~ EVENING STAR. W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Preprieter. WASHINGTON CITY: FRIDAY...... NOVEMBER 3, 1865. SPREADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE BER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE CHOLERA. The Chorera is still advancing in Europe, and there is very little ground for the hope that it will not visit this continent. The epidemic Hirst became alarming in Egypt, where it was introduced by pilgrims returning from Mecca and . Cholera exists every year, more oT less, alnong the caravans of Musselmans ar- Fiving in these holy cities, after fatigues and | Privations which render them liable to mala- dies. This predisposition is favored by their camping in the open air exposed to a torrid heat, and the influence of miasma arising irom Accumulations of filth and putrified remains of animals offered in sacrifice. From Suez the pestilence swept over Egypt and along the highways of commerce to the coasts of Asia Minor and Southern Europe, untii it has seized wpon Paris and entered the suburbs of London All the investigations that have been made con- cerning this mysterious plague have resulted only in the discovery that uncleanliness inyites it, and that its premonitory symptoms may be successfully taken advantage of by the prompt use of proper remedies. Quarantine offers no barrier to its approach. All the restrictions that can be placed on arriving vessels prove futile, the disease suddenly appearing in cities where such precautions are most rigidly enforced. In all its former ‘visitations to this country, it has appeared in rom three to four weeks from its breaking out in any foreign city having rapid or direct com- munications with our own ports. The pre- monitory stage is ushered in by a mild and painless diarrheea, which continues for hours, sometimes for days, before the period of col- Japee. in this stage it is readily cured by the patient retiring to bed and keeping warm and quiet. What is most important is to knew ‘whether the diarrhea is choleraic or not; and if so, it may be arrested by the use of the fol- lowing remedies, prescribed by the most emi- nent Paris physicians, and invariably found to be efficacious : “Peppermint, of which the patient must drink half a cupfull every quarter of an hour; it is to be taken quite hot, sweetened, and with the addition of two table-spoonsful of rum or old cognac, together with twenty drops of tinc- ture of cinnamon. Perspiration is then pro- duced, and the infusion is continued till the motions are checked. Three hours generally suffice for this. If the medicine thus adminis- tered promote signs of intoxication, this is to be regarded as a fayorable sign of recovery; if it cause vomitings, then it is to be discontinued, and a small glass of old cognac or of green chartreuss is to be substituted in its place, which is to be taken every quarter of an hour. ‘When the disease has reached its crisis, it is generally necessary to confine the treatment mainly to alcoholized aromatics, energetic fric- tions, injections not too strongly etherized, rub- bing of the limbs, and to use every suitable means for increasing the circulation and ex- citing the nevous system.” But prevention is easier than cure. All the Statistics prove that where cleanliness has been preserved the epidemic has been very light, and in some instances it has passed en- tirely over cities in its track which adopted strict sanitary measures, although there were thousands of cases of painless diarrhea. In former visitations of cholera many English towns organized a body of visitors under the the direction of a central medical board, whose duty it was to visit from house to house seve- Fai times each day and inquire for such cases. Each visitor carried the proper remedies, and this, with a close observance of the sanitary Jaws, soon checked the epidemic. Statistics prepared by the Paris Academy show that at tirmat time out of 130,000 visitations in Engiand, 6,000 persons narrowly escaped real cholera, ‘while only 350 actually bad the disease. In other words, the system of visitation prevented 5,750 cases of cholera. These facts are of the ‘Utmost importance to our citizens. Self-pres- ervation demands an immediate cleaning not only of the streets and gutters but of the kitch- ens, yards and privies, anda constant vigilance an preventing any acc: cautions we may avert great Mortality, possi- bly escape a visitation of the cholera alto- gecher. ee THE PUBLIC DEBT.

Lord Palmerston would be buried quite pri- vately, at Romsey, on the 25th. The journals continue to lament his loss. The Daily News says the reported ultimatum from Seward has dwindled down to a state- ment that Seward had written to Bigelow ex- ressing the earnest desire of the American overnment to remain at peace with the world, but intimating that Congress would demand extreme measures if additional troops were sent to Mexico. The Patrie cays Bigelow abstained neces- sarily irom any reflections upon French in- tervention upon his interview, but that is un- im nt. he Globe's correspondent at Paris says Mr. Bigelow called at the foreign office to contra- dict the sensation telegrams.

DISPATCH FROM THE PRESIDENT TO THE GOV- ERNOR OF GEORGIA. . The following is the dispatch sent by Presi- dent Johnson to the Governor of Georgia: Exxoutive Mansion, WasuHineton, D. U., Oct. 28, 1865.—To James JoMmson, Provisional Governor, Milledgeville, Georgia: Your dispatch has been received. The ple of Georgia should not hesitate one single moment in repu- diating every single dollar of debt cfeated for the purpose of aiding the rebellion against the Government of the United States. It will not do to levy and collect taxes from a State and people that are loyal and in the Union to pay a debt that was created to aid in taking them out, and thereby subverting the Constitution of the United States. 1 do not believe the great mass of the = of the State of Georgia, when left uninflu- enced, willever submit to the payment of a debt which was the main canse of bringing on their past and present suffering—the result of the rebelllion. Those who invested their capital in the cre- ation of this debt must meet their fate and take it as one of the inevitable results of the rebel- lion, though it may seem hard to them. It should at once be made known, at home and abroad, that no debt contracted for the pur- pose of dissolving the Union can, or ever will, be paid by taxes levied on the people for such purpose. ANDREW JOHNSON, President United States, FREEDMEN’S AF#AIRS—SINGULAR PRE- JUDICE OF FREED PEOPLE AGAINST NORTHERN STATES. Capt. W. F. Spurgin, Superintendent of Freedmen for the District of Columbia, has forwarded his report to the Freedmen’s Ba- reau for the month of October. During the month 120 applications were received for ser- vants, all from the District and Maryland. Many applications were received from the North, but owing Mie ae gem existing among the freed pe le, nculcaied while in slavery, against the Northern States, they were not filled. Fitty-fives males and forty-six females were furnished with homes during the month. In this number there was many families, hay- ing several children each. During the same eriod, 100 rations were issueu daily at the sou iouse, corner of New gore! avenue and E streetsouth. From this one hundred rations, the average number receiving assistance daily Was 22 men, 120 women, and “6 children. Total humber assisted daily, 227. Most of these peo- ple have been drawing rations for months, and are really destitute. Some are compelled to apply temporarily for assistance on account of sickness. Rations are furnished them when found deserving, and withdrawn as soon as the necessity for using them ceases, a ee DEATH OF A GALLANT AN STIN- GUISHED OPFicER- neil Lieut. Colonel John G.

R. was one of the oldest officers in tne corps, having entered the service in the month of May, 1824. He was distinguished as atac- tician, and for his skill in organizing and pro- ducing discipline in bis commands. Col. R. was breveted for distinguished services in the Mexican war, and during the late rebel- lion was at all times assigned to important commands. He commanded the Marines at the first battle of Bull Run, in which his com- mand was distinguished for gallantry in the field and its subsequent freedom from demor- alization during the retreat. At a later period he was assigned to the command of a large battalion of Marines, which co-operated with Charleston, and which, on its subsequent re- turn to this city, attracted much attention bi it ssoldierly behavior and accuracy of drill and movement.
