CorSrY HosPIraI---Of the tweny.cne sick passen-
gers saws The Herald OF the 10Th taken to the county
hospital from the steamer Uncle SAM four have since
died. Their names are John German, Mary holsnd,
H. and Mar M
these died yesterday before daylight, and the last dl
last eveLirg Two other patients named John II irris
and Ellen Smith, are in the last stage OF The dIss ase,
and will probably expire during the light. Every
attention that can be ronCered TO the sufferers tr ely
bestowed By the officers of the institution and the Sis
tiers of Mercy several of whom have been in constant
attendance uron the cholera patients since their adms
sion 10 the hospital. To the skiful nursing Cf those
noble ladies' may be attributed the s,fsty Of many
whose lives were at first despared of With the unre-
hitting attention and gentle offices OF female nurses
they bring the experience of many long watch with
t. sick and dying, and their valuable services are
always eagerly sough. when the breath ot csntagon
drives away the hired nurse. One of the patients is
very interesting girl aged about fifteen years Mans
Louisa. She was happily favored with the care OF
mother while on board the vessel, and is reported
beyond danger. The following are the names Of those
remaining in the hospital John Breton, Hugh Con
ague, John Delaney, Frank SCHNEIDER, Dennis Cor
man. james County, III. Smith, a. Thorn lson EliIa
A. Moore, Louisa Bogart NJ BasnsoD, John Harris,
and Ellen Pure As previously stated the two last
named not expected TO survive 1t is thought that
more of the other caSs will prove fatal. IL may be
proper to state that John German, one Of those who
died persisted TO the last in refusing the medicine Of
fered TO him. Margaret McGentTy deceased, leaves
child aged three years the husband OF the deceased
died during tie passage.
Since our last report of the condition OF the cholera
patients of the county hospital says The Herald OF
the l7th there have been two more deaths. The first,
Henry Smith, aged fifty years died yesterday morn
ing The last, Charles Walton, native of Germany,
aged twenty four year, died at IL o'clock last night
We are indebted to Messrs. Wells, Fargo Co.'S
messenger for the following particulars in regard to
the sickness on board tie Uncle SAM He was through
the entire ship several times each cay and thinks his
knowledge Of the number Of deaths correct as could
well BE- The disease was confined almost entirely to
the seerage there being but four five deaths In the
cabin. The number of deaths in both Storage and
cabin lie estimates rot TO vary ten from one hundred
say two or three more than that number. lie states
that the Isthmus was perfectly healthy No sickness
occurred there. He noticed the Storage passengers
eating freely of green pantsins, bananas, and all the
unrpe fruits with which the isthpus abounds; drink
ing also large quantities of lime juice lemonade: ETC.
The cabin passengers generally had sufficient Judg-
ment TO abstain from eating such fresh, and he thinks
this may be the cause OF the good health OF the cabin
passengers He states that the physician OF the ship,
Dr. Fitch and his volunteer assistant, DR.. Moses, late
of tie army were occupied night and day, and lived
almost without eating sleeping aborlng necessarily
10 stsy the rayages OF the disease. He thinks too
much praise cannot be awarded them and also TO the
officers o the ship, who sacrificed their comforts
and rest to and assist the sick. He furnishes
these particulars at request as there were 20 many
conflicting rumors as to the number of deaths, etc.
