guet number of his journal, we extract the fol- Ptarmigan, or lowing sensible observations — WHAT 18 CHOLERA? =» Cholera is the exagge.stion of intestinal vermicu- lar motion. This deftvition, explained in haugeage ow rofes- sional, would do more good thaa af ae poplar Te- cipes for the cure of cholera ever , becuase it expresses the inkereut nature of cholera and sug- ests the principles of cure, im its early stage, to Ke, most vnreflecting mind. The publi 48 Rone the better, or wiser, or safer, for one of all the teu thousdnd “cures” for cholera | proclaimed in the public printa with @ confidence which itself is a sufficient guarantee that however well informed the authors may be in other matters, ag regards cholera itve!f they ure criminally ignorant; for no man has a right to address the public on any subject connected with it» general health unless he understands that subject in ita broadest sense, practically as well us the vetically. As cholera has become a geveral, and perhaps, at least for the present, a permanent disease of the country, and at this time is more or less prevalent im every State of the Union—and one, too, which may at any hour sweep any one of us into the | grave—it belo: to carasfety to understand its | aatore for curailves, and do what we may to spread the knowledge among tho-e around us. | A “live” cheese or a cup of fishing worms may ve an idea of the motion of the intestines in or- | pad health. [be buman gut is a hollow, flexible tnbe, between Shy end forty feet long; but, in order to be contained within the body, it is, to save space, arranged asa sailor would a coil of rope, | forever moving in health—moving too much in some diseaees—too little in others. To regulate this motion is the first ol of the physician in every disease. In head-avnes, bilious affections, costive- tess, and the like, this great coiled up intestine, usually called ‘‘the bowels,’ is “‘torpid,” and medi- cines are given to wake it up; and what does that cures the man. Cost veners is t-¢ foundation—that is, one of the first rings—ow it is the attend- amt of every disease or otter of ics progress. But the buman body 1s | made in such a mannsr that a sis.) step cannot be taken without tend'ny to move the intestines; thus it is, in the main, that those who move about on their feet a great ea! have the least sickness, and on the other hand those who sit a great deal, aud hence move abont but little, never have sound health—it is an im) os: have never known ar ption. Chora being « disesse in which the bowels | move too much the object should be to lessen that | ' i itixa rule to which I motion, »1d as every step a man takes increases intestinal motion, the very first thing to be doue inacase of cholera is to secure quietude, It re- uires but a small amount of intelligence to put these ideas toge’ , and ifthey could only be burnt in. on every heart this fearful scourge would be robbed of myriads of its victims. { There can be e of cholera without quietude —the quietude of lying on tue back. The pbysician who understands his calling is always on the look out for the instincts of nature; and he who foliows them most and interferes with | them least, is the one who is oftenest successful. | They are worth more to him than all the rigmarole stories which real or imaginary invalids pour in upon the pbysician’s ear with such facile volability. If, for example, a pbysi-vian is called to a speech. less patient—a stranger, about whom no one can give any informution—he knows, if the breathing is long, Leavy and measured, that the brain is in danger; if he breathes quick from the upper part of the chest, the abdomen needs attention; or if the abdomen itself mainly moves in respiration, the lungs are suffering. in violent cases of inflamma tion of ‘the bowels, the patient shrinks involunta- rily from any approach to that part of his person. These are the instincts of nature, and are invalua- ble guides in the treatment of disease. Apply this principle to cholera, or even com- mon diarrhea, when the bowels do not act more than three or fonr times a day; the patient feela such an unwillingness to motion that he even rises from his seat with the most unconquer- able reluctance; and when he has, from any cause, been moving about considerably, the first moment of taking a comfortable seat is perfectly delicious, and he feels as if he could almost stay there always. ‘The whole animal creation is subject to disease, and the fewest nnmber, comparatively speaking, die of sicknes*: instinct is their only physician. Pericot quietude, then, on the ck, ie the first. the imperative, the essential step towards the cure of any case of cholera. To this art may leod her aid towurds making ihat quietade more perfect, by binding a cloth around the belly pretty firmly. Thi acts beneficially in diminishing the room within the own to man, im some stage | abdomen for motion; a man may be so pressed in a crowd as not to be able to stir. This ban should be about a foot broad, and long