It blew stronger, snd the veil seemed to move; every one onthe farin was at that time out striving to subdue, or at least change the course of the dea troyer; their great hope, however, lay in a emal! creek whose muddy waters intervened, and which had some time before been of signal service on a ai- milar occasion. “To that,” said Mr. J., and the tears mond in his eyes, ‘and to the merey of God, we owe our lives.

Since my last advices the cholera has committed fearful ravages in this place, confined however, ag yet, to the blacks and lower classes of the popula- tion. Estates are suffering severely among their hands, many having already lost sufficient to very seriously interfere with the future crops, or keeping the properties in order. In no country have I seen this epidemic so sum- mary in ita effects; it appears more like the plague than anything else; it is resisting and setting at de- fiance nearly all known medical treatment. I have myself lost three of my most valuable servants, who, in a few hours, despite of the most carefal treatment, fell victims. A single hour, in many instances, has finished the march. No abatement in its fearful course is yet apparent; and should it long continue, Heaven only knows the end. Locations and residences from their partially elevated, cool and airy situations, and which have hitherto been deemed veculiarly healthy, have been found far more severely attacked than those upon the low grounds. ae all the rietors of estates have aban- doned them, and in two instances estates have been jound without a white man upon them—a most cri- minal desertion.

MONEY MARKET. Toxspay, Aug. 19—6 P. M. There was a little more activity to-day in certain leading railroad stocks, withcut any improvement in prices. The bears are large buyers, and it is this demand for stocks that sustains the market. This, however, can only be temporary. As the shorts buy in for delivery, stocks go into weak hands, or rather pass through the hands of parties unable to hold. The supply is not, therefore, redaced, nor prices benefitted, but for the moment. At the first board to-day New York Centra! Railroad fell off 4 percent; Reading Railroad, }. Cleveland and To- ledo Railroad advanced { per cent; Galena and Chicago, 4; Illinois Central Railroad, 4. Mlinois Central Railroad privilege sold this morning at 1114 per cent. Western railroad stocks generally were not #0 freely offered to-day, and prices were stiffer. La Crosse and Milwaukie Railroad sold at 68 a 684 per cent, and Milwaukie and Missiseippi at 764 percent. These stocks are taken in smail lots, as offered, by outside parties for investment. The purchases of La Crosse and Milwaukie Railroad stocks are made by members of our largest jobbing houses, who, in their business tours through Wiscon- sin, have opportunities for forming an opinion rela- tive to the productiveness of a new road superior to any other class of moneyed men. The orders for this stock have come from this source, and it is likely to absorb a good portion of the capital. In this way it will soon become well distributed. The depression in Galena and Chicago and hilwaukie and Missiasippi railroad stocks must attract a new class of buyers. Very little cash stoek of either road is sold, the operations being principally on time, sellers trusting to a greater depression in the market for their profits. Sales om time, buyer's or seller's option, may do well enough in a stock where the supply is unlimited, and no cornering operations are going on; but ina stock like the Galena and Chicago, where fifty-five thousand shares are dis- tribute mong twelve hundred holders, it may be difficult t what may be required for delivery on mata tracts without paying much higher prices for it. It ia the broker’s usiness to take these risks, but outside speculators, who may be disposed to operate as sellers, had better take hold of the most worthless stocks , where the supply, under. almost any circumstances, is always equal to the de- mand. At the second board the market was @ shade or two better. The transactions wese not large. After the board better prices ruled, but there was no ac- tivity. Michigan Southern closed at 88 per cent cash; Reading, at 86 per cent; Erie, 59}. The steamship Asia, from this port for Liverpool to- morrow, (Wednesday,) will take ont about $500,000 in gold, and the Arago from this port for Southampton and Havre on Saturday, will take out as mach more. The sub-Treasury gained about $100,000 yes- terday, and about the same amount to-day. ‘The Buffalo Advertiser — We learn thatthe New Yor}: and Erie Railroad has leaged the Elmira and Ca: road, and the Canat daigua and N! a Falis road... a term of .
