It may be attribute.! to the derangement and
mismanagement of the Post Office machine,

the city of Cincinnati.
Flying rumors, says the Albany Daily Adver
tiser, have been about, of the existence of the
Choltra in this neighborhood. Slimmer com
plaints are somewhat prevalent, because people
wdl eat unripe fruit and vegetables; but we can
not learn of a single case of the Asiatic Cholera.
Let the public be cautious in their diet, ch-unly
in their persons, and careful in not permitting
the Accumulation of filth about their houses and
yards, and we venture to predict that Albany
will continue healthy. We are advocates for
the chloride of lime. The Bostonians attribute
their comparative health in 1833, to the free use
of the chloride. .

“MY EXP£RIMENT—MY CURRENCY.”
[A Fact.]—The Secretary of War, Lewis
Cass, has ordered a quarter master of the ar
i my, stationed at Cincinnati, Ohio, and neigh
| borhood. to pay Indian annuities at Logans’
! Port, Indiana. To place him in funds, the eco
nomical Secretary, has ordered two wagons,
loaded with specie, $91,000 from Philadelphia
to Cincinnati!!! (Last war they transported tent
i poles from Philadelphia to Buffalo—Oh hush!)—
| and this too, under the special charge of a cap
j tain in the army, who will receive compensation
under the head ‘ Transportion,’ if he is not en
j titled to the pay of a brevet Major, in command
of a separate detachment on special duty.
| $1820 Being 2 per cent.—the cheapest freight
from Philadelphia to Cincinnati.
500 For transportation and forage of com
» mander of detachment.
$2320 For ‘my experiment.’
The pet bank here has 3 or 8100,000 of pub
lic monies, to pay any debts due by Govern
! ment, to reimburse the Philadelphia pet, or mon
ster, (no matter which,) in the course of a
month or two. The Franklin will send, at an
expense of 2 per cent, $91,000, to Philadelphia.
$2320 more for a friend. ‘ So it works.’ Bet
ter take a good ‘ resate,” as Major Downing
says—it wont cost so much.
It would have been too regular to have drawn
the money at Cincinnati, and send it up to Lo- !
gans Port,—it would have saved $5120 to the
government, on one Indian annuity. How you
talk? CO AHEAD FOR STOKER,

THE GINERAL AND HIS 80N ROBERT.
Preserx’pd Fish commenced life an appren- i
tice to a blacksmith, and his next situation was i
that of a seaman on board of a whaling ship.— j
From being a h ind before the mast, he rose to
be a mate, and finally commander, and in this
hazardous pursuit amassed the foundation of his
fortune.
Saul Alley was bound when a small boy, ap
prentice to a coachmaker. During his appren
ticeship his father died, and left him totally de
pendent on his own exertions. The very clothes
he wore he was obliged to earn by toiling extra
hours after the regular time of leaving off work
had passed. The foundation of his fortune he
acquired by the exercise of frugality and pru
dence while a journeyman mechanic.
Cornelius W. Lawrence, the present Mayor
of New York, was a farmer’s boy, and worked
many along day in sand and sunshine on Long
Island. There were few lads within twenty
miles ot him that could mow a wider swarth or
turn a neater furrow.
These men have been the architects of their
own fortunes; they have earned them by the
sweat of their brows; and their very wealth, be
sides the other means of doing good to their fel
low men, which it puts in their power, is, in it
self, a perpetual stimulus to the Mechanic and
artisan to earn a similar reward by similar fru
gality, industry and perseverance.
