For many months past the public journals OF Eu-
rope have teemed with accounts of the progress and
fatality of Influenza, La Grippe 1t appears to
have been equally fatal with the cholera Medicine

accounts of its having reached New orleans, a iac'
not SO remarkable when reflect on the general &C.
centric character Of all epidemic disorders In looS
in spite of the constant intercourse between Europe
ana New York, the cholera first made its appearance
at Quebec and Montreal.
| Epdemcs do net always travel over the world IN
the most frequented routes. 1t battles CALCULATION,

the south.
Epidemcs that travel over Europe never iail topay
visit to this country The United States is part,
branch OF the system of civilization as Europe.
The same causes which produce epidemcs there,
are in existence here. Our habits, our climate, our
atmosphere are all assimilated. In former times,
the yellow fever was the scourge Of this country.
This was an Indigenous disorder produced bya GER
tain state Of theland culture, habits, and atmosphere
The changes of the last fifty years IN the facc OF the
country, by culture population, and labor have made
changes in climate and atmosphere. Our skyey IN

therefore, beings of the race and the same ha-
bits subject 10 the same influences, and the same
physical diseases.
On this theory, cholera, after spending It's honey
moon in Europe came here TO dance the fashionable
tour over the country for couple of years In Eu-
rope influenza as fatal cholera, has followed lis
steps. Let rs prepare therefore, IN time. During
the present commercial revulsion the agitated and
depressed state Of large classes of the people, will
facilitate the progress of the common enemy. Great
energy of mind is foe TO disease and epderaic- but
pros,raton of that energy brought on by any crisis
of commercial or political nature, clears the way for
the march of the terrible invader Meantime let eve
ry body be cheerful and temperate Take care OF
catching colds. Don't speculate in lots, cotton, or
Morris Canal stock. Sudden changes of temperature
are dangerous. Quit fnaneiering and take to farm
ing The summer is approaching, and with care,
temperance in eating and drinking-equanimlty OF
mind-avoidng all stock specuiatons-and with the
habits Of the s,rctest cleanliness, SO highly essential

Wall street press in producing the present disastrous
revulsion in commercial affairs. In this sketch we
shall show that every paper in Wall street has been
for several years past the separate agent Of parcu
lar coterie of spcculatorstha their whole course has
bsen corrupt and wicked only calculated to cheatant

of the Courier Express, Journal, and Times, have
only been used TO further the private land, stock,
