The Cholera—A Mosque Ball—The Gay IVorfd—Mobs—Visit tn the Hotel Dieu You aee by the paper*, 1 presume, tlu< offi cial hccouMs of the Cholera in Puri*. It leeniH very terrible to you, nu doubt, nt your distance from tne scene, end truly it is tumble enough, if »no could rentier it, any where but many here do not trouble themselves about it. and you might be in this inairnpolis a moiuh, and if you observed tho people only, and irequi nted only the place* of amusement and the public promenade*, you might never suspect its existence— The weather ia June, like, deliciously warm and bright; the tree* are just in tho tender grnen of tho new buds, and the public gardens are thronged all day with Ihousnnda of the gay and idle, aiding tin* der the trre* in groups, laughing and amusing themselves, as if there was no plague in the air, though hundred* die every day. The chur ches are all hung in black ; there ia a con stant eucceasion of funeral* ; and ymt cross the biers and hand-barrowa of the sick, hurry tug to the hospitals at.every turn, inevery quar ter of the city. It ia very hurd to realize such things, tod, it would seem, very hard even to treat them seriously. 1 was at a masque ball at the Theatre det Varitles, a night or two since, at (he celebration of Ibc Mi Careme, or hall-lent. There were two thousand penpln, I should think, in fancy dresses, most of then, grotesque and satirical, and the ball was kept up till seven in tho morn’iig, with nil the ex travagant gaiety, noise end fun with which tho Fruirh people manage such matters. There was cholera-walls, and a cholera-galopadt. and one man, immensely tall, dressed As a person!- fi sltoh of the tholera itself, with skeleton ar- nut, bloodshot eyes, and other horriblo appur tenances of a walking pegtilonce. It was the butden of all the jokes, and all the cries of the hawkers, and ail the conversation; and yet, probably, nineteen out of twenty of those pro seut lived in the quarters most ravaged by the disease, and many of them had. suen it face to face, and knew perfectly it* deadly character I As yet, with few exception**, the higher classes of society have escaped. It seems to depend very much on the mauner m which peo pie live,and the poor have been struck in evety quarter, often at the very next door to luxury. A friend told me this morning, that the porter of a largo and fashionablo hotel, in which he lives, hud been taken to the hospital ; and there have been one or two cases in tho airy quarter of St. Germain, in the - same afreet with Mr. Cooper, and nearly opposite. Sever al physicians and medical atudeota have died too, but tbe majority of these live with the narroweal economy, and in th« parts of the city tbe most liable to impure effluvia. The balls go on still in tho gay world; and I pro- •ume these tcculd go on if there were only mu sicians enough left to make an orchestra, or fashiouists to compose a quadrille. I was walking home very late from a party the night belor'e last, with a captain in the English army. Tbe gray of the morning we* just stealing in to tho sky ; and after stopping a moment in the Place Fendome, to look at the column, stretching up apparently unto the very atars, we bade good mnming, and parted. He had hardly left me, he said, when he heard* fright- ful scream from one of the house* in the Rue St. Jionare, and thinking there might be some violence guing on, he rung at the sate and en tered, mounting tbe first staircase that ted. A woman had just opened a door, and fallen on tbe broad stair at tho top, and was writhing in great agony. The people of the house collected immediately ; but tbe moment my friend pronounced the word cholera, there was a general dispersion, end he was left alone with the patient. He took her in his arms, and carried her to a coach-stand without as sistance, and driving to the Hotel Dieu, left her with the Saurs dt Charlie. She baa since died. As if one plague was not enough, tho city is still alive in the distant lauxboirrgs with re volts. Last night, tho rappel wus bent all over the town, the national guard called., to arms, and marched to the Porte St. Denit, and the different quarters where the mob* were collected. % Many suppose there ia no