rA CITY cEMETEMEs.
The prevalence Of the cholera has led TO an in
vestigafion into the manner Of interments in the
city, which will lead to good results. At the meet
ing of the Common Council last evening, Mr. Tillou
stated that on Friday last he visited Potter's Field
and examined the mode adopted there of burying
the dead, which is as follows To dig trench, a
few feet down from the surface OF the earth, parallel
to and beside a succession Of other trenches, and
therein to pile the collins, one above another, to
height several feet above the land the pile resting
against those of the previous trench to the north O
the one in use, and the top tier to throw layer
of EARTH leaving the broadsde of the pile, on the
south, uncovered until another trench, for similar
purpose is dug. Mr. Tillou further states that, at
the time of his visit, there were upwards of fifty
collins, containing dead bodies, covered with EARTH
on the northerly side only and little on the top
He concluded by suggesting that piece of land,
on the upper part Of the island, for public ceme-
terry should be granted and that three hundred and
sixty-fve vaults be constructed therein. The whole
subject was referred to special committee.

slip from the Savannah Gsoryian, dated July
%, has the following information from Florida
BY passengers in the Florida boat, arrived this
morning, 10 o'clock, we learn that further out
break of the Indians was made at Charlotte har-
Dor, on the Gulf coast, nearly simultaneous with
that on Indian river-so that the expresses
from east and west met at Tampa
The Indians, some fifteen or twenty in number,
came in at the trading store at the mouth of Pease
creek, at The head of Charlotte harbor, and in
qured for Mr.. Kennedy, the principal in the estab-
lishment. He being absent, they killed the clerk
and another man. and wounded several others
among them women--plundered the store, set fire
TO 1t, and burned II 10 the ground They then de-
campcd with their plunder and drove off with them
a number Of cattle
No suspicious Of hostility were entertained by
the inhabitants, who were of course entirely unpre
pared for an attack or for defence. An express
was sent to Tampa, and the officer in command
Immediately despatched one of the two companies
at that post to give protection TO those Of the set
tiers in the neighborhood of the depredations
There was not sufficient available force to pursue
the Indians into their recesses.
The express from Tampa was sent by the citi-
zens with dispatches for washington, which met
the Florida steamer Palathi. The frontier is almost
entirely deserted, il is believed that the Indians
contemplate another desperate war. In both in
stances, at Indian river and Charlotte harbor,
when the Indians first made their appearance, they
were perfectly friendly and received the hospitality
of the whites, which they returned in the savage
manner described
The greatest alarm and confusion prevail among
the frontier settlers, all of whom ure abandoning
their settlements and their crops, and fleeing for
safety to places of security, leaving their all in
many instances to the merces of the relentless
ages.
We stated the number Of the Indian warriors in
former notice at two hundred and fifty. This we
believed full estimate, but we are now informed
that at Tampa and Charlotte harbor the estimate
is much larger, from FIVE to six hundred
Mr.. Bussel who was wounded in the arm at
Indian river by the Indians, has been obliged to
have the arm amputated.

ExAGGERATED and injurious reports having
IL obtained currency in the country, concerning
the prevalence of Cholera in Boston, / think il due
to the of TRUTH and the business interests OF
the city, to countcract the evil tendency of such
rumors by a statement of facts.
The first of death by malignant cholera in
Boston, during the present year. occurred on the
Sd day of June last. From that time to the 10Th
inst, (six weeks) there have been 80 deaths in the
city by that disease, and no more. All Of them but
four have taken place among the emigrant popu-
ation in the least salubrious localities, and nearly
all have been superinduced by palpable indiscre-
tons in diet, or intemperance. In almost every
case the premonitory symptoms have been utterly
disrcgarded by the patient, and the physician has
not been called until his skill could be of no avail
Notwithstanding the extraordinary influx of for
eigners, (about Is 900 having arrived at this port
since the beginning Of the year and the increase
of population from other causes, the mortality has
not essentially increased Between the first day of
in Boston amounted TO 499. During the correspond
ing period of the existing season, the number of
deaths. including those by cholera, has been sos
The proportion of deaths to the population of
Boston, thus far, during the summer, has not been
greater than the mortality of healthy country

mariners, destitute strangers and reckless and dis
solute persons from every cline, has prolific sources
Of mortality, from which smaller communities are
happily exempt.
ing yards and cellars. The ofal is daily collected
from the houses and removed from town. No de-
caying animal vegetable matter il TO be seen in
our streets, which, with our dwellings, are drained
under ground. The strong and deep tides which
encircle us prevent the accumulation of noxious
substances upon our shores; we are amply sup
piled with excellent water, from an unfailing
source; our police prompt TO remove or rem
edy whatever nusances may occur; and in all re-
spccts we POSSESSES arrangements and advantages
for the preservation of health equal TO those Of any
village or city in the world.
New cases Of this disease may from time to
time occur, but they should not occasion more
alarm than any other monitions of mortality; and
there Is every TO believe, that by rigorous
enforcement of sanitary regulations and measures
on the part of the Government, aided by the Co
operation of the people, in regard to personal and
household cleanliness and regimen, our city will
this year exhibit as remarkable an exemption from
the ravagcs Of cholera at the period of the former
visitation of that pcstilence.
