from that circumstance James Stanback and c.
had never spoken believe. Clemens had been

TUE CHOLERA AT ST.. LoUIs.-The 81 Loyis
n. L.. Of, - eel
curry yesterday, especially ia the quarters of the
city where the disease heretofore was most vio- |
lent and from inquiries of physicians who have a |
large practice also from all the information 10 be
derived from the police, we are still more firmly |
convinced OF the correctness of our Impression
that the disease will not be epidemic, or of long
duration. Two OF our most eminent physicians 10.
formed US yesterday, that they had not q soil
tary case this season We cannot view il in any
other aspect than as of those sequents which
follow the next year after the appearance of the
disease in city. This has been its history and
course In New. Orleans, New York and other places
and is to be expected. where there are a large
number of emigrants arriving directly from a long |
sea voyage. The bills Of mortality for the past
week show that our city is not unhealthy Seven
ty four interments in a week, out of O population Of
eighty thousand, is by no means large or unusual
There is no cause Tor alarm or unessiness, and we
would particularly caution readers from giving
away to any such apprehensions; and, above all
against believing onetenth Of the reports that they
hear on the streets RuInOr is a most lying jade
even worse than some newspapers.
