(Signed) GEO. wOODFIN
The nerments for the last "a hours ending on wcdnes-
DAY at noon are tue short OF what they during the
previous 2I hours. They 30-for though they
only stated above at 90 yet they in reality 30Du
ring the "a hours to Wednesday noon they were 25 viz
white and 20 colored.
Before we proceed further we hasten to correct
an error into which we were betrayed in last
paper We stated the number of deaths i'm the
Aims House at 22-Mr Woodfin informs us this is y
mistake. The actual number of deaths at the Poor
House is only z, to ~ o'clock Wednesday. We
have taken the whole number ofpaupers, viz: those
who are supported ont of the public funds, in the
city, as well as those who lived i'm the Poor House.
The actual number of paupers who had died of the
disease from its commencement up TO Wednesday
10 o'clock, is, according to Mr.. WIS statement 43-
viz: IL whites and 81 colored-7 at the Poor House,
and the remainder in other parts of the city.
Our readers will perceive that i'm the absence of
complete reports of the Physicians to the Board of
Health, we must rely upon the Hospital Reports and
the List OF MISUNDERSTANDING the reader again
10 recoect, that the interments include the deaths
from other complaints well as from the,Cholera.
The disease certainly ragged with great severity
on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday and Tues
day to o'clock, there had been 50 intermens, viz
l3 whites, and 80 colOred perSons-43 of the paul
pers had died to Wednesday Moons of Capt Boil
lng's company of the Public Guard and also wife
to one of the deceased soldiers-and or 6 cases
left. But, TO Wednesday, noon, the intermens we're
short of what they had been from Mon ay to
Tuesday noon-and there had been no neiO case
among the Public Guard, and the sick there were
rather mending.
Among those whom this terrible disease has pros
trated, 1t gives us pain to register the of Mr..
John Bosher house builder of this city, citizen of
fine sense and many virtues-two fine children of
Richard Crouch, Esq.--Capt VIM. Golf, highly
respectable citizen of HancheSter-Mr. VIM. Candy,
at RutherfooTdS Mills, amiable citizen of Penn
sylyaniaMrs. Probst, the wife of Mr.. Henry Probst
of this city, who but the week before had lost their
son with the same malady-Mrs Phepoe Millinery

Most Of the colored people were either stricken in
years, or Incorporate, mprudent in diet expo
sure: Several we have heard of who were wetted
/ i'm the rain on Monday.
! We shall add by way of Postscript the Report
that TO be made to yesterday noon. Ii rained
yesterday slightly, and the atmosphere and Earth are
both very damp. So that unless there be due care
shown, we fear that the number of victims may be
increased but we sincerely trust that by our mex
No. we may be able to announce that the Cholera i:
decidedly upon the decline in our afflicted city.
