Progress of the Cholera.
The recent continuedhot weather, and per•
haps the excitements and dissipations of the
Fourth of July, have amused a very considers•
hle aggravation of the Cholera in many places.
We present below a summary of the last re•
ports:
IM Philadelphia there were 22 deaths from
Cholera, being an increase of 10. Of the whole
number 38 were from the Alms House, and 24
were colored people.
In New York there were 98 deaths of Chol
era. The whole number of deaths from Asiat
ic Cholera in New York this season, up to the
Bth inst., is 285.
In Boston there were 24 deaths of Cholera.
' The Boston Transcript, also mentions 10 fatal
cases of Cholera in different parts of the city.
In St. Louis for the week ending July 3,1, there
were 207 deaths of Cholera. It is said that
the deaths front Cholera in St. Louis now aver•
ago 50 per day.
In Toledo, Ohio, the Cholera is producing a
fearful panic; the number of deaths, however,
is not so large as first reported. About 12 die
daily. At Eutaw village, out of a population
200, 21 died of Cholera in 24 hours.
The True Answer.
The true answer to the question, "why is the
Stan debt not paid?" may be found in the fol
lowing simple statement. We will contrast
the receipts and expenditures of the year 1850,
during Governor Johnston's Administration,
with those of the year 1853, during Governor
Bigler's. We copy from the reports of the Au
ditor General for those years, who were of
course sworn officers, and both Democrats :
Total receipts from all sources
during the year 1850, of Gov.
Johnston's administration, $4,438,131 51
Expenditures during the same
year, $4,569,053 94
Total receipts from all sources
during the year 1853, of
Gov. Bigler's administration $9.486,770 08
Expenditures during the same
year, $10,144,963 72
It will thus be seen that Governor Bigler,
during the last year, received viva MILLIONS,
FORTY RIGHT THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-SEVEN CENTS,
more than Governor Johnston in 1850. This
being more than nornie the whole amount of
receipts during that year of Johnston's admin.
istration. And yet it appears that he (Bigler)
has expended this whole stun, and SEVEN HUN
DRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS ad•
ditional, over and above his receipts; or FIVE
MILLIONS, FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND, NINE HUNDRED AND NINE DOLLARS
AND SEVENTY-NINE CENTS more titan Governor
Johnston I I— Westmoreland Intelligeneer.
Democracy and Federalism,
We are never too old to learn, but we arc a
little too far advanced to be gulled by such
humbug as the Lancaster Inlelligneer puts forth
in a recent article. As a specimen brick, we
quote a passage, which says:—.Our national
political history proclaims the solemn, undenia
ble truth, that in the organization of parties
in 1798,the whigs of the Revolution rallied their
forces under the name and banner of Federal
ism ! These are truths which can not be refuted.
They are firmly riveted in the memories and un
derstanding otevery intelligent American cit
izen, who has noted the political history of par
ties in this coutry." Now, as a simple refute
lion to this firmly riveted truth, we may state
that WASHINGTON, HAMILTON, ADAMS, and oth
er somewhat noted whigs of the Revolution,
where leaders of Federalism, and that the Feder.
alists as a party, were the supporters of the con
stitution of the united States; while the Re
publicans opposed it as a whole. Party De
mocracy came in with Gen. JACKSON, after the
Monroe policy of a fusion of democrats and
Federalists, and thus BUCHArAN, WALL, and a
host of other old feds, became modern patent
democrats.—Philadelphia Sun.
The Locofoco Address.
We are informed that the first address of the
Locofoco State Committee, which strongly en
dorsed Nebraska, was presented to GOe. Big
ler for his inspection, and that the Governor
modified it ve7 materially, and sent out an
agent to submit it to the leading Free Soilers
in Wilmot's district, and ascertain whether the
address, as amended, would meet their appro
bation. Gov. Bigler is the veriest coward in
politics that ever filled the Executive chair. If
he has any opinions of his own, he is afraid to
express them, without first torturing them into
such a variety of shapes that it is impossible to
tell what they are. When the agent returns,
we presume the precious document, as amend
ed by his Excellency, will be given to the pub
lie! by
are anxious to see the deformed thing.
[Harrisburg Telegraph.
SCHRECKENZEITM-The Democratic Union,
one of Gov. Bigler's organs at Harrisburg, be
trays great alarm at the progress of the Know
Nothings, and seems to look forward for a fear
ful state of things in this country. It winds up
a long editorial as follows:
We are on the eve of an important election
in this state. The enemies of the Democratic
party have formed new issues. Persecution
for conscience sake enters largly into the prin.
cipals avowed by the enemy. Persecution
against all foreigners is inscribed on their ban
ner—down with the constitution is their watch
word—civil, servile war, blood and carnage,
their avowed object.
Negotiations at Madrid.
The Paris correspondent of the "Cincinnati
Gazette" writes—what, indeed was foreseen as
the inevitable result of his negotiations—that
Mr. Soule has no longer any hopes of an ami.
cable settlement of the Cuban question. The
correspondent says be derives his facts and con
clusions from Mr. Soule himself, and that they
are, therefore, worthy of entire confidence.—
These facts and conclusions are to the follow
ing effect, viz: that the responses and general
conduct of the Spanish Cabinet have been so
uniform from the day on which his first demand
was made, that he has become convinced that
their minds were made up . in advance as to
what line of conduct they intended to pursue.
"No turn which he could give to the nogoti
atious has succeeded in changing the unite - rm.
ity of their replies, or the obstinacy with which
they seem determined to cling to a settled line
of policy. This conduct on their part is based
on two hypotheses whichpossess their entire
confidence: one of which is, that England and
France will lend her their assistance, in cases
of emergency, while the other is, that the de
mands of the Government of the United States
are mere demagogical threats made to subserve
political ends, and not based on the true senti•
ment of the people of the United States. No
treaty has been concluded between France,
England and Spain on the subject; but confer.
ences have been held, from which Spain has
I gathered sufficient assurances to give her con
fidence in their ultimate support in case of ac
tual war. The only question which Spain be
lieves divides the parties, is the question of sla
very in Cuba, and upon this question, when it
comes to the point, she will give in to her al.
lies, as as to secure their support."
MUTINIELL—Seven of the sailors on board the
ship Tarter, bound from. Philadelphia to New
York, mutinied on Wednesday. They struck
the captain, cutting his.head quite badly, and
refused to do duty. In the afternoon Lieuten
ant Jonea of the Cutter Forward, boarded the
vessel at the mouth of the Christie., put the
mutineers in irons and brought them to Wi.
mington. On their way to•the hall. three of
them managed to escape, leaving but four in
custody of the officers. They had a hearing be

