almost a single trait of the many which go

The daily exemplury life of the truo Chile

FI St ItT CHOLERA KFIUERIIC IS ft MERIC’..
The following brief account, of the appear
ancff'iff lbe Asiatic cholora upon this continent
' In not without interest, lbe epidemic liu,t
Bhoweil iMelf, or at any rata frrt began to
spread iu 1817. This was at Jessore, tbo capi
tal of Baugal, 100 miles northeast from Cal
cutta. Ravaging India and various parts cf
Asia for thirteen years, it was not until 1830
that it passed Lbo frontier of Europe, visiting
in succession, Russia, Poland, Austria,
llurg »ry, and passing thermo into the t nito-
Tiosofthe Wester” natioos. It is computed
that up to May 1831 ouo-sixth of the people
Os India and Persia, one-fourth iu Mesopotamia
and Armenia, and ou.’-third iu Arabia per
ished from the disease. From five days to six
weeks ;y»s the usual duration of the visit to
any particular locality. Its progress was usu
ally from fifteen to e ghteeu miter a day. In
October, 1831, it first appearod at Sunder! nd,
In England, and fn Leodou in February 1832.
The number of deaths from cholera was 32.000
On the Bth day of June, 1832, the cholera
manifested itself at Quebec, the capital of the
Canadas, 3,000 miles distant across tho ocean,
to the nearest infected spot in Europe, The
population of Quebec, both recent and tran
sient, was estimated at 32 030. Cases, to
September id, 6,783 ; deaths, 2 218. Ou the
10th of June, it appeared at Montreal, one
hundred and sixty-six miles from Quebec.
Cashs, to Sopfi rnber 21st, 4,420 ; doaths, 1,904,
Imputation, 28000. The disease reached its
maximum at Montreal in nine days, at Que
bec in seven. The course of t'e epldim c in
Canada was along the St. Lawrence, Mffvctirp
tho villages that.iine it& banks, aud extending
to the fatms of tho open country. Fiorn ti e
St. Lawrence, it- spread along the shores of
Ontario, skirted Lake Erie, arrived at Detroit,
and has p; netratod by Lane Superior to the
Mississippi.
This epidemic first Invaded the United States
at the city of New York,
hundred and ninety-one miles south of Mon
treal; without a possibility to trace its immedi
ate origin. The first subject of it was an old
resident of the city. Noplace on the line o l
•ommunfeation between New York and Cana
da was attacked with the disease previous to
its appearance in that city. JKveu Albany,
the great-way house between New York and
Montreal, remained untouched until the *d o*
July. Cases in Albany, to Sept. 8, 1,146 ;
deaths, 418 Population, 26,000.
The population of New York, during the
prevalence of cholera, was estimated at 140,
WOO. The number of deaths iu the city m 1831,
with a population, resident and transient, of
at least 225,000, was 6.563; iu 1332, 10,359.
gThis oes to show, as iu the cases of Louden
and Philadelphia, aud where malignant chol
era prevails, other diseases exist to a great t-r
extent. Cases in New York from July 4 to Au
gust 28,6,814 ; deaths, 2935. Whole number
of deaths from its commencement to it termi
nation, iu October, 8,515. Ratio of dea.k.;'
to cases to one to two. lto climax e.
the epidemic arrived July 21, on which
day 811 new bases were reported. of
the deaths in New York. 29* were f*>t sS<i
oases) at Belevue Almshouse, three m les d:«-
taut from where the first case occurred. Ice
first case at this plase was that of au old wo
man, on the 27th of June, who had be.n cm -
slued to the house a number of years, and who
•ould not have become infected by any exter
nal communication.
With the exception of a verv limited cam
ber of cases at New Haven, Newport, Provi
dence, Boston, Troy, aud a few other pia.es
»U that part oi the United States lying east ot
the Hudson River, was entirely exempted from
he lav.-.ges of this great destroyer.
IL* first case of this epidemic in Philadel
phia, appeared on-the 5h of July, 1862; the
sec- nd on the Scb; but its influence did not ac
q ii:e its full sway until the 27th. Distance
from N w York. 85 miles; Montreal, 480
‘•M possible circumstance to account for the
distal?, by cnEmunication, existed.’’ The
population cf Philadelphia, within the bills of
mortality, was JGO.OOO: but it must be grant
ed .ha' many people left the city. The num
b rrf cases in this city to Sept. 13th, was
2 814. deaths, 933 Ratio of deaths to cages,
one to two and a half. The disease reached
its climax on the 7th of August. It appeared
with great violence; 86 cases 46 deaths.
It appears by observations made in this city,
-w York, and elsewhere, that the period of
life most liable to attack, is from fifty to6ixty ;
ad that mo“t exempt, fiom two to ten years.
The proportion in regard to sexes in this city,

