Total.
The above report shows large Increase, and
is by far the most unfavorable since the disease
made its appearance. The worst day during the
cholera visitation Of 1866 footed up 70 Deaths
and the above report shows 2 in excess Of that
number. We closed our report at o'clock in
the evening, at which time orders we're still
being received by the undertakers.
The disease yesterday Was raging among the
colored people living out on tho Granny White
pike, Just beyond the city imite and it is doubt
fal whether the above report embraces all that
died lie IN TINT locality, as We hear it stated that
some coffins were made in that neighborhood to
meet tho demands. The colored undertaken in
the city had IL interments yesterday, but he was
SO busy that wo could not get from him either
the names or locality Of those be buried.

Seventy deaths are reported BY the undertakers

especially among the negroes Who 1eckleasly
disregard all ndmonitions and persist in eating
fruits and vegetables. So far, the centre OF the
city has almost entirely escaped the disease.

The weather to-day has been dry and oppres-
siYelY warm, and the first day without rain for q
month, which planters hail With delight and,
should it continue, there may yet be possible
chance for the reclamation OF about half their
cotton. which now is choked and covered with
rank weeds and grass, entirely obscuring it on
many plantations below here as far down as
Yicksburgh.
The change in the weather has also salubri-
Gus effect upon the mortality of the city, which
ne find, upon inspection OF all the undertakers'
books tonight to number eighteen interments,
Of which but nine we're from so-called cholera,
against eighteen yesterday.
1t il proper to state here that five persons, in
cluded in yesterdays and to-day's reports, died
from eating pastry, part Of tue ingredients OF
which had boen cooked in brass kettle and
their death is attributed solely to the verdig1is
in tho number, and the fifth is Indy who pa1-
took Of the same dinner. Tho cook who pre-
pared the meat is dying now, and for that reason
no authentic information can be obtained aa
to the exact cause OF the deaths. Up to the
present time, nine-tenths Of the cases To-
ported have bean negroes or ignorant whites,
who dwell in low portions Of tho city, and who
indulge freely in stale vegetables brought by
river from New Orleans and all tho remainder
Of the cases undoubtedly were occasioned by too
free indulgence in ice-cream and other like
trash; and we might add that even then, when
medical attention Was received in time, the
patient recovered in twenty-four hours.
