mm. ABOTRAOT OF DR. MAX PreTyNKOPER'S OPFICLAL RE- PORT TO TIE BAVABIAN OOVUNMENT ON CHOLEBA, NOW ADOPTED AXONY, WIRTEMBERG, AND OTH- ER GERMAN STATES. {From our Munich Correspondent.] ‘Dr. Pettenkofer examined the localities of every ‘mportant city in Bavaria visited by cholera, then ‘the locality of each street, and at last the condition -of each house, in which examinstion he was assisted ‘by several other physicians and the police of the place. He found that hie observations agreed en- rely with those mado by the Loxzdon physicians in 1848 and '49, and with Jameson's report to the medi- cal board at Bombay. Elevation and drainage are the best preventives against contazion, as the doc- tor illustrates by the oficial list+of mortality ineach street and in each house, given in separate tables in his report. He also shows, from the position of Wurzburg, Ratisbon, Porth, &c., that cholera never becomes epidemic in houses piaved on a rocky foun- dation, and that sand underlayed with clay forms the worst basis on which b:ildings may be erected.— Jameson, in his report, made « similar observation in India, and observed that “ciiolera does not seom to he fond of rocks.” The London report, in like «© Inanner, 6hows the diminished mortality in clevated «| places ; but it is the observ stion of Dr. Pettenkofe > that elevation ia the cauzo of greater health only * when it facilitates dvai ago. Elevation, without drainage, affords no protection againstcholera. This he proves by the progress of cholera in Nuremburg, Rigensburg and Freysing. On rocky or hard foundations the excrements of men and animals are carried off without being de- composed ; while in loose sandy soil, especialy when undertaid with cley, they are influitessimally divided, and by the process of putvesvence in gaseous form again communicated to the atmosphere, to which they rise by being specifically lighter than the liquids with which they are mixed. There is a specific germ of the disease in all excromeats proceeding from cholera patients, which is of course transferable to any place to which the patient may move or be car- tied. The disease is not inthe air, nor in the water, Ror communicated by contact. ‘The intensity of the disease in Munich, Angabarg and every other city examined by Dr. P., was in proportion to the drainage. The construction of the privies waa in nearly every instance the index to the malignity of the disease and the number of its victims. A series of tables, with the very names of the victims in each town, with an exact plan of the streets, and the condition of the houses, furnish con- _ clusive evidence of the Doctor's theory. He even shows that in one and tho same house poor people were exempt from the disease, while rich and atrong people became its victims whenever the faulty construc- tion of #wers promoted the developement of the dis- ease from the infecting matter being carried thither, either by a person sick with cholera, or with the diarrhoca immediately preceding it, in the progress of anepidemic. In every case the doctor furnishes positive proof that the disease was first carried to a place hitherto not infected by a person afflicted ‘with the malady or ita premonitory symptoms. Thus be proves that the cholera was first brought to Mu. nich by strangers from Italy, who came to the exhibi- tion ; that the house where the officers of the exhibi- ton daily assembled was first in showing symptoms of the discase ; that they carried the disease to the vari- ous streets they lived in; and thatthe houses thus first infected exhibited first the culminating point of the disease, and were algo first exempt from ft. This the doctor considers as conclusive of the fact that the -disease was carried there by the said officers, because the first {nfected are invariably those which are freed from it. At Freysing, in Bavaria, the extraordinary case ovecurred of the discase raging most on a “moun tain (the Domhernberg) and very little of it in the valley. On examining tho premises, the doc- tor fe the conical mountain to consist of ter- races rly walled up to prevent the earth from se pesgtehe tbe ds ‘ plane, and the soil to consist of heavy loam and saud. Through this arti- ficial cone the atmospheric precipitates aud the rities of human habitations have been_fil- age without regular drainage.