Thk hcHi.ESwio Holstein Question —The
wearisome problem of the Duchies is still en
listing the attention of the diplomats of Aus
tria audJPiursia. It has dwindled from the
extent of a European to the limited confines of
a purely local question. The latest meeting
oetw; en the magnates interested wss at Salz
burg, when Austria and Prussia decided that
th military occupation and civil administra
tion of Holstein should be undertaken by Aus
tria alt no; that Prussia should discharge the
tamo duties in Fchletwig ; that Rendsburg be
c mes a federal fortress, with a Prussian gar
rison ; and that tbo Duchy of Laurnburg is
definitely ceded to Prus-Ma, Austria receiving a
pecuniary indemnity for the cession of her
rglits in the possession of duchy. The
port of Kid,-though in Holstein—which is un
der Austrian administration—is to be occupied
by Prussia. No arrangements have been made
ai to the succession to, the throne of the
duchies.
I 1 is Interesting, and at onco ludicrous and
painful, to observe how cntir.ely the people of
il.e Duchies ate disregarded in the disposition
ro.ido of their territory. The sovereigns of
Ans'r'ii and meet at the remote town
o' S dzlmrg, or the more insignificant chatteau
of Gastein, and there arrange, as nearly as
their j- don-ies*will permit, the affairs cf the
deluded people who seceded from Danmark
only to fall under the yoke of legs sympa
thizing .nd more distant pnwers.
Emiqration.—According to the figures from
f ffi -Ul sources, emigration thus far this year,
had not. been as rrlek as last. During the
month of August more than 22,000 passengers
arrived at Caatlo Gardeif. Os this number
12139 alieua and 429 citizsrs came by
21 steamers ; 9,2G0 aliens aud 183 citizens by
29 . ring vCciels. At least one quarter of all
ihe aiions -.vh arrived, amounting to 21,399,
proceeded South ; one quarter or more to the
Wrvtoas St tees, while the balance were distrib
uled throughout the Eastern and Middle
Status! •
X4(itwitheiinding these figures may bo large,
yet emigration the present year does net-keep
pace with that of 1864; For the seven months
oi last >ear ending in August, 128,357 par
ser g r3 wero lan- ed at New York, and the num
bi-r during the same months this year, 119,-
645, shewing a failing off of 5,712.
i fforls are now being mado by the leading
societiew to ugain increase the interest in
■ migration movement in foreign countries.
No JTT.ia ot labor arid promise ore .now of
fered to the steady yeojrany ot Europe. The
vtsf uncultivated tracts of land in the fertile
Sou h, are ready to be improved by tham.
We predict that the rush cf laborers to our
she; cu from Europe will soon be larger than
ever.
Thk FexiAHs akp lueland. —The Fenian
movement threatens to become a serious mat
ter, betere long. Tt-is belief gains ground iu
El: land, and there is do less reason for think
ing soTri the United States. All the signs
mulflpTy Appeals are being made in tho
various leading Irish journals in this country
for active co-operation on tho part of liish
me.i in America to assist Irishmen at homo, by
fund;drug money for revolutionary purposes ;
and the allegation is made that a formidable
organization already exists in Ireland, pledged
to tuteain a provisional Government. English
pavers by tho last mall seem to confirm the
s aiement here made. A Liverpool paper says,
“ the Fenians: it appears; ara not confined to
the southwest c-r western part of Ireland. They
are to be f-und in the north as well. A body of
them lias appeared -in the county of Down—a
district where their existence was never dream
ed of. It would really seem as if the acoounts
which have come from the other side of the
A miic respecting the preponderance cf the
Fenians iu Ireland were a fact, and not as
many persons on this side of the water be
l'.’-. ed, afl -tion.” The Cork Constitution also
Bpeaks of frequent asssemblages of men in
numerous localities for military drill and dis
cipline.
What will be the result of the present move
ms. it remains to be developed by time.

