CIhOLE IL A.

The following hints upon the cause of this
disease are very interesting, and we hope
will lead our sapdns TO investigate the mat
ter more maturely and closely upon this
basis
CHEMICAL CHOLERA -DATA FOR INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. Grascll, who has a chemical laboratory in the
eastern part OF the city and manufactures large guam
titles OF suphnrc acid, has observed an unusual phe
nomenon during the past two three weeks in rela-
ton to this manufacture. We will remark, that Mr..
Graseli is OF the most competent and successful
practical chemists in the United States, and of great
experience. Until recent date he has had no Diff
entity in making sulphiric acid--and that difficulty
vanished day or two ago without any apparent
cause.
In the process, the sulphur is placed in a leaden
ROOM so to speak, and TO the atmospheric air,
from eight TO per cent OF oxygen is added, which
answers the purpose. The usual proportions Tor a
few weeks past failed, and Mr.. Graselli, snpposng
aome of the workmen had been careless tricky, at
tended TO the matter himself, and satisfied the
work was natural and not artificial For two three
DAYS last past, however, the old and usual condition
Of natural chemical aniles and proportions has re-
turned and affairs 20 as before.
Now ii is known, that air is composed oil variety
of gases not chemically combined hut Mixed and that
circumstances vary the proportions The inference is
that the air underwent change few weeks ago
fabout the time Cholera commenced) that there was
less oxygen than common and more carbonc acid gas
which produced the effect referred to-but that, with
in day or two, the proportions have again beer
changed, Che Cholera has sensibly abatcd) and
healthy condition now exists
We know very little OF chemistry and may not hav,
spoken scientifically, hut think the Iacts hypothe
sis, and case set forth sufficiently clear to enable
competent person to investigate the subject theor-
ze upon IL, IL desirous OF doing II there be an,
such we should be pleased to hear from them Gin

NAILED TO THE COUNTER. General Taylor has
been greatly bel!ed by the opposition press, who
present him merely making one Of his cabinet,
and putting himself on level with them, by voting
with them on important questions.
You may be assured that this is a Locofoco insin-
uaon the whole history OF Gen. Taylors life his
character and his well known acts in times of diff
Guilty forbid the belief of such an asperson. He is
fully conscious of his position, he knows that he and
not his cabinet elected by the people TO execute
did on the Rio Grande. II is really astonishing that
his well known characteristics should be for
gotten by those who the first to behold in them
the materials fit to form the head OF the government
Gen Taylor is more president Than ever Gen
Jackson was, for he is the slave Of his preIu
dices or his passions and hesutes little to take
the responsibility when he deems il necessary. We
know what he was commander in the field, and
you may be that he is not very different in the
clbnet-.N. Y Mirror.

ONE c asE REPORTED IN BALTIMORE We announce
under our obituary head, the death Of Mr.. Omdorh
a flour merchant Of this city, who died carly this
morning, after sudden attack Of sickness, which the
attending physicians have reported TO the Health Office
TO be cholera. MIR. orndot in his usual health
yesterday, and the attack is supposed to have been
brought on by his having eaten some raw oysters,
which he purchased from cart that passing his
house in Lombard street, yesterday morning, Short
ly after partang Of them, he was attacked with
we're darrhra, and physicians were called in. Drs.
Handy, Baer, Kemp and Bond were in attend
ancc, and under their hands he received all that med
cal skill could do Tor him. The symptoms were
those OF decided case OF cboleraseverc diarrh,ea
collapse and severe pain He died early this morning
Mr. Orndo,h was OF most respectable and
exemplary citizens whose habits and associations
were altogether free from those which usually, IL is
supposed invite attacks from this dreadful disease
lie was, however, not oil robust health, and had Tor
some years suffered from imperfect indigestion STILL
when such men he, fall victim 10 cholra no one
can claim security against it.
The attending physicians, properly regarding their
responsibility TO the public and to their profession,
have promptly reported the TO the city authori
ties as ono OF cholera They have done 80 that no
one may rest under fase security, that the cause
of the disease not present. or that the precautions
guard against Its attacks may with safety be long
or delayed.
The recent sudden change in the weather and the
rain storm, which has kept the city under cloud Tor
nearly week, may have much TO do, In melting the
disease Now, that the sky Is again clear and the
weather once more seasonnble and pleasant, we may
take hope that the health Of the city win be improv-
| ed f not entirely restored.
But whilst there s nothing In the fact OF isola-
ted case OF cholera appearing among us, under the
peculiar circumstances OF such change in the
weather aswo had, TO excite alarm, we are admon-
ished by II, that cannot be too careful in our
habits, or too cautious and temperate In what we
cat and what we drink To some indiscrelion or
imprudence in these regards, almost every case of
cholera may be traced; especially when Il occurs
among those whose mode Of life Is such not to in
