Extract Of letter, dated Sc. Stephens, Ocso-
Der 8, 1919
"By information from Mobile to the
4th ! find that the fever yet RACES with
out abatement. Very few remain in
town--perhaps not 200. Great is the
distress Of the remaining inhabitants who
cannot remove. ! believe our country
has afforded no example of a fever so
dreadfuiIy mortal. The old inhabitants
of the town, mulattoes, and slaves, seem
in no manner exempt from the disease.
They are now daily falling victims.
Several persons who have visited the town
on business, and staid there few days,
have died at different places on their re-
turn. The weather, since the 10th of
Sept. has been clear, with hot sunshine,
and, generally, north winds, have, in
former letter spoken to you OF the stu-
pid folly Of our citizens in building, or
rather filing up wharvcs, and streets. and
lots, with rotten logs. pine bushes, and
saplings, &G. These were covered with
small quantity Of earth, or swamp mud.
Many opposed the use of such materials,
particularly < our estimablc friend, DR..
Lawton-bnt self interest and sorid ava
rice prevailed over every other consider
alton, and the wharves progressed till the
workmen died in succession, and it is
said that one only Of them is now living.
ALI the cases enumerated by the advo-
Gates of Local Origin of Yellow Fever,
in Our country, if combined, would not,
in MY view, equal the existing causes at
Mobile. Such an immense mass of veg
etable matter, in the most noxious state
of decay About 40 days of rainy, hot
weather All Inferior 10 the 10Th of Sept.
had well prepared the whole mass for the
hot sun and north wind which have since
prevailed. How deadly the exhalations
have been is but too well proved. feel
some consolation m rejecting, that, from
the beginning, ! opposed these fatal
works, and, as commissioner of the
town, made every effort to stop it-but
a majority overruled, to their own des-
truction. Alas? how many Of my friends
and acquaintance have ellen, victims |!
Whose families are gone May we learn
wisdom from our suflerinss !"

melted silver was formed into bars, about
the size of our pig;iron; averaging in
value 2 500 dollars each.
The gold was cast into mould, some
thing like a bowl, and stamped by the
Kings assayers with its value (; general

These bars of gold and silver are re-
ceived into the Kings treasury in pay

country. But many of the owners of
mines, having no use for their money,
pile away their bars of gold and silver in
their cellars where it remains for their
posterity, of no service to themselves or