The Mineral Wealth cr c-cb Territories.— j
The developments of the mineral wealth of
oar new Territories bos become a settled poli
cy, in which the Government unites with the
people. Tbo former ha3 given invaluable aid
in the numerous surveys and explorations
made of our trans- M's-rissippi territory, at it- :
expense; in the encouragement it has extends
ed to orerland stage lines ; in its large appro
priation of land and money for the constric
tion of railways to the Pacific ; and in the lib
erality it Las shown to the miners in permit
ting them to occupy its mineral laads without
charge. Large armies have been actively eu
gaatd in holding the Indians in check, and in
protecting frontier settlements anl lines of
travel. Meanwhile the people have been
flocking by tens of thousands to our immense
auiiferious and argentlferious regions, and
capitalists are supplying the machinery neces
s-vy to develop their wonderful resources.
The same systematic and scientific skill that
Is displayed in the Atlantic States in miniDg
c6ai cr manufacturing iron, is now being di
reefed to mining operations in the Rocky
Mountains. Cities have sprung up like magic,
in 'he wilderness: Nevada boasts already of
Virginia City and Austin as two of the most
flourishing towns in our country. Colorado
has net only Denver, but several other pros
perous cities. And evsn Idiho boasts of a
town of nearly ten thousand inhabitants. The
inland transportation necessary to supply the
Wants cf all these vigorous young communities,
of itself furnishes employment to an immense
number of on*rget'C met), and the profits de
rived from it is a perpetual incentive to the pro
jectors of P.chic railway enterprises to hasten
their completion. The product of gold and
silver for. the present year ia the United
States will probably reach at least $100,000,-
000, and this annual production will soon be
doubled, bo that our country will infinitely ex
ceed aii others ia its yield of the precious met
als.
General Lee on Submission td Authority.—
We have previously noticed the appointment
of Robert E Lee ;o the Presidency of Wash,
ington College, at Lexington, Ya. In his let
-1 terot acceptance, he says ; “It is the duty
“ of every citizen in the present condition of
“ the country to do all in his power to aid in
“ the r storatiou of peaco and harmony, and ia
“no way to policy of the State or
“Gmsral Government directed to that ob
ject." And in another place ho remarks:
“ It is particularly incumbent on those charged
‘‘ with the instruction of the young, to set an
“ example of submission to authority.”
The Board of Tmstees of the Institution have
C ill jd a meeting, and ia a series ot resolu
tions “heartily concur ia and fully endorse
1 the sentiments ro well [expressed by General
‘ Lee ; sentiments that canuot fail to commend
‘ themselves to the approval of the President
“ of the United States and to the unqualified
“ assent of ail sensible and virtuous citizens ’’
This is g 0.l advice. It followed out to the
letter, it will tend to restore quiet and har
mony at once.

Our New Postmaster, Foster-Blodget, Esq.,
has taken formal possession of the office.
Col. Hartry, (he o slicer of the Government de
livered up to him his charge on Saturday.
Mr. Biodget has been postmaster before.
Ho understands well the du»its of hia position.
We feel we do not say two much in his favor,
when we predict that he will givo complete
satisfaction to all. Obliging to a fault, prompt
and efficient—these are good qualities which
wi.l reads! him popular with all. Our citizens
should recollect that things are somewhat
mixed up as yet and should not expect too
much from Mr. 8., at the start.
Col. Hartry, the gentleman, who, for some
limohas been acting Host Master, has given
complete to our citizens —at least
who have been aware of the disadvan
tages under which he labored. He deserves
much credit for what he ti&s doue.
Cotton in India — l ate advices state tha
the breadth of c (ton sown in Western India

