THE RICHMOND EXAMINER. '
THE DAILY RICHMOND EXAMDXEB was revived on
the 9th of December, and has already attained a circula
tion and popularity that places It in the front rank of the
public journals of the South. The people everywhere sex!
to recognize in its columns tbw same bold and fearless
spirit that ever distinguished it in the past. The EXAM
INER is peculiarly the paper of the South.
During the war it exercised an influence which probably
no other single newspsper ever had in so large acountrv.
and at such an important Juncture of Affair. It was no
toriously the favourite or the army, and accompanied ft
everywhere. In Yiriuiia. during she Peninsular cam
paign, Gen. A. P. Hill had read in general orders, at h
Lead of his command, th editorials of the Examxnrr, a
incitements to his soldiers. In Texas, General Magruder
complained that he was deprived of the daily entertain
mn a twl .ti win l.tin t.f th Htrhmond 'rilrrunr. Nftnn
ran appreciate the history of the recent war without ad-1
mitting the inspiration and influence of this remarkable,
journal. -

points of intelligence iu the country. By special roed
fortune it has secured, at great expense, the services e f the
oldest and most intelligent of ail the Washington corrrapon

wrote for the Baltimore Stm under the signature of 1 'Ion."
and whose letters were better known sod more ext e naive

TO BUSINESS MEN THE EXAMINER AS AN AD
VEBTI8IM MEDIUM. ;
The attention of the merchants and business men is re
spectfully called to the unequalled advantage it offers ss
an advertising medium. At the time of the evacuation
of Richmond, and for a long time before, its circulation
was greater than that of all the other Richmond pa
pers combined. We declare without anr afleetatkm ofl
modesty about it, that the Examiner is unequalled a an
advertising medium. ,

The Howard Fire Company (No. 1,) together wftat the
Goodwill Fire Company, wcre out on parade y eaten lay
afternoon, for the purpose of trying tli Working of Uieir
difTereat -engines, and also to nee 'how-their new bote,
which they bar lately received, would operate, ; . ;
We learn that tho working "t these engines gav reason
able satisf action ; but did uol.coiua up to th expectations
of those companiea. , ,
The Howard Fire Company, we understand, has lately
been reorganised, and the engine has not been used for a
great while. It Is not reasonable to suppose from this,
that they have yet succeeded hi getting their engine iu
that trim, which is both necessary and ptnjier for an en
gine to be. . . i " t f
May suocsh attend their laudible efforts In this respect,
and may the Company soon be enabled to boast of as good
an organisation, and as fine an engine, as they had in for
mer ttoies. , . . 1 : i .
It is with pleasure that we learn that the "palao of Iu
duatry," will be repeated at the Theatre to-tilglit. This
will be gratifying to several ladle and gentlumou who were
unablo to attend the' last perfurmance, aud also to those
who were snrtUBata wuugh to be present un that occa-
aion.. ; r '
. The publio have expressed themselves very much satis
fied with the design aud arrangement of this Cantata, and
seem liighly. pleased and gratified at th niaunor in which
the children sustained Uieir diflurent parts.
We have no doubt but what every one who wiabua t see
this performance, will avail themselves of the opportunity
Ithua offered by the repetition of the Cantata, to go and
judge for themselves. . , ,
We have no doubt but what the house will be crowded
to-night, and that the'Talace of Industry wfll preve
oven mors successful than on the previous occasion.
A-ETIMI' Wabd, the celebrated traveler, showman, leo
turer and letter writer, gave his aocond and last lecture
in this place last evening, before a large, and judging from
the laughter hia fuuny sayings which ware quite nunier
out created, we should aay a highly appreciative audi.
ence. Mr. Ward, though no artist, as he informed the audi
noe, being neither "paimtitt, tculftist," nor anyothor Ut,
is certainly a character, if not a characteristic, of oonsidor
able merit. Hia description of the Mormons, who art
about the only people bespeaks of, Is sertainly very amus
ing: especially his adventure with those females who
wished to become hi wives nine in number we believe.
Mr. Ward aays he was a poor unprotected orphan, a long
way from his friends and hoped tboy would excuse
him, which we presume they did, as he did not aay they
were bow with him. '" ; -; '-
Th entertainment was brought rather snddonly to a
close in consequence of some bodily inaladj, uf which Mr.
Ward was suffering." '

was laying in the stream , opposite Hall' wharf. After
they had proceeded a short dietauce towards ths shors, ths
boat which they were iu, from .some cause or other,
suddenly sunk. Mr. Atkinson bejng a good swimmer,
soon reached the short?, bat lb nrroes not being tt,tk

Cholera, onco more, attracts the attention, sod
excites fuars of the civilized world. The approach
of a diHease ho futnl should arouse nil flie tnlojit

The Lintory of cholera roiTesiionds very closely

comet, it line its cycle, aud encircles the earth,
very much in the eaino track, ouoe every aixteon
or eighteen years, Liko some monstrous bird of
Toy, it neBtled for years about the mouths of
the (Jangea, pluming its wiun, aud tasting their
strength, by occasional flights, until tit laet, con
scious of nower. it winced its eourae over eonti-
neuts and oceans, wlieu, its circuit completed, it
returned to its mt In the iunnl, there to rest for a
sertas of yours, aud again prejiaxo fur its misMion
of Death. - Travestongvevat rivers, . wvei topping
the highest mountains, aud crossing the, widest
oceans, it everywhere ucnoa ana scorned the fee
ble efforts of man to -stay its progress. In every
rogioa of country traversed by Uie shadow of it
wings, it left the fatal marks of its pnHHngn, and
wherever, enticed ly the abundance of food, pre
pared for its stutt!iancfl, it tarried for a season, S
carnival of death wits speedily inaugurated.'--Whether
aswhted ly favorable, or ooposed liy bV

stronghold, designetl by the ingenuity of mam

In considering the history of such a disease, the
first important questions which preeent them-

