The announcement that the cholera has appeared in Dresden, two Americans beiner among its victims in that city, brings to mind the predictions of various scientific men that the development of the continental railway system would assist the propagation of this dreaded disease to an extent which would be likely to assume grave proportions. Mons. Fernand Papillion, a distinguished French physician, who has recently pub lished an essay on this subject, says that the Turkish and Persian Governments have shown a great deal of intelligence and ac tivity in hindering the movements of pil grims and other crowds of travelers wVo i. .. .. i . i i. .i . , ,!:, to ueeu carrying ine pestilence with them at their own w ill and that sub - iuj;nr nxn ULTII UlUUe ill SlOppillg the inroads of the disease from its old quar ters in Arabia, Egypt and Constantinople. So long as the large majority of travelers from the East, and between "Turkey and Russia, came by sea, it was possible to place them under effectual supervision ; but it ap pears to be impracticable to control the tide of railway travel. In Odessa, for instance, about thirty persons disembark daily from vessels and are placed in quarantine, while four hundred travelers arriving by rail enter the town without restriction, "it "is tin; same in i ill kev. there is a ricnd nu.-irmit inr ks- tablished lor all who come by the Danube, by the Bosphorus, and by the ports of the Caucacus; but travelers leaving Kussia by railway can go through to Constantinople by way of Vienna and Barrach, without in terference from the authorities. M. Papil lion believes that it is on the Russian side that the dangers are now most to be dreaded. It is thought that the cholera was carried to Dresden from Pesth, the two cities being in direct railway communication with each other. X. Y. Sun. Dwellings and Store for Rent.

The Philadelphia Press, in a glorification over the great triumph ol President Grant, recalls-all the elections of the past to prove it to have been the most complete popular endorsement ever received bv any Presi- ueni. .as the tollowmg historical tacts are interesting, we copy them from its article: To appreciate the fullness of the triumph, let us indulge for a moment in a brief retro spect of the Presidential struggles and electoral votes of the past. In the first elec tion, at which only ten of the States voted, t lie choice of electors in all save one (Vir ginia) was made by the Legislatures. Of the sixty-nine electoral votes, George Wash- . iugton rect,jvtHi eVerV one. In th K.lmion for iiesident, in 1792, Wa the second shington again received all the electoral votes, 130. In the third, at which he declined to be a candidate, John Adams was elected after a hard struggle, receiving 71 out of the 138 votes. In the fourth election, with every State voting for electors after its own fash ion, the Electoral College was divided into 77 votes for Thomas Jefferson and 77 for Aaron Burr, and the election devolved upon the House of Representatives. The end of that memorable struirtxle was the choice of Thomas Jefferson for President, and a con stitutional amendment preventing the recur rence of such a tateof affairs in the future. In the fifth election, Thomas Jefferson was again successful, receiving 164 out of 178 electoral votes. In the sixth election, James 3Iadisou received 122 out of 176 votes. In the seventh, he had 128 to 8D for De Witt. Clinton. James Monroe, his suc cessor, had at first election 183 to 34 for Rufus King, and at his second, 228 to 1 for John Quincy Adams, almost a unanimous vote. In 1824, Andrew Jackson received 99 votes, John Quincy Adams 84, W. II. Crawford 41, and Henry Clay 87. The election devolved upon the House of Repre sentatives, and Ailani9 was chosen by the vote of Kentucky, cast by 3Ir Clay. Since that time the vote has stood as follows: Electoral Year. Candidate.

The JXetc 3Itthod of Extracting Gold from Sidjdiunt Ot'(SA)i Important Discovery. We lay before our readers an article ex tracted from the Fredericksburg News, giving some account of Professor Crosby's new method of extracting gold fromsulphu ret ores. We learn from a gentleman who was present at the recent public test on the Old Dominion Mine in Virginia, that the re sults obtained from the mass then treated were 97 per cent of the mint value of the ore. 2Vie strictest assays were made by experts, and Jfrofcssor Crosby only guarantees to save 80 per cent. To the astonishment of all present t the amount above stated was actual ly produced. When it is remembered that tbe average of all the gold saved in the country does not exceed twenty per cent, and that even with this small average our production is $73,000,000 per annum, some idea can be formed of the importance of a discovery which can utilize all the refuse sulphurets, aud enable the owners of abandoned or un profitable mines to realize large returns from their investments, as the cost of reduction by Crosby's process is less than three dollars per ton in Virginia, and cannot exceed tour dollars in the Western mining districts. The Fredericksburg News says : "Some months ago we stated that a party of Northern capitalists had purchased lage tracts of land in Spotsylvania county, Va., with the intention of erecting machinery for the reduction of gold ores by a newly Iiatented process, owned principally by Jhiladelphiaus. Their machinery has been put into successful operation on the proper ty of the Old Dominion Company, about twenty-four miles from this town; and from personal examination we congratulate the company on their bringing to completion a work of no ordinary magnitude. The property referred to has been work ed by various parties for over twenty years without profit not that the gold did not exist in iarge quantities, but because the ore was of such a character as to defy all the known methods of treatment." Millions of dollars have been spent in different parts of the country in efforts to extract gold from sulphuret ores, which abound in most gold-bearing districts, and millions of tons of rejected ores are to-day lying useless at the mines of Virginia, North Carolina, Col orado, and elsewhere. Professor Crosby of Maine, has, after years of labor i;i Colorado, and the expen diture of a large sume of money, brought to perfection a system for the reduction of all kinds of rjld ore at such a small cost as to enable the producers of low-priced ores to work abandoned mines profitably. His machinery is automatic, and his process so peifect that be guarantees a saving of eighty per cent of the mint assay of any desc:iption of goid ores, and the entire ex pense of reduction in Virginia does not ex ceed three dollars per ton, as we arc inform ed, and are satisfied by personal investiga tion by those who have examined Crosby's process. The Old Dominion Company has pur chased from the owners of Crosby's patent the right for the State of Virginia, and hav ing secured over two thousand acres of gold-bearing land, intend to enlarge their mill, which has now a capacity of twenty tons per day. They will also deepen their present shafts, and open others, with a view of developing fully the rich veius on their property. What effect Crosby's discovery will pro duce on the gold mining interests generally is diiiicult to tell ; but it must be evident that hundreds of mines now abandoned, and many which are being worked to little or no profit, can be brought to yield large revenues; and we look for a stimulus to be imparted to this business equal in inten sity to the excitement produced by thegold discoveries in California, but more certain and profitable in its results. We have seen the result of Mr Crosby's method of working (or of treating "intelli gently") a small lot of ore fro.n the cele brated Kinf& 3lountain 3linc, in Xorth Carolina, irhich is similar to the ore of this Old Dominion 3line. lie showed us one saucer, the results of the eld methods, which yielded about ten per cent. The second and third saucers contained each by his method, larger and larger deposits of gold, aud a fourth vessel, in which the process was incomplete, was supposed to contain as much more. If re teas palpable and, perfect proof that 3fr C.'s method was superior to the old at least by six or eight to one. Mr C, who was in company with us, spoke of the philosophy of his process to the visitors, among whom were distinguished scientific men and experienced practical miners. One said, ''Anvbodv can work the mill." Another said, "The unskilled labor er can manage it." Another t-aid, "The quicksilver, amalgam, gold, etc., are all se cure from theft." Another very cautious gentleman said, "I think Mr Crosby has the process of getting out all the gold." Plat Trees. Trees planted between the 10th aud 25th of November arc said to thrive best.

