From the Country.

The few people who venture in from the
country, bring startling reports of cholera
raging in our midst. A general alarm
seems to prevail throughout this and ad-
Joining counties and the result is that near
ly every body is afraid to come to town.
where the truth can be learned, ONLY q
few miles out they have various conflict
ing reports of persons falling down in the
market house and on the streets. A man
from the eighth district heard that an en-
glneer starting out with his train fell down
in his engine and expired almost instantly
with the disease. The citizens of Whites
burg had the report yesterday, that twenty
deaths from cholera had occurred here Per-
sons away from town very generally believe
that Knoxvillians are attempting to con-
ceal the truth from them, and in some
places man from the city would almost
run the risk of personal injury, according
to reports, were he to attempt to introduce
himself too familiarity into the commune
ty. Excited individuals read our dispatch
es from Nashville and other points, and
without looking at date line address, or
anything else, and without thinking that
the report is from elsewhere, give us the
credit OF the "A or 80 deaths from cholera.
as the case may be. Such panic has not
stricken the country since the days of
Fishing Creek or the invasion of Long
street. There is not a single case of cho-
era in Knoxville, and we hope there will
not be.

THE RAIN.
Damage to Crops and Railroads.

The rain, which began to fall night be-
fore last and continued during most of the
forenoon yesterday, seems to have been
very heavy throughout the surrounding
country. By daylight, all the small
streams were swollen to raging torrents,
and as the day advanced the larger creeks
rose rapidly and overlooked their banks.
Besides making the ground too wet for
blowing for several days, the damage to
growing crops will be in no wise INSIGHT
can't Much meadow land in the low bot
toms has been overlooked, and the grass.
which was nearly ready to cut, has been
sanded and so filled with dirt as to be al
most ruined, Where not overlooked, the
grass is in many places very much down,
though but little injury is expected from
this. Oats are also down to some extent
which will occasion more or less damage.
The corn is likewise Frustrated consideTa-
bly,, owing to the softening of the ground
and the weight of water. This will in
most cases come up all right after few
days OF fair weather and sunshine.
A number of land-slides occurred on some
of the railroads, The train from Chatta-
nooga was delayed about an hour by a
small slide mile or so east of Concord.
The morning train on the Knoxville and
Ohio Road was delayed by heavy slide in
the Chestnut ridge cut, and did not arrive
here till four o'clock in the afternoon. We
nave heard of no very great damage.

How She Got Cleared.

Hon, d. X. Young is presiding over the
Criminal Court by interchange with Hon.
M. l.. Hall. He is pushing things lively
for the cri minals and shipping them off.
Yesterday an old visitor at the courts
who has never been well enough to re-
spond to an Indictment when wanted,
came out from Jail to the court room, look
ing pale and detected. About the time her
case was called shefell from her chair on

"Snicide Made Easy"

If any of our readers contemplate early
suicide, they now have golden opportu-
nifty. Only drink gallon or two of mean
whisky, eat about peck of stale vegeta-
bles, sleep in a filthy room, let your back
lots and privies get so filthy that you can
get good stencil through your back doors
and windows, and you will have little else
to do IfyOu are doing any of these things
now, we take it as fair notice to your
neighbors that you are tired of life, and
want to take a voyage into the great I'M
known future" We would suggest that it
might save some trouble if you would just
step into the undertaker's office, and have
your measure taken for an outfit.

Death of aiss Alice Hnxnes:

The death of the daughter of Col. L. C..
Haynes, which occurred in Memphis on
the 26th inst, is thus noticed by the Ap-
peat. Having formerly resided in Knox
vile IT will be of interest to some of our
East Tennessee readers. The appeal says
Unmurmuring and submissive through
out her short but painful sickness, she met
death with a clear and unclouded mind,
a serene composure, and died like chris
tian and philosopher. Her remarks in bid
ding adieu to her relations are represented
as eloquent and painfully affecting. She
knew the pulse of life was fiuttering weak
and low in her fevered veins, but the reli-
gion she protested and practiced lit up the
dark and dismal valley of death.

Mineral Excitement.

