PANIC Struck .--Apparently, there
never was time when men acted so per-
fectly ridiculous, discovered so little firm
ness of nerve and mind and pursued a
course of conduct so little consonant with
reason and common sense, as at the pre-
sent We know the difficulty of allay-
ing apprehensions, and siencing fears
which come over the mind with involun-
tary power, but we have yet to learn
that the force of the Imagination and
functions of the mind, cannot, by de-
termincd and manly effort, be kept un-
der rational restraint and proper disci-
plinc. Many Of the citizens who leave
New ork, in defiance of reason, argu-
ments, experience and common sense,
believe that nothing can save them but
the most hasty, precipitate flight: moth
ing short of the mountains and the insd-
lated valleys will afford them the needed
protection, and they fly onward as ifthe
grim messenger only waited for mo-
mentary delay in their progress to thrust
his stiletto between their shoulderblades.
During the last week, the number of
passengers through this town up the
Valley, has been unprccedented; every
stage horse has been put in rcquisition
and our stage proprietors have incautious-
ly put lots of Cholera dollars from the
"infected district" into their pockets
Even Northampton, with its spacious
Hotels, saiubrous atmosphere and skill
ful medical men, is looked upon by some
ofthese panic struck feminine gentlemen,
as fall of contagion and death; away they

sensitive apprehensions! Truly, human
nature is weak, AMI man in his best es-
tate, but an Insignificant lamp of grovcl-
ling selfshness! We can only say, if
these poor terrified folks who are quarter
ing among our farmers all around the
country, have carried the seeds Of the
disease in their bosoms, and an exciting
cause happens to come over them to bring

n Il is the painful duty ofths Board to announce
"a that there were two cases of malignant
Cholera reported to this Board by the physicians
yesterday, both of which have since terminated
fatally.
: The circumstances Of which are, the slcop

passengers as aforesaid, who were from Albany,
via New-York, and found them extremely i'll at Il
house in Spring street-their symptoms were so a
nalogous to those Of the malignant Cholera, he
thought it his duty to report their situation imme-
diately to the Board; they were taken sick at
quarantine the night previous, after eating mpru-

The N. Y. Evening Post of Wednes

The N. Y. Evening Post of Wednes-
day last says:-"A large proportion of
our most respectable physicians have not
had single death from Cholera in their
practice, and we have been assured by
several, of very extensive practice, that
they have not known of single death
by cholera which could not be directly
traced either to intcmperancc or gross
imprudence. They all concur in saying
that, when the premonitory symptoms are
attended to, the disease is invariably
mild ard perfectly manageable. Such a
change, no doubt, has taken place in the
constitution of the atmosphere as prcdls-
poses all persons to diseases of the stom-
ach and intestincs; but this atmospheric
tendency is easily counte-acted by sim.
pie medicines, unless persons, by care
lcssness and delay, suffer the derange,
mcnt to become too extensive, the mala'
dy too firmly seated"

A letter from Moses Hart, supposed
Intcndant of Trois Rivicres, Lower Can

June 30, was communicated by the May
or. 1t was as follows:-
"THE CREAToR EMPLOYS SULPHUR TO

"Prerentire and cure for The asiatic
Cholera .Morbus.
"Take a teaspoon of sulphur in a lit
tie Molasses, three times week, and
wear birthstone.
"Burning Birthstone, in the open air,
will destroy the Cholera.
"When person is attacked, drink CO.
pously warm rain water, or water sui
phurated with the acid, or if neither arc
at hand, warm water, swectcncd:
"By this simple mode only two deaths
occurred in this Town, midway between

5000 have died, by taking brandy and
opium instead Of water, and burning tar
instead Of birthstone.

The following particulars of the death
of Capt. Rogers, are contained in a let
ter addressed to the Editors of the Jour
nal Of Commerce, by Henry G.. Vince
Ter, Esq Secretary OF the Squadron, at
the request ofthe officers:
United States ship Warren, of }
BUENos AyREs, May 26, 1882.
You will doubtless have received ere
this, the melancholy intelligence of the
death of the late Commander of the u.
S. squadron on this station, Com. GEORGE
WASHINGTON RoDGERs. He breathed
his last on board this ship, the morning
of the 2lst inst, after brief but severe
illness Of seven days.
The disease which ultimately termina-
ted his existence appeared at first to be
slowly but surely yielding to the unre-
hitting efforts OF his medical advisers
On the third day his case was unhesita-
tingly pronounced by them to be free
from danger, he conversed much and
cheerfully with those about him, and eve
ry lingering fear as to recovery vanished
before the strengthening voice and bright
ening eye of our lamented commander.
The following morning, however, mat
ters assumed Il gloomicr aspect. His
disease had returned on him with de-
stroying virulcnce that scofled at every
effort to arrest its progress; and he con-
tinued gradually declining till Sunday,
the Goth inst.
On that morning his medical atten-
dants intimated to him that it v ould be
well to arrange his affairs, inasmuch as
his earthly career was rapidly drawing to
close. The Commodore received this
announcement with unrepining calnness.
He expressed himself as bowing in hum
bic acquiescence to that Almighty Fiat
which had gone forth against him; and
after issuing few orders, and desiling
that his bones may be laid in Protestant
Episcopal Earth, he prepared himself to
meet the fast approaching King Of ter
rors with frmness and resignation. To
the latest moment Of his existence his
mental faculties were preserved to him,
bright and unclouded: so much so, in
oeeu, tlot, as TIC Su'iicii'S H'sts Va Aoi-
tai decay became deeper and darker a
round him, his thoughts and feelings fol
those whom he left behind, appeared tC
have assumed an almost unearthly inton'
sity. His eye failed not; and ifhis voice
faltered, it was only at moments when
| with startling forvency, he breathet
his suppliant CALCULATIONS to the throne o
mercy, in behalf Of "thc widow and tht
latherlcss.
| Between the hours of ten and clever
of the following morning, convinced tina
even then his spirit was fluttering to it
departure, he sent for all the officers o
the squadron to bid them farewell. On
by one he extended his hand to them, re
peating distinctly the name Of each OF
