The cholera at aa,iatin.

We clip the following from the Gallatin
EJ Gmsner extra, June IL, P. M:
To-day may be recordedas the panic dav
in the history of the cholera at Gallatir,
As our extra of yesterday went to press, we
reported the deaths from cholera at five. A
short time afterwards Two more were added
to the list, making the total seven. Early this
morning reports few thick and fast that
there was an increase in the number, and
that several white persons had been at
tackled. Mr.. Alderman, of Moore's Drug
sto.e, was reported as attacked severely.
MIR. Jacob Sackst =der, the well-known house
and sign painter, was, also, attacked about
2 O'Clock, and died about Q o'clock. He had
been more or less spreeing for some weeks,
and had eaten vegetables without stint.
Large numbers Of persons set off for the
country, including several families. The
streets now wear the appearance of de-
serted village. NJ 1st of the stores remain
open, but without customers. An order
was made by TIE authorities that well
known prescription should be prepared by
the druggists and placed in the houses of
all persons. The larger portion of the col
ored population have been without RENE
dies at hand. We hear of large number
Of cases in the fats north of Gallatin.
Among the deaths in the country, near
Gallatip, was Mr.. Powell, the landlord of
the National Hotel at the depot, who re-
moved his own family, with that Of Mr.. j.
Z. Howard, of he same house, last week.
Ae died this morning. We bear that other
members Of the two families are also down.
Various rumors of sickness in other por-
tons of the county reach us, but we are
unable to verify them. io1 111

yond the Fair Ground, was attacked this

From the Gallatin Examiner Extra.
GALLATIN, June Is, p. M.-The
streets to-day wore the same lock of gloom,
though we imagine that the spirits of the
people are shade improved by the bright
sunshine, and brisk westerly winds. Last
evening about nighttal heavy rain fell,
with great deal of electricity, cooling the
atmosphere. 1t was noticeable that during
the prevalence of cholera in 1849, there was
an entire absence of the electric fluid dur
ing rains, with total disappearance of the
hous fly. On this visitation, We have fire.
Quent thunder showers and an abundance
of the fly. This difference of conditions is
subject for the consideration of scientists.
Does this argue the superior state of the
atmosphere now?
Among the deaths to-day was f. j. Wen
dell, coloIed school teacher. He was a
useful citizen, and bad gone fearlessly
among the pestilence.
DR.. r. E Moore, the druggist, who had
taken his fGnily to Eppersou Springs
Monday last, was returning with mr. D. B.
Anderson, of the First National Bank, yes
terday afternoon, when he was taken sick
on the road. He stopped at DR.. J. NJ.
Heads, where his father, DR.. Moore, ST.,
visited him last night, and brought him TO
town this noon. He is doing well and con-
sidered out of danger.
We hear of numerous cases in the coun-
try, but of no deaths.
Esq. Richard Z. Parker, on the Scots
vile road, who was attacked on Monday,
has recovered.
We hear, also, that Capt. j. B. Wal on
and Frank Alderman are regarded as con-
yalescent. Zach Lane, reported az cholera,
has fever.
Interments to-day, call colored.
