The Cholera in the West. The St.
' Louis papers state lliut the cholera is raging
with learful mortality at Liberty, nnd other
points on the Missouri river. The small
pox is also quite prevalent, and is carrying
ofT its victims daily,
A colony of Belgians, recently located
near the town of Kanses, on the Missouri
river, have nearly all died of cholera. The
surgeon in attendacce died from the same
disease.
The St. Louis Republican has a letter
from the Plains, which gives a sad account
of the ravages of cholera among the Cali
fornia emigrants. It is believed that at
least two hundred and fifty deaths occurred
during the first two weeks of June. One
hundred and fifty graves were counted by
one person who was traveling from Fort
Kearney to the Westwardi
A letter from Kaskaskia, III., dated July
13, says that four deaths by cholera had
occuned at that place during the four pre
vious days.
At St. Louis on the 17th there were 100
deaths, of which 90 were by cholera.
There is no cholera at Pittsburgh. The
papers say the general health of the city is
as good as usual at this season.
There was ono death by cholera at Co
lumbus, Ohio, on the 23d.
At Cincinnati, from the 1st to the 23d

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, July 27.
The past week, in Congress, has been
remarkable not fur what has been done,
but not dune. The House was to take up
the California ajinissinn bill, but (lie mo
tion was defeated by a large majority, and
the appropriation bill were taken up, but
no progress made in (hem. In the Senate,
the original compromisebill of Jho Commit
tee of Thirteen was abandoned, because it
could not bo passed in its present form,
Amendments, deemed essential to its sue
cess, were framed and brought forwird un
dcr flattering auspice, but nothing has been
done, save to continue the discussion,
Tho Northern me.-nberfr, with majority
of fifty in the House, were, at the com.
mericcmcnt of the session, bent upon pas
sing the Wilmot proviso, and admitting
California. Both measures were attempted,
and signally failed. The reason given for
thoir failure, is that, tho Free Soil faction
had taken them in hand, as their special
property, and that the o'd lino Whigs and
Democrats would not follow their lead. Ev
ery demonstration, made by the Northern
extremists, like Seward and Horace Mann,
lias counteracted their own movements.
Sumo of tho movements of the South bavo
also boen inn do use of with great effect, in
favour of conciliation, as will bo seen by
the presses here, and by the last speeches of
Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay.
Mr. Jefl'erson Danis said that thern was
n order in existence, at prescn', for the
interference of the United States military
with tho authority of Texas, if she under
took to enforce it. 1 ho oners wcro to pre
serve a neutrality. The original order from
Mr. Marcy was to aid Texas.
Tiierc is some disagreement as to the
character of existing orders to Col, Monroe.
Tho fact is that Gen. Taylor had come to
a decision to resist Texas, but had given
no orders to that, effect. The question is
now before Mr. Fillmore, and has not been
decided.
Mr. Butler objected entirely to llie Com,
mission proposed. Its object was to buy n
pnrt of Texas to moke a Free Slate on the
Western border. The whole community
was ;o pay for the purchoec of territory to
moke a Free Slate. We not only gove up
slaveholding territory, but we established
a Free State on I lie border as a refuge for
fugitive slaves. That was the effect ol the
proposition, as he warned his friends.
A new turn was given to the discussion
by a Very absurd movement on the pari ol
Mr. Seward. lie moved mi amendment,
providing the President be authorized to de
clare New Mexico a Stale of the Union,
on on equol footing with the original Slates,
provided tho Constitution adopted by her
wasrepublicon. Upon this he made a long
speech. Mr. Praltsaid no other mnn would
have made so impious a proposition; no
man who did not avow that he was a traitor
tii hi oath, and was governed by a law
higher than the Constitution. The Senator
might to bo expelled for that avowal. Mr.
Seward denied the doctrine imputed to him,
and undertook to explain it away, and Mes
srs. Hale. Baldwin, and Chaso came to his
aid with some Jesuitical disquisitions con
tending that it was nothing but the admisi
sion ol the existence of Gud, for which they
were willing to be expelled also. Sew
ard's amendment was rejected Ayes( Sew.
ard. Nays, 42 not ono Senator voting
with him, and verifying the remark of Mr.
Pratt, that he was the only persnn who
would have offered it.
The difficulty between this Government
and that f Portugal, is slated to be settled.
The death of Mr. D. P. King, of Massachu
setts, member of the House, will be an
nounced to-day.
Washington, July 28. 1550.
Yesterday the death of tho Hon. Daniel
P. King, a member of t lio House from Mas.
sachusettsi, was announced in both Houses,
and an adjournment took place. This is
the only death that has occurred among the
members of tha House al this session. Mr.
King left this city, unwell, and died at
home,
Mr. Ewing. late Secretary of tho Interipr,
look his scat as Senator from Ohio, in the
place of Mr. Corwin. Mr. Ewing is a man
of talents and great energy, a very strong
Whig, and like most of the Ohio people,
very much prejudiced against Slavery. He
was, in the lata Cabinet, a supporter of the
'President's plan," and came into collision
with Mr. Clay, in privato conversations,
on that subject. He is the Cabinet member,
alluded to by Mr. Fo.te, as having used
his influence among members of Congress,
sgainst the Compromise Bill. Of course
he may bo regarded as sn opponent of the
measure, and one not content to give a si.
lent vote upon it. .
Il is rather doubtful whether a final vole
ever will be obtained- Mr. Douglas yes.
terday brought forward proposition to in
troduce in the Senate the previous question,
with view to put some limit to debate.
Dut I doubt very much whether the bill
ATHENS, TENN., FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1850.
can bo put in such a shape as to secure a
majority of votes even in the Senate. The
proposition to submit the Texan question to
a Commission will lose as many votes a
it will gain. It wiil alienate the support of
tho Texan Senators. But, again, tho Sill
cannot pass, without a reduction of the
boundaries f California, and such an
amendment will nlienato same Northern
support. It appears to mo Ihnt the project
is dead, and no new schema is likely to
arise from its nslies. It remains only for
Congress to pnss the Appropriation Hills,
and adjourn, giving a truce to the territori
al questions. We must give up Congress,
or Congress must give up slavery agitation.
The Northern people seem now to bo fully
aware of tho dangers that threaten the
Union, nnd yet, nre slow to lake any steps
to save it. The danger that was to arise
from tho acquisition of new territory was
foreseen, but not provided against. The
parly that got us into the difficulty has not
strength to gel us out of it. Cor. Char.

