CHOLERA RAVAGEs.

AN&aAss ~ D"ys
CALCUTTA, Aug. %, 1869. Although at
Umritsir, Agra and several other places
which have been attacked, cholera has
sensibly abated, it is still raging in many
districts in various parts of the country
with fearful violence, and the total DEATH
rate is, at the very lowest estimate. 400 a
day. Since 1858 there has been no hot
season so fatal as the present to Europeans.
All through the Northwest provinces the
pestilence is making sad ravages. At
Gwalior the deaths are from 60 to 100 a
day, and Sepree, Bhopar and Sehore are
suffering heavily. The scourge seems, in
deed, to be steadily marching along the
Agra road to Bombay At Indore the ma
tive Rajah has made the people offer sac
rifces outside the city walls, with bare
heads and dry ehupatties, but without any
marked success, as upwards of 1000 men
have persisted during the past three weeks.
All through Malwa the horrors Of pestilence
are aggravated by the privations Of famine,
especially among the thousands Of pilgrims
who have been visiting the shrine of Om-
car, and are now obliged to remain in that
district until the rains are over. From
Southern India we hear almost equally
gloomy tidings At Hyderabad the cholera
has made terrible mroads, and at Madras
and all the other main centres of popula-
ton it has had more or less victims.

notwithstanding the positive assertions of

mitted in writing to the Walker party in
Virginia. have no doubt, however, he
has permitted the members of his Csbi-
net to pursue what course each may see
proper to mark out for himself individ
ually. The best evidence that the Cabi.

point is that the Secretaries of State,
War and Interior, cannot be prevailed
upon to indorse the renegade Stokes.

General himself significantly approves Of
the latitude granted by the President to
the extremists, and it is limited that the

Nth a design No one here believes
that General Grant is inimical to the
election Of his brotber-in- law to the Gov
eruorship of Mississippi. The latter
success is beyond peradventure, as is
also that of Senter in Tennessee.
A deep incentive is, therefore, attrib-
uted to eur excellent Chief Magistrate.
By committing the extremists to the pro-
scriptive dogmas Of Butler and the car
pet-bsggers, and planting himseLf firmly
upon the liberal ideas of his father.in-
law and brother-in-lsw in Mississippi, and
recognizing the plan of the " Conserve
