From the London Times, September q.
We are informed on most unquestion-
able authority that-a decided and undoubt-
ed case of Asiatic cholera with fatal re-
suit has occurred in Southampton. The
victim was man named Rose, about thirty
years of age, residing-in Brewhouse-court,
Brewhouse Lane, who died on Sunday,
about thirty-six hours from his first attack,
the symptoms at every stage being those
of the most virulent form Of this dreadful
disease. The unfortunate man himself
dated his illness from having been enga-
ged a few days previously in cleaning out
very offensive cess-pool. Another case,
that Of a woman living in a different part
of the town, is also reported as presenting
similar symptoms. Although these cases,
should they both prove to be Asiatic chol-
era, may not presage an immediate prev
alence Of the epidemic, they are sufficiently
alarming TO call for UigilaHt and energetic
measures, iCithO1st on hours delay on the
part of the local authorities, and, if neces-
sary, the government itself With full
of the fact that the town of
Southampton is in direct communication,
by means of mail steamers, with the Med
iterranean and only four days from Glib
raltar, where the cholera now prevails,
and at which port these steamers call,
every possible sanitary precaution should
at once be taken to guard the health, not
lnly of the inhabitants of Southampton,
Dut of the country at large.

Order from seerctary weIIes.


New York, October 1.-THE order of
Secretary Welles, prohibiting the collection
of money for political purposes from
workmen in the navy yards, is published.
The Secretary notices the attempt to justi-
fy this practice by the claim that it has
heretofore prevailed, under all parties.
But, he does not consider the excuse of
any validity, and, therefore, orders that an
immediate stop must be put 10 the abuse.
The navy yards are to be kept free from
political manouvering and no person will
be allowed to resort to them for the pur
pose of electioneering or to collect funds
to advance the interest of candidates for
office.
The Secretary has also issued a circular,
which we have already noticed, directing
that hereafter all applicants for the posi-
tions of master-workmen must be made to
the Bureau of Yards and Docks in Wash
ington.

Fortress Monroe correspondent saws :
JEFF Davis / am told expresses himself
greatly blessed in his change of quarters.
Temporary sseps have been built admit
ting his going to the parapet from the hall
direct. He takes his daily walks and con-
tinues in the enjoyment of excellent
health. There is the same guard over him
now as from his first entrance to the for
tress. New rumors are getting in circula-
ton as to his trial, but not tracable of
course to any reliable source. The most
important of these rumors sets his trial
down to commence in few days, and
takes place here Another rumor gives
Washington as the place of trial, and the
time for it to commence directly at the
close of the Wirz examination. Amid
these conflicting statements and surmises
the only satisfactory recourse after all is to
leave the final decision of the matter to
time, that great arbiter of events and des-
tines.
Within the past twenty-fours there has
been an unusual arrival of gunboats They
consist of the double turreted Monitor,
Monitonah, side wheel and old blockade
runner, Tristan Shandy and a sloop of

As the election draws near there is a
growing interest as to the local canvass
and its result in Norfolk. Most interest
of course centers in the Congressional
candidates. 1t is understood that Mr..
Chandler will be the successful candidate.
There is no let up in the antipathy to
Northern emigration and Northern capi-
talists: A growing system is developing
itself of letting Northern business men
severally alone in the hope and determin-
alton to drive them from the city.

The New FRENCH ComedIan.

From late number of London Society
we eollate an account of reigning queen
of comedy in Paris
Mdlle. Schneider, formerly of the Palais
Royal, but now of the Varieties, is very
handsome, and what is still better-in
Paris-very fair. Her most recent success
has been as La Belle Helene, in the bur
lesque opera Of that title, composed by NJ.
Offenbach, to story whose main incidents
are taken from the classic legend of the
Trojan Helen. 1t is not unlikely that the
color of MdlIe. Schneider's hair was the
source of the composers inspirations it
certainly inspired the song to Venus
"They call me the blonde,
The fair daughter Of Leda,
which is one'Uf its favorits morceaux. Not
content with the naturally faxen-hued
framing of her face, she resorted to art for
a SUMMER tint To judge from her the
Greeks and Troians fell out and fought
about lady whose hair was red MdlIe.
Schneiders acting is extravagant. She
has genius for absurdity, and is possessed
of it as by an evil spirit. When debating
between conjugal duty and the dictates of
her heart, her face will suddenly lose all
expression, her limbs become straight and
unmanageable, and she will move after tie
manner of wooden doll afflicted with st.
Vitus. She has a charming voice and
sings with taste and power. As she holds
high note she will shake her head like a
mechanical figure, or use her hands and
feet as If she were an automaton, whose
interior clOck-wOrk had been wound ZIP
and set going. Whenever she assumes
the classic robe, it is to display beneath 1t
the tricks, manners, customs, habits, antics
and expressions of fast modern modesto
The opera Bouge, where she performs, is
an admirable institution, and while NJ.
Ofenbach continues to compose, the resort
must be delightful for a couple of hours
amusement.
Otfenbach takes most of his subjects for
from heathen mythology,
modern manners and mythology
cal attire in the most extravagent way
One hears Venus talk of cosmetiqus and
crinoline; Mars of breach-loaders Bac-
ehus of South African sherry, and Apollo
of the jewsharp; Minerva taking three
Jumps of sugar to her tea and Juno ''row-
ing the cloud-compeller and talking
kitchen politics is pleasant link cf asso-
citation between the past and the present.
In La Belle Helene, the solos and chorus
the Couplets des Rois are as humorous
pieces of exaggerated musical and dramat-
ic absurditp as can be imagined. Not only
is the air and the orchestration both mill
tary and heroic, but it is broken into frag-
ments tOsuit the metre of the march. Men
claus announces himself thus:

ri de Ia rein, shl

The Chicago Tribune estimates the num-

this country he says is only about ten

nearly three thousand, and we think more
than ten thousand in Massachusetts.

Louisiana Affairs.


WAsH1NcTON. Oct. IO.-A special to
the New York Herald says that some new
complications seem to have arisen in Lou
isiana affairs. n Provisional Governor
/ Wells has made same doubtful appoint
ments in General Canby's opinion, and he
calls for the political anteeedents of the
| appointees before allowing them to enter
upon the duties of their offices.
General Sheridan is understood to ap-
prove of his proceedings. The President
is reported TO have sent for Secretary
Stanton, on hearing of the imbroglio, and
wished to know if the interference was
caused by the War Department.
Mr.. Stanton, by the same authority,
disclaims any and all interference and
left the onus on either General Candy or
General Sheridan, according to the report
of the affair President johnson is de-
termined to support Governor Wells and
will tolerate no interference with his le-
gitimate duties.
The garrison at Washington is at pres
ent composed of sc%en regiments of the
Veteran P.sserve Corps, the 18th, 9th, 10th.
18th. 18th. 10th and oath The Sd and
10th regiments of United States Infantry,
and the l95th and 2l4th Pennsylvania,
and the l94th Ohio Volunteers, number
ing in the aggregate about 1000 men, are
also on duty.
The 9TH United States Cavalry is on du;
ty at Lieutenant General Grants head
quarters.
The duty required of these troops is
light. it being no more than patroling
Long Bridge and doing guard duty at the
White House and the various stock houses
where surplus government property is kept.
As this property is fast being disposed of
at auction and private sale, the garrison
will ere long be reduced to merely an or
namental body of troops.
Special to the Herald: Adiutant Gene
raj Lorenzo Thomas reports that the State
of Mississippi alone is credited with hav-
ing furnished upwards of 10000 negroes
and 1000 whites to command them. They
are represented to have been raised during
the years 1861 for service during the
war.
