E. lIcry,24, 18 TO 15 tda THE CHOLERA. ; ; Latest- Intelligence -Highly important. Our Dews this morning is more alarm- mg man aay previous accounts. - It noiv appears beyond 411 question, that the dis ease respects neither high nor low, rich nor poor. Judge TASCHEREAU of Quebec is among the victims. Our pa pers are from Montreal ol the date of daturdajr 16th; containing information up to the evening of the 15th, but we have been favored with the follow in cr letter of ounuay the 17th, at tfalPpast 12 o'clock. its contents are of the deepest interest.1 J - Montreal, 17th June. 1832.! . Half past 12 o'clock, P. M. Messrs. C. Mills fa Co. , Arew York; Gentlemen- We have merely time to say, that .t he Cholera has raged more for the lifst 24 hours, than at any ureVioiis period. Great numbers who were walk ing our streets yesterday morning are now in etei nity. '1 he city is all commotion. Ol the victims of the disease, we notice Mr. . SWEENY, Potash Inspector; Mr. RUTHERFORD, the Publir.Contrac ter; Mr SCOTT, of the Custom House; and a great many oificrs of our acquain tance we could add, if time served. We see scarcely nothing but cart3 with the dead. Tliejdisease now proves fatal iu one or iwo hours. We have just learned that B. - Thatcher, the livery stable kee per, died at St John's on his way out. in great haste, your truly, i g. &. J.r E. MILLS. Another letter irora Montreal, dated June 16, states that Clerks in a respec table mercantile huuse went to bed well on the evening of the ioth, and were ail -dead next morning. And. that on the morning the letter was: written, there were twelve emigrants found in a small compass in the street, six of whom were dead, and the rest not likely to recover. Tho writer adds, although. the deaths up to ' yesterday r 2 o'clock, were reported only at 240, they now exceed 4001 5 o'clock, P. iM. loth Speaking of the description ol persons attacked the Mon treal Gazeite says: Another fact can not fail to strike every oiie with surprise, is that but a tcry small proportion of the cases are among iieply arrived emigrants or those conucctod with litem or with shipping, tut the disease seeais to have fallen with the greatest severity, on the natives of or those who have been long residents in the country. From the Boston Morning Post, Thurs day morning.-' . ', The following letter h;is been received by a gentleman in this city (Boston) last evening.- "Concord, N. "H. June 19th. My dear sir Ttie'cholera has arrived at Montpelier, Vt. one case occurred yesterday an Irish emigrant. rhe people are in great alarm. ; Your's, in haste. ' The Cholera. Highly important. - Dr. M'Lean, who is well known to our fellow-citizens, called upon us yesterday with a pajmphlet, the contents of which he was greatly desirous of placing before the , public as soon as possible, and which in consequence, he took to the Evening Post to be published last eve ning but it probably was received too iatt for insertion. ' It appears by tho re port of a committee of eminent Physi cians sent from Edinburgh to Sunder land, to investigate lbe4character : of the 'Cholera-, and also by, the discoveries of ihe justly celebrated Dr ABERCROM BLE, that the Cholera is entirely within the control of medicine -and easily cured, if Us promitory symptoms are observed. They say. that no case' of Cholera has ever occurred so far as they have been able to ascertain Which has not been pre ceded by buzzing in the ears and a loos tiess of the bowels, and that a powerful cathartic taken at this stage of the dis ease is a certain and infallible cujTk. Tf these symptoms are not attended to, and the remedy applied, then, and then only, docs the disease beccme in a mea sure incurable. . ; If this be so, ami we are disposed to believe it, then will this Scourge of the human race pass by us without its track being marked by dessclation and death.. "' A. Y. Courier. The following is the opinion of Dr.' De Kay who was attacked with the Cholera at Constantinople, and sub sequently had charge of many pa tients. I 1.. The cause of the disease I believe to be unknown, but it is usually attribu ted to some peculiar state of the atmos phere. During my residence at Con stantinople, comprising a period of six months, I kept a register of the weather, and could not discern that either the temperature, or gravity of the air, or, a- ny particular winds, nad any agency in producing or extending that disease. I 2. The predisposing, causes were er- rors or excess in diet; exposure to night air; irregularities in regimen, fear, anxie ty. &x, . 3. The essence of the disease appears to consist in an accumulation of blood in the veins and about the heart. 4. The disease rarely occurred in " any twp places under the same lorm; nor, as I was informed Ly the oriental physicians, !:d it always appear under the same' form for two consecutive season' at the same place. The chief characters of the dis ease were, however, constant, and the same medical means 'were employed. At Smyrna, the most ' st iking symptom was a discoloring of the hands, which at Constantinople 1 had never witnessed? 