appearance on the l7th July at this place; from
that time until the 10Th September, the total
mortality was 2SS, and 239 Of which was from
yellow fever. The population Of the city at
that time by the census was 3,4l5. Since that
time, by list recently published, the whole
number of deaths in Natchez and its vicinity,
from 18th July to 18th November, amounted
to $40 whites, 50 blacks. OF this number, 36l
were of yellow fever; so of other diseases, and
Al not reported. The black population num-
bered nearly as large us the white; but it will
be observed that of these; only Al are reported
to have died of yellow fever. Greatest daily
mortality or climax Of the disease in Natchez,
occurred August 29, and September THE
number of deaths II each day.
BATON RoUGE.-The number Of deaths in
the capital Of Louisiana, as reported by the
board of health, were, of yellow fever, 2O2;
other diseases, 33. This was from the 18th
August to the 9Th Of September. Population
not estimated.
Bayou SARA.--The number of deaths here
We're reported to be l24. No dates given, and
no estimate Of population.
THIBoDEAUxvILE.--Her the fever broke
out with great virulence about the first Septem-
ber, and prevailed with marked malignity dur
ing the greater portion Of the month. Between
100 and 200 persons fell victims to its ravages
during its brief, but fearful career at that
place.
NEw ORLEANs.--The disease appeared first
in this city, on the 18th May about six weeks
earlier than its usual appearance, and attained
its climax on the 22d August, when the total
daily mortality reached 283; Of which 239 were
from the epidemic. On the 9th September,
the whole number Of deaths from 2lst May
preceding, were 9,94l; of which 1889 were
yellow fever, aud the daily mortality then
amounted to 95; of which 65 we're from yellow
fever. From that date, we have no compiled
statement Of the number Of deaths from the
reports of the board of health. The disease
continued gradually to abate from that period,
and finally "ran its comrse terminating, or
nearly SO, for ,oant Of material, upon which to
operate, previous to the appearance of frost on
| 25th October last. The total number Of deaths
in the city from the epidemic during the entire
season must we suppose, have amounted to
5000, or nearly SO, being fully one-tenth Of the
population in the period Of FIVE months, from
the epidemic causes; besides about 5000 from
the other usual diseases of the climate

are appointed. The better man he is, the better
is his chance Of keeping the office.
Are the opponents Of this bill afraid to trust
the President with the power to nominate
Are they afraid to trust the Senate with the
power Of confirmation. TRUSTED with it in
regard TO foreign ministers and other high
fhnctionaries, surely there can be no valid rea-
son for denying it to them in this instance.
People nowadays cannot move a peg with
out being accused of making war on the ad
minstration. There was a deaf old woman
mentioned in the Pickwick papers, who, when
ever she saw any hustle or commotion, always
imagined that "the kitchen chimney was on
fire." So is it with the class of politicians to
whom we alude. Nothing can be done that is
not an attack on the administration.
The whole thing is trick and nothing else
They use the influence of the administration as
the old Jews used the sanctuary-as refuge, a
shelter, protection. The administration is
sadly abused, shamefully maltreated by these
gentry. @
Senator'S and members of the House of Rep
resentatiyes, acting under oath, cannot offer
resolution, cannot elect an oiiicer-com-
mittees, cannot report proper and necessary
bills without being accused of making war on
the administration.
Now we have an idea Of our own about this
matter, and it is, that the administration has
nothing to do with these things. Congress is
one department Of the government-the Execu-
tive another. They are independent, at least
should be independent ofeach other.
1t is time to stop this thing. Undeserved
injury is oftentimes done to the administration
by the people to whom we refer.

pE-We learn, from the New York Herald,
that at meeting of the democratic general
committee of New York, lately held at Stnyve.
SAINT Institute, resolution, expressive Of graft
fcation at the election of the publisher Of this
paper, Printer to the Senate, was unanimously
adopted. The course of the Sentinel was
highly complimented in the same resolution.
We also learn that one hundred guns were fred
at the Park when the news Of Mr.. fuckers
election was received.
1t would be idle to say that we are insensibe

We acknowledge with gratitude the kindness
Of our friends

to tender our thanks to the numerous journals

Ger or whether Mr.. Washington be good

treasurer should be appointed as other officers

cratic party of New York.
This was well understood by the freesoil
leaders, and hence their extreme anxiety, and
their patriotic! efforts, 10 maintain the union
of the sections, They we're ready, at Syracuse,
to adopt any platform, to make any ticket, ra-
ther than sever the fraternal bonds which bound
them to the nationals. No doubt they came
there backed by q gang of bulies and despera-
does, prepared to do their bidding. But is this
circumstance at all essential to the Justification
Of what followed? BY no means. M
The union of the sections was dissolved, and
thereby the process Of abolitionizing the demo-
cratic party of the north which was being
steadily and stealthily prosecuted, was suddenly
arrested. Hence the deepseated ire and unap-
peasable wrath which has been excited.
The democracy of the Union may never
know what they owe to the resolution and firm
ness of the adamantines Of New York; because
the effect of the mannerin which the patronage
Of the government has been distributed here is
what democrats out Of the State cannot see. IL
requires that intimate knowledge Of New York
politicians, Of their antecedents, their sympa.
thies, and their alliances, to appreciate this
part of the conduct Of the administration,
which none but New York men can have.
The mere comparison of the number of free
soil and national appointments proves nothing !;
and yet this is all that democrats in, other
States can see. The national men of New
York, therefore, are to be tried by tribunal
i. ally understand their case
Something, however, oug.. !" pe in'efrea =
from the poiitical necessities of the secretary o.
State. He had been the unyielding opponent
OF General Cass in the Baltimore convention,

would rebound to bis advantage. he was the
