THE CHOLERA AT NEW YORK.
Character of the Disease on Board the
Atlanta.
From the New York Post, 9th.

The Secretary of the Treasury sent tele
gram to Senator E. d. Morgan, in this city to-
day. directing that ifthe Health Commissioners
of New York desired it, any blockade runner
in charge Of Commander Bell, at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, should be placed at their disposal
for the purpose of taking on board persons
who come to this port in any vessel or vessels
that may bring cases of cholera.
Mayor Gunther, to whom the subject was
referred, has written an order to the comman-
der Of the Navy Yard and vessel is to be
despatched to the lower quarantine as soon as
possible.
The passengers of the steamship Atlanta,
who have not yet been attacked by cholera, will
be taken on board this vessel. The cholera
patients are already, it is understood, on the
floating hospital, the Falcon; and any persons
amongst the number are given quarters on the
blockade runner, and those who become sick
will also go on board the hospital ship.
The Atlanta will then remain in charge of
the health authorities her baggage and her
cargo viii be fumigated, and the time when
she will be allowed to como to this city, if at
ALL is yet to be decided.
The passengers who have been exposed to
the epidemic will be detained at quarantine,
until more than seventeen days-the time al
lowed for the development of cholera after
exposure-shall have elapsed
THE STEAMSHIP EUROPE.
The passengers of the steamsphip Europe,
| who have so urgently protested against their
confinement at Quarantine, are to be permit
ted to come to this city tonight, under the
orders of the Mayor, given after consultation
with the Health Officer and resident Physician.
They have been more than seventeen days on
the way from Havre, and no cases of disease
have occurred on board.
The vessel will then be fumigated so that
| the baggage, which was packed i'll Paris, will
contain none of the infection of cholera, and
the vessel will come to this city tomorrow
THE CHARACTER OF THE CHOLERA on THE AT
LANTA.
DR.. Walzer made a report yesterday IN re-
gard to the cholera patients of the Atlanta
| under his charge. There had been eleven
more cases, and one person had died
The physician also wrote to Rowland AS
pinwall, the consignees of the Atlanta, saying
| he thought all had been done for the unfortu
nate passengers that circumstances admitted
| of. He added that the disease was Of mild
| type: though the present state of the weather
| might affect its character untavorably.
ACTION OF THE NATIONAL AUTHORITIES.
The subject of the approach of cholera has
| engaged the attention of the National authori-
ties. The Acting Surgeon General wrote to
the secretary OF Slale IN OCTOBER, recommends
| ing that he call the attention of the Governors
of the respective States to the spread of the
| cholera in Europe, with view of preventing
| the introduction of the disease into this coun-
| try. Some of the Governors of the seaboard
States to whom the intelligence sent hither by
our consuls from the Mediterranean ports was
communicated, took early action by recon-
mending sanitary reforms, and special mea-
sures for preventing the ravages of the disease.
