A aFUe IN the Rear at Gen. 7ay- .
Tor. The Mobile Advertiser, the or
gan Of Alabama Whiggery and at one
time jealous champion Of Old Zac's
election, comes out now with the fol-
lowing Observation-Disclosures:
I "That there is strong feeling a.
mong the Wings Of the Union in favor
of Mr.. Clay as the candidate at the
next election, there is no doubt, but
whether he would, under any clrcum-
stances, consen, again TO be candi-
date, we consider extremely doubtful.
But, should his name be presented,
with his consent, We desire it dis
tinctly understood that WE GO FOR HIM
AGAINST THE WORLD! And further;
we trust the great Wing party of she
United States will support no man who
does. not himself hnoao ,ohether he be
a HAig or a Locofoco, or does not
knoac las oUm opinions on the great,
and leading political questions Of the
day. In regard to Henry Clay, we all
know where to find him. = We know

temporary, the wor d knows him and
admires him; his enemies know and re-
spect him. The people are not willing
to give him up; they are reluctant 10

name. Especially do we. object to anv
course that shall place in the high sta
ton of Executive of this nation any
man who is not Wing openly, boldly,

From the ". O. Picayuae ofthe 18th
inst The Epidem,ic.-Upon the
close of another week we have but a
few words TO offer upon the all en-
Guessing theme of The epidemic. The
number of victims carried off by yell
low fever during the seven days end
ing Saturday morning. at nine O'Clock,
was 400 agains, 427 the previous
week. The total number of inter.
men,s in the city during the same Pc
Rod has been 543 against the previous
week. In the above.we do not reck
on those from this city who have been
inferred at Lafayette. The Charity
Hospital during the week ending last
evening shows total of admission of
800 and 100 deaths of yellow fever
against 445 admissions and 1913 deaths
the previous week. The Lafayette re-
ports show lis ihterments, of yellow
fever for the week, against Ill the
previous week.
Thus it will be seen that upon the
whole the number of deaths is but lery
slightly diminishing, while it is no.
doubt true that the number Of cases
treated is diminishing. The conclu
sion from this is inevitable that while
from the want of victims The reports of
lnterments may appear less appalling,
yet IN fact the yirulence of lhe fever is
increasing with the advance of the sea-
son. This is the usual course of the
epidemic, and we draw therefrcm the
obvious caution of yet closer avoidance
OF exposure on the part of those who
have thus far escaped, and he absolute
necessity of more watchful attention
over those who may now be struck
down. But, above all things, it be-
comes Us to caution non-residents 10
enter the city till frost has efectualy
driven away the pesiiIehce. For the
sake of humanity let Northern editors
dlssuade those an search of employment
from coming here too early. No man
unaccl,mated noaV enters the citu Uih
impunlty, nor can ii be done till we
have had a killing frost-before which
dreary interval yet yawns.
