbers were seen to jump into the riv
er at the time of nod subsequent to the collision,
but it was hoped that by far the greater portion
of these were picked up by the boats which came
to their asaistence from the shore. Her cabins
ate still supposed to contain dead bodies, that had
not yet been reached at ball-past one o'clock yes.
terday afternoon.
The steadier Rip Van Winkle was a short dis
tance astern of the Empire, and in a few minutes
was alongside, and the passengers who badassern.
bled on the promenade deck, were transferred
aboard, and 'the sinking boat taking in tow and
carried to the flats, where she was still , lying, par
tially out of water, at 7 o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
There is reason to fear, says the Post, that over
a hundred lives have been lost. The Rip Van
Winkle only took off from 70 to 80. We are as.
sured, by W. Hubbard, the pilot of the Roger Wil
liams, which arrived from Newburgh this morn
ing, up to 7 A. M., only fifteen or twenty were res.
cued by the boats. Assuming that one hundred
were thus saved, all the rest who did not escape by
swimming must have perished.
The boat was a quater of a mile from-the shore
when she sunk, and none but expert swimmers
could base saves themselves, unless they rt.
ceived aid from the boats; and those thus rescued
are included In our list.
Immediately after the alarm was given a great
number threw themselves madly into the water,—
A. lady, who bad evidently just left her berth, rush.
ed out, crying for some one to save her, and was
about to leap on to the schooner but was seized
by agentlenaan who prevented her from falling
into the water, which would have occured if the
had attempted so long a leap. He tried to calm
her, but without success. She rushed from him
wildly, and was cot seen by him again.
The screaming of the victims was heard with
frightful distinctness on the top of the hill in tbe

relief of the sufTerers, but.none arrived probably"
until she had sunk to the hurricane deck, in which
condition she was found by Mr. Hubbard when
he arrived. Scarcely five minutes elapsed between
the collision and the sinking.
Loud cries were made immediatly for axes to
cut open the upper deck to relieve the occupants
of the ladies cabin, whose screams were heart
rending. A hole was finally effected, and one fe
male, who was sitting under it in bar berth, was
taken from it unharmed. Attracted by cries uns,
der another part of the deck, the men made a hole
es soon as possible, but before they were success
ful, the object of their labors bad disappeared.
Two bodies were brought ashore just before the

were not recognized.

