The Cholera

The Eholera
 On Sunday the fifth of November, the steam7 ship Atalanta from London and Havre with four hundred and ffty-eight passengers, an chored in New York Harbor. The New York officials discovered that she had several cases of cholera among her passengers, and ordered her into Quarantine. It seems thatthIs loath- some and fatal disease broke out on the second day from Havre. and before the vessel reached our shores fifty or sixty eases appeared fifteen of which had proved fatal. ssazzz. The progress westward of the Asiatic cholera for several months past. has awakened la good deal of apprehension in this country, ani it's introduction on board the Atalaatas increased the alarm. The officials in New York, how ever, have taken every precaution to. prevent the disease from reaching the shore, and it is hoped that the pestilenee may yet be ayerted.
 As cholera is disease that feeds on filth and intemperaEce, there is little fear of its rag ing in the country, and especially in tine pure air of LitchGeld County; yet it is well for us to understand the preventives and remedies for it. Cleanliness; exercise in the open air. healthy diet, and care to not come in contact with it's victims, are the best preventives. The two remedies most used in Europe are -an applica- tion of a dry icebag the whole length of the spine; and drink of inerallemonade, e,--sul- phuric acid andasimple syrup, in water. But it is far better, by attending to the sanitary con dition of our homes, and prevent the possibility of it's visiting us. .s .a& aso4.
 n@- It is asserted, that upon the breaking out of the rebellion, Henry Hotze of Mobile, was sent to London to manufacture letters and articles to be inserted in the English and French journals, in order to give the most fa- vorable coloring to rebel transactions, and with full instruction to pay for their insertion, 1.-the matter could not be arranged otherwise. At Havana his visit to the British consul, Mir. Crawford, was of very friendly nature, and they became so intimate that Hotze, B. Helm and the consul, pledged themselves individually and collectively, to aid the holy cause of the Confederacy to the utmost of their power, while life remained to them. From that hour the British consulate became the chief rendezvous between rebeldom and Europe.
 It has been estimated that by MT. Crawford's direct assistance upwards of two millions of bales of cotton and 50,OOO boxes of tobacco were thus smuggled out through the blockade, to say nothing of munitions of war supplied to rebels from England, and of which slight idea may be formed by the single statement that Magruder's forces in Texas were entirely armed and supplied, from Europe principally, and from London directly, by aid and personal assistance of Mir. Crawford. stlq !ay 4q.,
 B@- The Copperhead party think that Gen. Sherman is hero, and martyr to abolition hate and ervy. They are very fond of en- dorsing' him and quoting his opinions. The ! following letter shows what he thinks of them, and what kind of an endorsement he sees fit to give them:
 Gen. Judson Kilpatrick: /
 DEAR SIR: have observed with interest your political conflict in New Jersey. It is re- ally provoking, hardly worthy of serious thought, but rather of satire and ridicule, the squirming of the politicians called Copperheads who opposed the war from every conceivable motive. Some from sheer cowardice, others to oppose political party. Some because they thought we could not whip the South, land now that it >is reduced to demonstration, have hard work to explain their conduct even | to themselves. I have no patience with that class of men, and believe the people of the South have more respect for us who belabored them soundly, than for the Copperheads. who, nominally their friends, led them deeper and deeper into trouble.
 w T. SHERMAN, Major-Geheral. ID
