Dif.R^D. Arnold, .
President Georgia Medical Society:
hi 9m:—As a precautionary measure
it the occurrence of Asiatic cholera in
our midst, I would respectfully invite the
suggestions of the Georgia Medical Society
as tOrfbe proper steps to be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease, should it arise,
giving me your views as to its incipient sym-
toms, the proper cause to be pursued on the
appearance of these symptoms until a physi
cian can be called in, together with the gene
ral precautions to be observed, as regards
cleanliness, diet, etc., which, jin your jndg-
mant, frill most effectually prevent the intro
duction and spread of the scourge. I should
be glad to receive from yon, in detail, such
atidtl information as will tend to the pre
servation of the public health in the contin
gency above alluded to, in order that the
suggestions given may be published for the
benefit of the community.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Edward C. Anderson, Mayor.
The above communication was received,
and a committee appointed by. the Georgia
Medial Society to respond to the judicious
and well timfiti inquiries «f Bit Honor JSl)~
ward C. 'Anderson, Mayor of the city of Sa
vannah.
We, your committee, beg to submit for
your consideration the following report: In
making these inquiries, the Mayor was evi
dently actuated by the deep interest he felt
in the welfare of the community, and in the
prosperity of our city.
Tge profession of medicine is universally
considered to be peculiarly humanitarian.
From this point of view, and in dependent of
other considerations, medical men are as.
moraly hound to prevent, as to relieve dis
ease and suffering, whenever either is in their
power. We therefore cheerfully respond to
the inquiries of the Mayor.
The first question which naturally presents
itsplf iB^Can cholera be prevented from visit

Many of the latter are no w in bad order and of

The police in their daily and nightly rounds
should be instructed to report such as nui

on all premises, as it is a most valuable disin
fectant. • , - 3 -
Diet.—It is generally conceded that impru
dence in diet is more provocative of cheiera
than any other disease which .may become
epieemic. We therefore urged that upon a
threatened or existing epidemic bt choferir,
that plain, easily digested food, should be
used, and taken-At- legtllnr hours, and rar
moderation. Excessive indulgence is injuri
ous, even should the food be of the proper
kind. No great change should be made in
the habits of Individuals.. A sudden reform
or change from accustomed inodes of living
is detrimental. Injurious .habits should be
regulated before! itim bhi&ra mfiktliui up-
pearance.
Are fniiti and vegetables injurious, or
should they be excluded as artictei of diet,
during the prevalence of cholera? We an
swer no. There .are, however, some excep
tions under each head. Fruits well matured
iB ,Hasson, and eaten in moderation,
fiifth proper regard to time of day, are
beneficial rather than injurious, in a warm
climate. If too ripe or not matured, may
prove injurious. Melons should be avoided,
as at this season ot the year, they have de
teriorated. Figs, peaches, and pears may be
used in moderation and with discretion, when
fresh and well ripe. During the prevalence
of cholera, West India fruits are injurious
They are plucked before matured, aud are
expected to ripen on the voyage, or after
arriving at our ports.
Vegetables, like fruit, may be eaten with
out injury if they are fresh, in season, well
cookdd, and temperance in their use ob
served.
Alcoholic drinks, like fruits anil vegeta
bles, should not be used except with caution
Tha danger is not in their use, but iheir
abute. In short, in reference to fruits, veg
etable^ aud alcoholic drinks, we insist upon
.CautiM as to qnautily, quality, and the time
df-eating and drinking. In addiLion to the
above preventive measures, *we would sug 1
gest that exposure to viclsitudeS 6t Weather
without corresponding change .of clothing,
fe currents ol air when in perspiration, and
night air, are detrimental, and should be
avoided. The rule for retiring early should
be observed, if practicable, during tbe prev
alence of cholera. Excessive fatigue slreuld
be avoided.
Loatly, it is unnecessary as impossible, to
.give any specific treatment for cholera. Tbe
stages of-the disease are varied, and tbe
treatment must necessarily be the j same.
The individual case presents its own' sigD
board. We can however say this much,
that cholera can be controlled with compar
ative ease, if treated in the early stage.
Should cholera visit a locality epidemically,
every member of tbe community should not
only observe tbe precautions above obu-
merated, but check at once aqy tendency to
looseness of the bowels. Cholera diarrhoea

