Ju-fi'i Ravage of the Cholera.
Nkv York, July 8. Tha steamship Em
pire City nrrireil here, thi afternoon, Irom
New Orleans, via Havana and Key Westr
'having left Havana oi the 28th lilt., and
Key Went on lhe 2!th. She report that
(he steamship Philadelphia had arrived at
Havana fionAspinwall, but in consemience
of having lhe cholera on board was r.ot per
mitted to enter lhe harbor. On tho second
day after lhe Philadelphia aailed from As
pinwall the cholera broke out among the
crew and passenger, and by the time she
cached Havana forty of them had died,
among whom was Mr. Birdsall, the U. S.'
Mail Agent. On arriving at Havana Phila
delphia was ordered off and proceeded to
Key West, whero she would land her pas
sengers. The authorities at Havana would
not even allow the ship to remain two miles
outside the harbor for the purpose of obtain
ing fresh stores.
The Empire City brings about 80 passen
gers. From tlie rnnoma Stnr, June 17.
NEWS I ROW BOGOTA.
fly tho late English mail, we received full
files of Bogota papers, fmm them we learn
that Mr. Arosemena's bill, proposing the
erection of the State of the Isthmus, has lint
passed the Senate. The representatives
readily admitted and approved the new law
though we believe their decision must have
been greatly influenced by Mr. A.'s pre.
sence in the Chamber. The Senato had no
great advocate in it ; the bill was therefore
considered very coolly, and coolly laid aside
It was said that such an important measure
ought not to bo adoptel without consulting
the people of tha Isthmus. This is the fiist
time tha Senate thought of consulting the
people. We think, however, that so far as
tho people of the Isthmus are concerned)
they care little or nothing whether lhe bill
passes or not. We have no desire to com
ment on the subject at present.
The rojos, or red republicans, have not
been idle. They brought an accusation
against the Archbishop, a man respected by
all who know him (except the rnjos,) and
easily succeeded in having him banished.
The good Archbishop is now on exile. All
this is done through a feigned respect for
the law, but we see more plainly in the
matter. Tho Archbishop is General MoS'
quera's brother, and that accounts for every
hin&. It will bo remembered that General
Mosquera and General Herran, former Presi
dents of New Granada, were also pjected
from tho Senate. In fact, things are done in
this country which would astonish even the
Turks.
The forced loan did not pass. The Presi
dent is authorized to negotiate a voluntary
loan, cither at home where there is no mon
ey le be had, or abroad, where it will not be
given. The President is also authorized to
raise an army of Ihiity thousand men, end
to declare war against any nation or nations
aiding Flores, in his attempts against Ecu
ador. By a degree dated lhe 14th of May, Con
gress has ceded the Island of Mansanilla to
the Panama Railroad Company ; also lhe
right of property over such ground as the
company may recover from the sea, at the
two extremities of tho rail road. The de
cree prohibits all persons fiom travelling
over the rail road, olherwlso than in the
company's cars, and subjects those who in
fringe this rule to a fine of 200 reals, or lo
CO day's imprisonment.
LATER FROM THE I'LAI AMD SANTA FE.
Gentlemen arrived at St Louis from Santa
Fe, bring intelligence of the return of Gov.
Calhoun, lhe state of whose health prevents
a longer stay in the Territory. Previous to
his departure, the headquarters of that divis
ion of lhe army had been removed again to
Santa Fe. The reports of sickness among
the troops and trains en route for Mexico
and Santa Fe had been exaggeialed, yet the
chwlcra had prevailed lo an alarming extent
The troops in command of Major Stein had
rrived at Fort Atkinson, about half way to
Saute Fe. Twenty men out of 183 up to
that time had died of cholera.
In Aubrey's train seventeen men were
clown with the cholera at one time. He was
fortunate in saving all who were attacked
but one Tha cholera in his train, as well
its among the troops had abated.
fcince lhe Governor's departure, anil that
of the Secretary, Col. Sumner has removed
his head quarters from Albaquerrpie lo Santa
Fe whether permanently or not, remains
to be seen so that i( is now a civil govern
ment, under control of the military. Pur
hap things may go oa fmoothly under lhe
resent circumstances, yet 1 am a little ap
prehensive that some trouble may grow out
of it.
The Commissary Department, at Fort
Union, as I have talegraphod you, was en
tered a short time since, and a large amount
of provisions abstracted. A parly of sol
diers pursued a number of the thieves into
the moutaius, and succeeded in capturing
(wo of them.