SC7 Mr. Walsh, the Paris correspond
ent of the New York Journal of Com

A Remarkable Freak of a Manoic is
noticed by I lie Trenton True American as
occiirrins at Bordenlown yesterday morning-.
The locomotive, winch was to bring
the morning train from Bordenlown to
Trenton was missed, and the engineer pro
cured another when they reached Trenton
they -discovered the missing one fast in the
switches, blowing ofl steam al great rate.
"When they came U it they found a
man trying to rebuild the fire, and the water
and cinders splashing over him and the
engine. It seems that a crazy man, hailing
from New- Hope, Pa., had come here from
Bordenlown on Monday evening, and re
turned in the same train. Some time dur
ina the night, or early in the morning, this
madman had gone to the engine, kindled a
fire, put on one of the pumps, which had
been taken off, and lot finding the oil had
melted tallow, with which he greased all
the apparatus and, putiing on steam, came
up to this city like a streak of ""rcaeed
lightning." The engine had been managed
very well, as it was not at all injured; but
it is supposed he did not know how to back
il when it got in the switches here, which
were locked. We understand he must
have passed one or two switch.es before
reaching this station He said he look the
engine to see how fast it could be made to
go. He was taken back to Bordentown,
and sent thence to his hiends. His escape
from destruction was very lucky for him."
Tt'pENNT Frugalitv. Some industri
ous muck-worm is busily employed in
hunting up the items of cost of President
Taylor's funeral, and he sets them down,
including the powder burnt at the United
Slates military and naval stations, at a hun
dred thousand dollars. He even counts the
number of yards of crape used, and adds
the retail price. Proper public frugality is
highly commendable, but it is iib-r a con
templible exhibition of miserly meanness.
to see one sitting down to measure the loss
to a nation of one of its purest patriots by
the cost of his funeral expenses. The
living virtues of the illustrious dead are
worth more in examples lo generations
coming after than all the pecuniary wealth
ol tbe whole public treasury. Cirt. Gas.
Last Survivor of the Concord Fight.
We learn from the Bunker Hill Aurora.
that Mr. Amos Biker of Lincoln, Mass.,
died on Tuesday last, ltiih. He was the
last survivor of the Concord Fight, and the
only man living who bore arms on the 19ih
of April, "75. He was present al the late
celebration at Concord, and was 91 years
of sge an the 0th of April last.
A man's nature is indicated by his dress.
The open hearted man wears his clothe

tractsd men sport neatness, and white

DANIEL WEBSTER.
In the foreground tho new Cabinet
which President Fillmore is colling about
li t in. stands ilifl colossal fijrurn of Daniel
Webster. There he is, one of tho giants,
his ii:ossive brow locking (is if modo to bear
the wciil.'t of empire, and tho light of -oge
tempering with calm serenity that grand
anil thoughtful countenance, ns the rays of
Ihe setting sun linger upon and beautify the
stern nnd ruined mountain side. There ho

