ny-The weather continues cool and
bracing, and we are informed thar
there was white frost in several pla-
ces in Mississippi, on the nights of the
ed and 23d, all Of which is most ia
vorablc for the rapid decline of the
fever. There have been several new
cases of fever daily in this city, but few
deaths, a, compared with the daily rec
ord # lat week, but We believe the
Epidemic has spent its greatest vlru-
,cnce, and now yields more rapidly to
the treatment Of the physicians .han
it did at first. The Howard Associa-
ton, of New Orleans, sent up on Thurs
day six nurses and two physicians,
which were very importnne, as nurses
las been hard to get in sufficient mum
bers here for love or money. besides
two of our young physicians (Drs L1a'
low and Wi'liam,) have been arrested
in their career of a,se!fullness, by the
enemy which they have been battling
night and day, since its frs>ppearance
among us. We arc happy to say they
are recovering and doing well, We
had heard that the fever had spread
into the country, and had reached the
Cou,ite ard Amite rivers, but we have
nothing authentic, and therefore can
say nothing positive as to its progress
or fatality there,