to await a trial. They are said• to be desperate

The Position of the War.
The aspect of the war has undergone an en•
tire change, and it is difficult to foresee what
new complications may arise. Austria is rea
dy to march her army of 200,000 men into the
Principalities, thus interposing between the
combatants and preventing further hostilities
there. Austria, however, has not yet received
the Czar's official reply, and cannot receive it
before July 3d, and will not act decisively till
it is received.
The action of Austria is in accordance with
the convention between herself individually and
the Porte.
The whole Anglo-French force is now at
Varna, preparing, it is supposed, fin an expe
dition under General St. Arnaud, in person,
into the Crimea.
The whole Russian army of occupation is
falling back in good order from the Principali
ties, with all its stores on the Sereth and Pruth.
The garrisons of Ismail, Galatz, &c., are alrea
dy on the march to the Crimea; and all the dis
posable force will immediately follow. as that
is expected to be the next battle field.

Know Nothing Prospects.
The New York Herald of Sunday morning
last contains a long article on this subject,
from which we copy the following:
It would not be easy to find a parallel in our
past history to the sudden rise and progress of
the party which is now troubling political cal
culations, controlling elections, and revolution•
izing a large section of the country, ender the
name of the Know Nothings. Day after day,
the telegraph and the mails bring us fresh ac
counts of Know Nothing victories. In the
Eastern States they seem to rule paramount.—
In New York they are a formidable body.—
Philadelphia is completely under their control.
They have penetrated the South, and wield
considerable influence in Virginia.

talion of followers of the new standard. Unlike
their prototypes, the Native Americana. their

ism has planted its roots firmly, and is quite
tho order of the day. On every side, in short,
the contagion has spread, and is large fraction
of the public have fallen victims to its influ
ence. It is hardly possible to estimate the
number of votes which the party controls at the
present moment; but no one eau deny that it is
quite sufficient to disturb all electoral calcula
tions, and work a most important change in
the aspect of our domestic politics.
Fatal Result of Diseased Imagination.
The Enquirer, at Cincinnati, in its issue of
the 4th inst., furnishes the following: A little
girl, about ten years old, daughter of Mr. Ober
land, a resident of the Eighth Ward, as the
clock was striking twelve on Saturday noon,
exclaimed mournfully to her mother, "to-mor
row at this hour I shall be in Heaven." There
was something so sad and plaintive in the tone
in which she uttered this, that in spite of the
parent not being of a superstitious nature, it
made an impression upon her mind, which she
found impossible to throw off. At dinner she
told her husband of the circumstance, and he
endeavored to rally the child, but with a sweet
and sad smile, in which, however, no fear was
manifested at the coining prospect, she repeat
ed her conviction of her speedy dissolution. It
was now the father's turn to feel a depression
of spirits, which overshadowed him the whole
day, so much so, that in the evening, meeting
officer Young, watchman of that ward, he told
him of the child's singular prognostication.
lip to this time the little girl had enjoyed
exceedingly good health, but during the night
her parents were aroused by her complaining
bitterly of pains in her hack and head. As
early as possible a physician was called in, who
pronounced her in a high state of bilious fever.
Notwithstanding all that human aid could ef
feet, she expired at noon. Her fatal prophecy
was fuffiled.
A SLATER CAPTURED.—We have, says the
Washington Star, an interesting letter from
Havana, as follows :
Harana, July 1, 1954.-1 alluded in my last,
by the Empire City, to the capture of a slaver
by the British brig Espugh. The prize turns
out to be the brig Gray Eagle. of Philadelphia,
from the coast of Africa. with between four and
five hundred negroes, which have all been land
ed. When found, the prize lay in a small bay,
near Batua Howda, about fifty miles from this,
with no one on board; evidently parties had
just left her. After the officers of the Espugh
had taken possession of her nearly a day, an
officer from a Spanish man-of-war came on
board *to say that she was the prize of the
Captain of the Purtedo, on shore; whereupon
the English officer gave her up, and she is
brought round here. Her negroes were all
landed in safety. It has since been said, how
ever, that two hundred have been seized, of
course to be apprentices. The owner of this
expedition is said to be Dr. Joachim Gomez,
and believed to he in connection with the Queen
Mother. As I have repeatedly said, the car.
goes are landing in all directions.