enough be doubled over the body; pieces of tape should be sewn to one end of the fiannel, and a correspondin; number to another part, being a safer and more ef- fective Cmeeti J than pins. If this cloth is of stout woollen flannel, it has two additional advantages— its roughness irritates the skin and drawa the blood to the sur‘ace from the interior, and by its warmth retaine that blood there; thus preventing that cold, clammy condition of the skin which takes place in the last stages of cholera. Facts confirm this. When the Asiatic scourge first broke out amon; the German soldiery, immense numbers perished; but an imperative order was issued, in the hottest weather, that ench soldier wear a stout woollen fiannel abdominal compress, and immediately the fatality diminished more than fifty per cent. If the teader will try it, even in cases of common looseness of bowels, he will generally find the most grateful and instantaneous relief. Tue second indication of instinct is to quench the thirst. When the disease vow called cholera first made its appearanee in the United Sta‘es, in 1832, it was generally believed that the drinking of cold water, soon after calomel was taken, would certain- Cause salivation; and, as calomel was usually , cold water was strictly interdicted. Some of most heart-rending ap; T have ever noticed SF water, water! I mae Begone patient, with deathly eagerness, mou‘ e finger-ends the nurse, ter the sake of a drop or two of cold wa- ter there while washing the face. There are two ways ‘of quenching this thirst—o>ld water and ice. Cc eben cba Nea a varpio of ata vA op- pression, not always sat ig; at other times the stomach ia so very irritable, that it is ejested in moment. Ice does not give that unpleasant fal- ness, bor does it increase the thirst, as cold water sometimes does, while the quantity required is very reduced. The first step, then, to be taken where cholera prevails and its Lg are present, is :— To lie down on a bed. 2d. Bind the abdomen tightly with woollen flan- nel, 3d. eg pellets of ice to the fullest extent | practicable. . Send for an established, resident, regular Touch not an atom of the thousand by brains as “simple” as the re- medics are represented to be, but wait quietly and patiently anti) the arrival of your medical at- tendant. But many of my readers may be in a condition, by distance or other wise, where it is not possible to | jin a physician for several hours, and where sucha delay might prove fatal. Under such cir- cumstances 0! ten grains of calomel, and make it into a pill with a few drops of cold water; dry it a little by the fire or in the sun, and swallow it down. If the passages do not cease within two hoars, then swallow two more of said pills, and con- tinue to swallow two more at the end of each two hours until the bowels cease to give their light-vo- loved passages, or until the physician arrives. Norpvrrari, on Ramses iv IceLanp, By Puyy Mytes.--C. B. Nortoy, Caampers Street.—There are so very few acceptable books in our language that give either an in- telligible or faithful account of that lonely islefof the North, which seems, as it were, placed beyond the pale of civilization, and which, yet atrange to say, possesses a civilization and a literature of its own, that we feel indebted to Mr. Miles for the graphic and interesting de- scription that he has given us of the social characteristics and habits of this isolated peo- ple. The value of the work is enhanced by most of the sketches being dashed off on the spot, and they therefore bear an impress of truth and vitality, which a more careful and @laborated style would have, perhaps, failed to convey. The following will interest the sports- maa:— My ride along the banks of the Thiorsa, befo: detour to the south coast, near the ‘Weetmann ‘Isands, was a pleasant one. The little n, turf- colored hillocks—not appearing much like houses, thongh they were so—gave an air of solitude to th *tust but few civilized countries M4 ‘The air was vocal with birds, that constantly flew ab ut us, The mournfal note of the plover, and the ~(. scream of the curlew, were constantly heard, a> they rested on the signal-cairna a the wayside, o ee towards 4 iy Pace birds, as eet ae gan, are quite tifal in I Jed, and reckoned aa gamne birks. : si -\ man could travel through Iceland in the sum- ne, ¢ &@ gan, a few loaves of bread, some tea, coffee, and sugar, get plenty of milk and cream at the farmers’ houses, and shoot oad enough for bis meat, without onve leaving his horse. Some migh: not consider it a great luxury, after a hard day's ride, to sit down to a banquet of roasted raven, & trice seed hawk, or a broiled sea gull; but it would be @ iv c8 good as the buzzard soup that Prince Avh ily Moat usd te get in Flo:ida, Some nic futerior are large Bonde ot tay the missionary, saw A ene juite near him before to retreat, and bive foxes, seals, and sometimes an im- portation of white bears from Greenland, who not unfrequently float over on fields of ice, might afford @ little sport, and perhaps profit, but would be | rather tough eating. I, however, carried no arms, except the “pickers and stealers” that Dame Nature furnished me; e0 I did not ik to the birds in the loud tones of villanous saltpetre. I have had my muderous propensities—nurtured when a id, by re crows and squirrels—the moat excit here, in Iceland, by some old ravens, who seemed to me to act with a very. unbeco familiarity. These birds were sacred to Odin, and I believe the Icelanders never molest them. Odin had two; one for memory, and the other for uews. They used to fly abroad during the day and return at night, right shoulder, and the other on his left, and relate to him everything that was goirg on, at the same time relreshieg his memory in regard to past events. The old Scandi- navians never used to make a voyage, or go a jour- ney, without them. Floki, a Norwegian pirate, one of the first settlers of Iceland, took three of them with him when he started on his voyage, taking them as pilots, to show him the way. After get- ting some distance beyond the Faroe Islands, he let off one, and he returned to Faroe. Sailing awhile longer, he sent off another; and, after a wide circuit in the air, he returned to the e's erg 3 some days more he} released the third, and he flew away to the northwest. Follow- | ing him, he soon reached the coast of Iceland. | There eeems to be a pair of those birds liviag near | almost every honse in Iceland. I have never seen a | church, with a house near by, where there was uot a pairof ravens. They seem to be a much larger bird here, than any o! the kind that I ever saw io America. At the little church and farmhouse of Uaukadalr, near the Geysers, were two; and they ould often alight on the chuych, and sometimes on a gate post but a few feet from me. One of them showed a great aversion to Nero, and would some- times swoop down and nearly hit the dog’s head. Believing bim to be nothing but a heathen, I had a most Christign wish tosend a bullet through bim. But ny Col®s pistol was far away, his black ravensbip could worship Odin, Thom OPany other detty be pleased. se If these birds are not Christians, there is one ex- cure for them. They are very loog lived, and, per- haps, having a distinct recollection that some of the buildings now used as places of worship, were built and used for worship during the days of idola- try and heathenism, they have been unconscious of the introduction of Christianity. The ravens here have the same costume as in other countries, dreas- ing in the “inky cloak,” and “customary suits of solemn black.” Their language, too, always being uttered in slow and solemn tones, adds to their ap- pearance of gravity and wisdom. Macparen Heprurn—A Srory oF THE Scorrisn Rerormation.—We have here a well- told story of a period dear to all lovers of liberty, when the labors of Knox and his fellow reformers broke down the despotism of the Ro- mish Church and emancipated the great masses of mankind from its chains. The heroine is the betrothed of a favorite disciple of the great apostle of religious freedom, and the stirring public events of the epoch are made to chequer “the course of their true love” and to furnish the incidents of an interesting tale. The fol- lowing is a well-described picture of those troublous times:— The May sunshine lies warm and bright upon the fertile shire of Ayr. The little gardens white with blossoms, the hedgerows fragrant with hawthorn, the whole country dewy and ful of odors, refresh the soul of the wayfarer. But peace, and the fair romize of peace, which lies so softly on hill and ield, has little piace in the minda of those who tra- vel by these verdant roads. “First pure, then peaceable,” says their faith, and the first has to be reached, whatever the cost may be. The paths are glistening with ane rly shower, and the leaves ied and twinkle between the soft wind that is abroad and the genial May sun. Myles Ripe can ee by every Pigg = lane, le gentlemen are gathering to the gray and hamble charch which stands within this reve- rent enclosure of graves.

The church is low and dark, with heavy rounded arches and be of great thickness, and here and there the dim blazonry of an antique coat of arms placed above an arch, or asepulchral effigy inthe gloom of the upper corners, give a sombre historical ornamentation to those bare cold walls.

A graye and dignified man, standing on the chan- cel steps, reads from a paper in his hand. His black doublet and hose, his close skull cap and bonnet of black stuff, and his falling band, proclaim the un- armed man a preacher of the reformation. Placed at either side of him, but on a lower step, two gen- tlemen of bolder bearing guard the man of peace. | One, of a fiery and vehement countenance, fixes his ‘ eyes and his attention eagerly on the reader, and | bites his lip as he proceeds; the other, to whom this letter either is familiar or indifferent, tarns his regard towards the assembled company, and eagerly exami their ct and bearing.

