FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF EUROPE.
HUMBER SIXTEEN.
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

I passed down the ward and found nineteen
or twenty in the last agonies of death. 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.

rounds. One would think a dying person
should be treated with kindness. 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.
On reaching the bottom of the Salle St.
Moneque, one of the male wards, 1 hoard loud
voices and luughter. 1 had noticed much
more groaning and complaining in pnssing
among tho men, and the horrible discordance
struck me as sometiiiug infurnul- It procee
ded from one of the aides to which the pa
tients had been removed wbo were recovering.
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•

EDITORS.
O N assnming the duties and retponaibilitiei of the
publication of tbe Southern Banner, the Editnrs
feel themselves bound by-every senae of duty, both to
the former patrons of the Alhenian, and those of their
friends whose aid they confidently anticipate—in order
to retain the one and merit the other-to ley before them
* fair and eandid,but succinct exposition of the prin
ciples by which they are to be governed and directed
in tho prosecution of their arduous and responsible un
dertaking. They do not think it necessary at thia late
day—a day which is shedding its light and glory, w ith
such general and invigorating poWer over our whole
body politic, to enter elaborately and minutely into u
detail of their political views and opinions. Indeed, to
do so, would be virtually offering an insult to the good
sense of the community. To profcaa tho nam* of Die
blessed founder of our holy religion, is in itself a sutfi-
cioot guarantee of the principles oil the genuine rhiis-
tian, so do they hold it only necessary to own and pro
fess the names of the three great apostles of correct
principles, in order to satisfy an enlightened commu
nity of the nature of their political faith, and the inevi
table tendency of their future practice. The Southern
Banner,then, wifi rest hereafter for support and patron-
age, on the broad, firm, and immutable rock of Kcpub.

flexibly, end so triumphantly practised, in many res.
peel*, by our favorite Troup, will in it find a champion,
however buatblo, yet of stern and uncompromising in
tegrity.
Various causes will, they believe, tend to render the
Banner hereafter, (and they sty it without intending
the least reflection on the courso pursued by their wor
thy predecessor, the late proprietor of tho Athenian,)
of more general interest and of greater value to tho
party, than it has been of late, and none of which seems
to them, so well calculated to produce thia result, aa
the opposition which will be shortly exerted, in this
place, to theirpreas, and to their principles. This idea
they do not deprecate, but rather eherieh, knowing
that an honorable and literal opposition,will tend to etitn-
ulate them tothe performance of their duty, whilst they
hope it will rally to their support, their friends, and the
friends of the party, for whose interest and prosperity
they are determined to devotoevery honorabiu exertion.
The editors hive engaged among tho r correspon
dents, several gentlemen of established Literary and
Political character, whose communications will hereaf
ter servo to enrich and adorn tbe columns of tho
Southern Banner. And with regard to tho other dc-
K r Intents of the paper, they ,can but add, that tbeir
•t exertions will be devoted to render them useful
and amusing to their patrons and readers.
Great promises ate, however, at best, bot cheap
commodities, and of course they feel themselves boitod
to say as little, and promisoas charily as possible; but
in launching forth their little barque upon Iho
stormy waves of public opinion, they must trust alono

combine to rondet an additional Herald of iiteiligence
to Ihe present number altogether proper. •/
But these by no means constitute the whole cata
logue ol inducements. Oura is palpably a government
in experiment. The principles and terms Ipon which
it was based, wero professedly novel, and by conse-
qircnco it would be fsirlo assert that they /rare not al
together understood. The progress of evens hts de
monstrated this truth. The constituti-mWity of a na
tional Bank; a system of Interntl Improvement by
Congress; the power to tsx foreign imports for Che
protection of domestic industry; in short fie whole fa
bric of implication, remainsyet to undergo iti final and
legitimate analysis. They are topics wtich must agi

shall be our constant aim. Our columns slisll also
contain as far as practicable, importiat items of intel
