Emg. The Horse.—'Thu Canadian horso it a har dy curiosity. “ Tlio winter travolling in Can ada is Bomoiimca very expeditious. Il is sur prising with wliot apeed n good Canadian hone will go when druwing a cabriolet rver 'ho ice, instancra having occurred of tfyem travelling ninety inilea, ip ono of theao vohi- .ilea, in twelve.Iioura; but when this occurs, tlio roads must be very smooth und bard. The Hioea of lheir horses are never roughen tid, as in this country, by turning up the ends qf them hut by inserting two or more steof screws, which can be removed or reitowcd at plcaseiu. 1 he horses of CuuaJn are very hurdy animals ; llicir best pare is a trot; thev are accustomed to much' bad usage and hard work, and are the moat willing creatures in the world, fur they never refuse tho draught.— They are brought front the country into Que bec, in the coldest weather, and left standing in the open air, without covering, for hours to* geilur, while their owners ore transacting then business or drinking, and they seem not to be any the worse lor n. In the winter, the Canadian hor»e, like all other quadrupeds of •hat country, acquires an increased quantity ol fur to protect him from tlio cold, and curry combs il never used. When the horses have been betted by fakl driving, in i cold day, they appear to hnvo a sort of icicle at every hair, and icicle* two or tlireo inches in length an often suspended from their notes. Trav elling on Lake Cbamplniu is at all timo dan gerous i it is very common for sledge, horses, aud men, to fall through the ice, where the water it some hundred feet deep, and there ia no warning of danger till the horses drup in, pulling the sledge alter thorn; luckily the waak places are of no great extent; the trav eller extricates himself f,„ m ,h„ sledge .a aoon at possible; and ha finds the ice strong enough to support him, though il will not bear we, 8 h .‘ ,be ho "*«- The pulling of them out » done in a meaner perfectly uni- tqow: the hones, are strangled to .. Ve lh ei, lives. When the horses fall through—f or there are always twom these aledges-their struggles ooly tend to injure and sink them- but, aa they have always round their neck a mpp with • running noose, the moment the ice breaks, the driver and passenger get out* and, catching hold of llie rope, pull it with their force, which in a very few minutes stran gles the horso; end no sooner doos this hap pen than they rive in (he water, float on one side, and aro drawn out on strong ice, where the noose of the rope being loosened, respira tion returns, and in a short time the horses are on tlioir feet, und as much ulive ns ever.— This operation has been known to l/o perform ed two or three limes a day on the same hor ses. The Canadians toil you, that horses which ure often on the lake "ei so nceuslomed In being hongerj, that they think nothing at all ( ,f il. Kill though the case is very common, the nllempt does not u'wnys succeed ; for it sometimes happen, that both slcdgo and horse pa in the bottom, if they cannot be extricated in lime Another'remarkable fact ia regard In tlio Canadian horses, is llicir fondness for fish. The fish thus eaten, execpl in sizo re sembles it rod, and arc from four to nine inrli- es long; tho English call them “ tommy end.” The manner of catching them is hy cutting holes in the ice, und by pulling down either nets or lines. Over this hole a temporary house is built, large enough to contain half a dozen people, and a stove to keep them warm. They who cannot afford deals to build a house, substitute large pieces of ice, with which they form a defenee against tlio weath er. Midnight is the best time for fishing, and u strong light is placed near tho hole, which allrucls the attention of the lish, and brings lliem round it ill largo quantities. There nro a number of these houses on the river St Charles, wliish have a strange nppenrance in n dark night, especially those made of ice.” Coffee.—The coffee-pot should ho three parts lull of boiling water; the coffee is to he added u spoonful at n^mr, and well stirred between each ; then boil gently, still stirring to prevent the mixture from boiling over ns the coffue swells, and to force it into combina tion with tlio water, this will bn effected in a low minutes, after which, the most gentle boil ing miisl be kept up during an hour. The coffeu must bo then removed from tho lire to settle, one nr two spoonfuls of cold water thrown in assists the elurifieution, and precip itates the grounds. In about an hour, or as soon as the liquor has become clear, it is to lie pourod into another vessel, taking rare not to disturb the sediment. • Coffee mado in this manner will ho of the finest flavor, and may bo kept three days in summer, and four or five in winter; when ordered for use, it only requires healing in the roffee-pnl, and liiuy ho served up at two minutes’ notice.

