Our Paper.
A press of job work, which could not be de
layed beyond Monday last, and to complete
wllich required the moat industrious application
of ell hands, is our apology for issuing but u
half oheet thia week. This also accounts for
the small amount of reading matter which we
give: Our hurry is now over, and we shall
hereafter he able to go on as usual.
Exciting News,

is truly of an exciting character.

New York Riot.

and praiseworthy determination of the authori

than stated in our last. Mobs should always
be dealt with in the most summary manner.
Cr" T. T. Woaru, Esq., editor of the Leb

Lebanon. We know of none more worthy than
our friend of the Courier.
Recent Appointments
The appointments lately made in Philadelphia
are spoken of by the Evening Bulletin, a neutral
paper, as excellent and altogether fit to be made.
" The selection of Mr. Lewis" (as Collector)
says the Bulletin, " is an eminently wise one."
His appointment is declared to be one "directly
complimentary to the mercantile interest and to
Philadelphia," and will," the Bulletin adds,
" we feel confident, ultimately prove as popular

Immense Destruction of Prope7 ty.—
BALTIMORE, May 17.
The Southern mail of this evening brings New
Orleans papers of the 10th. The crevasse in
the levee above New Orleans, has increased,
and the water defies all efforts to stop its pro
poss.—The water was rushing down through
the Second Municipality to the new canal. The
inhabitants were escaping in boats. The whole
of the Fauburg St. Mary is partially inundated.
Nothing can equal the consternation visible
among the inhabitants in the leading streets in
that quarter. In Tahonpitoulas, Magazine, and
Camp streets, the inhabitants arc moving off in
a body, on with a few exceptions, scarcely at
tempting to save their property.
The whole scene is represented as being aw
ful and sublime in the extreme. The roar of the
waters can be heard for miles. In the first and
third municipalities the greatest alarm prevails,
fearing that - the whole city will be inundated.
Some idea may be formed of the loss thus far,
from the fact that 2500 Mid of sugar have been
destroyed.
CHOLERA AT NEW YORK.
NEW Yona, May 17
It now seems to be conceded that the cholera'
is in our midst—whether in a malignant and ep

cases occured yesterday, in the Sixth Ward,
(mentioned in the morning papers.) Of this
number five have died

THE CHOLERA REPORTS-SINKING OF
THE STEAMER EMPIRE OF TROY
DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.
NEW YORK, May la
Three more new cases of dhole - ra wore l
reported this morning, causing much ex- i
citement in the neighborhood where they
occurred, and threats were made to burn
the houses in which the malady is said
to be located unless the sick are remov
ed. The police are in attendance to
prevent mischief. The inhabitants are
sprinkling lime in the streets to prevent
the spreading of the contagion.
The sanitary committee, at n meeting
held this afternoon, pronounce the dis
ease not to be the Asiatic cholera, but
merely cases of diarrhcca aggravated by
the neglect and exposure of those at-
I tacked.
The sinking of the steamer Empire, of
Troy, by collision with the schooner No
ah Brown, opposite Newburgh last night,
has caused much sensation. The steam
ers Rip Van Winkle and Hudson suc
ceeded in rescuing all the passengers
save three. The steamer sunk imme
diately to the hurricane deck, and alarge
number of ladies in the cabin could only
be got out by holes cut in the deck.—
The scene in the cabin was of the most
frightful character, mothers were calling
for their children, and wives for their
husbands. Whilt cutting through the
decks, a lady was accidentally killed by
a blow with an axe.
regions., i
It was thought that the steamship Cal- ;
ifornia would be able to leave about the
28th, manned by amateur sailors, con
sisting of such persons as arc anxious to
get home with gold dust—the result of
their labors.
The agent of the steamer offered reg- •
I 'liar sailors $2OO per mouth, which was
i refused. W. ,
THE GREAT" DEMOCRATIC" PRINCI
The Nashville Whig says—The "lamenta
tions". of many of the Loco-foco press on the
one hand and their fierce attacks ou Gen. Tay
lor on the other, ((or the few removals he has
yet made,) show what they consider the greatest
Democratic principle. You may beiit them in
the elections and they will take it very kindly.
Defeat any measure, however dear they may
profess to hold it, and it is all well enough, if
you will just let them hold the offices. But
pull one of their office-holders loose from the
public teat, and a7spontanemis howl of ;amen
teflon will tic sent forth from all parts of the
Union. It seems that the idea of as to the vic
tors belong the spoils," has become the great
one idea with them. Touch their pockets by
removing a• few of them from office, and they
become as venomous as vipers, and strike right
and left like an irritated blind rattlesnake in the
dog-days.
A NOTIIER MAarya.—John T. Fenton has
been convicted of robbing the Post Office at
Winchester, ''a., and sentenced to .1 years' im
prisonment.
The late Locofoco Navy Agent at Wash
ington, is a defaulter to the tune of $50,000 !
That's the way Locofoco office-holders feather
their nests ! Old Zack ought to be ashamed of
himself for proscrtbing such honest Locofoco
Officers !
WILLIAM H. MacyELL, Esq., a brother of
the Irish patriot and exile, has been appointed
a Clerk in the Home Department, by Mr. See-
retary Ewing
CANADA.-There was another outbreak in
Montreal last Wednesday. An attack was made
upon the Hotel where the Governor,General and
the ministers were dining. The troops were
ordered out, and the mob dispersed, after doing
what mischief they could.
Rica.—Father Ritchie, speaking of what he
calls the operations of the guillotine, says that
"the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the
church." To which Prentice replies, that it
must be a precious "church" that springs from
such rascally blood as circulates in the vent of
the mass of the ejected placemen of Polk's ad
ministration.
Err Mrs. John Quincy Adams still lies in a
very critical state at Washington. She is coher
ing under a paralytic stroke, with which she
was attacked a couple of weeks since. The
left side is said to be entirely dead.
EFFECTS OF EATING CAMPHOR.--On
Sabbath morning lest, the youngest son
of Mr. James McKinley, jr., of this place,
aged 18 months, almost lost its life by
the eating 'of camphor. 'the child had
gotten hold of a bottle which contained
several lumps of Camphor, and swallow
ed a portion of them before attention
was directed to What it was doing. In
a few minutes it was thrown into spasms.
A physician was immediately called in,
who by assidions attention restored the
child to health.—Washiiigten
