The statement which was telegraphed south, to the effect that the bill set tling the boundary of Texas, had passed the Ho. of Representatives, was all a flash in the pan. It is now reported that the free soilers will attempt to insert the anti-slavery proviso in the Utah and New Mexico territorial bills, and that if it 19 done," there will be some warm times. WE LOVE FUN, and therefore we make an extract from the Raleigh Register of last Satur day. It will be recollected that the democratic editors gave the youthful hero of the Register a rasping for some of his indiscreet abuse of the Governor elect. It appears, however, that the hero aforesaid lost the benefit of it; for as soon as he found that his efforts to re-elect Gov. Manly had failed, he snatched his hat and umbrella and left the State in disgust, and we do not know that he has been heard of since. But he left a "locum tenens," (which means a smarter man) who in last Saturday's Register, takes some no ice of the aforesaid rasping, and apologizes for the indiscretion of the editor in the following well put queries: Something, we think, might be pardoned to that same youth and inexperience. Some extenuation also might be suggested by generous minds, in the tact that the Register, and others, were just then most authentically licked in an election, when they had expected success. When smart ing under the rod, might lie not bellow a little, and be forgiven? Might not the ' young man," even be a little saucy, and kick the shins of the master, since that was all he could do, while receiving the lash? Is it not natural? Shall a bear with a sore head be forbidden to grow I? Shall a torn cat with his tail caught in a door, not sputter and squawl? Will not a ram tied to a gatepost, do some butting? And shall not an "inexperienced young man'' when unexpectedly beaten all over, be allowed to cock up his nose at the man who has done it? Must he not say, and by '"such a man?" We are not going to fight the battles of the editor in his absence. He might, if he chose, bite his adversaries, and get pi zened for his pains. We shall do no fight ing nor biting. We only advise each whig who did not do his duty at the election, (and there were several thousands to shut himself up in his closet and bile himself. We are pleased to learn that the demo cratic candidates in Cumberland, being without opposition, forbore saying any thing during the late campaign, relative to the Gubernatorial canvass. Rul. Iiegi?ler. The Register has been slightly misinformed in regard to that matter; and we think it due to the candidates in Cumberland, as well as to Mr Reid, to set it right: It is true that the candi dates said nothing against Gov. Manly, inas much as there was no whig on the stump to de fend him; but they did put in a good word on all occasions for Mr Reid. This was a magnanim ous course, and we mention it more particularly in justice to Mr Dobbin, because should Mr Reid see the above paragraph uncorrected, he would have room to attribute motives to Mr Dobbin that could not exist in the mind of a man of Mr D's generous and sincere character. "Mr Reid has no more chance of being elected Governor of North Carolina, than a shad has of climbing a greased sappling with a loaf of bread under each arm and a fifty-six pound weight fastened to its tail!" The above paragraph is an extract from the North Carolina Argus, printed a week or two before the election. It will pass for right good wit, but it is very poor prophecy. CHOLERA. Mr Macrae, in the hos pital at How rah, has, according to the In diana News, discovered a new and most successful mode of treating cholera pa tients. He causes them to inhale a certain quantity of oxygen gas, which contributes a strong stimulating effect, and finally throws tiie patient into a refreshing sleep. On awaking, he finds himself restored to health, with the exception of a general weakness, which always succeeds any phy sical prostration. Dr. Macrae had tested his mode of practice upon fifteen European seamen, who had been carried to the How rah hospital in the last stage of the disease, and the patient had in every instance re covered. A Curiosity. The Washington (Ga.) Gazette says: "We were shown,. in this place, a few days since, a Kitten with two perfect heads except the ears, of which there were but two.

