very quiet at Atlanta for some days.

CHOLERA INFANTUM.-Th mortality
among children from this fearful complaint
is terrible during the warm weather. In
all large cities fully one-third of the deaths
during the summer occurs among children
under two years of age. Physicians, as a
class, do not seem to understand the nature
of the complaint, and hence they fail to
cure it. The success of Dr. Aborn in this
complaint has been almost unparalleled.
Patients visited at their residences, or med
icine furnished at the Medical and Surgical

ILLNESS OF Gov. MEDARY.-Near the
conclusion ofhis speech at the Court House
yesterday, Gov. Medary was attacked by a
severe Illness and acute pain. He was con-
veyed to his residence on Front street, and
for several hours his prostration and suf-

SPARED OF, and the members Of his family,
most of whom arc absent, were telegraph

alarming; the acute pain was no longer felt,
and he was improving, though the attack
will doubtless ccnfine him to his bed for
some time to come. 81 NJ, ,sas

Last Year and This.

About year ago Democratic mob
demolished the office and printing ma
terials of the Troy Times. Comment
ing upon Coy. Seymour anxiety to see
that the laws are faithfully executed,
the editor of that paper remarks peril
nently as follows:
We are glad to see the Governor so
anxious to defend the freedom of
speech and the press. We only wish
he had manifested the same zeal a'year
ago. AT that time not only the press,
but the property and lives of ourciti-
zens were threatened with destruction
by the violence of an organized mob.--
We have never heard that the Cover
nor so thought it advisable to instruct
the district Attorney Tofy Rensselaer,
County to enquire into the sack and
destruction of four Office. Why was'the
Governor so Indifferent a year ago,
and why is he so jealous now, to pun
ish the assailants of free press? lett
because the assailsnts year ago were
his "friends" and because this year his
"friends" are the assailed? Or was
the Governor last year wiling that a
mob should frighten the, -Administra-
ton into postponement Of the draft,
and does he this year imagine that the
Administration will be damaged by an
investigation? The Governor out of
his way home one year to conciliate
mob and the next year goes beyond
his duty to display his zeal for the lib
erty of speech and the press IF he
had manifested last year any sympathy
with our losses, we should have given
him some credit this year for sincerity.
% But he seems to think there is one
law for Republican paper, and anoth-
err for Democratic paper ~