Naw Yoax, July 21, 1854. Dear CounTaYMeN—To you who are separated | and scattered in the most remote parte of this great continent, and who are deprived of all facilities of receiving any thing like correct news, or of commu- nicating with us in regard to our country and the present sfate of affairs in Europe, we appeal in the name of all our compatriots in Europe, awaiting with the most anxious hopes the probable resurrec- tion of our beloved and unhappy country, Poland, to be ready and listen to that sound of freedom which should join all her patriotic sons as one, on her native bosom. The news which likely reached you at first of the formation of the Polish Legion in Turkey, under their national standard, has failed, in consequence of the intrigues and interference of the allied Powers, (baving now Austria with them.) It seems they have been warned of the conse juence of organizing snch a force—they knew well that this was a certain match which would light the shell that would likely blow out the brains of those in the East as well of those belonging tothe West. They knew thatit is very easy to mount the Poles, but not easy to dismount them, avd for that very reason they refuse to act, and persuade the Porte accordingly. They admit that we were ready for the chance amidst the chaos aad confusion in the East: but at the same time we never gave them much credit for any good inten- tions. Moreover, long experience has Li ey us well, not to trast ourselves, or to have any faith in royalty. And besides, what can we expect from those crowned heads and those lords whose only continual aim is to sustain their dynastic righta and exclusive privileges by keeping armies at the expense of the poor people? As for the sacrifices they make under the pretext of maintaining the inde- pendence of the human empire and balance of pow- er, we shall see that by and by. Such sacrifices and such piety do us no good—such independence as they mean would .not make the op people of the Octoman empire any happier. This does not agree ths our idea of independence and of universal rty. Wehave, however, reason to believe that we shall build that mighty tower of freedom and human in- dependence; moreover that its foundstions have already been laid by our forefathers, with the solemn and mighty sight of martyr graves around it, as an inducement to their sons to sustain their rights and avenge their wrongs. We shall fight our own battles, as we ever did, without ling for sympathy and help from kings and lords. We shall trast our heads no more in the lion’s mouth. We shall appeal this time to God alone, and to his wisdom andmercy we shall leave the destiny of Poland. We shall not cease to pray to Him to unite our hearts and Iie pe together, and to deliver us from the hands of our enemies; and, thus protected, we shall once more ra)ly around the eagles and ban- pers of our native |. Live, then, in hope—be ready— but do not leave your present occupations— do not be deceivied by false alarms, and await until yas from us nga. and liberty N. B.—It is some months past since we notified you of our plan to raise morey by subscription for the cause of Poland, but up to this time nothing has a done. However, we attend to it in proper ime, We also give you thé rules adopted for such aub- scriptions :—To collect fands forthe cause of Po- land, and in the name of the whole politcal body of exiles,jonly one central power in London is authori- zed.

J bac no acquaintance with St. Clair, and knew nothing of his generat character; I do not know of St. Clair taking provisions into the city, except that when leaving the ship he pulled the shore. I recollect hearing that he had offered Purser Gulick a bribe, but do not kaow who told me 80. Cross-examination by the accused—I have no knowledge that St. Cluir employed more than one boat; the usual way of landing provisions was in a boat; I wason shore the morning Fisher landed, ‘and heard him boast of having escaped from Coe, with the Enigma, and that bis guns wefe ahotted; there were frequent disputes in the ward room about the treason of Coe, and several officers said they knew of no reason themselves to believe it, but from the reports they had heard Ithink no one doubted it; I heard that Canfield took provisions into the city, but do not know what connection there was between him and Mr. Rudleton; St. ood many vessels in.the harbor, inclaudiag some merican ships; I sent, on several occasions, provisions to families on shore; several other offi- cers did the same; St. Clair also supplied the Ameri- can residents with provisions. The witness bere closed his testimony. 4 facilitate the proceedings a number of wit- nesees were sworn & body, and listened to the of the charges aad specifications, so as to avoid the repetition of this document to each seve- rally. Their names are Lieut. Charles Deas; mid- shipmen, Wm. H. Cheever and Henry A. Adams ; Doatawain, Charles Woodland ; carpenter, John Jarvis; eae Jas. H. Woodward.

Questions by the accused—I told the captain that we had caulked as far down as could be done at Buenos Ayres; I told the captain that her oakum was getting wet, and the ship should be caulked to keep the water out; much of it was taken out when we re-caulked. The witness was here dismiased, and the Presi- dent announced that the thermometer was at 102 degrees, and he declared the court adjourned. Murper.—We have learned from Marshall Springer of the most ontragesus murder, committed in the vicinity of Waterville, in this county, on Tuesday night. The circumstances, as we them, were os follows:—Three canal boats were ing yy driver of the first boat put a knife into and threatened to kill any driver that the canal in company.
