Cholera in the East Described as Terrible Plague
A Washington Chronicle correspondent from Constantinople on September 18 reports cholera deaths in the city totaling about 50 000 across six weeks. The disaster halted commerce, filled barges with corpses, and caused widespread panic among Turks due to diet, tenements, and fatalism. The Mecca pilgrimage is cited as the outbreak’s origin, with massive spread to Damascus and beyond, leaving estimates of Turkish empire deaths at 350 000. Jeffs Treasure details follow, noting $109 000 in loot from Gen Wilson’s Georgia campaign, with portions claimed by Virginia banks and awaiting Treasury decisions.

A long, disjointed letter discusses postwar labor shifts in the South, forecasting population changes, housing upgrades, and rising goods demand driven by emancipation. It recalls trade and domestic goods impacts, then pivots to reports from Virginia and Mississippi about crops, prices, and war-era security. It closes with reaction to Johnson policy and Mississippi regiments.
