SCENE IN New ORLEANS DURING THE

the E following as a sample of some of the pic
lures Of suffering in New Orleans, as Incl
dent to the prevalence Of the yellow fever;
"Those who have never visited the indi-
gent sick can form 10 proper conception OF
their horrible destitution and awful suffer-
iugs. Imagine n woman lying on a dilapi-

BILE by oceuns, aud without a drop of water
by her bedside. Imagine this woman the
mother Of two children--one of whom is
Just oil enough to comprehend the terror OF
the scene, but, Us yet, incapable Of helping
her parent, while the other, an infant
hangs on her mothers breast, striving to

We believe it to be fully matched, in all its

on.
The New Orleans Bee of the 9TH inst.
says:
"Though the pcstilcnce may have inya

belong to the humble poor. While tn