The doctor then Heyer who was firs attacked ty the dcase na the result was un follows: is 2 ra It is customary in the prison to take off and wash the soiled clothes of every new comer, label it and return it to tho prisoner ou his leaving the institntion, The female rs are detailed for that service in couples, which relieve each other from time to time. Names and are regularly inscribed in a book; and on examining that book it was found that Grasse’s clothes were washed, which was on the ‘21st of Angust, the day of his arrival in (the 20th of August) being a Sunday, it was Anna Maria Meyer's turn, and it was sho who of all the female penne. was first sent to the hospital. G ad been afflicted with diarrhoea before he arrived in prison, and hia clothes wero soiled. The doctor says: I was led to this examination by the report on the mortality of cholera, &c., London, 1862, where it is said that it was without dunger to wash the clothes of cholera patients, The same was observed in India. The doctor then mentions the parallel case of the prison at Kaisheim, filled in gencral like the prison of » with # prisovers, fed aud em- ployed exactly like those at Erbrach, with night stools and Ly ised ning as kage herbi we Fai was brought from ich, who was attacked with cholera, from. which 4 died. Not one other case occurred—not # single pri- soner out of @ thousand took the disease. The doc: tor at once reported the case to the government at Munich, and received mptory orders to examine the premises. He did 60, and overed from Dr. Schmidt, the physician of the institution, who made a written report on the subject :—- “That the prisoner, George Wendle, came with thirty other Reieonens from the prison at Munich, and was with his poeipenions sent to the hospital of ue Med he! slepttoeth m. a ae place. There ey at ptt er but perfectly separate from all other prisouers. The diet was thator Healthy peo- ple, cooked in iron pots. An overseer was ordered to watch them and report the firat symptom of disease on the spot. The work of the prisoners consisted in spinning. All declared themselves perfectly well. Wendle afterwards grew sick, and died of cholera in seven hours, He was, from the first mo- ment of his being taken, carried to a separate room, and nota single stool of the sufferer was entptiod without being first disinfected with a solution of chloride of lime, which process was repeated several times beforo they were finally deposited ina privy which was not much used, tionnt commnnicatin; with the sink of tho prison. Turpentine was sp: on Raper in the room where he died, and in the ad- joining corridor. Shirt, undershirt, neck cloth and socks were buried with the dead. Thestraw on which he had slept was buried at a distance from pe peaee al where the ba of those Hasblcad with the usually buried. 1 empty sack and pillows, the blanket and other clothes of iho deceased, wers spread in a corner of the garden, and bt ani for ‘ks to the action of the atmosphere, including the rain. They were then washed by the same apparatus which is used in the mannfacture of woollen goods. The other clothes of the deceased, pillowcase and straw sack, were not washed with the common wash, and have not yet been used.” Dr. Schmidt concludes his re, by expressing his belief that | all these precautions would have availed nothing if the first stools of the deceased had not been tho- roughly disinfected before being emptied. On , and a mass of similar indices, Doctor Pettenkofer establishes his theory that the cholera | agens is contained in the excrements of the dis- ; that, in consequence, it is transferable from one place to another, without personal contact; and that, censequently, localities may become the meana of spresciog the contagion. The theory suggests itself the means of preveuting the progress of the oened jae while, at the same time, it explains the inefficiency of the usval modes of quarantine in either preventing or arresting the contagion.

It is the official report of an experienced physician, who has Iabored under governmental orders, andwho has bad al) the mHi- tary, civil and judicial authorities of the kingdom to aid him in his investigations. Other governments | have adopted his views, and the sanitary regulations of Dresden have just heen ordered (o be made, cor: formably to his theory.

New York Central advanced { per cent; Erie, 4; Reading, {; Cumber- land, 4. Cleveland and Toledo declined } per cent. All Western railroad stocks are dull and neslected. The effect of great receipta during the fall months onthe stocks of these railroad companies haa al- ready been anticipated, and we shoukd not be sur- prised to see an unfavorable reaction in all of them. Some of them have been bolstered up beyond all reason, and great disappointment wilt be expe- rienced when holders commence to figure up about the next dividend. It is with the deepest sorrow that we record the decease of Mr. Charles A. O'Brien, of the firm of W. & J. O'Brien. For some weeks he has beon linger: ing under an attack of hemorrhage of the langs. The hope tht his life would be prolonged until the re- tarn of that portion of the family now in Europe was entertained until within aday or two, but in vain. He rapidly declined, and died this morning. Young, active and enterprising, it was hard to be thus cut down at the commencement of a career which opened so bright and bid fair to be a highly honorable and euccessfal one. The many who for years have been in the habit of transacting business daily with the firm of which he was a member will not soon forget his prompt and active attention, his mild and conciliating manners, and the sincerity | and candor which marked hia intercourse with all. We deeply sympathise with his family in their be- reavement, Although prepared for such an eveut, it has not by familiarity lost any of its poignancy. ‘To his brothers it must seem like withdrawing the first link from a chain which until now has been one perfect whole. ‘The transactions at the Assistant Treasurer's office to-day were a8 follows:~ Paid om Treasury neconat. 2 Received do. . . 448,005 00 Talane do. 4,121,081 55 | Paid for Arsay office, 16,856 65 Vaid on disbursing checks. 70 Of The warrants entered at the Treasury Department, | Washington, on the 17th inst., were as follows: For the Treasury Depart mont z Yor the redernption of #t ‘Tor the custome... .
