OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH,
RICHMOND, August Ii, 1866.

conference.-the would respectfully re-
port that since our last monthly commu-
nication was made to your body the health
of the city has continued very good; in
deed, better than usual at this season OF
the wear. While there have been several
severe cases of cholera morbus, there has
been no tendency to an epidemic. No
case of genuine cholera has been reported
to this office.
We are happy to be able to announce
that there has been much less tendency to
febrile diseases and affections which gene
rally prevail during the summer months.
This fortunate condition of things we
attribute to the active measures author
lied by the Council, by which the streets
and alleys were cleanscd; and further
more, to the aid extended the citizens
in the removal of garbage, etc. While the
citizens have generally availed themselves
of the facilities thus offered them, cases
daily occur in which the ordinance is dis
regarded, and these substances are depo-
sitcd in the streets. The provisions of the
ordinance requiring the sweeping out of
the cutters have been generally neglected,
and we are satisfied that there has been
great remissncss on the part of the police
officers in reporting these cases to the
Mayor.
Owing to imperfect drainage in many
parts Of the city, and the restriction i'm
posed upon the citizens in the use of the
city water, the cutters became offensive.
This we shall cndcavor to countcract by a
more free use of gas-housc lime.
From the monthly report of the efficient
Superintendent of the City Hands" we
find that during the last month eight thou
sand one hundred and eighteen loads OF
garbage have been removed beyond the
city limits, and three thousand two hun
drcd and ninety one loads of gravel have
been deposited on the streets of the city
We respectfully call your attention to
the condition of the Second Markct-houSc
From personal observation we find that the
swccpngs of the markct-hOuse and adioin-
ing streets are allowed to remain from
Saturday until Monday on the vacant lot
adjoining the vegetable market.
We respectfully repeat the suggestions
heretofore made as to the utility and me-
ccssity of placing stencil traps at all the
openings of the public sewers. And We
would again call the attention OF the Coun-
ell to the condition of what is known as
Eictor's mill-pond and race, in the Valley,
and to the suggestions heretofore made by
us for the abatement of this nuisance.
Respectfully,
f. w. HANCOCK, President.

Gil of the citu Of Richmond.

FIGHTING IN THE STREET.-The peace
which has so long reigned serenely over
our city was interrupted yesterday by
! two or more fights, the most serious Of
which occurred on Main between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets. 1t appears that
an ey-Confcdcrate sergeant by the name
of Edward T. Voolfolk, hailing from either
| ucnrico or Caroline county, who had evil
IDENTIFY been partaking rather too freely OF
fighting whisky, saw two United States
soldiers coming up the street leading a
drunken comrade. Voolfolk accostcd
them, and, We are informed, made use OF
some very insulting language. The SOL
dicrs did not seem to desire difficulty,
but Voolfolk persisted in his abuse, when
! he was taken into store; but he broke
loose and ran into the street, when the
spectators concluded to let them have falr
play, and he pitched, without ceremony,
into one of the soldiers, named William
Hicks, who returned blow for blow with a
will, and gave Voolfolk pretty severe
whipping, cutting and bruising his face
quite badly. Policeman Fariss seeing the
crowd, thought something was going on,
and rushed up, when he found the comba-
tants rolling and tumbling upon the
ground, and arrested both and took them
| to the second station-house. The sequel
will transpirc before the Mayor this morn
! ing.
Another fight took place between two
soldiers near the First Market, and at
tracted a large crowd, consisting chiefly of
negroes and dogs. They became quite
hotly engaged, when policeman appeared
upon the scene, an armistice was declared,
and hostilitics suddenly ceased.

SICKNESS AT CAMP JACKSoN.-We heard
it stated upon the street yesterday that
cholera was prevailing at Camp Jackson
that there had been ten deaths there
within two or three days from this disease
Upon investigation we learned that two
soldiers belonging to one of the companies
stationed there had died of the symptoms,
which the attending surgeons pronounced
cholera, and that five other members OF
the same company were sick at this time
with similar symptoms. We also learned
that the members of this company had
stolen green corn from a field near the
camp, and had eaten very heartily of it
and it is more than probable that all OF
these cases were cholera m0rbuS, induced
by their own imprudencc. The health OF
the new recruits lately received here is
excellent.
We have heard rumor Of the existence
of cholera among the United States troops
at the Old Fair Grounds, but a gentleman
who was there yesterday assures us that
such is not the fact. There is good dea
of sickness, but no cholera.

satisfaction to our citizens. Mr.. Ralston
is an old and highly esteemed citizen, and
is perfectly convcrsant with the duties of
the Office to which he has been elected,
having served four years as a clerk of the
late lamcnted Auditor. His gentlemanly
bearing and affability will insure all who
have business with him of courteous treat
ment. We congratulate the Council on
their selection, and our citizens in having
a gentleman so well fitted for the position.

KUNKEL's NIGHTINGALE OPERA TR0UPE.,.
This company of real stars (Which show
their brightness through darkness) .com-l
menced series of entertainments at Ne.
tropolitan Hall on Monday night last. The
audience was one of the most brilliant and
fashionable that ever attended an exhibit,
tion of the sort in RchmOnd--a most
auspicious beginning, which We hope wilt
be followed up by succession of good\
houses, lasting until the close Of the en-
gagement. The performances were both
chaste and attractive, much above the
common order Of Ethiopian minstrelsy,
and in fact, We should have anticipated
nothing less from any company of which
George Kunkel is the head. 1t reminded
us really Of the good old times when We
had never heard the boom of cannon except
on the 4th of July, and had never Witness
ed the grim horrors of desolating war.
The Nightingales will continue their per-
formanccs throughout the week, giving q
matinee on Saturday for the especial ac-
commodation of ladies and children; and
our readers may take our word for II that
they will fulfil their promises TO the very
letter. Go and see them. A few hours
in company with mirth and music will do
you no harm, but, on the contrary, benefit
you materially.
