Cholera. The official returns then re-
ported fifteen cases day. The epidemic
Is now fairly upon US with all its horrors.
The official reports give the number of
deaths at ESQ day. But it is plain enough
from the NUMBER of dead and dying seen
In the streets that tbs is far below the real
mortality in the cit, and it does not in
clude at all the mill Ary garrison of some
$4,000 men, among whom it is understood
to Be raging. TWenty.six dead bodies were
carried BY my ofice window yesterday.
What would be the mortality in New
YORK, the population of which is less than
than that of COnstantinople, if twenty
five dead bodies were carried in a dsy
through Lafayette Place alone for example.
do not think the deaths can now fall
short of 500 to 600 day, and they prob
ably exceed this number.
