  ■ of deaths in town since
Friday morning hare been as follows:—
Friday,6; Saturday, 8; Sunday, 7; Mon-
day, (to-day,) 2. We hear of comparatively
few eases since Friday, and we are inclined
the bulk of the epidemic is past.
]g^ We regret to learn that the house of
Mr. Hibbe, of Hodge's Bend, was destroyed
by fire, together with all the furniture, one
day last week. Supposed to be the inden-
diary work of a negro girl belonging to Mr.
Nibbe. _  
j|0* Our accounts from Cypress City are
very painful. This is a small station on
the Central road, twenty-five miles from
this city. It contains a population of sixty
or seventy persons only. Last Friday, let-
ters were received by the Howard Associa
tion of this city, praying help, and stating
that, out of fifty-four persons, then in the
38 including the doctor, were sick
with yellow fever. On Saturday and Sun-
day, several persons went up to afforJ as-
sistance. We learn that, since Friday,
there have been 3 deaths. The condition
of the place is truly deplorable.
g^ We some time ago gave some Ma-
statistics for the Unite! States. We
collate the following in addition:
The whole number of Grand Lodges now
in the United States is 37. The increases in
last yeai was 1. The whole number of
Lodges is 4673. The increase of lodges
last year was 836. The whole number of
members is 196,487. The additions to
membership for a year have been 26,694.

That is about as mnch as we can believe,

' J9 The advertisement of 3. A. Wheat
£ Co., clothing warehouse, appears in our
columns. They have got one of the finest
stocks in town, and with a stock of Well-
selected goods, are' prepared to do a whole-
sale businees in their line unsurpassed by
any in the State. They only opened last
Monday, and we were assured that their
seise last week amounted to ten thousand
dollars. Our old friends, Cabeen & Jar-
mon will be found there ready to wait on
customers, and1 sell them all they want,
from a single suit to a good stock for a
retail store. 6o and see them.
ML. Our telegraphic advices inform us
of the duel between Judge David S. Terry
and Senator Broderiek, at 8anta Clara, Call-
. fornia. We are, as yet unaware of the
cause of the difficulty. Our last mail
heeoght the news that Judge Terry was the
challenging party. He was shot in the
throat, and was not expected to live. Judge
Terry was formerly a citixea of this place,
and has many warm friends here, to whom,
a* well ae his relatives, we offer our sympa-
thies. He was a man of strict integrity
and high esses of hsssr. In California he
has occupied the higheet judicial position
la the Satte, a fact which speaks volumee
for his popularity sad talents.

appeared ia that neighborhood. Cotton is
being bought in Seguia for the Mexican

Mercury pitches into Harper's Magazine
with more zeal thaa discrimination. The
very arguments of the magazine quoted by
the Mercury as ohjsetinabte are among
the rtiongsst outside the bible that can be
SMde ia favor of slavery. We re-quote the
^Bowing:—
We have more than once drawn attention

new rthwtration of the great truth, that two
oppositely constituted racee cannot live in
harmony on equal term ia the eame land.
Paaoo is feasible where one race is domi-
nant and the ether eobservient But if the
dividing line be offseed, and a social and
political equality established, peaoe is im-
possible until one or the other race is
entirely cruehed.
If all the North would believe and prac-
tice that, we should have no more trouble
with this slavery queetion.
The Genzalee Inquirer says, that 2,10Q

The Civilian, of Tuesday, says there are
doubtless, ooaae eeeee of yellow ferer in
Qalveeton, but how many, it found it im-
peesiblc to report.
The Civilian seports the arrival of the
Baskn TlW. House, of Boston; Lamplighter,
How Tork ; F. H. Fanning, N. Y.; Medora,
Beaton, Fanny Hamilton, N. Y., and brig
South, M. Y.
The Civilian, of Wednesday, no
mention of fever. We suppose it is even
more difficult to run down rumors, and
traoowp ifcets in a panic in Gatveeton than
Houston. We know wo have done our best
to puhikfc the truth here, and finding m ny
1 disagreeing without, both ways all
the time, are tolerably well persuaded that
wo have hit as near the truth as a human
editor could be expected. We are satisfied
that the editor of the Civilian would not be
backward in publishing all reliable facts
he eould obtain in the matter, and the News
the same.
We are told that, in Athens, St. Paul
found an altar erected to the unknown god,
the devout Athenians ^having erected an
altar to every known god ever heard of.
We aotice among the death at Qalveston,
as reported by the News, in addition to the
" Doubtful," is one who "died from natural
causes, disease unknown. It is probable
that that that was not yellow fever. May
be it was what we call " whiskey fever.'
The News, of rhuraiay, learns of no
new cases of yellow fevar. No deaths of
yellow fever are reported.
The Civilian says that the receipts of
cotton at that port last week were 6174
bales ; exports, 2079; sales, 1957 ; stock
on band, 16,681 bales. Quotations for
middling, 10J@10jr
The Civilian says that some new oases of
yellow fever liave occurred, though the
City8exton having died, it is impossible to
get a correct mortuary report. The Civil-
ian backs out accordingly, and leaves rumor
in possession of the field, and that part of
rumor which reaches us by word of mouth, is
bad enough, about ten times worse than we
are willing to believe. The Civilian men-
tions a subscription in aid of the destisute
sick in Houston.