To Headers and Correspondents.—An apology is due to our reeaders lor the barrenness of our columns this week. In order to aciommndate our advertising friends, whose favours came in at a late hour, we have been compelled to lay over matter intended for our present number. Tho translation of an address delivered before the Phi-Kapp: Society on the 4th Inst, hy Monsieur Guen* uhaull, shall, if possible, have a 'place in our next Wo htvo received xeveral other communications which shall be attended to hereafter. To our friends Judge Clayton and Tho. Foster Esq. we present our thanks for the several valuable Con gressional documents and speeches which they have been so good as to forward us from time to time. ICT- Our friend Dr. , the correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle, aceins to have worked himself into a moat violent passion with us, and calls us every thing but rlcvcr fellows and “ big” Editors. Now this ia truly ungrateful in the Dr If we wore severe in ad ministering tho castigation which we were compelled to indict upon him, he should recollect it was all for bis good, and done more in mtrey than in anger. We hope however, notwithstanding the nervorueness of our friend, he will yet profit so.uewhxF by l)ie correc tion ; and hereafter guard himaelf against the indul gence of that inveterate propensity of hit to meddle with matters oul of hie reach and that should not con cern him; and which if not curbed wilt forever subject him to mortificaliun, if not to danger.

With this serious piece of advice we say, once and for all, go—ba wise, and remember that “ Experience wounded is the school Where man learns wisdom, out of smart.” Iry We are requested to atate that the Old Hundred Society of Uue place, under the direction of Mr. Marek, A Failure!—Tho “ Virginin Advocate” gives us tho following account of tho proceed ings of (ho Charlottesville Convention, which assembled on Tuesday and adjnurnod on Thursday. It consisted of thirty Delegates only—representing throe boroughs, apd nine only out of the one hundred und ten counties in the Stale. Nut more than 12 or 13 of the counties moved in it at all—and this small show of bands was effected, by all the active drumming und animated appeals which have been made through the public prints nnd other forms. If Virginia principles were so much in danger, us has been represented, Virginin would not, could not, have remained so lipt- less and indifferent upon the occasion. We should have aeon a greater movement in tho State, aud a fuller deputation at Charlottes, ville. This evidence of the public sentiment, is conclusive. Virginia will support the norm, nation of the Baltimore Convention. She will not divide the party, defeat an election by the people, and throw the election into the Semite. Air. Barbour will not get her vote; und even if be did, lie would nut be one of the two candidates to go before Iho Seuute. Push ing bun, therefore, at this time is only calcula ted to injure tho cause, and himself—and wo hope that tho scheme will be dropped. We are aware that this suggestion will not be agreeable to tho opponents of the Adininistra- lion—and lltut every effort is making to pre- Vent Mr- Barbour from coming out as Johnson and Dickerson did, lu deprecate division in the ranks, and to withdraw bis name. We see appeals publicly made to his pride, and to his firmness—by n paper devoted to Mr. Cal- huun. But he is not tlio man, that ho has al ways been taken for, if he listens to such ap peals, and fields to such considerations. What will the friends of Mr. Clay now do? Will they run u ticket of their own—Aut Coe- sar aut A’utlus. “ Win the horse or lose the saddle”—judging from the weakness of the Charlottesville Convention, as well aa from the current of public sontiinent, that Air.

