CHOLERA IN SANDIJSKy

The Buffalo Commercial OF the 9Th, SAYS 1t
seems that the announcement of the disappear.
ance OF the cholera from Sandusky city, was pre- .
mature, at least. The Clarion of Monday gives
formidable list Of deaths on that day and the day
hIevious, which shows, that though the disease
Y be somewhat dbated, yet the mortality is
large.
The visitation at Sandusky it is we'll known has
been unusually severe. Out of population of
nearly 5000, three fourths have died or fed. and
OF those who fled great numbers were struck
down with the disease, in the places to which
they had escaped. A letter from citizen OF the
town, says in one small village, an ark OF safety
it was supposed, scarcely one Of the etugees es
capped. The same letter gives an account OF the
rise and progress Of the epidemic.
"The inquiry is so general what may be III e
producing causes OF so terrible visitation as has
marked this Inflated place, justice to all interest
ed requires word or two explanations Justice TO
the living and the dead. Few places have been
more highly favored than Sandusky. for general
health. 1T was one of the last spots where any
marked fatality would have been expected from
the prevailing epidemic. The locality is indeed
remarkable. Founded upon rock, washed by
the waters of one Of the finest inland bays on the
continent, and backed by country Of oak bar.
rens, it appears as if everything combined to ex.
emPt il from large share OF the local ills that
flesh is heir to. 2&s#
What then is the cause A single narrative
will explainit. The week ending Saturday July
the 2lst, commences the record. The railroad
train introduced the. first cases. On Friday, it's
character became pretty decided. Those attack
ed were mostly temperate livers, but Of weak
constitutional habits--they were rapidly disposed
OF. On Sunday, il assumed decided malignant
type Monday opened darkIy. And now ensu
ed scene which no pen COLD describe, nor ey,
en- the imagination conceive. A regular stam-
pede commenced. Friends, family, property,
we're alike deserted On Tuesday, there was
perfect rusIfor the boats up and down. Fifteen
hundred persons, it is estimated, left town on this
and the previous evening. BY mid week. the
population had dwindled down one hall. Imagine
the consterna'ion-the dread! The desoate
houses-the closed shops-the sea thy lad OF
those who ventured abroad, unnersed the strong.
est--was death to the weak 5l F1Is'
The same writer attributes much of the fatal.
ty to this panic which led to the deserto,l OF The
sick. II was not till the physicians and nurses
came In from Cincinnati and Cleveland. that the
disease began TO abate. Three physicians and
three ciergymen had died.

NJ The New York Courier mentions the singular
fact that the City Prison. in The midst Of the 6lthest pop
uIatlon OF the city, where the disease has ragged all
around it, and the prison itself in low unhealthy Sit
uation with cellar has thus far escaped the chol.
era. II says even If the prison located on high
ground the atmosphere generated from such host Of
pest houses, around IT, might be expected 10 the
disease prevail within its walls. Besides all these dis.
advantageous circumstances it will be remembered that
large portion Of the prisoners taken from the worst

ceived from Harrisburg: srs
There is reason to believe that an armed expe-
ditlon is about TO be fitted out IN the United
States, with the intention to invade the Island of
Cuba, or some of the provinces of Mexico. and.
from the best information which the Executive
has been able to obtain, points to the island Of
Cuba, as the object OF this expedition. tits the
duty OF the Governn ent to observe the faith Of
treaties, and prevent any aggression by our eli.
zens upon territories OF friendly nations. have.
therefore. thought it necessary and proper TO issue
this proclamation, to warn all citizens of the Uni.
ted States, who shall connect themselves with an
enterprise so grossly iRvioaton OF our treaty. OBJ
legations, that they will thereby subject the m.
serves TO the heavy penalty pronounced against
them by our acts OF Congress, and will forfeit
their Claims TO the protection OF their country.
NO such persons must expect the interference Of
rs Governmentin any form in their behalf no
matter to what extremities they may be reduced
in consequence OF their conduct. An enterprise
to invade territories OF friendly nations, set on foot
and prosecuted within the limits OF the Unite
States, is in the highest degree criminal, as
tending to endanger peace and compromise the
honor OF this nation: and /, therefore, expect all
good citizens, as they regard national reputa.
tion, as they respect their owl laws and the law
OF nations, as they value the blessings of peace
and the welfare OF the country, to discourage aud
prevent, by all lawful means, any such enter
prise. And call upon every officer Of this { ov.
