The Cholera at Columbia, Pave an
nounced by telegraph yesterday that the cholera
had suddenly made its appearance at Columbia,
and that in an incredibly brief space OF time had
precedented II first broke out on Friday last, at
o'clock in the afternoon, and are credibly in
formed that up 10 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
there had been ffy-sg deaths, and that there were
seventeen neT cases reported yesterday up TO that
hour. E. 1
noon, brought down iour car loads Of the citizens
Of Columbia, with their families, who were fleeing
from the scourge. Most of them stopped at York,
and at farm-houses along the road with their
friends, whilst few came down to Baltimore.
The disease first made its appearance on Thurs
day afternoon, two emigrants having been taken
out Of passing train, and soon died with unmis-
takeable cholera symptoms. On Friday afternoon
a number OF the citizens were attacked, and at
10 o'clock on Saturday morning there had been
Is deaths. committee Of citizens Immediately
proceeded 10 Philadelphia TO procure experienced
medical aid, and on Sunday morning returned
with Drs. Bodden, Spencer, and Thomas e. Bun
ting, who have, since their arrival been laboring
necessarily with the sick and dying, and have in
some measure checked the sudden ravages of
the pestence. They also discovered that those
portions of the town where we-water is drank
altogether the disease had not appeared, whilst
those who drank the reservoir or hydrant water
were hourly being added to its victims. This dis
covery lead 10 an analyzation of the reservoir
water, which, during the drought had been filled
from the river and il was found to be not only un-
wholesome, but actually poisonous. This dis
covery, it is hoped, will tend TO check the further
spread of the disease.
We learn that short time previous TO the de-
parture OF the cars yesterday afternoon, seven.
teen new cases were brought in from Santee Fur
mace which is located about mile and hall
from the city, some of whom were in a collapsed
condition and beyond the possibility of recovery
The telegraph operator at Columbia had aban-
doned his office, and consequently we have been
able 10 obtain but little information through that
medium.

A Report is in circulation that, several days
ago, two marines died at the barracks, of cholera,
and that to conceal the fact from the public, the
funeral took place during the night. Lest un-
necessary fear should be excited on the subject,
we have made inquiry and learned from source
entitled TO full credit that there have been no
cholera cases at the barracks and that the two
marines who recently died there were buried, the
one in the morning and the other in the after

vile, carrying of money &c. In their hasty flight
they left letter, purportng TO be from one of the
gang TO his wife. in which the success and adj
ventures of the company are communicated. II
states that their rendevouz is so miles from Chi
csgo, and 30 from Vorcc, From the fact that
Vorce is the name Of an old Mormon settlement,
near Burlin gton, Wisconsin, abandoned some
years ago for Beaver Island, il is conjecured that
the gang is composed Of Mormons from that
island, whs are thus collecting store of provis-
ions, &c, which are probably brought to some lake
