My DEAR SIR
We are now il the midst of the yellow fever sea
son and although il is not fatal as in former years
il spares not the unaccmated. IL is however the
opinion of Ourbest physicians, that the great i'm.
provemens of the city, have greatly contributed to
modify its vrulence-so that it is not near so fatal
as il used to be in former years, before the streets
were paved.
We have had scarcely any thing to break the
monotony OF Our long dull summer, bun the weekly
bulletins OF duels, some of which have been
very bloody aud fatal This is shock ng trait in
The character OF the Orleaners-they are not ga
siled with pundeflng you, from the Bank Presl-
dent down to the lowest clerk, but ii you dare saJ
any' thing against the system, you are at once
bullied into iight-such is the preponderance OF
villalny and rascalty IN this city. The motto is
"shut your mouth and be robbed" Hundreds of
bankrupts are at this moment riding in their car
rlages and living in fine houses, which they have
managed TO put out OF the reach of their creditors
and this class OF persons composes by tar the lSrg
est majority In this city, 30 that IL is absou ely da "a.
gerous for an honest man to assert his opinions.
J b Perranlt the late abscondlng cashier Of the
Citizens Bank, although advertised ieon, has
had the audaclty to return TO the city, il s said
der an assurance that he will not be disturbed, n-
asmuch as he is no worse than the officers OF the
Exchange, A'chstalaya, and other banks, who
nave pHndered their stoc khoiders of every dollar
they could lay their hands upon. Edward Yorke,
who ls probably asgood as O'Callaghsn, Breedlove
Harod, and host OF others, will probably be in
ved next to return, and will be as cordially taken
by the hands of our CO zens. What think you OF
the state of society III New Orleans Z
News reached here yesterday that Mr.. Morgan
the Collector, was dismissed and Mr. Dorsey ap-
pointed in his place, and it is rumored thst other
changes will take place ia our public officers -
Noas UGrOns We hardly think President Tyler
will dare do such an act now, as he must be satis-
He'd that his days numbered and will, besides,
be much 10 his credit 10 let the wings hare retain
their Offices until Harry Clay comes into power.
New cotton IS arriving every day, and notwith-
standing so much croaking, the prospect of large
crop is certain There is every prospect that busI
ness will be good and profitable the coming season
This city is steadily growing, snd the increase,
and must become second Alexandria, should a
ship canal be cut across the ls,hmus of Papa ma
| think in that she will far outstrp New York,
both in point of business and population.
! Our banks at present in good condition, with
| the exception OF the Union, which every one is
getting shy of The President of this institution
volunteered his services to 10 England to get the
payment OF her bonds put of, but it very doubtful
whsthersuch a man, who has neither weight nor
| influence here, and who has been, in
sure, the cause OF her downfall, will be able to e
feet any ihlGg. The tact is, we have now too ma
ny banks, and while they mlsmanaged they
will never b. able 10 do any good for themselves OF
the community. We have now learned to do with
outthem, and we fnd the specie system to work
well IL will in time make great revolution
both in morals and business here
