Tn CHoxRA-NsrpIzss ALAKM IN REIA-
rroN TO THE ATALANrA.-The best answer
to all the attempts to make sensation
and frighten people with cholera stories -
q simple statement OF the facts IN the case
OF the Atalanta. The first fact Is that sne
is an emigrant ship. The pestilence has not
come to US In the ordinary course OF CONNER
cIal interchange 1t has not come on any frst
class passenger ship, although such are con-
stantly plying between our ports and the re-
gion in which the cholera RACES. Another mct
is that the cholera, though on the Atalanta, hos
only touched one class of passcngers-those In
the Storage. The ship had fifty cabin passen-
gers and 1--WE hundred and four in the Storage.
The truth, then, simply Is that the cholera SO
called has broken out in the steerage OF an
English emigrant ship-a place in which the
largest number Of passengers that ever cross the
sea ere crowded like cattle on the way to mar
ket. II ID even an exceptionally bad passage;
for the shin does not come straight'from her
starting place to this port in the ordinary
time. Her machinery got ont Of order. She
stopped ct French port to have it
repaired, and she has been out altogether
thirty-four days Add the discomforts, then,
Of an unusually long voyage to the ordinarily
bad condition Of steeragc passenger, and we
6nd an abundant explanation for unusual NOR
tality. Bad or insufficient water and food, an
overlong stay in the fetid atmosphere Of the
storage, and the fright of The ignorant pas
sengers at the mere fact Of touching at o
French port-all these are what constitute the
"choleran on the ATLANTA.
The mortality on the ATLANTA g msrely m
usually great e. n snigrant ship It is not
:terrible" Twenty deaths are the most re-
ported by the worst story, and this is out Of
Eve hundred and four passengers, on voyage
of twcnty-four days less than death day
Does any one believe that cholera would ACT
that way? This cholera story will have one
good effect if it makes us clean up our crowded
and dirty places-the ssteerages" Of oul
cities-the only places where cholera has ever
done any harm. 1t is to be hoped that il
will not stimulate timid physicians into report
ing As cholera every case Of doubtful intestinal
disease.

THE CABIN AND THE SrEERAGE5 or CrTrEs.-The
case of the recently arrived chelera ship shows
how that dreadful disease thrivns. There were
fifty passengers in the cabin and five hun
dred in the Storage, and not one of the cabin
passengers was attacked, while the mortality in
the Storage was serious. So il is and will be
oil over the world; the cleaner portions Of
cities and towns escape, while the poor, dirty,
crowded portions suffer. The. duty is, there
fore, incumbent upon US to clean the steerage
Of our cities-back slums, tenement houses and
oil. The cabins are already comparatively
safe.

The RESOURCES OF THE SoUTH-A Call. FROM
ARKANsAs.-From every quarter of the South
its people, impoverished and exhausted by the
war, are calling upon Northern and European
capital and enterprise to give them new start
in the development of their boundless agricul-
tural mineral, manufacturing and commercial
resources. The last call before us is from Fort
Smith, on the western border Of Arkansas.
In the Ns,o Era of tina. town we find glowing
account Of the advantages Of that section of the
State to actual settlers. The climate is good,
the lands are rich and cheap, producing
liberal crops of cotton, tobacco, hemp,
corn, wheat, &C., grapes and all the
fruits of the Southern, Central and Northern
States. The forests are filed with fine pine, a
variety of oaks, walnut cherry, hickory, pecan
and other valuable timber. 1t is a fine grazing
country, too, and abounds in minerals and
water power. Coal fully equal to that Of
Pittsburg exists in abundance in the imnsdi-
ate vicinity Of Fort Smith, which, at the head
Of navigation, is the commercial depot be.
tween the Mississippi and the prairies, on the
line of the Arkansas. We are, in fact, just be-
ginning to comprehend the vast resources Of
wealth and prosperity all over the South await
ing the development of capital and labor.
In Arkansas alone there is a field in which
millions Of people may flourish and still have
room for more.
Why cannot the enterprising men of our over
flowing Northern cities organize in each at least
one emigration company for the cheap transport
tation and location Of settlers in these Inviting
regions Of the South! Whut vast amount Of
labor running to waste might thus be en-
ployed in adding 10 the wealth Of the country
and the relief Of the national Treasury, and to
the endless profit Of oil concerned.

