The California fever is raging IN our city to an
alarming and Unprecedented extent. No epidemic
has ever spread hall SO rapidly as this contsglon
has done for some time past. Some days ago, we
had little cholera excitement, but the cholera
Is completely swallowed UP by this CALIFORNIA
panic. In fact, we do not know who among our
citizens have not felt its influence. The premonito-
ny symptoms are disturbed slumbefs, in which VI
intermnged with Jumps Of gold, bearing remote
connection with lerdly. palaces and princely do
main, which Is followed by what is here regarded
as an unmistakable evidence OF disease, VIZ. an
inquiry as to the best and shortest route to Cafor-
MIA, and whether it will be most expedent 10 take
shipping to Chagres, or to join Col. Hays, at San
Antonio, or Col. Kinney, at Corpus Christi. At
this point the disease may be said to have fully
developed itself, and to be beyond the reach of
medical skill. In fact, we believe our medical
faculty yet unable to prescribe to afford
any relief Not the least alarming feature about
this sickness Is, that can afford no relief to
another, but all are made worse by attempting to
minister to each others relief.-Howstow Aduer-