The fallowing excellent and interesting letter was kindly loaned to us by a friend, to whom it was written: It will be found to contains great deal of valuable information respecting the pre sent state of affairs in California being the im pressions and observations of a practical and observing gentleman. San Francisco, June 30, 1850. I landed here on the 6th instant, after a trip of twenty days from Panama ; and with so short a residence here I am not prepared to judge of matters and things as 1 find them, iu reference to the future; and the niost I would dare do, were I to fill a volume, would be to state facts, and leave you to draw your own conclusions. There is no mistaking one thing, which is apparent to all new comers, and that this is a most wonderful city, and country, and people By the journals you will have learned that the fires of 4th May and 14th June have done a vast amount of damage. I was turned out of my lodgings on the 14th, and lost some of my clothes, etc., and was somewhat scorched in an attempt j to save them ; but I must confess I never before saw a fire to compare with this, and the rapidity with which such a fire sweeps over a city, is really incredible. In the Idng dry season, when every thing is par ched, and with a city built entirely of wood, you may suppose, that with the strong winds which pravail here, it must make quick work. But, if people are turned out here, they will not stay turned out ; and I cannot picture to you the energy with which they drive up new improvements. Just one week after the fire, I counted eighty one new tenements up and going up, of which number some ten or twelve were open and doing business, and I presume a still larger number have been commenc ed since. When I landed, looked about at the im mense crowds and the bustle of business, and learned the enormous rates of rents anil every thing else. 1 could not but re flect tlfratwo years ago, this city of from forty to fifty thousand people, with her five to six hundred ships, and forty to fifty steamers, and her five daily newspa pers, and seven churches, and her various banks and other public buildings, was but a California or Mexican Ranche. It seem ed to me like a stupendous humbug; like an immense bubble, just ready t burst. But time effects great changes, and I find ('though it is hard to feel it to be so) that the basis on which all this rests is, perhaps, sufficient to warrant its continuance. It will not do to credit all the stories told in the United States about California, for there are certainly two sides to the pic ture, and I am inclined to think the dark est is kept out of sight, to a great degree, at home , but here it must be seen. I make no question but the mineral wealth of California is great is immense and, perhaps, exhaustless; but the labor, health, and life that must be necessarily expended in bringing it out of the bowels of the earth, are not, in my opinion, properly estimated in the States. People are dazzled by the large arrival of gold going home, but they do not consider the vast number ot people who are wasting away the robust con stitutions, and vigorous health with which they left comfortable homes and families, to delve into the earth for yellow gold. It is true that very many are fortunate, and find a rich and speedy return for their toil, and I think most who can retain good health, might do well, but for the fact that a large portion of those who come here, come with such vague ideas as to the size and ferocity of the " Elephant" they all come to see. that they directly get dis appointed and disgusted unless they hit upon some lucky spot, and fill their leather pouches with the yellow dust at once. I would say, in all sincerity to all who can get a good living at home, stay there- where you can get some, if not all, the comforts of life. But you may talk ever so much to people, of the hardships of the un dertaking, and of the uncertainty of the result, audit will do no good, for they think they read their title clear' if not "to mansions in the skies," at any rate, to a rich drawn prize, and to mansions built out of the returns. Oh, how sadly disappointed have I seen many who came here with high hopes! but I cannot go into details, for 1 am making too long a story of what I fear will fail to interest. You may not be aware that, though I usually say little, I am inclined to believe I think as much as most men, and try to make myselt acquainted with causes and results ot what meets my eye and ear. I have gathered some information here, re lative to the country and thstate ot thing3 in the interior, from reliable sources, and I am confirmed in the opinion 1 entertained before coming here, relative to the facility of making money here, in mining or anj other occupation, but lam happily dis appointed in relation to some matters con nected with the country and its resources, aside from minerals. I lately met with a man with whom 1 have been long acquaint ed, and in whose judgment and opinion, touching any matter connected with a new country, I repose great confidence. He had just returned from a tourto the head waters of the Sacramento, seventy or eigh ty miles beyond where the gold diggers have penetrated and previously he had traveled over , the country south to, and hnvnncl Monterev. and he cives it me as 1 his settled opinion, that setting aside all the mineral wealth of California, that it is true, a large portion of the country is bar ren mountains and hills, and entirely unfit for cultivation, but the immenSe vales on the water courses, from ten to forty and fifty miles wide, for richness, beauty, and fertility, he remarks, have o equal in the States. In the valley of the Sacramento, high up toward the mountains, he remarks, you may find 10,000 acres at a time, so level that you may see a deer or sheep on any part of it, and so situated that a small amount of labor would turn the mountain streams over it, and irrigate the whole. At this season, these vast tracts are cover ed with oats ami clover, and other excel lent grasses, up to a man's shoulders, and on which a