Murder of the old and the young, of the defenceless infant and unoffen ding woman, burning and devastation mark their course. Even destruction dues not sat isfy their rage. Manglings of the dead bodies, nnd the most attrocious and disgusting indig nities follow tho work of death. Fifteen per sons, men women and children, were surpri sed and murdered at a settlement on Indian Creek, a tributary of Fox Uiver v on tho ulti mo. Two young women were suffered to live, but were carried off to Indian captivity. A small parly r;f seven or eight men, led by Mr. St. Vrniii, the agent for the Sacs and Foxes, in endeavoring to make their way to the Head Quarters of the army, were sudden ly attacked hy u much superior number of In dians. Two of the party wero killed. Mr. St. Vrain, when last seen by those who es caped was fleeing, pursued by ten or twelve Indians; his fule is not yet known. His escape was barely possible, and it is feared lie fell another victim to the unsparing rage of the enemy. Reports have reached the station of the ar my that several murders had been committed on citizens of Vermillion county on the Wa bash. To n requisition for men, that district answered, that its inhabitants were required nt home.—St. Louis Times. The Washington Globe stntes that orders have been issued from the War Department, for the concentration at Chicago,of about 1000 men of the regular army, from the garrisons upon the sea-board and the lakes, nnd that General Scott has been directed to tnko the command of the operations against the hostile Indians. Wo learn that measures have already been taken for raising the mounted rangers, authorized by the recent act of Congress, and that these will march, without delay, to the scene of warfare. General Scott has been empowered to call for such militia from the adjoining Stales as circumstances may render necessary. The plan of operations will be by a combi ned movement of Iho troops under General Set.it nnd those under General Atkinson, from Chicago and the Mississippi, to attack tho Indinna on both aides, and scour the country, till they nro entirely subdued. We are inform ed that Genernl Scott has orders to reduce them to unconditional submission, and not to suspend his operations, while any of the hos tile Indinns remain east of the Mississippi,— They will bo required to cross that river, and to repair to such district as may bo ass-gned to them. And such arrangements are con templated concerning boundary lines, as ef fectually to prevent the recurrence of similar aggressions. Thu surrender of Black Hawk, nnd some of his principal Chiefs,as hostages for for these people, and to secure the frontier against their fu.uro cruelties, is mado indis pensable. Indian Hostilities.—The Indian War ia con ducted by the savage enemy with all the cru ellies and barbarities that have ever marked Army movements.—Pursuant to the order of the War Department, received here on Satur day, we understand that Alajor P.ivno and his company proceeded on Alondav morning in the steam boat for Philadelphia, on their way to Chicago, via New York and the lakes.— Wo also loam that five companies nro expect ed from Fortress Monroe in the steam boat to-day, destined for the same place, which, with the two companies from New York har bor, also ordered there, will make neurly a regiment. Those troops will be joined by se veral companies of infantry, the whole to bo under tlio command of Major General Scott, and are ordered to Chicago to co-oporate with Gen- Atkinson's command, in driving tho hos tile Indians from that frontier to the West of the Mississippi River.—Baltimore American. In Congress, both houses were very busy oil the 22d inst., the nbsorbiog subject, howe ver, being the Tariff Bill, which is depending in Iho House of Representatives. Having got the bill oul of (he Committee of the Whole, it was taken up yesterday in the House, aud the amendments made in Committee wero concur red in by the House, with the exception of tho amendment which proposed to reduce the duty on Salt, from 10 to 5 cents per 66 lbs., which was rejected—Yeas 87, Nay* 102. Tho bill having been gone through, Mr. M’Dulfio of fered un amendment, proposing thnt all Cot tons of the value of 15 cents the square yard, should pay a duty nf 12 1-2 per cent, ad valo. rein. Before any decision was had on this amendment the House adjourned.—Charles• ton Courier. Cholera at Quebec, Montreal, Sorrel, St. John’s and Laprarie.—Our worst apprehen sions in relatin'n to this dreadful disease, are painfully realised. Its ravages at Quebec are most appalling. Wo this morning saw Mr. Cone, of Charles ton, 8. Carolina, who left Quebec on Tues day, and is one day in advance of tho mail.— He permitted us a few miuutes before the North American left, to see a copy nf the Quobec Gazette of the 11th ir.st. from which we muke a hasty extract. From the Quebec Gazette, June It. The Asiatic Cholera.