The Cholera In the south and West.


HEALTH OF N. ORLEANs-Th weather yesterday
again became damp, and lost much of that
bracipg character which 1t had assumed during
the previous "a hours The "skiey Influences" at
all times eccentric during the winter in New Or
leans, have been lately more than usually variable;
In tact, 1t would he difficult for the meteoIo ogist
to follow the march OF mind and Gather, so as to
exhibit any thing hike regular series of tables to
mark correctly their fluctuations. For an index to
the state OF the health OF the city, we do not think
we can do better than to point to the report OF the
Charity Hospital, and the returns from the ceme-
teTl,s. Perhaps 1t would be idle and pr0titless 10
cholera will wear TO. morrow; like all other eplde
mics, we pres it VIII ,un Its course, and hence,
we may dellve this negative consolation, that the
lapse OF each day brings us nearer to Its end.

GEORGE w. REEDER.-This gentleman, so well

time connected with this paper, and his contri-
buttons were much admired and copied He pos.
ttssed line fund OF humor, happy wit, great

temperament. In disposition, he was liberal and
confding. His heart was full OF kindness and
generosity--hls sympathies were ever ready In
behalf of objects Of suffering and distress. Poor
George lew hours before his death, his ready
wit spoIted with the terrors OF the pestilence,
bis ssngume dlspositlon treated its proach with
Indifference. The sudden death of a younger
brother checked tho confidence, and ere the
corpse OF that brother was consigned to the tomb,
he himself was seized with cholera, and died in
fw houfs His death was not unlamented for all
