Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-06-28

The last death, it viii be observed, Oc-
Cured on the twenty-fiTst. Since that
time no death has taken place, and bul
one new case has been reported, while,
of those already under treatment, all are
progressing favorably.
From all the information that we can
obtain, we are confident that there is
not more than two cases of cholera IN
our town at this time, and the cholera
excitement among our citizens has
nearly subsidized. There have been but
seven or eight deaths from the prevail
ing disease so far. We frequently hear
of persons, both in the city and country,
being affected with dysentery and SINH
lar complaints. But these disorders are
always prevalent at this season of the
year, and they are more numerous and
severer this season than usual, on ac-
count, doubtless, of the excessive damp
and rainy weather. Each one slightly
indisposed in this way at this time
notes and speaks of it. 1t is owing to
these facts that there has been so much
uneasiness in our community in regard
to cholera.-NItLJreesbOTo Monitor.
We promise our readers that we shall
give them a faithful report of the results
of cholera should it visit our city. We
do not propose to conceal anything. In
our issue yesterday we reported the
death of Mr.. r. II. Brown. His was a
case similar to the disease prevailing In
Nashville we presume, but his death
was certainly the result of imprudence.
There is no doubt of this. Some of our
leading physicians are not satisfied at
all that Mr.. Brown had anything more
ab,nlfa TrlA
CURED at any other time, it would have
been pronounced chOlera-morbus. Wild
rumors prevailed yesterday morning, a
number of gentlemen being reported
dead. We afterward saw them upon
the streets in good health. A careful
canvass of the city at the hour we write
mine o'clock in the EVENING", no case
can be found resembling cholera

Turning from the improved new
FROM Middle Tennessee to our sections
we find but little this morning to excite
any considerable degree Ofalarm. True,
the news from Greeneville is not so
favorable as we could wish, yet there is
no indication of the spread of the
disease, and there is reason for believing
that it has passed its climax, and will
soon let go its hold upon that afflicted
people. We understand one of the two
persons reported dead, is another child
of Mr.. Fred Mitchell, making two love-
ly children he has lost during the week.
Chattanooga reports three deaths from
cholera yesterday, with but little excite
ment prevailing among the People. Per-
sons who came from there yesterday in
form us that on Monday, when it be-
came known that the disease had made
its appearance, there was much excite
ment, but as it became further known
that every case was traceable directly
and unmistakably to imprudence of diet
and habit, better feeling was restored,
and yesterday, as indicated by our dis
patch, there was no evidence of panie.-I
RnoTUiIle Press and Herald.
Last Monday morning between one
and two O'Clock Mr.. S. ii. Miller was
shot on Academy street, near the house
of James Pryor, by an unknown party.
There are, of course, many versions of
the assassination, but the following is,
we believe, about the facts of this nays
terious affair, so far as known: Mr.. Mil
ler had been to- the depot with his
carriage to take his sister, who got aboard
the morning train. On his way
back, while on the public square, man
by the name of VIM. Tate got into a
difficulty. Mr.. Miller endeavored to
get Tate home, but was unable to do so.
He then went for Mr.. Taylor, Tate's
brother-in-law, for the purpose of get
ting him to assist in taking Tate home.
Just as Mr.. Miller passed out through
Mr.. Taylor's yard gate, on his return,
some unseen party halted him, with an
oath, and at the same time cooking a
pistol and firing it at him. Mr.. Miller
Immediately drew his own pistol and
fired, when his assailant fired second
shot at him, which took effect. Mr..
Pryor being awakened by his cries, went
out and found him lying near his gate,
unable to arise. He carried him into
his house, and Immediately sent for DIR.

that medical skill could do for the
wounded man. The ball had entered
the abdomen about an inch to the right
and a little above the navel and about
an inch below the stomach. The wound
was probed, but the location of the ball
was not ascertained, = MsETJTees6Ofo

We are permitted, says the Union and

Clarksville:
