SITUATION AT CAMP Low.
No Cholera, But People Make Them
scycs Ill by Guttony.

QUARANTINE, Sept. 20.-Dr. Walser
was asked by United Press reporter
in regard to the reported outbreak of
cholera at Camp Low. He Is inclined
TO dlscredit the report. He said: 81
examined nearly all the passengers be-
fore they were transferred from Hotf-
man island to Camp Low, and found no
traces of cholera among them. What
tn etrouble is, | think, is just this:
These people who have lived upon
nothing but black bread, cabbage and
potatoes, come here and are fed on
roast beef and things they are unaccus-
toned to and glut themselves. They
have been half starved, and this eat
ing so much would naturally bring on
dIarrhoea trouble. Some emigrants
have told me that last winter they
lived only on cabbage and potatoes.

Fodes, of this CITY, who was one Of Gen.
Lees couriers, says he can procure aft
davits of thirty men in this county to
prove the fasity of Gen. Fields insinua-
ton that Gen. Lee either encour-
aged or allowed any depreciation to
be committed by his soldiers while
in Pennsylvania His orders were rigidly
enforced and all damage to private prop
erty was punished whenever reported.
80 particular&as he" said Mr. Rhodes,
that on one occasion while passing
through Pennsylvania. Gen. Lee came
upon several of his soldiers, among them
certain officers, who were in cherry
trees satisfying their hunger. Gen. Lee
stopped, and calling a courier, sent to
the owner of cherries to ask permission
before he would touch one of them.
The lady Of the house not only consented
but on hearing that General Lee had
made the request, sent waiter of fruit
to the confederate chieftain and went in
person to extend the permission asked.
Any statement that carries the idea that
General Lees conduct in Pennsylvania
was other than honorable is the basesl
! kind OF falsehoOd.