—Wo announced the existence of the Cholera at Grosso Island ou Friday. It ia uow in the city. Its effects in an American climate are likely to bo more sc vere than in Europe. It becomes the duty of all to be vigilant in repelling the ravages of this common destroy- Cleanliness, temperance, regularity of habits, moderate eating and exercise, and ex emption from all excess, ore the best prevan- lives. The greatest number of deaths aro from Champlain street. Three or four deaths have occurred iu the upper town. Deaths have been caused in from five to six hours. Four o’clock, P. M—The Board of Health have just made a report, from which the fol lowing is an extract; Board of health, Quebec, June 1 If A. It becomes the painful duty of the Board of Health to announce (he existence of the Asia- tic Cholera in our city and noigborhood. This decision is founded after mature deliberation upon the unanimous opinion of the medical gentlemen of tho city. Thirty-four deaths have occurred within the last forty-eight hours. The editor of the Gazette gives the follow ing rases, as having been reported. At the Emigrant’s Hospital.—39—cases-: deaths—22 (Convalescent. At private dwellings.~20—cases-15 deaths. On board the steam boat in which Mr. Cone our informant, slaricd for Montreal, one death occurred before she left the wharf, four per sons were attacked soon after thoy got under way; one parson died and was thrown over- board, before reaching Sorrel, where the au thorities of Montreal stopped the boat, and where cases had already broken out. In addition to tno foregoing, a gentleman direct from Montreal, who arrived this mor ning,informs us that there had been 15 cases 7 deaths at that place; and that the disease had broken out at St. Johns and Laprairre. Cholera.—Our advices this morning are conclusive as to the existence of the Cholera at Whitehall. The case heretofore reported was not Cholera, hut Delirium Tremens Tho ( Subjert, a Mr. Lnrnerd of Troy, wax in this city a few weeks since at Howard’s it) Broad-street, and it was his custom to drink some half dozen Glasses of Brandy and-wa> ter before breakfast, to keep off spasmodic at tacks ! The death of the Porter and woman, are no doubt by cholera, but the fact of its not having extonded itself is highly gratifying. The death of the emigrants on ihe Mohawk nnd Hudson Rail Road, was in nil probability also from Cholera, but it occurred in a pure atmosphere, nnd there is no reason to believe thnt the disease was communicated to others. In Montreal on (ho 14th, (Thursday) 90 ca- sos, 54 deaths, besides those in Hospital. W e are happy to announce that our city is unusually healthy, and that the authorities nod our citizens generally, are taking all the neces sary means to guard against the spreading of Ihe disease if it should malio its appearence among us. Half past ll o'clock.—A private letter has just been shewn to us, dated Quebec, Thurs day morning. The writer says “the Cholera is laying with unabated fury, and attacks high nnd low indiscriminately.”—Eew York Courier and Enquirer, June 19. Cholera at Whitehall and Fort Miller.— William Hay, Esq. one of our most intelli gent citizens, has just returned frnm the nurlh with painful intelligence. Mr. Hay was at Fort Miller, and gives us tho following intelligence. The emigrants at that place are Welch peo ple, of respectable appearance and about 40 in number. The first ruse was supposed to be Cholera Morbus, of winch Iho subject soon died. I mmrdlately after, the sister of the first patient who attended him was similarly attack ed and also died. The third ense was the husband of the sac- nnd, and the brother-in-law of the first. Ilo sunk in a few hours, under slight spasms, and without the violent symptoms attending the local Cholera Morhus. The inhabitants nf Fort Miller were divided in opinion about the character of the diseaso. No precaution had been taken, and the emi grants were to leuvo there to-day. As it was now certain that largo numbers of emigrants directly from Canada are among us, the only means of precaution left, consists in a thorough radical purification of tho city. We must breathe a fresher and purer atmos phere, or the winds will blow contagions nod. pestilence through our streets and into our dwellings. Nor should tltoro be a moments- delay. Precious lune has already been lost. Ablutions of every description, personal and genernl, private und public, should commence immediately. Every man, woman and child should instantly commence the work of purifi cation, about their persons, their garments, their kitchens, their collars, their yards aud their vaults.—Albany, June IS. From the .Yeic York Courier, June 20. We' lust night learnt from a gentleman in the employ of Alessrs. Carlton and Cook, ot Montreal, who left that placo on Friday nt three o'clock, that on Thursday last ho was in the office of Dr. Nelson, an eminent physi cian, und belonging to the Alcdical Committee, who informed him that there occurred on that day 150 cases between sun and sun, 105 of which proved fatal, and that thoy were burying the dead all night. On Friday, however, it had somewhat aba ted, having heard of only 30 deaths previous to his leaving. Our informant alsu left St. John’s on Satur day at l o’clock, and heard that there had been no cases of cholera at that place. He cume in u sloop from Jo n’s to Champlain, and from thence to Whitehall in the steam boat, there being no steam boat running now from St, John’s. Fow coses had occurred among those of temperate habits. Extract of a letter to the Editors of the Courier and Enquirer, dated Montreal June 14. Air. Ross, one of our first merchants, is just taken ill. Several persons taken ill after sun set last evening, were hurried this morning—’ mostly Canadians. About 130 cases in threo days. Extract of a let ter from Montreal to a respec table mercantile bouse in (Ins city, dated June 15.