cholera except atii'h as i* produced l>y poison ; and the Hotel Dieu, and the other hospitals, uro besieged daily by the infuriated mob,-who swear ven geance ngainst the government for all the mortality they witness. I have just returned from a visit to the Ho lei Dieu—the hospital for the cholera. Iiu pelled by a powerful motive, which it is not now necessary to explain, I Imd previously made several attempts to gain admission in vain; but yesterduy I fell in foriunaicly with an English physician, who told me I could puss with a doctor’s diploma, which he offered to borrow for me of some medical friend, lie culled by appointment nt seven this morning, to accompany me on my visit. It was like one of opr loveliest mornings in Juno—an inspiriting, sunny, balmy day, all soltncs* and benuly—*and wo crossed the Tuilerie* by nne of its superb avenues, and kept down the hank of the river to the island With the errand on which we were bound in our minds, it was impossible nol lo bo struck very forcibly with our own exquisite enjoy, me nt of life. I am sure I never fell my veins fuller of tho pleasure of hculih and motion ; and I never saw a day when every thing about me seemed belter worth living fur. The splem did palace of the Louvre, with its Inng/acacfe of nearly half a mile, luy in the mellowest sun shine on our lefi; tho lively river, covered with boats, and spanned with its magnificent and crowded bridges on our right; the view of the island, with massive old structures be low, and the fine gray towers of the church of Noire Dame rising, dark and gloomy, in the distance, rendered it difficult to realize any thing but life and pleusure That under those very towers, which added so much to the beauty of tho scene, there luy a thousand and more of poor wretches dying of a plague, was a thought my mind would not retain a mo ment. Half nn hour’s walk brought us lo tho Place Notre Dame, on ono side of which, next this celebrated church, stands the hospital. My friend entered, leaving me lo wait till ho had found an acquaintance of whom ho could bor row a diploma. A hearse was stunding at the door of the church, mid I went in a for a mo ment. A few mournors, with the appearance of extreme poverty, were kneeling round n coffin at one of the aide altars; and a solitary priest, with nn attendant boy, was mumbling the prayers for the dead. As ! rame out, another hearse drove up, with a rough coffin, scantily covered with a pall, and followed by one poor old man. They hurried in, and I strolled around the square. Fifteen or twenty water-carriers were filling their buckets at the fountain opposite, singing and laughing ; and at the same moment four different liners cros sed towards tho hospital, each with its two or three followers, women and children, friends or relatives of the sick, accompanying them to the door, where they parted from them, moat probably for ever. The litters were set down a moment before ascending the steps; the crowd pressed around and lifted the coarae curtains ; farewells were exchanged, and the sick alone passed in., I did not see any great demonstration of feeling in tho particular ca ses that were before me ; but 1 can conceive, in tho almost deadly certainty of thia disease, that these hasty partings at the door of the hospital might often bo scenes of unsurpassed suffering and distress. 1 wailed parhaps ton minute* more. In the whole, time that I had been there, twelve lit- tors, bearing the sick, had entered the Hotel Ditu. An I exhibited the borrowed diploma tbe thirteenth arrived, and with it a young man, whoso violent and uncontrolled grief worked so far on the soldier nt the door, that he Allowed.him to pas*. 