The Yellow Fever In Charleston.

The Yellow Fever has recently broke out in
Charleston and up the 4th instant there had been
l3 deaths reported. The Courier of the 9th says
We regret to state that City is visited by this
disease, but at the time it affords satisfac
ton to be able to say and statement is confirm
ed by the suboined Bill of Mortality, that its pro-
gress yet is slow, and that it is to be hoped that
with due care and attention but few more deaths
will occur-n fact DR.. Dawson's table shows that
the disease is principally confined to those who have
however, that no unnecessary alarm will be enter
tanned in the community. Every precaution is be-
ing adopted. Ward Committees have been appoint
ed both by the City Council and the Board of HEALTH
to visit such localities as are most liable to be infect
3D. and general cleansing and fumigation of the
city will take place"

The New Postage Eli.

The new postage bill in the amended form in
winch 1t has passed the Senate, it is said, will be
vast improvement on the existing law and afford re-
lief both to the people and to the postmasters from
the misunderstanding which the present complicated
system imposes he advantages of the new bill are
thus pointed out by Mr. Barnabas Bates in commu
nlcatlon to the N. Y. Journal of Commerce
l. By placing all printed matter upon the same
footing, postmasters and the public will be able 10
decide the character of publications, whether news
papers or periodicals, and the postage to be charged
upon them, without appeal to the Post Office De-
partner! or the Attorney General
z Making three ounces the maximum, will en-
brace all the newspapers and vast number of val
liable periodicals, which will be sent by mail in
stead OF private conveyances and thus increase the
revenue of the Post Office
3. One ounce and half will include all the week
y country papers sent within each State at half the
price OF the above. There is no sense whatever in
limiting these papers to the State where published
why not extend the limit, on the other papers to
three thousand miles They are only half the
weight and therefore should have the same priyi-
lege.
T. The payment of postage either ct the Of
nee where newspaper periodical is mailed de-
hvered, is great convenience both to the publisher
ana the pubic, as the postage to Canada Sc, may
be paid at the Office Of mailing.
o. The reduction of postage to one half when paid
quarterly in advance will be great incentive both
TO publishers and subscribers prepay their post
age
g. The distinctions to sending transient papers or
periodicals. which now exist will be effectually
moved by this Bill Instead of preparing fifteen
cents postage on the Journal of Commerce to Cali
tornia will be sent through the post Office for tro
cents. Our California brethren and their friends
Will hail this change with pleasure
