The facts ixe thus given: On Monday ^afternoon, Dr. Wl V. White was called to ?.'.tend Mrs. Jenkins, a native of Ireland, aged 35 yeaxs, residing on the corner of Third Avenue and 93d street, Yo'rkville, a quarter of the' city, very Tem?te- from quarantine. From her general appoarance, Dr. White beoame convinced that sho was suffering ' from'cholera, and he im mediately applied'the proper rem?dies.' The wo man, however, sunk rapidly, and died between nine and ten o'clock1 on Tuesday morning, The case va? reported to the Sanitary Superintendent of the Board of Health, and Dr. Harris was depu tiert to mako a thorongh examination into thftjns tory pf too woman's Illness, and,.tho. probable oause. It was discovered, on inquiry, that Mrs. Jenkin s'for several days past bad been engaged in emptying theprivyattaphed to the house; using the contents as manure for the garden. On Mon day she was ouo?pi?d a? above until one o'clock P.- M,, when Bhe was seized with violont pains in the stomach, followed ' in' loss than an hour by chol?ra.1 The premises Occupied by the family? which were in a very dirty condition,, were at ohoe opened and ventilated,'by'order of Dr. Harris. The bedding, clothes and ' ntonella / used by the woman were burnt, and the entire premise? siro wed ' willi" ph'?to-chlorido- bf iron, chloride of lime, ond other powerful diaonfectanta. Dr. White has also beon directed .by tho authorities to ex amine tho inhabitants of the house, which con tains flvo families,, and. investigate the condition of each person, rendering thom medical aid If no oossary. Tho occupants were removed from the house . on Wednesday, ? in . order to allow of the premises boiug thoroughly .cleansed.., A post-mor tem examination was held on' the body of the do c?ased? and tho results of the examination are all, characteristic of.oholora. The bowels were filled with rice water-fluid, and Other evidences appear-; ed peouliar to the disease. ;? ? ?? perien??^?IAws^e^of^nW amFklndred diseases,, is of tho opinion Abatibe woman brought the disease upon herself by the filthy work in which she was oilgftgod at the 'time of the attack, and that-the -sickness was not;?ore ?pid?mie cholera.

At two o'olock on Tuesday morning, the Snnday 8ohool building at tached > to-the Union. Street Methodist (colored) Church was set on fire and consumed. A few hours after, tho Harrison Street Baptist (colored) Church was tired, and entirely destroyed. It was a large brick building, or?ctod in I860, at a cost of ii5,000, and was not insured, the policy having run oat two days previous. While this fire waa raging another colored church near by was set on fire, but the flames were promptly suppressed. Bat for the aotivity of the firemen, several of whom were badly injured in their efforts to stay the flames, the destruction of property would have been greater. The city council has promptly offer? ed a reward of $5000 for the Arrest and conviction 'of trie incendiaries. The Petersburg papare and citizens generally call for the prompt and se vere punishment of the guilty miscreants. The Index Bays: j ' . .

Tneeo parties would be glad to havo more defi nite instructions as to the risk tbey run of being sold out, and on tbe receipt of euch as you may doom proper to transmit through my hands, I will publish the same in the papers here for the information of all concerned.

All I can do for the relief of the people of South Carolina in regard to the Direot Tax, has already been done. All sales for taxes have been suspended until Congress should have an oppor tunity of acting definitely upon the subject. I have no power to withdraw too Tax Commission ers, nor to suspend the collection of taxes from those who aro able to poy them. What action Congress will take upon tho subject cannot now bo determined. I did not say to Mr. TBESCOT that the Direct Tax was not to be paid, but merely said to him what I now say to you, that I deemed it to be proper, in tbe peculiar circumstance? of the Southern peo ple, to suspend all Bales of property for Direct Taxes until there had been ampio opportunity for a full consideration of tho subject by Congress, Beyond this, I have no authority to go.
