The CHoLERA.-The San Francisco papers
are discussing the probabilities of this scourge
visiting our shores, and urge that all possible
steps be taken to place their city in as good q
sanitary condition as possible 1t is notice
able fact that cholera has always proved most
fatal in cities and communities which have
paid the least regard to the two important
laws of neutrality-suspicious. and cleanliness
temperance in all things, and cleanliness not
only personally and in the household, but in the
public streets and on all private premises.
Another important precaution is to conquer as
far as possible all feelings OF alarm, and main
tain calm, composed and cheerful spirit As
an instance of the power terror may exert in
this dread malady, il is related that in Paris,
at a time when cholera prevailed, physicians,
as an experiment, placed healthy convict 10
a room which had never had q patient in it,
and told him that man had died there of
cholera, short time previously; such was the
convict's alarm, that cholera of the worst type
seized him, from which be died.
The following extract from report made
by DR.. Logan, of Sacramento, in regard TO the
ravages of cholera in that city in 1850, is
interesting at this time:
at was while this peculiar modification of
diseased action (scorbutic dlarrhea) was at its
acme, that epidemic cholera suddenly appeared.
Never, perhaps, did pestileuce attack com
munity so little prepared to resist its ravages,
and seldom in the history of this cosmopolitan
disease. since its first cousternating cycle, in
1877, commencing at the Gangetic Delta. and
progressing around the globe, which it here
spanned, has its visitation of any locality been
more destructive and appalling. In the short
space of twenty eight days. e. from the 10th
Of October. the day the first death was re-
ported, TO the 18th of November, when the
number of deaths had tapered down to only
one or two per diem, and the subsistence Of the
epidemic was publicly announced-341 out Of
population of $500 were carried of, as will
be seen BY the tables. This, although a large,
shows by no means the true proportion. The
panic became so great that all who were able
to do so left the city; and if the true ratio
could be ascertained, doubtless there would be
revealed a greater proportional mortality than
ever attended the first outbreak of cholera in
any part of the globe. Many died and were
inferred of whom no record whatever was
taken for know. from personal observation,
that there was greater demand for intermeuts
at one time than the undertakers could comply
with; aud such was the malignancy of the
type, that | never afterwards met with more
than perhaps bali a dozen persons who had the
disease and recovered. This, believe, Is the
experience of most of the physicians who had
the good fortune to be engaged in their pro-
iession at that time in Sacramento. Fifteen
from among our ranks helped to swell the
black catalogue of viciims-alike sttesting the
heroic conduct Of the profession and the fatality
Of the disease"

SUSTAIN THE PREsIDEsT.-The following
ia an extract from the address of Gen. Sickes,
delivered at the Inauguration of the American
Institute Fair in New York, September 18th.
The South is low represented in the coun-
ellis of the nation by the President. Thor
oughly loyal, honest, able and fearless, be of
ali men knows the South and can be trusted
BY the whole country. 10 his vast and labor
GUS undertaking to restore tranquility and
bring order out CT the political ard Industrial
chaos which pervades the South, let Us give to
the President the same generous aud coDfdiDg
support accorded by all parties to the states
men of the period when our Government was
established When the war Of independence
terminated, the Colonies were 10 more favor
able condition for the development of their re-
sources, and for the settlement of their institu-
tons of government on surer foundations, than
we find the insurgent States 10 be at the pres
ent time. Let US be guided by the President
in the line of conduct We shall adopt in our
relations with the conquered States and peo-
pie. Let US ,ratfy the amnesty he has grant
ed. Let Us help him to maintain regular civil
authority in the subjugated States, by the &C
ton of their own loyal citizens. Let US do all
more in their ancient attachment to the Con
s,itution and the Union 1t has been almost
the uniform error of the successful party in
civil wars to perpetuate the passions of the
conflict by punitory and proscriptive measures
against the vanquished. Let US avoid this er-
ror. If the victors are magnanimous the van
pushed will be loyal. The prescription of the
Huguenots cost France million of her most
industrious aud loyal citizens arrayed the
Protestant Powers of Europe against her in
long and exhausting wars, and more than
century elapsed before the successors of Louis
XIV. regained the position and power lost by
persecution. The expulsion of the Noors and
Jews from Spain, the rigor Of the Inquisition
and the sanguinary policy of Philip ii. in the
Spanish Netherlands, were followed by the de.
clining prosperity and rank of Spain among
nations The cruel legislation OF the British
Parliament has driven two millions of the
population of Ireland to this country. Austria
requires three hundred Thousand soldiers to
counterfeit the effect of severe administration
in her Italian and Hungarian possessions So
long as armed resistance to the authority of
the Union continued, rather than suffer the
humiliation of submission and failure, would
have seen the continent laid waste and given
back again to the Senecas and Cherokees for
hunting grounds Now all is changed The
flag floats unchalenged, unsullied and imperial
over all the domain of the republic. Every
man who sauies it halls the ensign of freedom
and Justice When the few whose awful guilt
is beyond the pale of human charity shall have
suffered the penalty OF their crimes, may We
not say to those who are no longer our adver-
saries that we hold them as we hold the
rest of mankind-enemies in war, in peace,
friends ?"

Indian Fight : Several Killed and
Wounded.
SrRISerowS, Oct. 10th, 1865.

STRISGrowS, Oct. 10th, 1865.
EDroa UNION RECORD: The citizens of our
usually quiet place were thrown into consider.
able excitement, on Monday afternoon, BY one
OF the most fierce battles that ever took place
among the Indians 10 this part of the State.
These are the particulars as near as can give
them: Two or three years ago, one of the
kanaka Peak Indians, by the name of Harry,
killed Swede Flat Indian, the friends of
whom have been watching for a chance of
revenge, bu, Harry kept ont of their way, so
that no chance occurred until Monday after
noon. the evening Of which the annual 'burn.
ing OF the Stringtown Indians was to take
place, at the old grave yard on Oregon creek,
about a mile from this town. The Kauaka
Peak Indians. including Harry, were present i:
also, eight or ten from Swede Flat, one of
whom, on seeing Harry, shot at and badly
wounded him, when about twenty shots were
fred, but without further damage, when it
stopped 10 about an hour afterwards. Can't
Ellis who was chief Of all the Indians present,
but a member Of kauaka Peak camp, bearing
of the fight came towards the corral built for
the burning to take place in. When within
fifty feet of the entrance of the corral, he was
shot and instantly killed by one of the String
town Indians, when the battle was renewed
and kept up until about one hundred shots
were fred, many of which proved fatal. -Four
of the dead belonging to the Kanaka Peak
camp were left on the field as they made their
hasiy retreat. 1t is believed that several of
the Swede Flats were killed, and were carried
off by their friends. Among the three compa
mics, eight were mortally and as many more
slightly wounded. None of the Stringtown
Indians were killed, but three are supposed to
be MORALLY wounded. c. D. WooDNAN.

The LovEJoY MURpER.-A writer in the
st. Louis Democrat, giving the details of the
killing of Rev. Z. P. Lovejoy and the de-
struction of his printing establishment by an
Alton mob, in 1887, says it may prove inter
esting to know that the young man who killed
him was himself killed 10 the most barbarous
manner short time afterward, 10 a fracas in
bar room of the St. Charles Hotel, at New
Orleans, and that the man who fred the ROOT
died in the Ohio peuitentiary, where he wa;
sentenced for seventeen years, for highway
robbery in Cincinnati.

SoNE OF the Copperhead papers, in their
ipdiscrimiuate hate of loyalty" seek to rem

have been sort of stop-thief' cry, for this

named city, and otherwise made grand
splurge during the sessions of the convention
which nominated Mcclellan.