A report reaches us from Sewer county.
of the probable discovery of silver at a
place in that county, known as the grape
yard" An old mine has been opened to
some extent, and utensils consisting of
picks, spades and crucibles, used by some
unknown race of the past, have been
found. The oldest inhabitants are unable
to give any account of the mystic "money
diggers." The vein of ore has not vet
been reached, but fragments of nearly
pure silver, one of the pieces about the size
of walnut, have been taken out. The
mine is in cave, which opens in a corn>
field on the land of Squire H. B. Baker.
A hand-spike was found which being
picked up, crumbled into dust, showing
that the length oftime, which has elapsed
since the former working of the mine has
been very great. The discovery was made
by Mr.. Lord, living south of the river in
this county. Our informant was present
at an exploration of the cave, and saw a
number of the fragments of silver ore,
which have been found. Considerable ex-
element is said to prevail over the discnv-
cry.

The Health or Nashville.

The Nashville Union and american re-
viewing the health of the city for twenty
years ON tables reported by DR.. Jones saws
ut would appear from these statistics
that the death rate of Nashville hos in
creased with the growth of the citv. This
increase in the death rate appears to be due
No several causes, but chiefly to the nro-
gressive crowding of the houses along the
narrow streets, the filling up OF the low
lands along Lick branch and Wilson'S
spring branch with offal and filth of ali
kinds; the extension of the city along and
over the low grounds the absence of all
parks for exercise and pleasure, and the
absence of any regular system of sewerage
and drainage
Comparing the deaths of 1866 and 1873,
it says:
There were 670 death by cholera in the
month of September, 1866. We have re-
ports from the 9TH to the 3Sth of this month
inclusive of597 deaths by the disease and
we think it safe to say that at least hun
dred should be added for deaths that oc-
Cured before the 9TH and of others who
found burial through other sources than
the regular undertakes during the preva-
lence of the disease. These facts seem to
indicate that the present visitation of chol-
era IS more virulent than that of 1867
Knoxville weekly chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1875, 1873-07-02
No Need for Alarm.

The advices from Nashville all concur
that whenever there has been prudence in
diet, there has been no cholera. Nine out
of ten deaths come from imprudent diet.
Why then is there cause for alarm. Peo-
pie can control their diet! When the dis
ease comes, if promptly taken, it can be
arrested. Why, then flee, from beautiful
location. Flight only creates terror in
those who can not get away. Let men Of
prudence and prominence stand firm and
inspire confidence in the timid and pan
icky.
The Union and american accounts for
the fearful mortality there, in Nashville. 1t
says:
"From some of our we'll known physi-
clans we learn that the disease yields read
lily TO treatment, and there is no cause of
alarm # the proper medicine is given to
the patient at the commencement. The
reason of the large number of deaths par
ticularly in the Tenth District, was from
the want of medicines and attention, aud
now having received both, gratifying de-
crease ID noticed"

No CHOLERA IN KNOXVILLE
Time 60 BE Cantinn.

We are glad to report that the excellent
health of Knoxville continues. We have
thus far been spared beyond all reasonable
expectations. 1t will seem almost mir
acle if we escape entirely.
Now is the time to be cautious. The
news continues good from every direction.
But this should not lead our people to re-
lax their prudence or caution. Continue
both and if there is any change let it be to
greater care in diet and exercise. Let our
city authorities continue in their good
work. The hard rain has cleansed the
city thoroughly. Let disinfectants fol-
low to-day, with prudence in diet. and
it will be surely rewarded. 1t would be a
great advantage to us as a city if we again
escape this dreadful scourge. By care we
may do it.

Cholera is all the topic this morning, as
a Mrs. Quinn, who arrived here last Thurs
day from Greeneville, was attacked by the
malady on Friday and died last night. She
was stopping at Esquire ID. HeiskelPs.
There have been several attacks of cholera
morbus, but none fatal. We hope the dis
ease will not spread, as the good people
have been preparing for it for ten days by
cleansing their cellars &C., and using dis
infectants.

Carving News Abroad.

We have heard that some of the scared
citizens who left home last Wednesday in
great haste after the death of one ofou cit
liens from cholera morbus, carried with
them very exaggerated news of the health

yesterday with reluctance, relying upon
the false stories of death and desolation
spread abroad through the country.
When they found out that not a single
case had been heard of but the fatal one
referred to, and that every body here was
easy and tranquil, they laughed at their
fears. Business was as brisk os usual, and
the city as full of strangers as on ordinary
