CGNCINNATI.-There was a sensation
produced here this afternoon by the official
announcement of DR.. William CIeodenin,
Health Officer of this city, that epidemic
cholera of the unmistakable ASiatic type
has appeared ia New Ooleaus. This state
ment was yarihed by an official transcript
Of the mortuary report of New Orleans for

number of deaths from that cause to be
eleven. The Health Officer warns the
citizens to use every precaution Of %cIeanli-
ness Of person and dwelling to guard
against the disease, reminding them that
the great epidemic Of 1649 was Transmitted
to this city from New Orleans by passen-
gers on the Steamboats,.
John Schenck, a noted cattle breeder Of
this county, took the disease in New Or
leans last week and died on the steamer on
the passage up day before yesterday. His
corpse arrived to-day. The New Orleans
papers have never mentioned the fact that
cholera is in the city, although it has been
ravaging the plantations on the Lower
Mississippi for three or four weeks past,
and is now so alarming in the city as 10
affect its business interest.
London.-Mr. George Smith, the Daily

tanning the history Of the Deluge hitherto
deciphered in the British Museum.

with a desperate resistance from the garfi-
son, but the commander of the Government
troops finally surrendered, under condition
that the lives Of his men should be spared.
Notwithstanding the terms of capitulation,
the Carlists butchered $50 volunteers, in
parties of six and eight, in the streets of

a change in thepolicy of thu talking oy OF

realize it until the bayonet is placed at