The Brenham Ranger calls on the farmers
of Washington county to form an agricultu-
ral society there. Store houses and offices
are in great demand jn Brehmun, the Ban-
ger having been obliged to give up its office
and seek other quarters on account of the
rush. Some rowdies have been making
too much noise in Brenam, at night. The
town authorities should look after them.
The Hempstead Courier, of Saturday,
publishes a card, signed by all the physi-
cianns of that place, to the effect that there
is no yellow fever there. This will, doubt-
less, satisfy the public. The disposition of
people to gossip, is a very annoying one.
Madame Rumor is a very old woman, and
has fooled so many people in the world,
that it would seem as though the public
might get sharp enough after awhile to de-
tect her tales. She was an old dame even
in Tlrgil's time, and she has grown no
younger, nor any more truthful, since.
Marachalk should not let his temper rise
about her, however. He will find out,
after a few years' residence in the lower
country, that, if he gives himself up to
" contrrdiotmg reports," he will do little
else.

The Dallas Herald gives the Intelligencer
a bit of truth about the political aspect of
'tbiac* The Herald has hit the nail on the
head when it charges the Intelligencer
With endeavoring to cling to Reagan's coat
tail. Reagan lias no sttrlsh awnBoSTo
the Union as Gen. Houston, and his Paschal
has, and therefore does not join them in their
efforts to break up the only party that has
ever battled for the rights of the 8tales, as
against federalism. Nor is there any con-
siderable party in Texas that subscribes to
these anti-Democratio doctrines of Houston
and Paschal, although the people have
honored the chief with the governorship,
and hence we believe that Reagan, occu-
pying the position he does, stands the most
prominent of all the candidates spoken of,
fbrlheU. S. Senate; and he will go there,
too, let what will be said, unless we have
read the signs of the times altogether in
vain.
The Herald mentions that Mr. Boulay
has manufactured a large quantity of Texas
wine at Reunion, (Victor Considerant's
settlement) which he can sell at 60 ctsgper
bottle. It would pay him well to ship it
to Houston.
There is an abundance of mast in Dallas
county. Pork will, consequently, be cheap,
The Herald says:—J
We were amused the other day at hear-
ing aa account of a fierce battle between a
centipedo over six inches in length, and a
shanghai chicken, on the premises of Mr.
Carter, in Dallas. Both the belligerents
showed -pluok and fought well, but the
shanghai was too much for his adversary,
and after whipping him out in a fair fight,
swallowed the disgusting insect alive, legs
and all, at one effort, gave a prolonged
crow, flapped bis wings, and walked off as
proud, if not prouder, than Napoleon, after
the peace of Villafranca^ The shanghai has
beep closely watched since that time, but
shows no symptom of going into a decline.
These insects are thought to be very pois-
onous, and the one swallowed by the
ohicken was an unusually large one. Mr.
Carter will vouch for the facta, was an eye-
witness and tried to separate the combat-
ants, but could not, Shanghai wap fighting
for his breaktast and not for glory.
That [centipede will not hurt shanghai.
Sven rattlesnate poison may be swallowed
by human beings with impunity.

LATEST SEWS.
j. We have new tmeans dates to Saturday,
With later European, California, Cuba, etc,
news:
St. Lovif, Oct. 6.—By a private note from
the Postmaster at Santa Clara, the Repub-
lican, of this city, has advices twenty-four
hours later than brought by the regular
mail.
It is to the effect that Senator Broderiek
and Judge Terry had already met, and that
the latter was supposed to be mortally
wounded. He received his antagonist's shot
in the throat.
From El Paso the courier brings intelli-
gence that there is upwards of a ton of sil-
ver bullion at that point, awaiting shipment
to the United Slates.
The river mines of Arizona are proving
very productive, but the miners are greatly
annoyed by the ooustant depredations of
tbe Apache Indians. Rich veins of quartz
icold have been discovered in the Santa
Cruz river, near Fort Buchanan.
Washisqxos, Oct. 6.—A telegraphic des-
patch was to-day transmitted to the U. S.
Marshal at New Orleans, with formal in-
structions, from *he Government, to seize
and to hold the steamship Philadelphia, in
ease there are grounds for belief that she
was engaged in filibustering.
the caPu?n ai>d crew of
the Philadelphia, in the same case, with a
VL M p'00eedings against them.
The Marshal ig alto authorized to arrest
any and all filibusters on the point of em-
barkation, and with that object to order out
an artillery company from Baton Rouge, in
case of necessity.
The Government is determined to act vig-
orously, and once for all to put an end to
filibusterism.
Washington, Oct C.—Lord Lyons, the
British Minister, has had an interview with
Gen. Cass, on the subject of the reported
filibuster expedition to Nicaragua.
In the course of the interview, the Min-
ister informed the Secretary of State that it
was the determination of the British Gov-
ernment to protect Nicaragua against all
incursions, and by force of arms, if neces-
sary.
It isalso stated that the propriety of such
action is recognized by the United States,
and the course of the British Minister ac-
quiesced in.
A despatch was therefore transmitted, by
the last Aspinwall steamer from New York,
to the commander of the British squadron
on the Central American coast, instructing
him to prevent, if possible, the landing of
filibusters in Nicaragua, or, should they
succeed in evading him, to land marines
and drive them from the country by force of
arms.
New yobk, Oct. 6.—The Vanderbilt
steamship Northern Light, and the Pacific
mail steamship Baltio (formerly of the Col-
lins line) sailed from this port yesterday, for
Aspiswall.
The California mails were taken out by
the steamship Northern Light, under the
contract with Mr. Vanderbilt. Mr. John-
son, the contractor by the Nicaragua route,
had previously given the Postmaster Gen-
eral notice that he would be unable to ful-
fill his contract.
Washington, Oct. 6.—In consequence of
the failure of Mr. Johnson, the Postmaster
General yesterday concluded a contract with
the Panama Railroad Company for the con-
veyance of the U. S. mails across that Isth-
mns to.the 30 of June, 1800.
The compensation is to be at the rate of
$100,000 a year—the same as formerly.
This separate contract became necessary,

the Government now falls back—was exclu-
sive of Isthmus transportation.
Orders, in conformity with this contract,
were transmitted to the Isthmus by the
Northern Light, so that there will be no
difficulty in the transit.
Augusta, Oct. 6.—The Hon. Joseph
Brown, the Democratic candidate, has been
re-elected Governor of this State by at least
15,000 majority over Akin, his]opponent.
All the eight districts have returned Dem-
ocratic members to Cengress except the
third and seventh. In the latter district
Hill, the opposition candidate, is elected by
200 majority.
In the eight district, formerly represent-
ed by the Hon. A. H. Stevens, Jones, the
Democratic candidate, is elected by from
250 to 350 majority.
Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—During the sit-
ting of the American Board of Foreign
Missions in this city to-day, Dr. Cheever, of
New York, submitted a memorial asking the
adoption by Congress of more vigorous
measures for the suppression of the slave
trade.
After some discussion, the memorial was
finally referred.
New York, Get. 6.—The International
Cricket match was yesterday morning re-
sumed at Hoboken.
The English won the match in one inning.
The Americans played well, but all the
eleven Englishmen played spendidly.
Buffalo, Oct. 6.—The great prize fight
between Kelly and Rice came off at Point
Abino, Canada, to-eay.
Kelly was whipped in twelve rounds, his
antagonist taking only forty minutes to do
it in.
Halifax, Oct. 7.—The Cunard steamship
Canada arrived hereto-day, with Liverpool
advices of Saturday, September 24th, being
three days later than the news the Hungar-
ian brought.
Liverpool, Sept. 24.—The close of the
cotton mark|t is marked with a tendency
to a decline ; and, during the week, a de-
cline on all qualities is to be reported,
amounting to |d., and, in some cases, even
to more, on inferior qualities.
Holders have been free offerers, but there
is no disposition to press sfocks on the mar-
ket.
For the week, the sales amount to 46,000
bales, of which exporters took 9,000, and
speculators 1,000 bales. On Friday, the
sales amounted to 6,000bales.

