I TIE CHoLEEA.-0ur accounts from
the West represent this terrible disease as
still adding to its numerous victims.
The Nashville Banner, Of the 2sth
May, informs US of its temperance there
in the following paragraph:-yNa lat.
| The Cholera this destructive COM
plant appeared among our citizens yester-
day win renewed violence, and more
tnan ordinary malIgnity There were, we
understand, about twenty cases in the
day, seven OF which proved fatal We
have heard Of only one new ease this
morning.
The suddenness Of the temperance of
the disease, and the violence Of its .ymp-
toms requiring all the attention OF the ia
Guilty, prevented an accurate report Of
details, but we are assured from good au-
tborIty, that the above is not far from the
truth. 1t does not, at any rate, exagerate
the matter.
From the same paper Of Tie 9Oih
i HE Chotera.-Ibis disease, which broke
out upon US with such uncommon fatility
on Tuesday last, has much abated. both
in number and in the strength of its at
tacks. There were, we understand. but
SIX or seven cases yesterday, and among
them we have heard Of but one death.
Some cases are said to have occurred in
the country.
Prudence in diet, avoiding improper en-
posure, and above all prompt attention to
the slightest arrangement Of the system
will, we trust, check the progress OF tho
disease

to day, though we have spared no exer-
tons to enable US to do so. We hope in
our next 10 be able to report from an Of
fetal source. We have no desire-we
can have no rational motive for desiring
to mlslead those at a distance on this sub
Ject. As nearly, therefore, as we can as
certain, there were seven or eight fatal
cases yesterday, and the number to day
will not Hall short OF that yesterday On
"Wednesday we stated the number ofcases
on the day previous to have been twenty
since which the daily number, we are
confident, has considerably increased
Swelling the cases now under treatment to
a large amount. We may, however, OBJ
serve that the deaths do not by any means
bear SO great proportion to the whole
number Of cases as has been usual IN
most other places.
We have no direct accounts from Lex
ingtoD, or any other of the Western cities
or towns revisited by the Cholera, Of la
ter date than those already published. The
following indirect information from Lex
ington, is from the Louisville Herald of
June l4th:
CHoLERA.-We have letter from our
correspondent at Lexington. dated on the
evening ofthe I2th. He says "there seems
to bs an abatement of Cholera 10 day.
Capt. John Postlethwait, and MIR. and
Mrs. Dumestnil, died this morning, and
General Bodley yesterday, besides many
others, white and black" So numerous
are the deaths. and so alarming is The dis
ease, that 1t Is with the greatest difficulty
boxes can be obtained 1t is even difficult
to get graves dug, and sometimes ten or
twelve bodies have been waiting for graves.
The dead are carried most frequently in
carts and without attendants; often no one
but the driver

Lexington. June IL.
IL do assure you we have seen and
heard enough since wrote you, two days
since, to strike terror 10 the strongest
nerve-eveD the Physicians wore such aw-
full countenances, that it was enough 10
coniound and teFrify the weak and timid.
Nearly all the Physicians are completely
PROSTATE, and many Of them now in bed
- surely there never has been such NOR
tality in any place of the same number Of
inhabitants. Since nine or ten O'Clock
this morning, it is admitted by every one
almost, that the disease is subsding; and
since that time until the present, say o.
clock, Z. NJ, do not think there has
been single new case, Il mean a violent
one.) There are but few left in the place
to leave it, nearly all that could go to the
country have been gone some days, many
tof whom have died. There are not
enough well persons left to take care of
the convalescent and inter the dead. [
have been told there were twelve or four
teen unlnterred at one time this morning,
at one OF the grave yards. 1t is useless
for any one to attempt to guess how many
have fallen. Three hundred would proba-
IDLY be a reasonable computation. On
yesterday and to. day it has been impossi-
BILE TO get collins or rough boxes made
sufficiently to put them away"
