A Cholera Panic in Europe,

The cholera is on its traves-that fierce and pitt
less plague which has its residence in the East but
salles forth at periodical intervals to declimate West
North and South. From time TO time we hear of
the visitation in distant placesdesths by wholesale
in Central Asia deaths in Southern Russia, regi-
ments disbanded by death on Indian marches, and
rivers choked with corpse5 in the islands of the
Eastern Ocean. The last Red Sea news brought
word that Mecca and Medina are this year vast lazar
houses Of chOera-smitten victims, the pilgrims per-
shing all along the road TO the shrnes from Jeddah
and the southern ports and Shieks who had come to
kiss the kaaba, turning back in horror, with their
trains, to succumb in tents and houses where they
had shut themselves up.
Already Egypt has been reached and the fellahs
there are perishing by thousands; so much so that
the italian and French harbors are shut against ves-
mail boats in quarantine ever since two moribund
passengers landed in the Jollette and at last
we ourselves have been obliged to confront peril
that cannot be disregarded, The newspapers and
letters which went out of the general post Office on
Tuesday last were sent in boxes instead Of bags to
prevent infections being carried out of Egypt by
the mails passing through the country. That in
deed, is not precaution our own behalf, but Il
viii be observed with regard to the overland dis
patches coming homewaTd. All the instances we
enumerate, and Others which might be cited, prove
that the cholera is on its periodical march; and
without ascribing TO the source the outbreaks
in Northern Russia Poland and Prussia it is at the
least possible that the year may be signalized by the
invasion of that enemy which patriotism and cour-
age cannot keep out Of our island.-London TtLe-

The Negro Population.
BY BRowNLow, HAws & CO.

The Black Republican, paper very well edited
by black clergyman st New Orleans, contains a
gorrespondece between committee Of the Freed
men and the editor, on the prospects Of the black
populatien Of the South. From the reply of the
editor we copy the following paragraphs
The coIored man and the white man cannot live
together in this country; they must and will have
TO separate unless the Congress of the Nation shall
gve them d place 10 themselves, for as 1t was with
Abraham and Lot, so it is with Us, the sooner we

our race in this country is destined to become eX-
tlnct unless we move TO ourselves. And after we
shall have obtained the right Of suffrage, L shall
strongly advocate 8 treaty stipulation between the
United States and our race whereby we may live
under the United States flag, but be apart to our
selves and even then we viii become dissatisfied,
for there is no historian that can point out an IN
stance where two nations have ever lived together
happily.