Ho well as President pro. tem.
They adjourped to meet again, and a proclamation
was issued by the President pro. tem. convenining die
Convention to meet on the 90th of July last, and di-
xecUng. his xExseBency tko Governor of the State to
issue writs _ of } election to. flU vacancies. So far the
whdte matter was looked upon as a harmless expen-
msnt, though mischief was intended, the people being
confident that Che GotatBSS moaid not condescend to
.notice .this pqaclfnaHon,jiiid that in^caae the Gon-
ventfon Should comifllt shy act of interference, he
wo old at ouce have it dispersed. Unfortunately, how
ever. after a lapse of nsiriy a month, the Governor
issued writs of election to fill up fifty-one vacancies
in that body.
This document, to which tbe Secretory of State re
fused to .give his tftteptftiun under the semi of the St it|e,
fi faaaid under the attestation of the private secre-
Jltfr pjr&e Governor. The people of die State beoame
“alarmfea when, ne.-donbt couid ha entertained as to
the fact that these Chin Magistrate- had given willing
aid aud assistance to subvert the government, the
preservation of which was especially entrusted to his
keeping. i
On Friday* the 27th of July, a large meeting was
heldiu the hall of the House of Representatives, pro
fessedly for the advocacy of universal suffrage, hut in
reality to ro-organtze fbr the meeting of the Conven
tion on the J4pi*toy following. The object of the
meeting was to ^xcitc the passions and prejudices of
tbe cotored population, so as to make them the vic
tims of a riot, toy urging them headlong into a con
flict with the Bt^te and municipal authorities.
On the other hand, we are determined to prevent
riot and bloodshed by pursuing such a course as
would baffle tbuasfbriona. calculations of those agita
tors from New Qctoftu#-.
Our remedy t ,aufl the only remedy, must be by re
course to tbe Usual process of law, and even then to
proceed in such manner as to fasten upon them the
responsibilities of all collision whatever. Tbe case
was submitted.to the grand jury by the Attoruey-Gen-
eral, and in the meanthfae the Lientenaut-Governor
and the Mayov called upon General Baird and ascer
tained whether, if a warrant, issued upon a regular in
dictment, were placed in the hands of the sheriff for
the arrest.of the members of the convention, the mill-
. tory would interfere. The answer was that the sheriff
; sell woqld teiuy?t«|ud, and that the convention,
meetiug peaceably, could not be interfered with by
the office^ of the law.
It is proper here to state that the Mayor had pre
viously addressed a note to General Baird, inquiring
whether lie would be interfered with by the military
fxi case he would proceed to disperse the convention
as au onlawlalaseemblage. The answer to this coin-
municatidh was that the meeting of the convention
being peaceable, could not be suppressed by the
Mayor, and that the military authorities would pre
vent the interference of the civil authorities. It was
suggested by the Lieutenant-Governor that the city
authorities under these circumstauces did not intend
to interfere to prevent the meeting of the convention.
But he proposed that in cose a warrant of arrest were
placed in the bauds of the sheriff, the latter, before
attempting to execute it, would call on the General,
who thereupon would endorse his objections, and the
matter would at once be submitted to the Prcsideut.
This arrangement was satisfactory to both parties.
On the pame day, the Attorney-General and the Lieu-
t^ant-Governor telegraphed to the President, to as
certain whether tbe process 04 the conn to arrest tho
members of the convention could be thwarted by the
military. The answer was expected to sustain the
court. , ...
On Sunday, the 29tb, the State and municipal au
thorities called upon the President to advise the peo
ple as to the proper conduct to be held the next day
so as to avoid all collision aud riot; aud the Mayor
issued his proclamation to the same effect. The press
of the city, with the exception of the Radical organ,
gave wise and salutary counsels to the people, in
viting all good citizens to avoid congregating about
the capitol and to demean themselves with prudence
and discretion.
On the morning of the 30th the Lieutenant
Governor called upon Gen. Baird to communicate to
him the President’s dispatch, aud also inquired of the
General if he would not have sorile troops in the
vicinity of the hall to preserve peace and good order.
General Baird answered that application hod been
made by tbe members of the Convention.
The suggestion was then made that to have too
large a p jlice force on the spot might be construed as
meant to overawe the members, aud inasmuch as the
civil authorities did not intend interfering with the
Convention until instructions were received from the
President, as above agreed upon, it was proper to
have troops to co-operate with a small police force to
preserve peace aud to prevent all possible attempts to
bring about a coltttion. This suggestion met the ap
proval of the General, who then stated that he would
immediately give orders to have the troops m readi
ness.' Before the end of tbe interview it was again
agreed upon between General Baird and the Lieuten
ant-Governor that whatever warrant of arrest might
be placed in the hands of the sheriff would be sub-
mitted to him before any attempt to have it executed
should b>e made, and that upon the endorsement of
tbe general’s objections the matter \yould he referred
to the President. The Mayor being informed of this
arrangement, sent bat a small police force to the
rlemtty of the ball, and the troops that were Id act in
conjunction with the police were eagerly expected.
At noon, information having reached tbe Lieutenant
Governor that in tbe third district there, waa a com
mencement pf effervescence, and that a large number
of negroes were coming towards Canal street from
Above and below, 'be immediately sent a dispatch to