proud to present to tho nation as a repre
sentative of our country o statesman vho

ani tho JSew.nnd whoso name in ony tJtibi'
net mid any eV.lerprisu is a lower of strength
and of tnojosiy, against which tho waves of
faction and of section bent in vain,
Daniel Webster has before filled the ollice
of Secretary of State. It wns not known,
when he entered it, whether he could add
i.ew laurels to his fame in other fields. At
tho bar, he had long stood prominent, in tiio
realms of law, of logic and of eloquence; as
a scholar and &n orator, ho had no rival
among the public men of America; as a
Senatorial debater, ho stood wi'hout a peer,
wielding in his sinewy arm a battle oxo of
argument, hrnvy as tho ponderous w eapon
ol Cuair le Leon, yet bright nnd keen ns the
scimetar of Saladin. Und?r the renown of
such a reputation, ho camo to the Depart
ment of Stale; yet. instead of disappointing
expectation so highly raised, he inure than
realized the most ardent hopes. He proved
himself, in his management, of our foreign
affairs, us re'iinrktihle for powers in diplo
macy ns for eloquence in debate. Wise,
colm, fhr-sihted, firm, yet liberal, ho set
tled advantageously nun of I he most nncirnt
and oinino'is ol'our dillicnll jes with England,
and elevated the character of our country
by the dignified spirit, as well ns masterly
skill with winch hn conducted its affairs,
Wero there no innuoiiipiitH of Daniel Wcln
ster but his correspondency ns Secretary of
Slttlo, he might well rest upon them his
immortality. Even considered only as
models of pur,', clear, vigorous English
composition, they are not to he surpassed by
any similar productions upon the public
records of England and America.
Yet, it was possible r;von for Ihis man,
clothed nr.d i"uniJ with all these laurels,
and advancing ; H tho bnrdor of old age, to
wiii4iow trophies, which should outshine nil
tho achievements of his younger duys.
While there was no longer n vice, lo ques

ers, and his genuine American Moling, dis
played so tirmly and so not) y during Ins
administration ol'our foreign nffairs. il was
asserted that he wns a ninii of section, and
that the powerful structure of his intellec
tual organization wns accompanied by an
absence ol moral curngo which destroyed
llie harmonious syminelry of this character,
It bus been reserved lo Inter events lo (row
tho lal fang from the serpent tooth of mal
ice nnd to vinilieine Daniel Wensler, as a
Iruo man und ti great genius, as a pn'rioi
and a slatc-iii'iti. .The most bitter of his
democratic i pponents have hailed his recent
efforts with o loud hurst of npplause, cchced
even from nil South Carolina, a' the manly
nnd noble stand tnken by Daniel Webster in
Iho Senate of tho United States, nnd tho
heroic and sublime ground assumed by this
great moral hero, when in the very front of
Boston 1'ar.nticism, ho thundered forth, '
tread no slip backwards." The true char,
acter of Daniel Webster is now understood.
He is seen as tho great American, to
whom North and South are a coirinou coun
try, who is rendy to sacrifice in a moment
admiration of hi own section, rather than
do injustice to a section which has not
alwoys rendered jusiice to him; but uho
could not, even if ho would, prevent poster
ity of nil sections nnd of nil lands from
proclaiming him ihe gfent sl intellect of llie
nineteenth century, and a patriot nliovo fear
nil above reproach.
Such is the man whom Preside tit Fillmore
has (.elected as Secretory uf Siote. We

token that (he new President will pla.it his

A Paris letter ol Sth instant, published in

"Yesterday I was witness, as was all
Paris, of a balloon sscension, which wns
perhaps unique in the history of arostation.
Margol ascended in IS20, mounted upon a
stag, but both he and stag were in an ordi
nary cnr. Yesterday, M. Poitevin ascend
ed on horseback, and without a cnr. The
horse, a line nnd spirited young while onii
mnl, was suspended beneath the balloon, in
the place usually occupied by the car.
Bands passed beneath the belly and well
secured, left the animal in an easy position,
with the legs free. Mr. Poitevin, 'clothed
as a jockey, mounted the horse, which was
saddled and bridled in the ordinary manner,
bihI gave orders to ett loose. The horse
seemed loth to quit his mother earth, and
remonstrated a little when he found that
he was being taken off of his feet. But
once in air he became ns motionless as
though he had been struck with paralysis.
He must, in (act, have been not a little
astonished, and it was probably that aston
ishment which struck him dumb and mo
tionless. They moved off and up rapidly,
now hid, now seen amid the clouds in
noith-east direction. We hnve not yet had
accounts of the descent, nnd do not know
whether it was hnppily and safely effected."