5. The mortality was greatest in low damp situations and in the vicinity of fresh water streams. At Smvroa. wliich is built upon a maWhy spot the mortality Has very great; while at Constantinople ! the disease appeared in a milder form. " ' ; 6. Cholera "is . uot contagious. My! own experience is .confirmed by lhat.vof every oriental physician with whom I con sulted. It rarely attacked more than oue in aramily.The Turkish government.atthe suggestion of the medical faculty refused iu C51NUII5H ijuuruuiiues against this dis ease, but took other steps .which might be worthy of imitation elsewhere ,a pamphlet tvaspublished by. order of the government, giving a history of this dis ease, the means of guarding arainst it. were gratuitously distributed in every town and villnee tbrbu'trhout the pmm'rp c,. O ( - . The greatest mortality occurred a- mong those whose mode of living was particularly meagre and abstemious, Cholera made its first appearance among the Jews of Smyrna, during one of their lasts, and committed great -ravages. If is far from being my: wish to recommend intemperance, but I' do not hesitate to state, that the occasional use of stimuli. m ine shape ol generous wine, brandy, or gin and water, was found highly servicea- ft I . 4 uie during the prevalence .of tha Cholera at Constantinople.- I need hardly re mark that the 'habitually intemperate los all the benefit of this remedy. 8. Every thing in this disease depends upon rromptest m nal aid. Whenthi was resorted to at :n early sta'e, Cho lera became a mild and easy manageable disease. . ,?fce Central Rail Uoa'd We'are grat ified in being able to. announce to our mountain friends, that there is a prospect of considerable subscriptions in the low land counties. About filteen thousand dollars were subscribed in Newborn in two days, and the town and county may be put down for thirty thousand. ; - On Monday last, hooks were opened in Jones county; and although there were compar atively! but few in. attendance, (it fccing the first day of the Court) fourteen thou sand dollars were subscribed and we have heard the opinion expressed by a respectable gentleman of that county, that Jones will not contribute less than thirty thousand dollars. Considering that Jones is one oft he smallest counties in the State, the subscription thus far. is extremely creditable tothe public spirit of its citizens. From Lenoir, we have no' certain information; it is understood hownvrr, that the subscription there will be lange. We are assured that Onsloy, Greene,-Wayne and Johston, will act no bly in this great entcrprize; and we shall be disappointed if good 'old Carteret does not furnish her full quota, during the en suing Court week. With proper exer- Itions the work can and vili be accom plished. But it is important that the public mind should be elightened on the subject. Publications "showing its prac ticability and advantages, and explaining the process of execution, in famiiiar lan guage, should be gratuitously and wide ly diffused among the people. Let our citizens be 'made sensible of the immense benefits Vvhich must accrue to the State from the Central Rail Road, and the whole stock would be subscribed for im mediately. The farmers of tha Eastern portion of the State, are deeply interes ted, and if they are true to themselves, they will ensure success to the underta king." J"etabern Sentinel.- Gold Mining. We notice several ar ticles going'the rounds of the papers, which have taken their origin from a par agraph inthe Greenville Mountaineer, which we noticed at the time of its first appearance, and cut out for remark; but on looking for it a day or two after it ap peared to hare been mislaid, and we could not lay our hands on it, until we found it copied into the columns of dis tant papers, and circulated as evidence against the profitableness of the mines in this region. It has been our fortune to be situated in what is denominated, tho Gold Region of North Carolina" and from the facts which have fallen under our observation we hesitate not to siy, that no business within our knowledge, in which tho same skill and capital is em- , ployedi reaps ny thing like, the profit uuitiiiucuuiu uiniiug uiumess. auords. It is true, that, like all other kinds of bu siness, sjeculat ions. have been made in the sales and transfers of mines, and. in some cases, tneji have worked where the products wo n I "not compensate them for their labor j tut a general rule, the labor er has received a rich reward, and thoso who haVe once engaged in it have and si ill are pursuing it , and all who are able, are purchasing arid leasing mine3, which is the surest rn!ay which to judge of the profits which arise from the business. It is impossible to state the Immense a mount of the preciods .metal, which has been collected, or the number of persons engaged in the busines; but the fact is. at no time have so large a nomber of hands been employed,, or has the cUjracteTbt the mines stood higher thaq now, br those conversant witn the business. Wa know not how extensive the travels of our neighbor may have been in this re gion; or hor close his observations; but truly, we cannot but think that he has viewed the mines in somewhat the samd spirit that therfox did the" grupes. llutherfordtvn Spectator.

There is something) in sickness Jhat breaks down the pride of manhood; that softens the heart, and brings it back to the feelings of infancy. Who that has languished even in advanced life, in sickness and despon dency; who that hai pined on a weary bed, in the neglect and loneliness of a foreign land, but that has thought oil the mother "that looked on his childhood,'" that smoothed his pillow. Ol there is an endearing tenderness in the love pf a mother to a son that transcends all other affections j of the heart. -It , is neither chilled by selfishness, nor daunted by dan ger nor weakened by worthlessness, nor stilled by ingratitude She will sacrifice every comfort to his convenience; she will surrender every pleasure to bis en- joyment; sbe will glory in his fame, and exult in his prosperity; and if misfortunes overtake him, be will be dea'er to her; and ifdisgrace settle upon bis name, she will still love and cherish him in spite of his disgrace, and if all the wcrld besidtf cast him on, she .w;l be all the world t him. 1