EDITOR'S TAHLE.
IUMASCE. ' '
A number of "younff scamps are in the
daily habit of bathing in lhe river in front
of the borough and along side of the public
road leading to Northumberland. No per
lon can pass along the road, at any hour of
the day, without seeing aslring ol naked
boys squatting like turtles upon a log or
running upon the beach. Such indecency
can no longer be tolerated. It is the duty
of parents to teach their chilJren to behave
properly, and such practices are indicative
of gross and shameful negligence and un
faithfulness. The High Constable whose
duly it is to guard the public from nuisans,
pays no attention to this branch of his busi
ness. One or two arrests and the imposition
of the fine would teach the boys a whole
some lesson. As the officers seem to be
unwilling voluntarily lo perform their duty
an effort will be made to place the mat
ter complained of in such a form as will ef
fectually abolish the practice of these dis
graceful exhibitions. A number of our
subscribers I equest us to say that they are
determined to make information against all
persons found outraging law and decency
in the manner to which we have referred.
THE SUPREME BENCH
Receives the lollowiag compliment from
the Pennsylvania Telegraph. Probably a
better set of Judges could not be selected

We hesitate not lo say that Ihn members

tCT" A conflict of authorities has occur
red in Philadelphia. His honor, Judge
Thompson, of the Common Tleas, declared
that tavern keepers who sell liquor on Sun
day come within the law of 179-1 relating
to the observance of Sunday. A suit was
brought before Alderman Mitchell against
Messrs. M'Mackin to the penally. The
alderman overruled the opinion of Judge
Thompson and gave judgment for delend-
rharacters of living light on the brightest
page of our country's history.
Our Country : May she ever bo as now,
the mistress of the sea, the champion of
civil liberty, the home of the oppressed,' the

Oua National Fi.o : May the stars and

OUR XEXT LEGISLATOR.
Mr. Editor: As the time is approaching
for the people to select o candidate for Legis
lature of this county, wo would beg leave to
present before them, lhe name of JOHN
FARNSWOKTH Esq , of Upper Augusta
township.
M '. Farnswotth is a man of intelligence,
of unimpeachable, integrity, nnd of fixed prin
ciples. He is such a man as wo would have
represent onr county. For a number of years,
he has been Piolhnnolary of this county, and
has (we believe) given eutiie satisfaction lt,
all. For Legislature we want a man of
sound reason, discrimination, and firmness.
Such a man is Mr. Farusu orlh, and in ull the
requisites for that office, wo confidentially
assert that he is competent to perform the
duties incumbent upon said office.
He has always been a sound, unwavering,
nnd consistent demociat, and if nominated
Northumberland county would (we think)
show her appreciation of him by giving him
the largest majority we have rolled up for any
man for years.

him from the busy scenes of life, bill there
is a circle of fiiends who know him and love
him well, who miss his pleasant voice? nnd
cheerful smile, whose bi.Eoms teel an itching

stamped their kgiprcss upon his manly blow.
Industry gathered for him the reward she al

ftfntlrmen : I have the honor to acknowl
edge your personal kindness in presenting
me, this day, your letter, officially inform
ing me of my nomination by lhe Democratic
National Convention, as a Candidate for tho
Presidency of the United Slates.
The surprise wilh whhh 1 received the
nomination, was not unmiugled wilh painful
soliiude, nnd ye! it is proper for mo to say
that lhe manner in which it was conferred
was peculi arly gratifying. The delegation
from Nev Hampshire, with all lhe glow ol
Stale pride, nnd ull the warmth of personal
regard, would not have submitted my name
to the Convention, nor would ihpy have cast
a vote for me under circumstances other
than those w hich occurred.
I shall always cherish wilh piide and grat
itude a recollection of lhe fact that that
voice which first pronounced for me, and
pronounced alone, came from lhe mother of
Stales a pride and gratitude rising above
any consequence that can betide me person
ally. May 1 not regard it as a fact pointing
to the overthrow of sectional jealousies and
looking to the perennial life and vigor of a
Union cemented by the blood of those who
have passed to Iheir reward a Union won
derful in ils formation, boundless in ils hope
and amazing in ils destiny 1
I accept the nomination, relying upon an
abiding devotion to the interests, honor and
glory of the whole country, but beyond and
above all, upon a rower superior to all hu
man might, a Power which from the first
gun of tho revolution, in every crisis through
whioh we have passed, iu every hour of our
acknowledged peril, when the dark clouds
have shut down around us, has interposed as
if to baffle human wisdom, out-march human
forecast, and biing out of darkness the rain
bow of promise. Weak myself, faith and
hnpa reptse there in security,
I accept the nomination upon tha platform
adopted by the Convention, not because this
is expsoted of ma as a candidate, l)ut be
cause the principles il embraces command
