THE YELLOW FEVER AT Nrw-ORLEANs.
The New Orleans papers all agree that in
no previous season for the last ten years have
the ravages of the yellow fever been SO terri
bic as at present. The Picayune says that
business is in the main suspended. and tho
principal occupation of those who have been
so fortunate as to escape the disease, is min
istering to the sick, tending the dying, and
burning the dead. sNew-OrleanS is literal.

the mortality is coRfined almost entirely to
those who have recently gone thither from
the North: persons who have become accli-
mated are comparatively safe from its att
