The following account of the first case of cholera corrob

orates the fact as stated by us, fully and clearly, and we publish it that those that denied its existence may be fully

eatisfied, and to satisfy the public that we would not make tatements in regard to cholera without pood foundation. We copy it from the Sentinel a crawfishing editorial is connected, as we have taken no part in a discussion that paper had with the Journal, we do not give it. t "On the morning of the 18th inst , I was called to see Charles Proenger, a German, who had arrived here some 5 or 6 days previously from Germany, via New York, Cincinnati and Madison I saw h in at 9 o'clock, A. M. found him in the collapsed stage of cholera after learning from his Cousin Lena Bals a history of the case, and asking her why a physician had not been called in sooner, she replied, he would not permit it, until he was getting cold hands and feet, cramps, &c , then he said she might go and get a Doctor. I told her it was too late to do him any good left stimulating medicines, desired her to get the neighbors to assist her in giving medicines and rubbing him with capsicum and mustard &c Her father and brother being in the country, she failed in procuring any assistance Cut herself and the Bister of the patient, being the only persons about thp house, did all in their power At 2 o'clock P. M I invited Dr. Bullard to see the case, gave him a statement of the facts -Dr. Bullard examined the case, and without hesitation concurred with me in pronouncing it a case of genuine cholera and stated that it was widely different from any of our diarrhea and cholera morbus cases. . The girls at this time said they could not get any help, as the people were afraid to come to the house said also that he had been easier after taking the medicine, but had not been asleep he still answered questions to his cousin in German and was rational, stimulants both externally and internally had no effect in restoring the circulation he continued to sink; about & past 5 P. M he requested a minister to besmt for Mr. Koontz, a German preacher, was called in by Lna. He conversed freely with the dying man administered the sacrament &c. Soon after 6 Dr. B. called, believed him dying but yet able to answer inquiries in German rationally. I saw him last about 8 told Lena not to disturb him as he was dyingat this time Lena's father arrived not long after the patient brenthrd his last. Now it mut be evident to any candid mind, that the statements of the Sentinel of the 2ls', purporting to be founded upon " facts gathered from intelligent Germans conversant with the circumstances a tending the illness of the deceased," that he took medicine, went to bed, and in ten hours was dead, or in the words of our informant, he " went to sleep and never woke," are false in feet and in insinuotion-..lt cannot be otherwise from the nature of the case No other Germans except the above named and Mr. Koontz were present at any time after I was oiled; and thev will bear full testimony to the truth of the statement here made fn addition to this, Mr. Koontz at the grave, stated unequivocally, that he had conversed with the departed a short time before his death, and that he had expressed a willingnrss to die, and had retained full possession of his faculties until ashort time Hpfnre his death." J. L. MOTHFRSHEAD. I have examined the above statements, rv Dr. Mothershead, "nd know trnt thev accord entirely with the facts, in regard to the case, as they occurred from the time I first saw the patient. T.
