The mortality still falls principally upon the poor blacks. The habits of our colored population, [partienlarly the free, their indiscreet exposure, and to their diet, lay them open to the shaft of the destroyer. We fear, too, that many of the free people of col or are actually perishing on account of the unfortunate and unfounded preju- dice they have contracted towards the City Hospitals. if they could be pre- vailed upon to take refuge in those es- tablishnents. where they would be we'll fed, well nursed, and well attended by humane and skilful physicians, several lives might be spared.
 Washington, Oct. I've rejoice that Baltimore is relieved from the cholera. Our own city, the board of health has announced to be free from fl as an epi- demic.- Globe.
 Ihe Cholera.-We regretto state that this fearful disease has made it's appear anee at Roekport, Cuyahoga county, about eight or nine miles from Cleave- land, in the family of Mir. Cunning ham. On the morning of the 20th ut. all the members breakfasted together ili usual health. Before the rising of an- other sun, four of them had been sum- moned 10 eternity. 4 fifth soon follow ed; and two others were lying in a hopeless state at the latest dates. The head of the family, who had just return ed from New ' ork, was the tirstattack- ed, and is believed to be on the reeove- ry. His wife, three children, and d relative Of his, are dead.-Chio Stote Journal.
 Providence, R. sa. 2s.-Another case has occurred in fhis city, as may be seen by the cholera report, since yesterday 3.-Ionr.
 The New York Journal of Commerce, after naming many of the most esteem cd and prominent citizens of New ! ork, who have died from cholera the past season, says: " In more private life, many estimable citizens have fallen, and we must add also, in Eaithfnlness to truth, many of very different des criptop. Ne believe the amount Of moral corruption in the city is percepti- bly diminished in consequence Of this awful visitation. The shafts of death have fallen thickest among the hannts of lnlquity, but enough of the sober, respectable, and even religious mem bers of the community have been re- moved, to repress any feeling of phari- saistln which might have crept in, while at the same time the impression is in- delible, that the victims of intempe- rance and seasuality are pre-eminentIy the objects sought out by this strange disease. Happily it is nearly extinct with us at present, and we pray God It may never return.
 1he Cholera in. Hagers tozrn.--vVe doubt whether there is q city, town, or village in the United States, that the cholera has visited, in which such panic has been created as in Hagers. town, (Md.) The people are in fact almost beside themselves, and so much are the major part of them alarmed, that even at the sight of coffin they will leave the streets and shut them selves up. Within the last week, how many cases have happened, we cannot tell, but this VIC know, there have been 3 deaths, and whether they are all by cholera or not we are unable 10 say.--
 Three of the number were citizens:- Mir. Cron, Mr. Watts, and Mrs. Pichet. And 10 the shame of our citizens, he it said, scarcely could single individual be found who would be willing to per form the necessary duties preparatory to burlai--in fact, Mir. Croft, man much respected, and who has been an inhabitant of the town for the last 70 years, lay in bed as he died, from 10 o'clock In the morning until in the evc- hing, when he was unceremoniously wrapped in sheet, rolled into the cof. tn, and carried to tho grave, with scarcely enough people to commit his remains to the mother earth.
 We shall notice one other case, that of man in the hospital, who, we are informed, was suffered 10 lie by himself during the night, without any attend ant whatever, and breathe out his last sad aeonies. The first person that wis tied the hospital in the morning, found him lying on the floor, dead
 We should ask what is the duty of the board of health? and for what have they built a hospital? Is it for the .ssick, wayfaringD man to recruit his health and strength? or was it merely T
