We have g.ven our opinion, of the climate

our chain and traversed the State line and.
the lines dividing the 17th from the 9th

Our appeal nec, and the object of our visit
excited among (he Natives, curiosity, and
to those whites who have intermarried with
the Natives, feelings of hostility toward us (
our State government and its authority.
At the lime of our arrival, the Native*
were prompted to believe that they would
be soon reinstated in all their former Laws
and institutions, but e’er a week passes they
are struck with consternation and dismay

cause it will root out those men who have

I It is stated in the London papers that at
Musselburgh, in Scotland, the authorities
after the appearance of the Cholera, adopt
ed the plan of fumigadng.ihe streets, lanes,
and houses here with chlorine, raised from
sea salt and magnese, means of sulphuric
acid ; and it is worthy of remsrk that from
the commencement of this operation the dis
ease rapidly diminished in number of cases,
and in virulence, so .hat in eight days it
hid entirely ceased in Fisherrow, and the
instances of it have been very few even ia
the Masselburgh district. At Portobello,
ano her Scotch town, the Cholera had just
began to rage, and from the 17rh to the
