While Ne. Of Natchez, have been SO free from
cholera, it is wonderful 10 remark the malignity
with which It ragged for few days npon the
Hoover Home place, t@enty-eight miles below the
city. Ii about eight days there. were forty
deaths upon the plantation We have seen gen
tlenan who was there during the progress OF the
disease He informed ms thai in all the cases
which were discovered and treated IN the incipient
stage lie had no difficulty in controlling them, and
recovery speedily followed. Many OF the cases it
was impossible 10 discover until they were in Q
state Of collapse, OF, ct least, too far gone to be
revived. NearlF all of the deaths We're preceded
bv only short sickness, not generally more than
five or SIX hours. Our informant also told us that
the disease was not stayed until the negroes were
moved from their quarters INTO the woods, when
very decided and happy change took place. We
hope it Is Appointment change.
We are Informed that a bale of new cotton was
brought to town yesterday. This. we believe, is
the first Of the season and was raised by Mr. Z.
0tey Rsileg, On his place, eleven miles from this
city.
