The New Orleans Bulletin of Jane 14th gives the following account of the interments on the th: ‘The interments at the Catholic Cemetery on Wednesday, were 34; at the Protestant, Io. Total 49. Cholera has already declined, one half according to some, for more than one-half according to others.” FROM THE ST. Louis ‘times,’”? JUNE 15. ‘Tae Ga” @a.—This inscrutable disease is spreading throughout the country. It has already appeared in almost every town and settlement on or near water courses in the West, anh 7 now extending its conquests to places and nithalens, which former experience had led to believe were beyond its reach. We stated last week that the disease had broken out, aid made considerable ravages in New London and in the pleasant and elevated country mand about Palmyra. It is now our melancholy duty to inform our readers of its appearance and devastating’ pro gress in the opposite extremity of the State. The Jack son Eagle of the Sun just, in speaking of the matter, says, that the first case occurred on the 20th of Last month, but that the disease was not very general or virulent until the last week. ‘The same paper gives the names of nine persons who had fallen victims, during that period, toge ther with three black women and two children. Amongst the former we regret to see our Senator, the Honorable ALEXANDER BUCKNER and Lacy, who died on the same day, (Krmday the 7th, after an illness of about twen ty hours. Two of their negro family also died about the same tme. A gentleman who is well acquainted with the country and inenhabitants, has told us that all of the dead, whose names he recognizes, lived on or near the margin of the Big Swamp. cascown City has, for the last two weeks, been com paratively free of the disease ; there have been a few scattering cases, but all alarm on the subject has ceased. ce) Lixindtrox, (Kr.) June 19, Tre Craorera.—We hate the pleasure to inform our friends at home, as well as those abroad, that after raging for two weeks, with a violence and fatality without per haps a solitary parallel in the history of the malady since its first appearance in America, the Cholera has so far abated as to afford a cheering prospect of its shortly leav ing our il-fated city entirely. Since Saturday morning we have had comparatively but few new cases. Most of the deaths since that time having been from old or relapsed cases. This abatement in the pestilence should not, however, cause the least abatement mm our embavors to keep our premises well cleansed, and to prevent our children and servants from using improper diet. “The disease still lingers among us, and a little imprudence and neglect may cause it to burst forth again with all its violence and totality. To give any description of the gloom and sorrow de tacted on the countenances of our citizens, or of the lonely and desolate appearance of our lately flourishing and lively city for the last two weeks, and especially for the List, would be impossible. Whose only who have mane saed it, can form any conception of the gloomy and saddle sing spectacle, Ie would be equally impossible, until those of our citi zens who have been spared shall return, to give a correct account, or even a probable estimate, of the number of human beings who have, in the short space of two weeks, been called from time to eternity, ‘the list would be appaling. Itis supposed by those who have taken some Dems of ascetlala to ¢ vamer as near as it could be done amidst the gloom, anxiety, and mourning that have per vader all classes, tat the number of deuths within the eny Imuts will not fall short of 300. By others it is thought that S50 would not be too high an estimate. For ourself since the first week the malady made its attack, we have taken no pains to ascertain the number. We have oartaken too much of the general feeling that has pre pared, to attempt it. As soon as our citizens shall have returned to the city, we will endeavor to procure for publication, the names of all who have died , and shall take it, as a favor if our friends in the different sections of the city, will aid us in doing so. Among those who have died, there are many of our most worthy citzens. A few of the names only, we can give at present, to wit: Jos. Vowler, cashier U.S. Bank, W. T. Smith, clerk do. Gen. Thos. Bodley, Clerk Circuit Court, Captain John Westlethwaite, Thos. T. Skillman, Editor Western Lumbary, Capt. Philip Spare and wife, Mr. Anthony Gaunt, Mr. Francis Walker, (stone-cutter,) is wife and son, Dow J. Boswell, Mrs. Archibald Logan, Michael Fisher, Wm.

Discrnachty Lesur.—A man named Oyler was re cently tried at Greensburg, in this State, for the murder ed hibchid.

Anld yet—oh shame—shame—the fiend was found guilty of murder in the second degree only!!! We never heard of a more unighteous decision, ‘the crime was pallated we suppose, because the murderer—poor man —was drunk! Poor fellow ! why did they not bring in a verdict of justifiable homcide ?— York Pa. Farmer.
