IT is proposed by the Boston Traveller as
the best method of bringing Great Britain to
terms, that we resort to non-intercourse for a
time. Says that journal: 'Non-intercourse
could not harm US; whereas war would do us
much mischief, even if we should run the race
in canter,-that being a game, as well has
been said, from which all parties rise losers.
Let us try the pressure of non-intercourse, and
see if that is not equal to the pressing of justice
out of Great Britain, though most persons,
we suspect, would think the process almost as
profitable, so far as justice is concerned, as
that OF squeezing turnips for blood. But il
we should get our claim admitted, it would be
all that we could fairly demand and we should
be satisfied with such result of the applica-
ton of the peine forte ct dure of non-inter.

hundred Africans was recently landed in the

The Secretary of the Treasury sent tele


gram to Senator E. d. Morgan, in this city to-


day. directing that ifthe Health Commissioners
of New York desired it, any blockade runner
in charge Of Commander Bell, at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, should be placed at their disposal
for the purpose of taking on board persons


who come to this port in any vessel or vessels
that may bring cases of cholera.


Mayor Gunther, to whom the subject was
referred, has written an order to the comman-
der Of the Navy Yard and vessel is to be
despatched to the lower quarantine as soon as
possible.


The passengers of the steamship Atlanta,


who have not yet been attacked by cholera, will


be taken on board this vessel. The cholera


patients are already, it is understood, on the


floating hospital, the Falcon; and any persons


amongst the number are given quarters on the
blockade runner, and those who become sick


will also go on board the hospital ship.


The Atlanta will then remain in charge of
the health authorities her baggage and her


cargo viii be fumigated, and the time when


she will be allowed to como to this city, if at


ALL is yet to be decided.


The passengers who have been exposed to


the epidemic will be detained at quarantine,


until more than seventeen days-the time al
lowed for the development of cholera after
exposure-shall have elapsed

The passengers of the steamsphip Europe,
| who have so urgently protested against their
confinement at Quarantine, are to be permit
ted to come to this city tonight, under the


orders of the Mayor, given after consultation


with the Health Officer and resident Physician.
They have been more than seventeen days on


the way from Havre, and no cases of disease
have occurred on board.


The vessel will then be fumigated so that
| the baggage, which was packed i'll Paris, will
contain none of the infection of cholera, and


the vessel will come to this city tomorrow
THE CHARACTER OF THE CHOLERA on THE AT
LANTA.


DR.. Walzer made a report yesterday IN re-
gard to the cholera patients of the Atlanta

more cases, and one person had died
The physician also wrote to Rowland AS
pinwall, the consignees of the Atlanta, saying
| he thought all had been done for the unfortu
nate passengers that circumstances admitted
| of. He added that the disease was Of mild
| type: though the present state of the weather
| might affect its character untavorably.
ACTION OF THE NATIONAL AUTHORITIES.
The subject of the approach of cholera has
| engaged the attention of the National authori-
ties. The Acting Surgeon General wrote to
the secretary OF Slale IN OCTOBER, recommends
| ing that he call the attention of the Governors


of the respective States to the spread of the
| cholera in Europe, with view of preventing
| the introduction of the disease into this coun-
| try. Some of the Governors of the seaboard
States to whom the intelligence sent hither by
our consuls from the Mediterranean ports was


communicated, took early action by recon-


mending sanitary reforms, and special mea-


sures for preventing the ravages of the disease.

The Panama correspondent of The Nsw

You may suppose that much have here

view of matters and things and have not
taken pains to inform myself properly as to
their true condition. will now give you
an outline of the conversation l had a few
evenings since with native of Panama-a
gentleman of education and refinement
one who knows and thoroughly understands
his country, and who would upon no ac-
count say anything against it. 1 wanted
some information on the subject, and frank
ly told him so, and what use l intended to
make of it. The first question | put was !:
"What is the population of the city OF
Panama and suberb (d7Taba)?" Answer
=" About twelve thousand, including for
eigners." Second-Ht What proportion of
the twelve thousand are pure tulite Z" An

casiOn he took census of an adjoining de-
partment of this State, and among eleven
hundred persons he found seven married

is very fair picture of the state of society
hereabout, and you will find 1t about on O
par--no worse-than other parts of the
world wherein the negro has, by mistaken
sympathy, been brought above his proper
level. From knOwledgeof what the South
ern States were prior to the rebellion, / feel
perfectly safe in asserting that--notwith-
standing Mrs. Stowe, Fanny Kemble Butler
and others-there were more legitimate
children born among the slaves than there
are among what is termed "freedmen."
Morality among them here is thing al
most unknown, and some OF the cases of
incest you hear of are of the most revolt
ing and disgusting character. l will say
one thing, however, in favor of the class
who are natives of this soil-that in every
thing they are. as far advanced above
the Jamaica negro as it is possible to be.
The latter has very likely acquired some
little education; this at once makes him
saucy, arrogant and desirous OF aping all
the manners and customs of the white men.
The Jamaica muatto is far worse, and can
excel the world for impudence, and in nine
cases out of ten is utterly worthless. They
are summed by the natives, and the lowest
term Que can use here towards black or
mulatto is to say that he is Jamaica mig

and is more telling in its effect than if you
were to use the vilest words known in the
English language. 1 had intended to dror
the black subject, but thought that little
information from the best source about
''Mosquerra's progress in civilization
would not be amiss, and might throw some

in the history of the country, North or

that resolution had been adopted exclu
ding colored men from participating in q
Fourth of July celebration And it wa.
represented to US that certain Copperhead
leaders, prominent in the Fire Depart
ment. bad put the thing through for the
purpose of making political capital. A
Fireman, however, states that such was
not the case and tba. the ljsct was rather
to secure q full turn out Of citizens BY
the movement, IS they we're under the
Impression that citizens had heretofore
declined to join the procession because
the colored men participated therein. We
think the Firemen were mistaken, but We
accept the explanation, aud if the motives
we're as stated, have no special fault to
find with them. Indeed, We are glad to
be assured that the Fire Companies we're
sctuated by no special hostility to "the
black man" in their proceedings, bu, only
intent on securing a general turnout of
the citizens in procession, and a glorious
celebration of the Fourth of July.


And now, that We have come to an un
derstanding on the subject, and the citi-
zens have manifested a very general
pra-eworthy and patriotic determination
to take hold of the matter in esrneet and
unite in forming grand procession credi-
table alike to the city and honorable to the
glorious occasion, We hope that the Fire

the way Of universal and harmonious
jubilation on the day consec,sted by our