that troopssbe senf, without delay.
About oaie hour afterwards the riot broke out, end
ing in the dispersion of the convention and tbe cap
ture of the rioters, including several members of this
body. It is not our purpose to argue the qtestion of
facts as 4o the actual commencement of the collision,
and fix precisely tbs mode and manner and where it
start*}. We wiU, however, remark that the collision
was brought about by the armed mob snsUining the
convention, ffafltoa it today that tbe etvtl tuthoritisa
took aU the precaatams possible to prevent tbe out
break ; that they applied during three days previous
to have the tfiHiftlfy to preserve order at the place
where the convention was to meet; that the authori
ties* State and municipal, came to an understanding
to net in concert witti-thh tailitoff far that purpose*,
that the cifazewi. m> more than the police contem
plated preventing the convention from holding their
meetiug in'peace mid adjourning and dispersing un
molested; and that the warrant for their anest would
have been aqfeinitMdto this military, aa agreed upon,
although the President’s dispatch to the lieutenant
Governor and the subsequent one to the Attorney
General, was imperative, that the military must not
thwFXt the convention. The military authorities had
been for <m«s days previous to the Mot in constant

We understand that tbe sober, re

Witch chagrined by the ambitions pwtewdnns

tbe organized bauds of colored men, whqee
military parades were stopped by Oenetal
Terry. They complasn that tbOae organiza
tions are composed, for tba most part of col
ored persons who have nejffier homes #or
permanent interests in this city; of idle, disso
lute and dissipated vagrants, who bdke'wan
dered to tMs city froth'distant qmtrteM. °We
learn arso that nor respectable cotaroA peepIn
complain of tbe evil influences exerted Ifjr
^ ite emissaries from the North, and that they
;bd to adopt some satisfactory method of
making tUelr opinions known. They have
foand ont also that tbe Freedman’s Boreaa is,
for the most part, administered in.the inter
ests of tbe Radical party, and not. tbe freed-
men ; that it is a political machine whose aim
is to foment discord between tbe whiten and
blacks. Tbnso colored people who are intelli
gent, who have properly, or regular, occupa
tions, have no interests in common viitti tbe
vagrants who, under the influence and direc
tion of few White men-and tbe paid agents of
Radicalism; are threatening the whole Booth
with disturbances. Sooner or later the or
derly, well-behaved colored classes wiirkave
to draw the line between themselves and tile
disorderly classes. - The sooner they publicly
take their true position, separate themselves
from the turbulent characters whose aim is to
involve the wbole cotored population in trou
ble, and exert nit their influence, privately
and publicly, individually aud in aggregate;
to put down tbe mischievous black men, had
infamous white, men who stand at ..their
backs, the better it will be for ns all.
There is no reason wbythe two races, each
maintaining its trne and natural position in
the scale of society, should not live together
in harmony. Ttie better classes of whites
exi»t all their'influence to these ends; why
fihould not the better classes *»f colored peo-
