GAS VS.. CHOLERA.

1t has been common impression
that the eXhalations from gas-works
are deletrious to the public health, but
scientific men have discovered the con-
trary--that carbonic acid, one of the
products of coal tar, is a powerful dis
infectant. Thus gas works, instead of
being the pestiferous places which,
during cholera seasons, they have been
represented to be, are, in fact, very
efficient sanatorians. The Gas Light
Journal publishes letter from an en-
gineer on this subject He was in
Barcelona during the months of July
and August, 1854, while that city was
visited with Asiatic cholera in its most
violent form. The death rate, 10 per
day, speedily amounted to cooper day.
A large number of the inhabitants fed
from the city, and in seven weeks the
population was completely decimated
During the prevalence of the cholera,
this engineer asserts that not a single
person was attacked by it at the gas
works, and since the epidemic invaria-
bly, attacked at night, the men employ
eu Ill Jne gas WORKS, acquiring conn-
dence in the sanitary condition of the
premises, came to occupy them during
the night, and brought their families
and friends, sleeping in the retort
houses, coal stores, or anywhere else,
so they were inside the works. None
of these persons had the cholera.
The same journal states that similar
use was made of the gas-works of Mar
settles, Seville, and other towns on the
Continent, and with equally beneficial
results.
1t is said that the experience of gas
companies in New York and Philadel-
phia has been alike noteworthy, the
persons employed in the various gas
works having enjoyed absolute immu-
nifty from attacks of the disease.

Gov. Patton, Of Alabama, recently
wrote a very interesting and very long
letter concerning the manufacturing
interests Of Alabama and the Southern
States generally The National Intel
ligencer, Of Washington, in comment
ing on it, said
A new era for industry has opened
for the Southern States, and the soon
or the people accommodate themselves
10 it the better for them and for the
whole country, With involuntary la
Dor has vanished the old system OF
planting, with its large crops and
profits, and expensive living, and the
neglect of those resources which at
tract good husbandry and mechanics
industry White labor or hired black
labor will be employed in the field, but
on a smaller scale of culture, producing
as much, after while, in the aggregate
as the old system, but with its prohts
difiused among greater number OF
persons and families.
The South has heretofre depended
on the North, not only for cotton
goods, but every other article the pro-
duct of the loom, the anvil or the
lathe, or of any sort of machinery or
manual labor-from rat-traps, and
toys up to steam engines. Nota fash
ionable carriage, nor hardly common
light wagon or buggy, was made in the
South. Nearly all the manufactures
of cotton used in the South were pur-
chased in the North. Not even broom,
basket, or axe handle, could be OBJ
tanned without paying tribute to Nor
thern thrift and industry 1t was not
enough that the North should have the
chief profit derived from the cotton
culture of the South, but 1T
must also be really forced to
take the entire profit upon all
articles of consumption which the
the South received in return for their
staples. In addition to this, the South
depended upon the Northwest for ba-
con, flour, lard, butter, and even for
corn meal Such a system could not
but end in ruin if long continued, and
if the war had not broken it up, 1t
must have led to ultimate bankruptcy
and general impoverishment.
Gov. Patton understands the lessons
Of experience, and dropping politics
for the while--as we hope other South
ern statesmen will do--he undertakes
to show the Southern people how they
may improve their vast resources. 1t
is to the interest of Northern manu-
featuring and commercial classes to
cultivate the kind relations with the
Southern people. Hostile and pro
scriptive acts will only serve to drive
them to resort to their own resources
in all branches of industrial effort.

London is a world in itself. The
last English census developes the Gu
rious fact that there are more Scotch
men in London than in Edinburg,
more Irish than in Dublin, more Ro-
man Catholics than in Rome, and more
Jews than in Palestine. Next to Lon
don, perhaps, New York is the most
cosmopolitan of cities. 1t has not so
many Scotchmen as Edinburg, but ac-
cording to the census it has nearly as
many Irish rs Dublin, while, as q
German city, it is probably the third
in the world, ranking next to Berlin
and Nienna.

INTERESTING TO WHITE SOLDIERS
The Paymaster General will immedi-
ately commence, says the National
Intelligencer, the payment of bounties
to colored soldiers, under the joint
resolution Of Congress, approved
June 26, 1866. 1t is estimated that
the payment of these bounties will
involve the expenditure of 100000.
These immediate payments are only for
the niger; the sckite soldier entitled to
his extra 500, must stand back
awhile for Sambo-sOme of the Gov
eminent officials estimating that the
delay will be from three 10 sir Years.