Sr. Louis, Sept. 27, 1859.
Mb. E&rroB.':—Having been a resident of
St. Louis only three weeks, I shall not pre-
tend to describe the manners and morals of
the people; but I can give you my impres-
sions of the "lay of the land," and of the pro-
cesses of labor and art, which are everywhere
patent to the eye of the stranger. This city
is bqilt upon a high bluff, or swell of land
on the West bank of the Mississippi. It ex-
tends about six miles North and South, and
about two East and West. It is rapidly ad-
vancing towards the Pacific. In every
street, and in all the suburbs, buildings are
daily rising; and the click of the mason's
hammer greets you at early, dawn, and con-
tinues its music during the day ip every
open area in the city. The soil is a reddish
clay resting on lime stone below. The clay,
is fit for the making of bricks anywhere,
simply by moulding it with water. A spe-
cies of bituminons coal is found within a
few miles of the city, which serves for fuel
and for the burning "of the bricks; so that if
a person owns a plot of ground that is not
immediately surrounded by dwellings, he
may mould his brick, burn them and work
them into a house on his own premises;
and if he digs deep enough, be may quarry
in the same place the lime stone for the
foundation, lintels and window caps of his
house. There is, therefore, no want of
materials for building, so long as any land
remains uncovered. The paving of the
streets is of lime stone. This is soon worn
into dust in dry weather, which makes a
very troublesome and deep mud in wet
weather. The soil in the vicinity is cut up
by the rains, wherever there is a declivity,
by furrows, clefts and gorges from one to
twenty feet deep. Another feature of the
County is its "sink boles" as they are here
called. The soil seems to have washed
through some clefts in the limestone below,
and the holes are filled with water. Thus
little ponds from one rod to twenty in diame-
ter are found all about the city and some-
times in it. These generate swarms of mus-
ketoes; and when filled from the drainings
of the dwellings, (rive rise to t.— —  -o- 
according to the best judges of such matters.
They are usually filled up, where the ground
is needed for building. Sometimes the water
in them is pure and supports fishes. These
sink holes seem to the stranger to be great
nuisances ; they are looked upon with in-
difference by the citizens. The surface of
the soil dries very soonaftor a rain, so that
dust and mud alternate with each other ac-
cording to the nature of the weather. The
house I occupy is about one mile and a half
from the river, and not twenty five rods
from some of the best residences in the city,
and yet I see cattle, sheep and swine feed-
ing on the open area across the street. So
the refinements of city life and Arcadian
simplicity are intimately blended. When
I have learned more of the society and in-
stitutions of the city, you will hear from mc
again. y.

OBITUARY. .
Died in this city, on Wednesday morning
the 5th inst., of yellow fever, Mr. Benjamin
c. Lambdin, a native of Penn.
It is seldom our painful duty to announce
in so short an illness the death of a young
gentleman, so generally esteemed for, the
many estimable qualities with which he was
endowed, as the object of this notice. To
those who knew him best, Mr. Lambdin had
endeared himself by his candid, manly and
unasuming manners; as a man of business
he was gentlemanly in his deportment to
all, zealous and faithful in his duty to his
employers, and a kind warm hearted friend.
It was scarely known that he was unwell,
when the sad announcement of his death
cast a gloom over the city. Although it was
not his privilege to have his last hours
soothed by the prcsoncc of female relatives,
yet it will prove some alleviation to tlicir
sorrow to know that he had kind friends
here, who did all in their power to brighten
his passage across the dark waters of
Death.

caution.
The article of Whiskey now so well known as "Daly's
Aromatic Valley Whiskey,*' has established a reputation
so universal as renders it difficult for the manufacturer
to keep pace with the demand." This is the [result ;of
persevering energy in its introduction, sustained by a
determination adopted at the outset, and never for an
instant departed from, that its original purity and unri-
valed excellence should continue to the end.
. The common late, attendant upon all such successfu
efforts, has overtaken the manufacturer, It is imitated
by unscrupulous impostors, and an inferior and spurious1
article is palmed off upon the community, to
the great detriment of the public as "well
as injury to the manufacturer, both In emolument and
well-earned repute. Every effort has been made to guard
against this piracy by a Copyright of tho Label, and by
peculiar shape of the bottle.
I caution the public against this imuosition upon them
and upon my righls, and I earnestly desire information
from those who may possess It, by having been victi-
mized or otherwise, as will enable mc to protect the pub-
lic and myself by prosecution to the utmost extent of
the law. The genuine4'Daly's Aromatic Valley Whiskey"
is put up hi cases of 12 bottles each, with light yellow
Label, and sealed with yellow wax, with the proprietor's
stamp on the wax, and fac-simile signature of the pro*
prletor on the label. All other'artlcles'are Imitations.
$3 Consumers can depend upon!getting a pure ar-
ticle when they buy the Valley Whiskey, as it is sold by
the bottle and case only. WM. h. DAY,