1 followed the bear ers to the ward, interested exceedingly to ob serve the first treatment and manner of recep tion. They wound alowly up the stone stair case to the upper story, end entered the fe male department—n long low room, containing nearly u hundred beds, placed in alleys scarce two feet from each other. Nearly all were occupied, and thoso wuich were empty my friend told mo were vacated by deaths yester day. They set down the litter by the side of n narrow cot, with ronrse but clean sheets, and a Saw de Chortle, with a white rap, and a cross at her girdle, came and took off the canopy. A young woman, of apparently twen ty-five, was- beneath, absolutely convulsed with ago'ny. Her eyes were started from the sockets, her mouth loomed, and her face was of a frightful, livid purple. I never saw so horrible a sight. She had been taken in per fect health only three hours before, but Iter features looked lo me marked with a year of pain. The first attempt to lift her produced violent vomiting, and I thought she must die instantly. They covered her up in bed, and leaving the man wbo came with her hanging over her with the moan of one deprived of hi* •ensea, they went to receive others, who were entering in the same manner. I inquired of my companion how soon she would be attended to. Ho aaid, “ possibly in an hour, aa ti e .physician was juat commencing his rounds.” An hour after this I pa-sed the bed of this P®or woman, and abe had not yet been visaed. tier husband answered my question with «I had been permitted ta visit tho hospital, a suf ficient assurance that the physicians were se riously convinced there could be no possible danger. If I need an apology, it may be found in this. The Kiu of love.— Turn we to a less mournful subject, the kiss amstory. On wri ting this word, we feel our breast fluttering be neath a clogging weight of fear, just aa it did we care not lo say how many years ago. It is n strange and beautiful thing—first,inno cent love. There is that in female beauty that delights, merely to gaze upon; but be ware of looking too long. The lustrous black pupil contrasting with the white of tbe eye, and the carnnted skin,—the clear, placed blue, into which you see down, down into the soul, the deep hazel, lustrous as a sunlit stream, aeon through an opening in its willowy banks, —all may be gazed upon with impunity nine- ty.nino times, and the hundredth you are a gone man. On a sudden, the eye strikes you as deeper and brighter than ever; or you fan cy that a long look is stolen at you beneath a drooping eyelid, and that there is a slight flush simple prescription of treatment might not be ; on the cheek,—and at once you are in love, drawn up by tho physicians and administered Then you spend the mornings in contriving by tho numerous medical students who were | apologies for calling, and the days and eve- in Paris, that ns few us possible might suffer ,nings iu playing them off.

They lay perfectly still, and seemed benumbed. I felt the limbs of several, ood found them quite cold. The stomach only had a little warmth. Now and then a half groao escaped those who seemed tbe strongest; but with the exception of the universally open mouth and upturned ghastly eye, there were no signs of much euf- forir.g. I found two who must have been dead half an hour, undiscovered by the atten dants. One of them was an old woman, near ly gray, with a very bad expression of face, who was perfectly cold—lips, limbs, body nnd all. Thu other was younger, and looked as if aha had died in pain. Her eye* appeared aa if they had been forced half out of the sock ets, and her skin was of tho most livid and deathly purple. The woman in the nest bed told me she had died since the Saure de Cha- rite had been there. It is horrible to think how these poor creatures may suiter ia the very midst of the provisions dial are made professedly for their relief. I asked why sacrificed iu wailing for experiments, than ever will he suved by the results. My blood boiled from the beginning to the end of this melancholy visit. ‘ wandered about alone among the beds till whole story the next time.

I never snw a rougher or more heartless manner than that of the celebrated Ur. ——, ill the bedsides of these poor creatures. A harsh question, a rune pulling open of the mouth, to look at the tongue, a sentence or two of unsuppressed commands to the students on tbe progress of the disease, and the iruiti passed on. If dis couragement and despair are not medicines, I should think the visits of such physicians were oflittlo avail. The wretched sufferers turned away their heads after he had gone,in every in stunco that I saw, with an expression of visi bly increased distress. Several of them refu sed to answei his questions altogether.

