THE CHoLERA.-The steamer Atlanta,
from London, the 10th ult,, via Havre
the 18th ult., arrived at New York, Fri
day, with 546 German passengers: Most
of her passengers embarked at London,
but additions were received at Havre,
and among the Havre passengers the
cholera ragged with considerable severity
throughout the voyage. Up to FRIDAY
afternoon nineteen persons had died on
the Atlanta and there were twenty cases
on board. The Atlanta was sent to the
lower bay for quarantine, the sick pas
sengers were taken on board hospital
steamer, the remaining passengers will
not be allowed to leave the Atlanta at
present, and no communication at all
will be allowed with the steamer. The
news that the cholera prevailed on board
the Atlanta caused great excitement and
almost panic in New York. The
health officers of that city and Of Jersey
CITY at once convened and dispatched a
committee to Washington asking the
| government to grant some Of the gov
| ernment land at Sandy Hook for use as
a temporary quarantine. If the grant
ia obtained. and it doubtless will be, the

is uncommonly smart. After disposing

Henry Ward Beecher makes a still
worse piece of work. Instead of having
a high and sublime ideal as Mr. Phillips
as, he has no ideal at all, no convictions
upon any subject; but slashes about
GOOD deal after the manner Of George
Francis Train. One would think that
Connecticut had brought shame enough
upon herself by her recent vote against
free suffrage, but now comes Beecher,
one of her most notorious sons, and
deepens the suspicion that thcre'is some

CHoLERA.-The following facts pre-
sented by the n. Y. Evening Post are
timely:
"Cholera has two stages, Fremont
tory or mild stage, and stage of col
lapse, which is fatal. The premonitory
stage is ushered in by mild, painless
diarrhoea, which generally continues
for hours, sometimes for days before the
stage of collapse sets in. In this pre-
monitory stage the disease is readily
and promptly durable by simple RENE
dies. combined with rest in the recum-
bent position. All that is necessary,
therefore, to prevent a fatal attack OF
cholera is that the patient shall lie down,
keep warm and quiet, and take such
remedies as will relieve the diarrh@a.
A knowledge of these facts led many
English towns, in former visitations OF
cholera, to organize a body of visitors
| under the direction Of q central medical
hoard. whose duty it was to visit from
house to house two, three or four times
daily, and inquire in every family lor
these cases of diarrhUa. Each visitor
carried the proper remedy, and person,
ally attended to its administration, ano
to the confinement of the patient to his
bed, The result of these organizations
was most happy, in numerous instances
towns lying in the direct track OF tn
disease did not lose a single inhaoitan
by cholera, thousands of cases Of pain
less diarrhoea were treated"
