THE CHOLERA AT New YoRK.-Great ex-
element has been caused in New York by the
arrival at that port Of the steamer Atlanta from
London. with Asiatic cholera on board. Eight
passengers died on the voyage, and Ii had the
disease when the steamer reached New York.
Speaking of the appearance of cholera at New
York. the Richmond Times says:
THE ravages of the Cholera in New York will
be, no doubt, fearful as they were in Constan
tinople. Recent revelations disclose the fact
that both above and below ground New York is
as unclcanly as any Eastern city. Within few
hundred yards Of the palatial buildings on Broad
way there of thousands of the poor Of
New York living in crowded tenement houses. i'll
squad poverty, who will be swept by the Cholera
There in that city hundreds of huge buildings
six stories high, cut up into rooms scarcely as
large as closets, where human beings are packed
like mackerel in a kit. Each Of the tenement
houses is al Andersonville in filth and imparity.
The air in the proximity of these buildings is
poisoned by the foul smells and odors which cling
around these hIpous abodes. Within fifty yards
of the office of Harper's Weekly is one of these
buildings, which is occupied by three hundred
families, or twelve hundred persons. These
places swarm with drunken men, worn, sickly and
slatterny women and ricketty children. There
are in New York five hundred and eighty of these
tenement houses, containing fifty thousand per-
sons. There are single blocks of these houses
which contain larger population than ten miles
of spacious mansions on Fifth Avenue"

Something Wrong.

We have heard repeated declarat ions
10 the effect that the men drafted .,
Leavenworth have beer kept in a pen
in the most miserable manner-littie
better accommodation than should be
furnished beasts. We are compelled to
believe that has BEEN most inhuman and
shameful treatment Of these men. The
draft itself was an outrage. The man
ner Of getting substitutes was another
piece Of villainy and swindling; but
after all this 70 treat the men as SO many
hogs. half feed. half clsihe and less
than half shelter and provide for their
comfort. caps The climax, and demands
the most careful investigation Of the
outrage, AMI the severest punishment
of the parties who are guilty Of il.
As matter of coarse there must be
some motive for this conduct. and We
can conceive Of only one. that Of gain
to some Individual or individuals; and
ve preSume that some officer has charg.
cd the government full price for pro-
perly keeping and fsedieg these mss.
less than half done the vork, and pocket

Investigated fully and promptly.