p’e do the same ? If. they disapprove Uw
turbulent conduct ol the interior classes of
their 6wu color, or of the mischievous inter
ference of white Radical iucendiaries from
the North, and are satisfied that our coarts
and our citizens will do them justice—respect
their rights and protect them ia their persons

Tbe New Philadelphia (Ohio) Democrat
says: One of tbe most painful aud heart
rending casuilties that it baa ever been our
lot to record, occurred on Friday afternoon,
27th uit., between tbe hours of three aud
four q’clock, p. m. Mrs. Stambaugb, wife
of David W. Stambaugh, Esq-, of this town,
was endeavoring to kindle & fire to: her,cook
ing stove, aud, it failing to ignite as speedily
as she desired, took a can containing about a
quart or more of coal oil, and poured some
of it upon the coals. It took fire -and imme
diately communicated itself to (be can, which,
burst, and instantly enveloped Mrs. Stam
baugh in a sheet ot flame. She immediately
ran out of tbe house to that of a relative on
an adjoining lot, several rods distant. Her
friend, seeing fesr. sad plight, made immedi
ate efforts to subdue tbe flames by injuring
on water. Other neighbors, ~ hearing her
piteous cries, soon made their appearance,
and procuring water from the'Cistern tcloM
by, pal out the fire, but not UQtu, S’s*.. S.
was burned almost to a crisp. Medical aid
was promptly at hand, but was of no avail
except to alleviate the excruciating pain, in
which she lingered for six or eight boors,
when death kindly came and pat an end to
her sufferings. The heart sickens to attempt
ing a recital of the sad event. Those who
saw her enveloped in that winding sheet of
flame say that it made an impression npoa
them which time can hardly serve to efface.
Mr. S. is left with a family of two boys to
mourn the loss of her who of all was most
dear to the family circle. Her remains were
interred on Sunday in the New Philadelphia
cemetery, attended by tbe largest concourse
of our citizens that we hare ever seen at a
funeral. Mrs. S. was universally esteemed
by her neighbors aud friends for her many
good qualities, and we deeply sympathize, in
common with the whole community, with
the family in their afflictive bereavement.
It now leaks out that very many persons
are fn tbe habit of using coal oil to kindle
fires with. We think this should serve as a
warning to them to be cautious to the nse of
that article. ,

White Men hold Her while he Vlolntea
Her Person.
One of the most atrocious outrages that
we ever heard of was perpetrated on the per
son of a white woman at the loyal and holy
city of Wabash, Indiana, last week. A party
of loyal yoang men, of the “F. F.’s,” de
coyed a woman into the river bottom, aad,
while they had her there threw her down,
stripped her, and holding her by her arms
and legs, induced a negro to ravish hw. The
tears, entreaties and protestations of the poor
Woman had no effect upoh the ttitesa who
held her. She protested against having emt-
nal intercourse with the negro, and screamed
itod straggled to free herself from the fiends,
who held her until nature was exlntoXted.
The morning following the outrage, rite
sought legal advice; but as the crime waste
hideous, and the amalgamationists who per
petrated it of the “first families,” (tile ne
