From the Knoxville Press and Herald, Aug. T.
The news brought from Jonesboro by the
noon train, yesterday, confirmed our report
published Yesterday morning, that the dis
esse is fast abating. No deaths occurred
on Tuesdiy night, and at Z o'lock A. NJ.
yesterday, no new cases had develo ped
themselves. -.-
Later in the day, however, the reports
from the desolate town, grew unfavorable.
Information was received Of the death OF
Tresile, the liler at JonesborO, which took
place in the morning. 1t was also reported
that Rev. Mr.. Thrasher, Baptist minister at
Jonesboro, died Of cholera at Clarke's
Springs, thirteen miles from that place.
he lost child from the same disease, last
week. Last night we also learned that a
shoemaker living at Jonesboro, named
Shaver, died there last evening.
From the Knoxville Chronicle, Aug. !.
JoNEsBoRo, Aug. 6, $50 P. NJ This is
brighter and more cheerful evening to our
town. Tresler died as predicted. He and
Siger were both laboriDg under al organic
disease of the brain with cholera superad-
ded. The result Of the chlorine treatment
is still encouraging. Several new cases are
generally responding ndly to the treat
ment. W. r. SEWER
From the mail agent on the eastern
bouad traiE, we learned yesterday that a
Mrs. Wolf died of cholera, at Ool awah, on
Tuesday. -rs-- -r-H-HF7.
From the same source we learn that an
occasional death from cholera is still report
ed at Chattanooga, bat they are generally
the result Of grgss imprudence. ..
From gentleman Just from Clinton we
learn that ano her case of cholera has de-
velopad ITSELF 10 that viii sc, an old colored
woman named Whitson, who was reported
as dying yesterday morning. We are told
that she as well as the cOlored man that
died, received DO med cal attention, the
doctors in that town, either from fear or
some other pTetext refusing to go and see
them. If this nroves to be a fact, we do
not envy the Clinton people, should the
cholera break out there in earnest.
There was only one death yesterday ia
this city, colored child OF Calvin Smith, of
dropsy on the brain. Miss Floyd died Tues
day night after we had gotten up our re-
port. She was one of the cases reported as
cholera, but we understand there is some
difference Of opinion among the physicians
as to her case. We have heard rumOrs of
one or two new cases of cholera yesterday,
but DIR. Bailey, The health officer, informed
us last night that tEere were no new cases
in the city, and only thrve or four cases OF
anv kind, which were all do ng pretty
well.

7 A Startling Discrepancy.
A perplexipg discrepancy has been dis
covered in the official statement published
of the amount of gold in the Treasury on
Jane 80, 1873. 1t appears that on that
date the Secretary's report of the condition
of the national finances represented the
amount of gold on hand as S87,5O7, ,4O2.
1t has leaked out that the actral amount
was bnt 81, ,409, ,2S0, making a deficis of
SIC, ,407, 49, This discovery has created
considerable excitement in financial and
official circles. There are but four persons
in the department who are allowed to know
what the actual amount of coin on hand is.
An investigation is now making to discover
how this secret got out.