pointed Minister Resident to Guatemala,
Canada and tue United States — The fal
lowing summary of the re;u’t of the last cen
sus in 1851 of the United States aid Canada
respectively, establishes the following facts;—
That during the interval between the last cen
sus and the preceeding one, tha decean and rate
of increase of population in Canada exceeded
that in the United .State; by nearly 5,\ per cent.
Canada adding 40,86 per cent, to hoi- popuia -
tion in ten years, waile the United States ad
ded only 35, 58 per cent to theirs. That she
brought her wild lands into cultivation at a
rate, in nine years, exceeding the ra - e cf in
crease of cultivated lands in tie United States
in ten years, by nearly 6 per oent. Canada in
166 Q havinu added 50 acres of cultivated land
to every 100 acres under cultivation in 1851,
while the United States in 1860 had only ad
ded 46 acres to every 100 acres under cnltiva
tlon in 1850. Tbat the value per cultivated
acre of the farming lands ot Canada in 1860
exceeded the valus per cultivated acre t»f tbo
farming lands of the United States; the aver
age value per cultivated acre in Canada being
S2O 87 and in the United States $16,32. That
in Canada a larger capital was invested in agri
cultural implements, in proportion to the
amount of land cultivated than in the United
States; the average vaiuo of agricultur .1 irnp'e
meats used on larm l aving 100 cult voted
acres, bemsr in Canada $lB2, and in the United
States $l5O.
That, in proportion to the population, Cana
dt in 1860 rateod twice as much wheat as the
United States; Canada in that year raking
11 02 bushels for each inhabitant, wh lo the
United States raised only 5,50, bushels IVr
each inhabitant. Thai bulking together e’ght
leading staples of Agriculture wheat, corn,
rye barlev, oats, buckwheat, pea® an-1 bea- s,
and potatoes-Canada, between 1851 and 1860,
increased her production of th- se articles f- otn
67 millions to 123 millions of bushel —an in
crease ot 114 per cent., while the United States
in ten years, from 1850 to 1860, increased their
productions of the same articles only 45 per
cent. That in 1860 Canada raised, of ihese
articles, 46.12 bushels for eaih inhabitant,
against a production in the United Stale® of
43.42 bushels for each inhabitant. Th»t—ex
cluding Indian corn from the list—Canada
raised of the remaining abides 48 07 bushels
for each inhabitant, almost three times the
rate of production in the United State?, which
was bushels for each inhabitant. Aud
that, as regards livestock and their products,
Canada in 1860, in propoition to her popula
tion, owned more horses and more cows, made
more butter, kept more sheep, and had a
greater yield of wool than the United States. —

Prospective New States —Colorado, Idaho,
Montana , Nebraska and New Mexico, live out
of the ten territories, m>y be expected to
candidate before the next Congress for ad
mission to full sisterhood. It is only late
ly that the public attention has been suf -
ficiently withdrawn from more absorbing ob
jecte, to take in the fact that during all Iho
waste ol war there has been a surprising
process of growth going on in the remote
West; a fact which has the most important po
litical as well as commercial bearings. Colo
lado has now only to form a proper .Slate Con
Etitution to secure its admission ; its popula
ton is variously estimated ; seme say sixty',
others eighty thousand ; even at the first esti
mate, having almost doubled since the census
of 1860. This population has mainly been
drawn to Colorado by the geld mining, which
diflors from that oi California ia tha coo puta -
tive absence of “placer diggings;” quartz
mining is the business of Colorado, requiring
heavy investment oi capital in machinery, and
tending apparently to produce permanent im
provements and comparatively stable commu
uicaties. The fieid there lor qoarlz-miniLg
seem to be abundant ; only the Pacific rail
road is needed to lessen the present great ex
pense of transporting the heavy machinery
from the East. Agriculture offers to emigrants
the attractions of a productive soil in the val
leys, and high range of prices.
Idaho and Montana, a \asfc expan:-o, are both
drawing population fast wiia tbo miner’s
loadstone, auc* wdl each, it is thought, number
near one hundred thousand inhabitants befoie
tbo year ends.
"ebrafka is nearer, lias b on before the pub
lic longer, and is thought to have over fitly
thousand inhabitants, gathered in a more
steady way of growth ; a good climate and
soil. New Mexico Is old enough to come- in
as regards date of settlement, which was made
by the Spanish in. tbp sixteenth century. It
has about one hundred thousand of popula
tion, about one third Indians.
The next congress will probably have on its
hands, in addition to the serious problems
which are a’ready under discus-ion among Hie
people, the question of admitting to our fellow
ship five new States —Hartford Conn. Tress.

Prepayment of Postage.—Frevious to March,
1864, all letters were required to be prepa and,
and tbe people had become po accustomed to
law that not more than 50,000 unpaid let
ters were annually returned to the Dead Let
ter office. But at that date CoDgiets passed a
law permitting all unpaid lebers to paes
through the mails, the receivers of them pry
ing double rates. This arrangement resulted
disastrously to the revenues, and so at the late
Congress the law absolutely requieg the pre
payment was restored. Jho people genener
ally, however, are not aware of the fact-,-
for the number of unpaid letters returned to
the Dead Letter Office averages 14,000 per day.
