CHoLKRA.-Telegraphic reports from the East
state that fifty deaths from this disease have occur
red in single day in Memphis, and I've al Fort
the army and emigration across the plains, and
is slowly bat surely making its way westward.
and il behooTes Us TO be prepared for il when 1t
reaches this coast The fact that the telegraph is
silent in regard 10 its appearance in Chicago Gin
cinnati, ST. Louis, other eastern cites where it
usually prevails extensively in cholera seasons, is
probably owing TO the sanitary measures adopted
TO preventit. Il is now well understood hat this
scourge Of the human family may be robbed of half
its terrors by the timely adoption of appropriate
sanitary measures. and its appearance in epidemic
form prevented altogether. Could our entire pop
ulation be aroused to the importance Of setting
their houses in order, together with their cellars,
backyards, vaults, sewers, sinks and drains, the
removal OF all rubbish and fifth OF whatever name
and nature, the plentiful of lime in whitewash-
ing, the chloride Ct lime as dsinfectant as each
and every one can do, much disease, suffering and
death may be warded of. By the adoption of such
simple precautions, all ranks and conditions, high
and low, rich and poor, may so purify their prem
ises as to render them comparatively safe against
epidemic cholera or other disease. Timely atten
ton should be given to the subject.

A Periloug Situation.

On Saturday the sloop Miriam and
Caroline, Captain Lyon, arrived at this
port from BlufFton, s. c., having on
board eight men who were rescued from
a raft of timber which had gone out to
sea. The raft came from South Carolina.
The manager of the same, a white man,
being asleep when it reached the mouth
of the river, it was carried out by the
tide to sea. They found themselves
passing the ship Tasmania, at Tybee,
and called for rope % secure the raft,
but being unheeded, they were swept
along until opposite Tybee Light, when
the keeper put out in his boat and
rescued the crew, seven colored men
and one white man, who were brought
to Savannah, as above stated, by the
Miriam and Caroline. The raft being
left to its fate, it was broken up on the
breakers, and lines the shore of North
