CHOLERA IN New ORLEANs.-The
Louisville Courier learns that son ot
Gen. Lane, while walking on the Levee
at New Orleans, recently, apparently IN
excellent health, was attacked suddenly by
Cholera, and died in less than an hour.
A death, equally as sudden, is said 10
have occurred on board the Peyiona.
A friend writing us from New Orleans
under date of the 55th ult., states that ten
thousand persons had been driven from
that city, by the presence of the epidemic
and that business and amusements were
almost entirely suspended.
The Habaneros have become alarmed
and vessels bound thiikerward are placed
under the severest quarantine.

COL. HAYS.

The report that Col. Hays &
his command had been cut to
pieces, was unfounded. The
Galvestan News has a letter
from Port Lavaea, stating that
Col. Hays has returned from
Chihuahua, andsreports most
favorably of his expedition. lie
says the people of Chihuahua
are anxious to have the road
from San Antonio TO that place
established, and that they were
ready to subscribe largely for
such purpose.
