By the late arrivals we have some chol era news. It seems to be retreating back to its native place—lndia. The deaths in Constantinople have been fearful in num ber. One thousand a day are said to have died; 200,000 people fled from Constanti nople. At Barcelona the cases averaged 12 a day, or 115 in the city; 50,000 have left. At Malta, the Press says : The Mussulman population nightly per ambulated the streets, chanting hymns and prayers for the averting of the scourge. Among the Greek population the fright has almost resulted in a famine, bakers re fusing to make bread, butchers to kill meat, aud grocers to sell provisions. The panic among the masses ot the people is out of all proportion to the dauger. In Ancona, and other places on the Adriatic where it prevails, it is very fatal, and of those attacked, more than half have died. There are in Berlin twelve thousand cellars inhabited, in six thousand three hundred of which different trades are car ried on. The thirteenth part of the pop ulation, or forty-six thousand persons, in habit those dens. The Valparaiso (Ind.) Republican says that potatoes are rotting in almost every part of the county, and it cannot be told to what extent. The population of Indianapolis is esti mated at 50,000. The Fenians are to have a State Con vention in Indiana on the 4th of October next. All the societies, it is expected, will be represented. Mrs. Alice Coortman, a resident of Ob servatory street, has been in the habit, for some time past, of taking carbonabfobf mag nesia to allay or neutralize thapeia in her stomach. On Tuesday, she requested her husband to purchase some arsenic to de stroy rats. He purchased the arsenic 4pd placed it in the same drawer where was kept the Magnesia. On Tuesday night she went to the drawer and took the arsenic in mistake for the magnesia. Medical aid was immediately procured, but she died early yesterday morning. Coroner Carey held an inquest, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Cincinnati Enquirer. The Chicago Republican, in noticing the call of the Radical Republicans of Wiscon sin for anew State Convention, denounces the half-hearted, timid policy of their con servative brethren, and adds: The Republicans of Wisconsin refuse to allow the “vital issue” to be ignored, and are resolved to oppose the President, and “fight it out on that line.” “Fight it out” by voting for the ticket made by the conservative brethren, who ig nored the “vital issue,” refused to de nounce the policy of the President, and en dorsed his patriotism !

Mattsell,* of the New York Police Gazette, has been sued for libel by a member ot the bar, whom he call a “mut tonhead lawyer.” How will Stevens, Sumner and other Radicals, who adhere to the Territorial theory, respecting the Southern States,*rel ish Mr. Seward’s letter to Mr. Adams, in which he says: “The United States con trovert and deny the declaration of the Vice-Chancellor that they are the succes sors of the rebellion, and, on the contrary, they maintain that they are now, and dur ing all the time of the rebellion have been, just what they were before the rebellion began, a sovereign State, absolutely enti tled to the regulation and control of all pro perty and persons within the United States, subject to the liabilities of their own Con stitution.” Surgeon-General Barr yesterday receipt ed to the General Government, for the State of Ohio, for Tripler Hospital pro perty, and will immediately issue a circu lar preliminary to establishing a Home for disabled Ohio soldiers. The whole amount turned over to the State by the United States authorities will reach, including Quartermasters’ stores, $150,000. The mining districts of Virginia have recently been thoroughly explored with a view to encourage and promote im mediate operations. They are described as marvellously rich in minerals and metal lics. Two policemen are now on trial in Glasgow, Scotland, charged with the murder of a homeless youth of sixteen years, whom they discovered asleep uponja limekiln, and whom they maliciously pitch ed into the poisonous vat. From Brazil. - Rio Jan Kino, Aug. 8, 1805. Just as Brazil was congratulating the people of the United States on the suc cessful termination of a cruel war, she finds herself involved in one which is call ing forth all of her energies. Her terri tories have been invaded by a host oi semi-barbarians, who have committed most cruel depredations in the provinces of Matto, Grosso and Goyoz. But the just ness of her cause has found her friends, and the too sanguine Lopez has received a check by the combined force of Buenos Ayres, Montevideo and Brazil. The Emperor is off to the seat of war, followed by the Oonde d’Eu, who arrived from Europe in the last English packet, together with his consort, the Princess D. Isabella. The mail from the river informs us that the Emperor, after visiting the troops in Rio Grande, set off for the frontiers to have an interview with Mitre and Flores. The Paraguayans are in great forco on the right bank of the Uruguay, and Flores is marching to meet them, while General Caldwell, with the Brazilian forces, is ad vancing to cut off their projected descent into Rio Grande. The disaffection of Ur quiza’s troops could not have been com plete, as he has had an interview with Mitre, and was well received. Lopez’s steamers have been worsted in a tight with the allies, and those that remain are lying under the protection of a formidable fort in the Paraguay river. The ram which has just arrived from France will soon leave Rio for the seene of action; but as she draws sixteen feet of water, she will bo accompanied by one built here, drawing only eix feet, nearly ready for sea. Another is on the stocks still more heavi ly plated, aud of light draft, being intend ed expressly lor the river Paraguay? When the call was made for volunteers it was responded to most patriotically; but the material was not of the best quality, and as none were rejected, you may imagine the distress of a set of weak creatures from the Northern