Tb Mojor Got. Taylor, President of de nit:a Scats:
Sit:-1 have the pleasure of . communicating to
you, and through you, to the different heads of
departments, to the army and navy of the United
States, and also to all foreign diplomatic agents at
or near the seat of our government, my theory of
CUOLEAA, and a sticcesiful poetics founded upon
that theory. lam the more disposed to give you
an abstract of my theory and practice, at this
time, of that disease, es it is taking off hundreds,
not only in other countries, bat in many parts of
our own.country. X shall•limit my observations
to a single letter, yet 1 flatter myself , l shall be
underetood: ' . • : '
' That the disease is conveyed,in.the atmosphere
there seems to be no reason to doubt, or that it is
wafted in carients. There is as' little reason to
dispute that it attack's those who are predisposed
to it by their containing in their system matter or
air of a similar nature with that floating in the at
mosphere. We find the negro more subject to it
then the White-man; the white 'Man more than
the white.woman. The negro has more nitrogen
and less 'oxygen about bis person then the white
man: It, is this super abundance of nitrogen
which I take to be nearly allied to the remote
cause of cholera. 'By its effects' on the' skin, it
produces a relaxation of the intestines and a re
trograde motion of the
,lacteale and lymphatics,
'and particularly the thoraCie duct, which is al. ;
ways_ found empty in post mortem, examinations.
When the relaxation of the iniestinei takesplace,
the fiecal matter is first discharged,and then comes
the chyle and- lymph, which are thrown •on the
intestines in the form and.appearance of rice-wat
er, and so out.." We now perceive the reason why_
therifis no bile in the discharges,ithere being no
new blood out of which•th secrete bile • as - also,
why there is no urine in the urinary bladder, that
being always found draWn up into a knot, There
is no new blood sent" to the kidneys out of which
to make urine; the disease is indeed, a , flooding
away of. the'Aite ;blood, (if .I may, so cell
If I um correct, we see a mistake that has hereto.:
fore been made in looking to the liver astheciuse
of the disease, or being in fault, as an excuse to
give calomel to goad the: liver into action , to se
crete bile, when it has nkithing,,sent to IC.Out
which to make it. The same may .besaid of• the,
kidneye; 'they cannot be; charged 'with being at
Tnz CHOLERA.
eupPlYing' the urinary .bPI
urimkes no new blood is sent them otii.itf ;Which
to make urine. : When .the:Lteat matter to dia.
charged, then comes the rice;Water, siiitt-iaa few_
moments p
s culltipse takes place. Then' we are
told that the_ patient is beyond the tench' of the
curative plan
I say, not so ; we now give astringents—soy ;
one grad or opium and four.grains of kino every
'.half-honr. To children, we giye strong:tincture
iir.cinnamon,-,-sey a tea spoonful or so every half
'(This'Ai s ncture should be made out of the
balk.) We then strip the patient, and throw the
coldest water we have over the whole body, hasti
ly wipe dry, and putinto blankets to be allowed:
give him or her a little well boiled corn or gruel.
The cold water Coming in contact with the nitro
gen on the body, It formi a neutral: the cramps
are instantly dissipated, and the regular circuity•
tion returns: the patient is cured. The -cold,
clammy feel of the skin, called sweat in the col
lapsed state, is not sweat, but a condensation of
the hydrogen of the atmosphere; the blank and
blue appearance is the air pressing on the surface
of the skin on the muscles, which are deprived of
the lymph or watery parts of the.blood.
I have already'accounted for their being'no bib:jilt
the discharges. I come now to the great.thirst; that
its owing to an °shunted state of the system ; tho
same is seen in persons bleeding to death---the call
for water; and hunters tell us thlit doer and other
animals, when wounded run for water. If wo arc
asked bow we account for the cramps, we lingerer,
it is by the sudden subduction of lite through the
blood. The same is seen In the bullock alaughteted
by the butcher; it is not the email wound that is made
but the drawing off the blood suddenly. I give in
such cases'cold drinks, or allow my patients. to eat
ice.
In 1833 I publathed my theory and practieo, first
in a paper then in a book; and subsequently I bad
opportunities of patting my theory into practice, and
proved it successful beyond all doubt.
With blab respect, I am,

The Attack on the SherllT—Excitemeni
at Easton.
Emma, May
. 17, 1849.
This .day has beep a day of great excitement a
mong us. The Sheriff went to the scene today with
a pone, to obtain the boats of Mr. Pennypacker, of
the Durham Furnace. One of the boats was taken
in tow, and the boatmen managed to run it agrotind.
Considerable scuffling ensued— the tow rope was
captured and re...captured, blows were struck, the
Sheriff was knocked down in the rneke,and fired up.
on one of the rioters.
• Soveral prisoners were cap
tured; mune of whom were rescued. • Storm were
thrown by the boatmen, and some persons injured.
The boat however, was not captured, ned still re
mains in the canal. 'Mr. Pennypacker made for the
Collector , . office at full speed, where he remained
shut op for some hours. Tho Sheriff, deeming Pea
nypackees life in danger, assembled an armed posse
to rescue him, and got out a six pounder. One of
our citizens, A. H. Reeder, Esq, anxious to prevent
bloodshed, offered, lithe Sheriff would wall that he
would go alone and bring Mr. Pennypacker home,
unharmed. This was acceded to, and by means of
a little remonstrance, effectually accomplished—tho
boatmen escorting them to the bridge. The Sheriff
has summoned an armed posse for" tomorrow morn
ing, to capture the boat, and our town is much et
eiteu.
The boatmen have behaved badly to day. What