million head of cattle might fatten. He states to me, that in their excursions among the Indians near the mountains, they found many places where the yield of gold must, they think, be richer than any diggings yet worked. But little has been done as yet in the mines, from the fact that the waters are too high. It has been supposed that ihe min ing commenced as soon as the wet season was over, but it is not the case. The snows on the mountains are now twenty to forty feet deep, and until they melt away, and cease to supply the streams with water, the river bars cannot be worked. Great quantities of the ground which has been worked over, will, eiv long, yield a second crop, more abundant than the first, as it will be worked scientifically, by which quantities of gold will be obtained which has been passed over- I judge that three fourths of those who go to the mines, find the labor vastly harder than anticipated, and great numbers find it so hard that they quit it, and go at almost anything else in preference. I will give you some few items relative to the city, which may interest you. I had been led to suppose, before I came here, that there must, ere long, be a tre mendous revulsion in the real estate mar ket, and I am not prepared to 9ay that it may not be so, but I find that transactions in landed property are much more tor cash than 1 supposed. Indeed, almost every thing is for cash ; and, unlike the States, it is not enough for a man to pay when he gets an article, but he must present the dust in one fist, while he takes his deed or receipted bill for merchandise, in the other. I know of a great number of land transac tions since I came here, aud I find them almost entirely for cash. It is true town lots in the outskirts, or away out of the settled part ot the city, or barren sand-hills, tvhich make pretty pictures, on paper, have decline in price, but on the other hand, lots in the business part of the city, anil especially in the Bay, from those out to where the water is fourteen! feet deep, have greatly advanced in price, for it is now generally conceded that the largest portion of the business will be done in the Bay ; and the improvements in wharves, aud buildings on this property are truly suprising. Lots wheh were sold by the city in January, have been re-sold since at five to twenty times the amount of first sale. A friend of mine who bought some of them, sold one last week at $1800, which cost him S400, and can get $3000 for another which cost Sr00, and was yes terday offered S6000 casn for one which cost 1450. These lots are all 37h by 45 feet 10$ inches. Several wharves are built out by the city, and by private com panies, and fronting on these, lots sell at enormous rates. One, some 500 yards from the land, &old since I came here (30 by GO feet) at (810,000. One last week, 3Sby 70 feet, sold for -S 12,000, and others are held still higher. Large warehouses are built on these, on strong piles, well driven. By the way, these pile-drivers are doing a grand business with their steam power, at from $10 to 825 each, for driv ing them. Carpenters are now getting from 28 to 16 per day. Good masons and carpenters get readily S12 to gl6 per day. You have heard of the high rents asked here, and there is no mistake about the find none in business here, who are not of the ga-ahead sort You might suppose that investments in property,would only be made here by a set of desperate men, who were disposed, like a losing gambler, to make a throw of the card, knowing it, and feeling it to be for salvation or ruin but it is not so. Men are coining here daily, of mature age and experience, and with immense amounts of actual specie for Investment Men, and old. rich houses from Mexico, Chili, Unit ed Slates, and other countries, not desper ate adventurers, but men whose long e perience will enable then to judge better iu such matters, than the young, anil men who can calculate cooly, and deliberate cautiously. Since the last fire, people seem to bd afraid to dabble much in wooden building; except so far as compelled, and some men who are able, are putting up large fire proof brick and iron buildings and one firm who own near two entire squares burned over, refuse to sell or lease it, ex cept with the condition that brick building shall be erected on it. 1 can count while I write, thirteen 3 to 5 story buildings in progress since the fire of May. 1 could tell you little of the markets but what you know. There is little stability in any kind of merchandise. Lumber is down, and is still going down, though some kinds rallied somewhat since the fire. Cargo after cargo comes in here, anil as it will not sell for enough to pay freight, the consignees will not receive it, and the vessel puts it up at once, and iii this way it has sold at SI0 per M,, though it generally brings from S25 to SG0 per M. Dressed lumber often sells for less than it otiginal cost in the States. . Where this is to end I know not, for it will depend on the amount to come. 1 would like to have you see the beef and mutton, and vension in the markets here I never saw finer beef in New Orleans, and it is driven in from the immense grazing fields, which can have no equal ; and without any stall or home feeding, it will compare with the best in the States. At the numerous hotels, you can get boaril and lodging at S16 to 860 per week, in ad vance. At the hundred restaurants, you pay for what you eat by the plate. Beef stake, 4s. to 6s.; mutton chop, 4s; roast beef. 5s ; veal, 6s.; fish, 4s.; ham 6s. j to 8.; egs, 2s ; each cup coffee, 2s. do. tea, 2s.; one biscuit Is.; one-quarter of that 1 dried apple or peach pie, 2s.; one-quarter custard pie, 4s.; one potatoe, 2.; onion, as to 4s. ; milk per glass, 4. ; slice bread, 2s ; liquor per glass, 2s.; cigar Is. It is summer here, but still we must wear our overcoats, and well buttoned up too, in the evening, and must have two to four blankets at night. I am convinced this climate is healthy, notwithstanding. Of course we have no tnusquitoes here, but some fleas ;reat bi" Mexican ones. - . . . r ii enormous rates paid.