A Suggestion.
We would respectfully suggest to Queen Vic
toria and her Cabinet, the propriety of securing
the services of Gen. Scott for sixty or ninety
days in the present emergency. Up to the date
of our last advices, England and France had
done all the talking, and Turkey all the fight
ing. The boasting British Admiral whopledg
ed himself to be in St. Petersburg or Heaven
within a given time, has reconsidered the res
olution, and determined on a different destina
tion; and the allied armies have kept themselves
at a safe and respectful distance from the Cear.
A live Yankee General, with nn American ar
my, would ere this have marched through St.
Petersburg, to the tune of "Yankee Doodle,"
and would to-day have been returning with the
trophies of victory and triumph, to the tune of

far It is said that Mr. Olds of Ohio, that

GOOD ADVICE. -The St. Louis Intelligence/.
in an article on the Boston riots, gives the peo
ple of the North the following piece of advice :
" Instead of killing U. S. officers who are
"discharging a sworn duty in trying to execute
"the laws that you hate, you would show more
"sense and justice in hanging a few of those
"dough faced knaves that you habitually send
"to Congress to make such laws. Who is ref,-
" pc/risible for the so called "Nebraska perfidy?"
" Who but men of the north, sent to Congress
"by the vote of northern people? They have
"the nnmerical majority—they could easily
"have defeated the "Nebraska perfidy." But
"they did not do it. They bartered your roles

CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
WE DAILY HEAR' oldie most astonishing
cures being affected by that great and popular
medicine, the genuine H. G. FARRELL S A•
RABIAN LINIMENT, odd we can truly say,
from our own knowledge, that no medicine ev.
er discovered has performed the same wonder
ful cures, that it has, both in man and beast,
and it is equally good for both, which makes it
so truly valuable. It is therefore hailed by the
suffering as the greatest blessing of the age,
and no one would ever allots himself to be with
out this sovereign balm, who had once witnes•
sed its magic power over disease, and its won
derful potency in relieving pain, however se
vere, in a few minutes' time. We earnestly de.
sire yon to call upon the agent, who will fur
nish you, free of charge, a small book contain
ing, besides other valuable information, a large
list of certificates from many of the most res
pectable persons, of cures effected by this cele
brated medicine, which surely are enough to
convince the most sceptical of its transcendent
virtues. We notice several certificates of rheu
matism cared after thepatient had suffered
everything but death for five to twenty years.
Also cases of paratysis, or loss of use of the
limbs, where the flesh had withered, leaving
nothing apparently but dried skin and bone,
presenting so horrid a spectacle that their
FRIENDS LOOKED UPON THEM AP
PALLED while physicians pronounced them
BEYOND ANY HUMAN EFFORT to re
lieve. It is the most efficacious remedy known
for burns, sprains, wounds, bruised, chilblains,
neuralgia, toothache, bites of insects and rep
tiles, sore throat, sore or weak eyes, tumors,
sun pain, etc., etc.; and is used with unbound.
ed success in most of the ailments of horses
and cattle, such as sweeny, farcy, sprains, brui
ses, wounds, stiff neck and joint, lameness,
swellings, galls or chafes, sore eyes, partial
blindness, etc. If used in the beginning of fis
tula, poll-evil, ringbone and spavin, it will in
variably stop their further progress. Every
family should keep this valuable medicine on
hand, ready for emergency.
Look out for poulleVegs!
The public are 'Cautioned against another
counterfeit, which has lately made its appear
ance, called W. B. Farrell's Arabian Liniment,
the most dangerous of all the counterfeits, be
cause his having the name of Farrell, many
will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge
that a counterfeit exists, and they will perhaps
only discover their error when the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