and warmer provinces on their arrival in Rio Grande in thhynclement season. r uHnperished by hundreds, and the news of this led the Emperor to visit the to make some sanitary im proveiH and to assist, out of such a heterogetyms mass, in making an efficient army. An edict has been published to-day de claring the draft in force, but calling upon the national guard to volunteer. Married men with children and widowers with children are exempt from the draft; but persons holding government situations, and who are liable, will be drafted should they not volunteer, and can never hold any sit uation afterward under the government. The manner of drafting is this: Officers of different grades are stationed on the pavements in the principal thoroughfares, attended by a guard, mostly of a sable hue, and challenge all whom they suspect to be legitimate game. Likely lads of the Portuguese nation, who are not provided with protective documents, are marched off instanter. The eagle eye of the officer enables him to select his game, and Eng lish and Americans are seldom interfered with. The Monoga, which arrived here yester day, two and a half days from Bahia, will have to remain some days in port to get provisions, as there is not a barrel of beef or pork in the market, having all been bought up for the transports at enormous prices. The Wachusetts is in the same predicament, and it is supposed she will go to Bahia for provisions. The smallpox has been prevailing in this city, supposed to have been introduced by volunteers. There is a great scarcity of good vaccine matter in the city, but twice a week medical men are in attendance in a government building in the Campa de Acclamacao to vaccinate all who wish it. Name and residence of each is entered in a book and a certificate given enjoining the bearer to return to report the effect after eight days, and such as arc chosen serve to vaccinate others. Rows of black nurses, with white sleep ing infants in their arms, make quite a con trast to that part of the building where the operations are going on, and where such a squalling is kept up as makes it quite a relief to gain the open air. The police have been for some time on the track of some counterfeiters, and have finally captured the principal individual, together with the plate, press and other appurtenances, besides eighty-five thousand milreis in twenties on the bank of Brazil, white, and of the third series, well exe cuted. Now, the question is, how did they obtain the paper ? The doorkeeper of the Convent of St. Bento had a few on his person, and con fessed to ten thousand milreis more in his cell. Their destination will be Fernando Novonho. The City Improvements Company are bringing the drainage of the city to a close, and when that,with the paving will be com pleted, Rio may boast of being the Queen City of South America. * The Missouri emigrants have proceeded to Parnagua, in the province of Parana, there to form a nucleus of a sort of Amer ican colony. They may expect to find some sympathy for their pro-slavery senti ments; but in this they will be mistaken, and will find that Brazilians look upon slavery as a great evil, but an institution that cannot be suddenly done away with. Several plans have been projected for gradual abolition, but none have been yet adopted, and it is to be hoped that it will take place without the violence which mu tual antagonism brought about in the Uni ted States. We have cheering news from the coffee districts, the caterpillar having disappear ed; and as the railroads are extending their beneficial influence into the interior, more land is taken up and the cultivation of cof fee increases in proportion. Mr. Van Vleck Lidgerwood is here looked upon as quite a public benefactor for having introduced so much machinery into the country-of his adoption, and even the English who have cause to be jealous of some Americans who settle here, feel themselves to be gainers, as they can only sell just as much mer chandise as there will be coffee to pay for, and his prosperity is identified with theirs. Mr. Lidgerwood is quite a favorite -with all, and has become a member of the socie ty for the encouragement and assistance of industry, of which the Emperor is patron. Mr. M onroe, our Consul, has gone home ] on a visit to his family, leaving Mr. Henry Milford in charge, and he could not have pleased us better. Under. Mr. M., and the obliging and active Oordeiro, things work smoothly. The police having protected the Ameri can missionaries in their worship, they now hold their meetings with great regularity, and they are about to establish a Sunday school. The culture of cotton does not progress as predicted. A gentleman who resided on the estate of Jeff. Davis two years as physi cian, commenced on a small scale a few miles from Rio, but has abandoned it in fa vor of sugar, as being more remunerative. However, there are districts where cotton will have the preference, far into the interi or, where it will be made into ooarse goods, for the manufacture of which American machinery will bo some day in great de mand. Roberts and ilarrah have gone to the United States, leaving Mr. Jacob Humbrid to finish the great tuunel which is approxi mating its completion. Report says that Harrah has gone to build iron-clads for this Government and from his experience and activity much is expected. The two iron clads which are building here are of French construction, aud have yet to be tried. The present Minister of Marine, Senor Saralva, is a very active, intelligent and worthy mao, and Brazil could not entrust the improve ment of her navy in better hands. He has given Mr. Henry better conditions, that bo may proceed with the second dock, and give in plans for a third of larger dimensions. Much credit is due to the indefatigable Fletcher for getting the bill passed in favor of the American Hue of steamers, and the company are much indebted to him, and ought to reward him handsomely. The arrival of the first packet will cause quite an excitement, pro and eon. The Brazilliaus hope that it may lead to a greater unity of tho two countries and to the wel fare of both. Other parties predict a fail ure of the scheme, and as it interferes di rectly with their interests, they cannot look upon it with a favorable eye; but to use ft pliraso much in vogue here, Vereinot,- (orrc&pondcnce llie K. Y. Ilerald. Noil S. Brown on the Situation. This distinguished Tennesseean, at the meeting held in Nashville on the 23d inst., was called upon for a speech. The Nash ville Gazette gives the following report: Neil S. Brown having been called for, ho took the stand, aud said he felt some deli cacy in taking a prominent part in the pro ceedings of the meeting. The resolutions met his hearty concurrence, and he intended to give President Johnson h?s hearty sup port.