THE CHOLERA.

Tho cholera continues to decrease in New York and in Brooklyn, but in Cincinnati and St. Louis and New Orleans it is raging with great yiolence. Last week, the deaths in St. Louis amounted to six hundred and forty-eight. The deaths in Cincinnati average about sventy & day, and in New Orleans about fifty. The cholera has also broken out in Richmond, but every effort is being made to keep it from spreading. At Tybee Island it is decreasing. The Board of Health of this city still continues to work" most energetically to keep the disease under, and are succeeding very well. Delegations from the various States are almost daily waiting upon President Johnson, to thank him for all that he has done and is doing to restore the Union. They all receive a kindly welcome, and the promise that he will not falter in the good work. The Fenian officers who made the raid upon Canada last June, will not be tried for violating the neutrality laws, the At-torney-General of the United States having ordered a nolle prosegui to be entered in their cases. " The excitement in Canada about the Fenians continues, and Canadian troops have been ordered to rendezvous at certain important points. It is feared by the Canadians that the great Fenian picnic which comes off at Buffalo, will end in another raid, and the Canadians are determined to be prepared for it. There is very little danger, however, of any raid taking place. The Canadians are needlessly scared. fjflGerrot Smith, one of- the Radical leaders, has recently published a letter, in which he expresses the opinion that another civil war is necessary and close upon us. He says : — " The war will break out again if suffrage is withheld from the black man. It will, in that case, break out in revenge upon the loyal whites of the South, in persecution of the blacks of the South, but too probably, on a much broader, if not indeed on a national scale. "In all probability our nation will learn no more of righteousness until she shall have drifted on to another breaking up. In all probability she must reach another bloody catastrophe before her sunken soul shall feel another upward impulse. Alas, that Congress, has, but too probably left it impossible for these fruits ever to be harvested. Alas, that its mistakes have, but too probably, rendered vain all this expenditure of blood and treasure ! The nation must pass through another season of sorrow ere it shall reach its season of joy Seed must again be sown in tears and blood ere this nation shall reap its harvest of salvation." Speaker Colfax has stated m a speech at Chicago, that " it is the determination of the Republican party to keep the Southern States out of the Union until they adopt nego suffrage." Senator Trumbull has also made a speech, declaring that negro suffrage is the aim and end of the Constitutional Amendment, and until this amendment has been adopted by the Southern States they cannot be allowed into the Union.