siana cotton planter and q prominent man in
the rebel government. He says: "Those who
were inclined to commence planting again are
generally without means TO restock and supply
their plantations. Fam enc Of that number.
With means | think could plant cotton, at
present prices with success; but have nothing
but my lands lett. II l could
make satisfactory arrangements with capt.
talst would leave the law and give all my
time to planting" This il the fact, not only in
the individual case Of this gentleman, but TO
great extent throughout the South. He ex-
presses himself modestly about the chance Of
success, but at the same time shows his con-
6dence. Looking at the price II cotton, and
what IL must be for some time to come, we are
disposed to think that the investment Of capital
in planting would prove very successful. Pro-
fable and safe terms could be made with the
owners Of plantations. They understand the
business, and would give their earnest and per-
sonal attention to IT, With all that can be done
the next year, il Ii not likely more than third
of the crop OF 1890 could be raised. Cotton
would remain, therefore, near he present price.
Carroll parish raised In 1850 scvcnty-thrce
thousand bales. No one supposcs 1t possible
to raise more than hall, or much more than
halt, that amount The corning year. The same
causes and reasons apply IN great measure to
other cotton growing dhtricts. From these
facts IL may be seen what On excellent pros
pect there is tor those who invest tn the busi-
ness.
We do not refer here to the question in is
general bearing upon the trade Of the whole
country, the revenue and the pacifcation and
future progress Of the South. This must BE-
apparent TO the most common understanding,
and needs no argument On the whole, the
planting and industrial interests Of The South
ern States, % well as the restoration Of har-
mony between the negroes and their former
masters, look promising, II helping hand

brought before him at the present term, that
there will be little more caution exercised in

Lecture on Geology.

Our readers should not forget that PROBES
SCR Cunning delivers the first OF his course of
lectures on Geology at Mechanics Hall, this
evening. There is no science which under the
skillful treatment OF an accomplished lecturer
becomes more deeply interesting or more pro-
foundry suggestive than this, opening to us as
it does the great book in which is written the
history of our globe throughout the long ages
before the birth of man, and revealing to us
the architectural plan of the Creator in the
construction of the earth on which we dwell
The reputation of Professor Cunning is of a
high order not only for ability and eloquence
as speaker, but for, accurate and extensive
knowledge of his subject; and all who would
enjoy rich and lasting pleasure should not
miss the opportunity of attending his lectures.
The lecture this evening, the Introductory one
of the course is free.

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. 9.
A meeting was held in Norfolk yesterday to
take measures toward the organization of an
emigrant society.
A circular has been issued by Col. Brown,
Assistant Commissioner of Freedmen, calling
the attention of the agents of the Bureau to
their neglect of duty in not enforcing upon
freedmen in their districts the necessity of en-
tering into and fulfilling contracts for labor
with planters and others, who have employ
ment for them.
He adds, where employment is offered on
terms that will provide for the comfortable
subsistence of laborers, removing them from
the vices of idleness, and from dependence on
charity, they should be treated as common va
grants If they do not accept, and the rules of
the Bureau applicable in such cases win be
rigidly enforced"
In the prize fight to-day, in Norfolk, between
Lawrence Curry, of that city, and Young
Duffy, of Massachusetts, Curry Is reported to
be the most punished, but is said to have won
the fight in consequences of Duffy striking a
foul blow.
The steam revenue cutter Kanakee has
taken the place of the sailing cutter Phillip
Allen, on this station. The latter goes to Bal
timore to be sold.
Two hundred and fifty men of the Sth Maine
Volunteers, under command of Col. E. A. True,
arrived here this forenoon from Richmond and
will assist temporarily the 9Th United States
artillery in garrisoning the Fortress.
