J It has been brought to my notice that reports are in circu lation in different parts of the country ta the effect that the Cholera has broken out in Savannah, rfnff my attention has been especially attracted to the publication of ah order by the authorities of Charleston quanmtining vessels from’ this port. I deem it my duty to announce thfct nri Case of Cholera has been reported to the authorities of the City by the Board of Health, which is specially charged with the supervision of the health of the city, and which has been, during the present soason of alarm, more than ordinarily vigilant. Our friends abroad may rely with entire confidence Oh the weekly reports of the Sexton, as containing a true statement ot the interments, with thO cause of death in each case. On reference to these publications it will be seen that Savannah is not only free from Cholera, but is in a* perfectly healthy con ffitierr. I make this publication to remove wrong impressions tronr the minds of the traveling community, and te prevent our friends elsewhere, from indulging in unnecessary appre hensions. R. WAYNE-, Mayor. Attest: Edward G. Wilson, c. c. proceedings err COUNCIL'. In Council—Savannah. Aug. 2, 1849. Resolutions Unanimously Adopted. Whereas, Some weeks since Cholera was reported to ex ist among the negroes on the Rice plantations on the Savan nah River, principally situated in the State of South Carolina —and whereas the City Council of Savannah, for sanitary pur pose 9, passed a law to prevent the introduction into the city of those affected with the disease, or of crowds of negroes with a view to avoid the same—while there has been no prohibition to the citizens of South Carolina or their servants from visiting this City and State Os all times to pro6We supplies cud rtfedi cal aid and assistance—and whereas, There’ ha3 been no evi dence of the existence or appearance’ of Cholera within the extended limits of the City and its hamlets—the Sexton’s re port embracing the whole population of the town and its vi cinity, and the only Cemeteries in the City and County, show ing only 20 interments during the last two weeks, from among all colours and conditions of society including several casual ties. And whereas, the Corporate authorities of the City of Charleston have enforced a stringent quarantine upon the boats plying between the two ports, to the manifest injury of all concerned, and creating an unfounded irepression; hi ether sections of our country that Cholera is prevalent in this City. And whereas, the Mayor and Board of Health of this City have assured them to the contrary, but in yain. Therefore be it Resolved, That the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah do hereby declare upon irrefragible testimony, that Cholera has not existed and does not now exist within our limits, and that the city was never more healthy. Resolved, That while we would feel and enjoin devour gratitude to God for the continuance of His goodness, we are ready to compare the health of our city with that of any other, taken at any season, as proved by the proportion of mor tality to the population. Resolved, That the Mayor cause the above resolutions to be published in such papers out of the city as he may deem ad visable. A true copy. EDWARD G. WILSON, c. c.