How is this cause propagated? , . .
.In answer to the flntt question, various hrio th
eses have been offered, but no one of them is ren
dered even probable, much ies certain by any
weight of testimony or any deiiioiiwrsMe fact.
They are all alike tinsntfafuetory; and it is to b
feared that tho royatery of its essential cause ran
never be revealed. Homo have attributed it to
eninittlouho, others to different species of fungi,
w hi bit others have imagined it t be mused hv the
absenee of ozone from the atmosphere. These
different hypoUieees are mentioned, not for" the
purpose of refuting any one oi mem, itit merely
as an illustration of the obnruritv whieh attenls

never be determined, we can yet reach n reasona
ble conclusion ns to its mode of propagation, by
esreftilly observing nn(fannlyrhig tho facts con
nected with its hihtory. ' - ' '

There is another family of contagious dweaws,
governed by certain uniform laws, to which must
be accorded a wide latitmle. . Iu this sro im-hided
amall-tiox, meesleK, scnrlatiwn, and Hrtm other.
Of this chits Watson, in his Prscth of Medichir,
aays: ."Like different hnmun faces, nil the conv
olaints belonging to this group, have the an me t of
featuies, ami therefore a mutuali-eaemblanc; while
tho sepurabK linesiiients differ so much, in tbeir
chanwUiT and relative circumstances, as to give to
each dhicaae its distinctive s.pect It will be
necessary to describe some of these features, in
order to determine whether tdiolera presents them,
and consequently whethr itis tobe inclinlt Jin th;
same category. ' .. '

Eighth. t'omplcte isolation of tho aick effectu
ally prevents the extension of these diseases, w hilst
the neglect of this precaution insures their indofl
nitepropution. Ily successive individmU exposures,
s dozen subjis'ts may extend the disease through
more than a hundred days. Immunity is not se
cured by change of atmosphere, varying seasons
of the year, different periods of life, or strength of
constitution ...
Tlnwesro somo of the prondnent and uniform,
laws, known to regulate the propagation ot this
family of poisons. It remains to discuss Uie ques
tion, whether cholera, tried by these rules, will
stand the tent of a Contagious disease, .
' As was beforo stated, cholera lingered, for
number of yeurs, about the mouths of Uiedanges,
lH'f(re it usscrtod its empire over the world. - ihir-
ing these years, the ordinary channels of trade
were unrestricted, and tho same facilities existed
for propagating tho disease by contagion, that
w.erti foiuid at a subsequent period, and yet it
tuuiutained its endemio oliaracter. . Having one
thrown off this character, it did not spread gradu
ally in every direction, but taking a northwesterly
course, it affected thousands of persons, almost at
the same time, in every city and country through
w hich it passed. In this general course it contin
ued to go until it encircled the whole earth. Bom
peculiarity in the) atmosphere teemed to be neces
sary for its propagation, and wherever this exis
ted continuously, there was to be found its steady
line of march.
Hut it has been stated, at an argument in favor
of coutagiyu, that ths disease follows closely in hue
of communication between different countries, and
between different iwints of tho some country.
This fact, which im admitted to hm true, proves ,
nothing in favor of contagion ; it only adds color
to the view of its propagation through an atmoa-
phcrio medium. Until the introduction of rail
roads, the great linei of communication, were the
rivers, navigated by steamboats, and the oceans
and inland seas navigated by vessels of large size.
To say nothing of such riyert tassiug through the
richest and most densely populated portion of each
country, thus generating an impure state of at
mosi diere generally, thene largo vessels are ordi
narily the receptacles of dirt, and tho abodes of a
crowded and filthy population . JSothing is more
natural than that ft uiseao, propagated by atmos
pheric) infection, should be found to travel aloDg
atich channels, ' , - ; ,
OnsKitvATtd-ts o ths BtAix-rox. In the Mo-
biln (Ala,) IWAstw, fif a recent date, Dr. E. 1'.
Osincei gives some interesting results of observa
tions roiulo .chiefly in llnropc. These, he aays,
"go to show that, though there are some persons
with whom the preventive effects of "vaceinuUon
lost a long lifetime, it is safest for all persons to he
revsoclusted whenever the dieease prevails In their
neighborhood. If the system retains the effects of
a prior voecinntion, a new one will not bike, if it
dotsi take a second or third time, this is proof that
the system was liable to small-pot in some form.
Iteoords of the Pmssinn army show that, out of
about forty thousand soldiers revnecinoted, it took
in sbont one-third of the coses ; amongst Russian
soldiers tevsecinated, the number on which it had
effect a second time was about eighteen per cent.,
and of Punish soldiers, more than one-half took a
second time. Individual ese have Wen known
in which revaocination at periods as early as eigh
teen mouths and thfee years after the first opera
tion took erfeetlv Borne persons, however, can
er be revaecjmited. It is believed that vaccin
ation once perfectly performed has tho effect of
modifying sn attack of small-pox at any stage of
life. And it is contended that even after smsU-pox ''
has commenced vaccination will modify the dis
ease. Second attacks of small pox are referred to,
but the mortality in snoh enses does not nppcar.to .
have leen ns great ss in original attacks.' t ., ; !M .,
