Cholera in Memphis.

MEMPHIS, JuI 4.-For the past ten
days disease has prevailed here, which,
at first, the physicians pronounced cholera
morbos or malarial fever, but no alarm was
felt yesterday when the physicians
severally agreed that it was cholera, some
chasing it as sporadic and others as
Asactic. Thus far its ravages have been
chiefly confined to negroes and laboring
classes, and in the absence of the Board on
Health it is difficult to estimate the num-
Der of fatal cases. The doctors say the dis
ease, if promptly attended to yields readily
tc treatment. Among the latest victims
was George More, of the Memphis and
Louisville Transfer Company, who died
last night. Reports from the town below
here on the river says the disease prevails
there also, but there is little excitement in
regard to it.
