Yesterday morning d rumor prevailed throughout
tho CITY, and appeared to obtain general cfecenco,
thu, Gov. MouroN had ded Of conges,ivc fever
in the parish OF Lafayette. We were unable to
trace this rumor TO any authentic source, aud
believe it at least to be premature. From what
we can learn, Gov. MoUroN has been and con-
tnues lll-whe,her aiarmingiy or not, we cannot
say. We trust that tue report of his death Is
uniounded n. o. Bee, Sept. r.
The Pcayune states that the rumor is entirely
without foundation, Gov. NJ, being conva!csccnt.

Of that vessel from all blame.
