Ply, and to enjoy themselves to their hearts con-
tent. After stopping at Fort Washington, and
rambling through the military works at that post,

ST.. LOUIS, July 10.
The awfully hot weather here tends greatly to
aggravate the epidemic which is raging in our
midst. Ii is impossible to describe the distress
which this visitation has occasioned; in many in
stances whole families have been destroyed Hun
dreds of persons have fled from the city, without
even stopping to arrange their affairs. Machsnics
are afraid to work, and, consequently, building in
the burnt district goes on but slowly. II will be a
long time before we can recover from the double
affection with which we have been visited.

OF. LOUIS, July III.
To-day, the cholera is thought to be on the in
crease, though the cemeteries have not reported.
The weather has been exceedingly hot for several
days, and is still very sultry and oppressive. This
tends greatly to aggravate the disease.
II is impossible to picture the distress which has
been occasioned by this terrible epidemic. In some
instances, entire tau,iliss have been swept away.
About 300 presons are below at quarantine, in ac-
cordance with the new regulations.
