FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2i», 1865.
THE PEOPLES COLUMN.
TIIF, SANITARY CONDITION OF
NORFOLK.
Nougat, Va.. Sept, 27th, 1806.
Editok Post:—l want to second
your suggestions of yesterday morning,
respecting preparations for (hi' much-to
be-dreaded approach of the cholera.
It is so easy, so habitual, with most
people to let Indolence, or, al least, In
difference, carry them beyond the point
of .safety when danger threatens, and
then when tluy are la the grasp of the
begin to deplore, their want of pre
tion for the trial j and, perhaps be*
they can sufficiently recover from
(lie first surprise, to make one real ef
fective effort to meet the danger, they
are so securely fettered and fastened as
to make effort useless.
All this Is especially true of the time
when disease threatens. Habits and
sanitary conditions which, viewed in
the light of reason and prudence, would
t.'k and alarm, arc permitted to exist
exert their weakening, destructive
netice, upon individuals sod the
community, without one serious thought
by those most deeply interested.
For example :—No other part of any
city ever sutlers as much from an Invas
ion of disease as tlie poorer, densely
crowded portions, where dirt and degra
dation ran riot, and accomplish their
work unchecked. Vol, if a warning
voice is heard, or friendly hand out
stretched to save the endangered, it is
the voice or the hand of some favored
one, whoso own life is secure, The Im
perilled walk their death-darkened
streets, and breathe their death-laden
air, with apparent heedlessness of their
danger. For this reason there is a moral
responsibility resting upon the well-to
do, the wealthy and strong, which will
nut permit them, Innocently, to wait for
the cry of distress from the poor deni
zens of the hovel and the hut.
It is known that the occupants
I. he miserable dens which crowd
lonely every narrow, filthy lane in
ol ties, are ignorant of their danger,
so, though death stalk right through
t homes day and night, will pats on
become an easy prey to ally virulent
ase that may casually be introduced
ng them. But this is not a plea for
poor, the degraded alone, bul lor the
, the refined, as weil. If charitable
ives will not induce the better to at
pt the relief of the poorer port ions of
Inhabitants, yet should self-interest
rate to had them to the work, forthu
y of an epidemic is not confined to
first victims, it.- place of beginning.
nay, ere its course is run, have visited
the palace and have destroyed wealth's
fairest and richest treasures, as well as
have given a deeper shade to the dark
life of poverty.
I Ho, rich, nappy neighbor, when, on
our way to the place of business or
leestrre, you pass the street or hovel
here misery and sin, the natural fruits
r poverty and ignorance, are fast ma
iling, do not let the sad sight pass un
•marked, or the terrors which such
vjnes foretell pass unrebiiked. Speak
it your thoughts; tell the people that
miething must he done, or the power to
> may soon be lost. .Seek to save the
linde'd children of wretched poverty
om the fate their own Ignorance hides
ottl their eyes, and so place another
irrier between death and your own
ousehold.
Especially In Norfolk should we think
f these tilings. No city is more ex
posed to infection from foreign ports,
for, though leas intimately and less ex
tensively connected with tuch ports by
commerce than some oilier of the At
lantic cities, yet it is al any hour liable
I, receive the seeds of some malignant
stetnper, which, in a few short weeks,
light 3eatroy one-half of the city.
That the preeeut condition of the lower
ivts of the city is just tuch as would
elp to develop and hasten the work of
icn germs of death when once planted
ere, is patent, to every clear-sighted
person of cleanly habits ami good taste
who has had occasion lo pass through
•my of the narrow, closely-packed alleys
or lanes leading North and South from
Main streel all the way from the Custom
louse to Church street.
It is no exaggeration to say that the
offensive stench arising from the gutters.
ve.s from every square foot of pavement
in these lanes, is really shocking, and it
d 0,.-, seem as though the occupants ol
such places must die of sheer disgust«
their situation.
It may be almost utterly Impracticable
to prevent the inmates of these places of
filthy misery from living as they do,
without any regard to personal or other
decency; but 11 Is practicable to cause the
.'reefs where these dens are tobeclean
!d and disinfected thoroughly, and to be

tho Timet of to-day, he lias omitted to!
state thtxt for a long time the cxchaiit- r <'l
i ceased because the Confederates refused
to comply Willi tlie Cartel in giving up
captured negro soldiers aa ''man fori

paSS, and to quote (lie wolds oi'Mr. Ben

to make a positive denial of the charges
ite has revamped against Col. Dahlgren,
who fell in midnight ambush near
Richmond, brutally butchered, stripped
not only of hit clothing and wooden leg,
the memento from a bullel in battle,but
liis finger hacked off for the ring it iieid!
Yes, his own servant, who in the early
I morning removed the naked, bloody and
mutilated remains from tho roadside to
the shade of a hedge, told me of these
facto; stud perhaps Mr. Benjamin him
self may have seen the carcass when it
was publicly exhibited in the shambles
of Richmond before being thrown, as
the papers said, "to a dungheep for the
dogs to feast upon," and thus add his
testimony to the story.
But, with reference to the papers found
upon the body, can it bo possible that
Mr. Benjamin is not aware thai the doc
ument which it was presumed he had
lithographed in/OO simile and distribu

executed that it scarcely resembled the
writing of Dahlgren, and even the sig
nature was misspelt? This forgery was
exposed with bitter indignation hy Ad
miral Dahlgren, the father of the dead
colonel, published far and wide in the
United States, and never to my know
ledge was the miserable, unmanly trick
lo defame the reputation ofa gallantsol
diereven palleted by the press or people
of Richmond.
The sole object of Dahlgren'a expedi
tion was the release of our suffering sol
diers from the dens of the Lihby Prison.

from one of the ladies engaged Ingettin
iil) the meeting:
Mb. Editoks As the intention of the
meeting of the ladies, which was called
for. seems to have been misunderstood,
will you please publish this explanation.
The meeting was simply to appoint tome
lady who. In cor estimation, would pre
pare the beat petition, in behalf of our
late President, to His Excellency, tin
President of the United states. No de
sire to " excite or Inflame the feelings"
was contemplated by ne, as such aoourst
would have thwarted the great object we
had ill view.
We direct the attention of our reader
to the manner in which this lady allude,
to "our late President," and to " His
Excellency, the President of the United
suites." Mr, Johnson is still alluded to
its the ruler of a foreign government, and
not as "our President." And yet the
writer is no doubt a loyal lady—as loyal
at least as two-thirds of the people lately
in rebellion!

In speaking of the settlement of the
Mexican question and the probable en
forcement of the " Monroe Doctrine,"
the New York Herald says :
There are only two possible issues of
the Mexican muddle—one is by a war,
in which the United States would cer
tainly be victorious. This country m
ow ready for another campaign. We
have the men, the money, tne arms and
the ships all ready for the contest.—
Within a month the government could
have half a million veteran soldiers in
Mexico. These troops would be under
the command of such Generals as Grant,
Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan and Bio
cum, who are unequalled in the world.
Farragut and Porter would command :i
fleet of Iron-cUtds before which tie
mammoth abortions recently exhibited
by France and England would be utterly
helpless. To again Lombard Vera Cruz,
to hind our soldiers, to march on Mexico,
