CHOLERA In NASHVILLE.
The Exodus of People-The Situation up TO
Thursday.

Thursday.
The Nashville Banner of Thursday
says:
There was considerable exodus out of
the city Yesterday, but not so many as
might have been expected, large majori-
ty preferring to remain where they can re-
ceive speedy treatment in case of an attack.
It is estimated that not less than 1O,O 600
people have departed the city since the 7th
instant. The city looked very dull yester..
day, wearing the general appearance of
Sunday. 1t is the belief of many that had
S., 900 been spent in April in the way of
putting the city in a thorough sanitary con-
dition near million dollars might have
been saved to our commerce.
There are between eighty and ninety
convicts sick at the penitentiary, the ma
jority of them with the cholera. So far
there has been only two deaths. They are
generally in good condition.
Some citizens have been compelled to
clean their premises after the imposition
of heavy penalties for their negligence.
The feeling against nuisances never was
stronger, and the popular voice says all
must be abated. To place nuisance in
front of ones premises, is now equal to a
challenge for fight.
A good deal of fatality has recently re-
suited from change of physicians. A case
in point happened Tuesday: One physi-
clan was called in and prescribed. Not be-
ing satisfied, however, with his treatment
the friends of the patient called in another,
whose treatment was almost entirely di-
ferent. 1t exhibited the fact that one
should not ''swap horses while crossing
a stream"
Physicians say that cholera infantum
should not be classed as cholera. as that
disease was usual to all infants teething.
Harry Boyers and G. Friedman, letter
carriers, were Frustrated with the disease
yesterday. There are now five of the car
riers down with the disease, including
Carr, Fuller and Lewis. The delivery of
mails on their routes have been suspended
until further notice.
Three colored drivers of the city scaven-
ger carts have died of cholera during the
past three days.
During the past two days hacks and car
riages have been kept constantly going to
funerals and the various cemeteries. They
have been so busily engaged that most all
the stock have been driven down.

| ALCOHOL AS A MEDICINE.-DT. Beale, in the
Scientific and Sanitary Departments OF the

cases of prospective or severe fever, aud also,
advises its use as a stimulent by old people,
1t is subject worthy Of grave consideration,
whether there is not danger to be apprehend-

authority. Cases are not rare Of men addict

tory resolutions, to the use of stimulanls rec