- Let tho past pass away; to history it belonged, and to history he commended it. If he could show that the South was right and tho North wrong, or vice versa, what effect would it have ? It would not bring to life the thousands of bravo men who had died in maintaining their opinions, nor soothe the sorrows of the widows and or phans. Our duty now is to set to work and repair, as far as possible, the damage sus tained, and to kindle in tho minds of the people a patriotic feeling. Many had lost wealth, but what of that? The conflict, over which ail mourn, is ended, and be has yet to sec the man engaged in the rebellion who is not heartily in favor of harmony and good will. There may bo, and doubtless arc, dissatisfied persons, but their occupa tion is gone. The Government of the United States must be sustained, ardently and honestly, and ho rejoioed that Presi dent Johnson promises to pursue a policy so wise, broad, and patriotio. Let us not despair. We may meet hard oases, bat let the machine ruu ou. We already begin to sco tho light cf day breaking around ns, and all will sooa be at peace. The Presi dent has issued his amnesty proclamation and is granting pardons to those excepted. Let each of us pass an act of amnesty and forgive all who have injured us. Every man who has a soul big enough to bo saved should forgive and be forgiven. If the thousands who have fallen on the field of battle could rise from their graves, they would say—Live in peace and harmony.— No man ever found fault with the Govern ment ot the United States—it was the best government on earth, and he intended to support, it, hoping it will live as long as government may be needed among men. lie rejoiced at the prospect of peace, and advised the people to work, work, work; give the Government a hearty support, and do it cheerfully. Let us be trne, honest and faithful in all our relations. New Order from Secretary McCullooh, The following important circular, relative to Southern trade, was issued Monday by the Secretary of the Treasury: “Treasury Department , Sept. 18, 1865. —ln the circular issued by this department, on June 21, 1865, reference was made to the provision contained in section 47, of the Internal Revenue Act of June 30, 1864, conferring upon the Secretary of the Treas ury discretionary power in regard to the as sessment, levy, time, and manner of collec tion of taxes in the States lately in insur rection.” Under the authority given by that section, it was then stated that the department with out waving in any degree the rights of the Government in regard to taxes heretofore accruing, would not insist at present upon their payment, so far as they were payable prior to tho establishment of a collection district embracing the territory in whioh the tax payer resided. Ic was further provided that manufac tured articles found in the hands of a pur chaser, whioh were satisfactorily shown to IPave passed from the manufacturer before the establishment of the district, should not be subject to tax, unless transported beyond the limits of the State lately in insurrection. No exception was theu made in favor of ar ticles which had remained in the possession of the manufacturers, and thus beoome lia ble to the tax imposed by the existing law. The Department, preferring to test the practical working of the regulation before exercisiug its power of modification in this important particular, representations since made relative to the hardship of this dis crimination between manufacturer and pur chases have been corroborated by carefn inquiry, aud induce the conviction that ft further exemption is justifiable and advisa ble. It is found that considerable quantities of manufactured produets have been retainec Vol. LXIII—No. 14* by the manufacturer in bii own bands as the safest mode of investing his property until the return of peaoe; that this ralsatisa was determined on, and oarried eat without Ik* knowledge or opportunity of knowledge of the law subjeotiog this property la heavy taxation on sale, and that a large part of the manufactures so retained having been nseh deteriorated in value by the lapse of time and want of proper attentioojwould not new sell for a sum equal to the tax. A state of things so destructive to the usefulness of property and to the prosperity of the manufacturing classes is as adverse Is the integrity of the Government as Is those of tho community. For these menus, it is hereby oidered, that all articles, is whatss* ever hands found, wbieh can ho shown In the satisfaction of the assessor to have boon manufactured before the establishment sf the distriet, shall be held free from the psm ent assessment or collection sf tax, salens transported beyond tbs limits of the Stalss late in insurrection. Manufacturers of articles liable to ssisnrs for want of inspeotion marks will present Is the assessor evidonce that saeh articles were manufactured prior to the setsblishmont of thedistriot; and the assessor, if satidUd, will cause such articles to be as marked as to be identified and sold without liability Is seizure. • All articles transported beyond Ohs limtls of the States lately is insurrection will ha subject to the tax due under the law in form at the time they were manufiMtsrsd.
