THE CBoLERA.--As Ne have already ap
prised our readers, the Cholera has entirely
lelt this city. In our humble opinion, the
panic which was gotten up in the country
about Il was without foundation or reason. =
We do mot believe that there was single
day last summer when visitor from the
country to Richmond would have incurred
the slightest danger. The disease was most
" confined to single locality, and to per
sens constantly exposed to the vicissituoes
Of the weather and imprudent and irregular
in their habits. The great mass OF our citi-
xens remained steadily at their duties, not
leaving town for day. The tide OF visitors
from Richmond to the Springs, even among
those accustomed to visiting such places, was
but little more swollen than usual. There has
been no reason, sense, or justice In the alarm
which was raised about Cholera in Richmond.
If we had been visited by such plague as
the yellow fever, cutting US down with the
fatality of that disease in Savannah, or if we
had even had yellow fever in our neighbor,
hood, there would have been cause for the
alarm, though there could scarcelyhave been
more of it than few cases Of cholera have
excited And where has the Cholera not
been3 Other Virginia cities have been al
fiicted with it MISUNDERSTANDING and Nor
folk have suffered from it in former days
and during this summer it has even penetra-
ted the citadel of the Blue Ridge, the region
of eternal health, and planted Its banner
among those who had forsaken the CITY, ana
those who feared to visit it. In some OF the
rural portions of Virginia, it has been iar
more fatal than in Richmond. In point OF
fact, Richmond is the healthiest city on the
Atlantic seaboard. Its elevated and airy sit
uation, and the billy character of the locahty'
affording the best natural advantages for tho
rough draining, contribute to degree OF sa-
lubrity with which no seaboard city can COM
pare. II has never been visited by the yell
low fever, fact which cannot be averred OF
any large city on the seabosrd.
As the cholera has now entirely disappear
ed. we have no wish to revive the discussion
of the subject, but simply to assure our coun-
try friends that they will be quite as safe now
in visiting the city as in staying at home
Richmond is perfectly healthy, and her trade
ought no longer to suffer from contrary
idea. Her merchants are prepared, with
large amount and great variety OF goods I'M
ported directly from Europe, to sell on better
terms than can be obtained in the Northern
markets.
The ENeUIRER.-The Richmond Enquirer
of yesterday announces that MIR. William w.
Dunnavant has purchased the interest OF the
late Thomas Richie Jr., in the Enquirer es-
Enlistment, and that the paper will hence
forth be published in the name of "Ritchie,
Pryor & Dunnavant." For many years, adds
the Enquirer, Mr. Dunnavant has been con-
nected with the publication Of the Enquirer,
aud his known industry, fidelity and capacity
for business, justify his partners in the opin-
ion that he will introduce additional energy
and punctuality in the management of the
affairs of the office.
The Enquirer continues to be conducted
with marked ability as political journal, and
its literary department gives it unusual in
terest
Mr.. SouLE AND MR.. SANDERs.-Mr. Soule
has addressed letter to the committee of the
Banquet Of the Liberal Press at Madrid, ex-
cusing himself from accepting an invitation
to be present at it, but sympathizing cordial
Ill 10 I,
clusion of the letter:
The heart of Young America, be assured, will
palpitate with joy and happiness at the warm and
perfumed breezes which will watt to it across the
ocean the acclamations of enfranchised Spain Let
me be allowed to say that my own heart Is intoxi
Gated with felicity at the hope that Europe apathet
ic she may appear, will not allow to weaken and
perish the germs of regeneration which the sublime
sacriace Of some of your sons has just caused SO
wonderfully to shoot up for her.
The Assemabiee says that Mr.. Soule's letter
contains things contrary ''to the most simple
ideas of propriety." 1t also censures with
severity letter written by Mr.. Sanders, u.
s. Consul at London, to the President of the
Swiss Federal Council, relative to rumored
concessions of Switzerland and Austria, con-
corning the refugees. The Emancipation
Beige, Brussels, is still more indignant. 1t
says that the letters of Messrs. Soule and
Sanders manifest savage disdain for the
rights of nations which will not fail to rouse
the European public. In reply to their libe-
raj sentiments, it taunts the United States
with slavery. Hf we are not mistaken, q
Dutch vessel was the very first that ever
brought slaves to America.) The Brussels
journal is also of opinion that the United
States want to go to war with all Europe It.
says: "To behold the United States menacing
Cuba, bombarding Greytown, coyeting the
Sandwich Islands, quarrelling with the gov.
eminent of the Netherlands on account of
Capt. Gibson, and intervening right or wrong
in the affairs of Spain and Switzerland, one
would say that they desire to quarrel with all
Europe. THERE'S in their conduct calcula
ted petulance and an audacity of manner that
begins to seriously fatigue tJatiguer sereiuse-
