 We tender our acknowledgements 10 the author, for the following interesting communication on the subject of the appearance and treatment of the Cio- lera at Snithlaad. The reader will find II every way worthy of attention.

 SHETLAND, Ky. Nov. 4th, 1S32.

 .Nr. Ed3tof--As the citizens of Nash vile and is vicinity may reasonably be supposed to entertain some apprehen- sion from the arrival of the Cholera -Asphyxia in their neighborhood, it will assuredly gratily them to learn that it's treatment becomes more successful as if advances. A smaller proportion of the diseased died in New York than did in Montreal; and in Philadelphia than in New York, and in no public institu- ton has it's treatment been more sue- ccssiul than in the Snithland Hospital.

 Science and experience are disarm- ing 1t of its tcrrors.

 In passing lon his way to Nashville) through little town called Salem, less than twenty miles from the Mouth of Cumberland, the writer of this article learned that the Cholera had made its appearance at Smithland; that seve- raj of the citizens had died; that the Hospital was full to overaowing; that the Steward, John Byrne, (avery wor. tn. thy citizenl had taken the disorder and died; and that Dr. Sanders, the at- tending Surgeon, had also taken it, and was confined to his bed.

 He had left both these gentlemen ap- parentiy in perfect health very few days before, and was not prepared for such intelligence. He determined inn medlately to lose DO time in repairing to Smlthland. and offering such services as he could render under such circum- stances. He found Dr. Sanders con- fined to his bed, the Stewart dead, and the Hospital full of Cholera patients but the disorder was not extending a. mong the resident citizens.

 The patients were principally from the corps of laborers (pioneers) under the command of Capt. Tyson, two hun dred of whom are employed in remov- ing Instructions from the bed of the Ohio, opposite to Smithland; with the addition of a few passengers and hands from the steam-boats plying between Louisville and St. Louis. Some of the earliest cases had terminated unfavora bly, but the others were in successful progress of treatment and promised well.

 From the following brief synopsis Q the disease and its treatment in the Smithland Hospital. it will appear tha the Cholera is much less formidable than it's fame would lead us to appre hend.

 Cholera Asphyxia. is generally Q uniformly preceded by considerable dis turhances of the alimentary canal; b cholie or aatulcnce; or nausea or pun g'ng, or the two united; most fIcquenl y however by the latter.

 These symptoms are speedily follon ed by feeling of load and oppressio about the region of the stomach, wit 2 sense of internal beat rcfcrable to til