We have some plain and sober words for i all those sustaining the relation of father, ! mother, or guardian, to this unfortunate I class of our fellow beings. In the first place, do you know that the munificence of the State has provided in the city of Raleigh, an Institution ex pressly for the Deaf and Dumb? that suitable instructors, ami all necessary ac commodations are at your service, without cost for their education and maintenance? If you know this, then there is some oth er reason than the lack of knowledge, for withholding from these members of your families, the advantages you so freely grant to others. , What can such reason be? We wish you Lto answer the question. They cannot ask you for education, tor they are ignorant ot its blessings Moreover you don't wait fur your other children to ask, but put them in the way of learning, because you know its advantages. Think in the same manner of your deaf and dumb children, and act accordingly. Gratefully place pose ; but for any to seriously business, the high rents within reach of the benefits so nobly alarm any new are enouru comer. 1 have seen stores roughly en closed, and not fitted up at all inside say 12 by 55 to 15 by 40, rent over, and often, at S350 to 500" per month. I saw, last week, a store ll by 50, rent for $500 per month ; one, 15 by 40, S600 ; one, 14 by 50, 8600 ; one, 12 by 30, for gambling, at $1000per month, and to secure it, the party paid two month s rent in auvanc e. and secured it for the third month. The rates paid for ground rent, would seem incredible. On the business streets, lots 60 feet deep, are leased to build on, at about S25 per front foot per month, and some at S30. In all cases, rents, both ot buildings and lots, are paid in advance. A man was pointed out to me last week, (a Chilian,) who came here a few weeks a o, and bought three lots, for which he paid S6 1,000 cash, and within a week, he leased them out, without a particle ot im provement on them, for 44,000. Now, I am well aware, one would readily con clude that a man must break to pay such rents, but it is neverthless true, that men do pay them, and make . money, too, very rapidly. , I find there are comparatively few men, who can, when they get here, screw up courage, if they can screw .up the fund, to enter on any business involving such an enormous expense, and consequently you tendered by the State. Denf Mule. Fatal Accident. Col. Montesquie W. Campbell, who is partially blind, while walking through the upper story of Mr Lippitt's Drug Store, on Thursday fore noon, fell through the opening in the mid dle of (he floor, to the next story, about 15 feet, which produced a violent concussion of the brain, which deprived him of mo tion for some time. He was restored to consciousness by proper treatment, but died on Friday afternoon. Wilmington Commercial. Exposuke to the Sun. There are few points which seem less generally under stood, or more clearly proved, than the fact that exposure to the sun, without exercise sufficient to create free perspiration, will produce illness; and that the same expo sure to the sun, with sufficient exercise, will not produce illness. Let anv man sleep in the sun, he will wake perspiring and very ill; perhaps he will die. Let the same man dig in. the sun for the same length of time, and he will perspire ten - times as much, and be quite well. The fact is, not only the direct rays of the sun, but the heat of the atmosphere produce abund- ; ance of bile, and powerful exercise alone will carry off that bile. ,