Too Many Beaux. If by the term "prospects," as applied to a young lady, you mean the probabilities of her getting a husband, then she whose admirers may be called legion ha9 infinitely poorer prospects than one whose friends of the opposite sex may be counted on the fin gers of a single hand. Now, it is true that everybody patronize the mode and fashion that everybody else supports, for it is the easiest and most natu ral tiling in the world to "follow the crowd. But this is not to say that a young man wants for a wife the girl who counts her beaux by the score and her conquests by the dozen. It is true that every chicken in a brood will leave a good dinner, and .all go in par suit of the same object, if they see ouo of their number running away with a large sized crumb, or alter an imaginary worm. But it is not true that a young man will forsake the modest, gentle girl, whose society he can enjoy without rivalry, to compete with a score of others for the com pany of a young lady whose smiles are free to all. There is, indeed, a class of men who pay assiduous court to the latter. She general ly possesses many attractions this pet of society. She has a fine instrument, and plays tolerably. Possibly she sings. In variably she dances. She is always sur rounded by the gayest of the gay ; and in consequence of all these advantages, wheth er she be pretty or plain, her drawing-room is a very agreeable place in which to spend an evening; or, as young gentlemen are wont to say, "It is extremely pleasant to submit one's self occasionally to be hand somely cntertainrd ; but I would not, upon any account, have it supposed that I am looking in that direction for a wife by no means !" Thus these gallants are wont to speak. And, as a rule, they are not marrying men. But when one of them would take to him self a wife, he goes east, or west, or north, or south anywhere to find a girl unspoiled by society one who has not in his presence played the agreeable to a score of others, and whom he strongly suspects any one of them could have had for the asking. The worst thing for a girl unless fhe wants to live and die an old maid is to have too many beaux. She may be pretty, stylish, accomplished, graceful anything you please, it matters little. The very fact that she has been the recipient of attention from more men than she would need to know in the course of a lifetime, places her on the level with a worn-out boot desira ble only to those who cannot get better. Advice to Persons Matrimonially Inclined. My advice is to marry as quickly as pos sible, for none but those who are, unhap pily, versed in such matters can be aware of the manifold minor, to say nothing of major, evils which a long engagement en tails. The position of an affianced pair after a time becomes almost ridiculous. Prema ture congratulations are poured forth by some over-enthusiastic friends, while others cease to believe in the reality of an ultimate settlement, and becomes suspicious of tho sincerity of your professions, and almost personally affronted at your delay. Then the difficulty of sustaining, with appropriate effect, the character of an engaged man is something enormous. I say nothing of the difficulty which a lady in that delicate position has to en counter, for we all know that they experi ence but little difficulty in making them selves perpetually agreeable at least be fore marriage ; but with regard to a man, think of the amiable and excusable decep tions he is forced to be guilty of the real distaste, but professed pleasures, with which he accompanies the "beloved object" to the festive board of some oppressive family friend where, for two hours at least, he has to sit, the observed of all observers, uext to the i lol to whom he has been paying unceas ing devotion for the greater portion of tho day, and to whom now he has to make him self comfortable having exhausted every scrap of news, every conceivable subject of conversation ! He is afraid to venture upon any tender aside, for fear he t-hould be thought silly ; or to keep much to gener alities, for fear he should be considered slow. I have, indeed, remarked engaged couples who have been content to sit in blissful si lence, wrapped in contemplation of their ap proaching happiness; but such a state of quiescence is rarely observable, and can scarcely be preserved for an indefinite period. One of my earliest recollections of such a couple is when they are sitting in this stale of tranquil calm, and forming a very limit ed hand-in-haud mutual insurance company of their own ; but their example is scarcely to bo quoted, as the partnership was short ly after dissolved forever, and the lady and gentleman are at present thousands of miles apart, and each belonging to another firm. It is impossible for a man of business not to sympathize with an eminent physician, who informed his future wife that he had no time for courtship; but that if she i woubi marrv mm. amine reaavon a cer tain day, he would be happy to meet her at tin church and make her his bride. j Executor's Notice.