The most successful treatment has been found to be punch, very strong, with but little acid, and being permitted to drink as much ns thov would, they had become partially intoxicated., It was a fiendish sight, positively. They were silting up, and react ing from ono bed to the other, and with their anil, pallid faces and blue lips, and the hospital dress of white! tlioy looked like so many curousing corpses. I turned awuy Irom them in horror. 1 was stopped in the door way by a litter ontering with u. sick woman.. They eel her down in tho mam passage between the beds, and left her a moment to find a place for her, She seemed to have an interval of pain, and roso up on one hand, and looked nbout her very earnestly. 1 followed the direction of her oyos, and could easily imagine her sensa tion*. Twenty or thirty death-like faces were turned towards her from the different beds, and the groans of the dying nnd the dis tressed esme Irom every side. She was with out a friend whom she knew, sick of a mortal disease, und ubondonod to the mercy of those whoso kindness is mercenary and habitual, and of course, without sympathy or feeling.— Was it not enough alone, if she had been far leas ill, to embitter the very fountains of life, and kill her with mere fright and horror I She sank down upou the litter again, and drew her sliawl over her heed. 1 had aeen enough of suffering, and I left the place. On reaching the lower ataircaae, my friend proposed to me to look into the dead room. We descended to a large dark opartment bo low ihe street-level,.lighted by a lamp fixed to the wall. Sixty or seventy bodias'lay on the floor, some of them quite uncovered, and some wrapped in mat*. 1 could not see distinctly enough by the dim light, lo judge of their de coloration. They appeared mostly old and emaciated. I cannot describe the sensation of relief with which 1 breathed the free air once more. I had no fear of the cholera, but t{ie suffering and misery I had seen, oppressed and half smothered me. Every one who has walked through a hospital, will remember how natural it is lo subdue the breath,and close the nostrils to the smells of medteioe and the close air.— The fact too, that the question of cootagion is still disputed, though 1 fully believe tho cholera not to be contagions, might have hod some .effect. My breast heaved, however, as if a weight had risen from my lungs, ond 1 walked home, blessing God for health with un- dissembled gratitude, P. 8.—I began this account of my visit to the Hotel Ditu yesterday- As 1 am perfectly well tins looming, 1 think the point of non- contagion, in my own cate at least, is clear. I breathed tbe same air with the dying and the diseased for two hours, and felt of neatly a hundred to be satisfied of Ihe curious phe nomena of the vital beat. Perhaps an experi ment of this sbrt, in a min not professionally a physician, tnsy bo considered rash or use less ; and I would not willingly be thought to have done it from any puerile curiosity. I have beeu interested in such subjects always; and 1 considered the fact that the King’s sons tenant to such a degree that he consulted his friends us to some mode of retaliation. “ Why.” aaid thoy, “ the next lime the ad jutant treu's you in this contemptuous manner, you must pull his noso.” I’ll be shot if I don’t!” said the - lieuten ant, well pleased with the project, which did not, to his apprehension, involve any idea of gunpowder. Wherefore, coming up to hts an tagonist tho next day! he bade him—“ Good morning, Mr. Adjutant I” The latter treated him with his usual super cilious look over tho shoulder, when the linu- tenant promptly took his noso wetween tho first and second finger, and gave it a prodi gious wrench. Well satisfied with this ex ploit, be went his way, boasting how prettily he had wrung th6 adjutant’s nose. But his feel ings of triumph was short, for ho was present ly served with a chalenge. He was now in more trouble than ever. This was a result he had not looked for; and he again repaired to his friends for advice. <‘Wh-wh-»hat a bloody fellow.that adju- taut is I” said he, in great pertubation—“ he’s challenged me I” “ Of course,” returned his friends coolly— “ no military man would allow his nose to be twisted with impunity.” “ No!—Why in the name of blood and thun der didn’t you tell mo of that before? I’d seen the devil had his nose before I’d touched it, if I’d known whet was going to be the con sequence. But what must I do now?” “ Fight to bo sure.” What I f-C-fight! I—I—fight? No—no— that’ll never do—Ishall be shot to a dead cer tainty.” “ As like as not. But it’s the business of tho soldier, you know, to smell gunpowder,” “ Yes—but to feel cold leud!—that’s the worst of it I" “ Well, better or worse, there's no help for it—the adjutant has challenged you, and fight him you must. They say he’s a devil of a fellow on the trigger.” I’m a deed man, then. I wish his nose had been st the north pole before I’d touched it.” As there were no getting off however, agreeably to the laws of honor, the ‘ lieutenant chose his second and .went to meet the adju tant. The combatants look their ground, each with his side towards the other. But such was the tremor of tbe lieutenant that, in order to steady his pistol, he held the breach against his hip, and in this manner let fly. The adjutant fell, bored through the loins with a mortal wound ; while the trembling lieuten ant, scarcely knowing, for a time, whether he was higaself olive or dead, escaped unhurt— conveying with him from the field of glory the reputation of an honorable man 1—CousleUa• PROPOSALS FOR TBB Southern Banner A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED U» THE TOWN OF ATHENS, GEORGIA.
