The Yello,v Ferer at .NeU Orleans.

New ORLEANS, August THE ravages of the
yellow fever are terrible, the whole number of
deaths for the last twenty -four hours have been
two hundred and forty, Of which one hundred and
nincty-fve were from yellow fever.
SECOND DESPATCH. ,-..-
New ORLEANS, August THE fever shows
not the slightest attachments on the contrary, it is
increasing every hour Hundreds are leaving the
city daily. The official repart of deaths during
the week ending on Friday, 9Th instant, pub
lished in the Pcaync, exhibits the frightful num-
Der of one thousand and fifty, of which eight hun
dred and seventy -nine were from yellow fever,
showing an increase over the report of the previ-
Gus week of one hundred and eighty-seven.
During the twenty four hours ending at six O'Clock
Yesterday, a. m, there were in all two hundred
and thirty-elght deaths, one hundred and eighty.
four of which were from yellow fever. The total
number of deaths from foyer alone for eight days,
ending yesterday, were one thousand and seventy
three. .-. ... a"
Another correspondent says the epidemic in ex-
tent amounts to plague. The number of deaths
in twenty.four hours ending midnight, on the 5th,
is two hundred and thirty-eight, of which two
hundred and eight were of fever, and one GENE
terry yet to hear from. Deaths of the present
week will exceed one thousand from yellow fever
alone. The highest number of deaths in 1847, in
one day, was but ninety seven, making the pre-
sent number of deaths an increase of three hun
dred per cent. The city bears truly sad and
desolating appearance. Will not your citizens of
the North take immediate measures for the relief
of our suffering; dying inhabitants? Such is the
appeal through our New Orleans correspondent

sTATE BONDS.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, noticing
the late sale of North Carolina State bonds, says
"The price obtained for these bonds, we under
stand, is higher than was expected to be realized
at the time they were placed in the market, which
is attributed to the exertons of the very intelligent
agent of the State, Mr.. Courts, whose explanations
relative to the resources of the commonwealth con-
WINGED capitalists of the safety and desirablenesS
of the investment"
sale was made at the same time IN New
York, of S4Oo, 900 of the bonds of the Hartford
and New Haven Rail Road Company, which
brought only about one per cent. premium.
The New York Tribune also bears testimony to
the value of Mr.. Courts labors in this matter.
The New York Times says: Credit is due to
the State Treasurer of North Carolina, Mr.. D. w.
Courts, for the manner in which he managed the
negotiation of the first State loan of 100000
His prompt and straightforward explanations Of the
character of the debt and resources of his State,

found to exceed the calculations of his own people

EXTRA SESSION OF THE U. S. sENATE.,


The Senate proceeded 10 the consideration of the
resolution of Mr.. Bfodhead, directing the Secretary
of the Treasury communicate the Senate, al the
commencement of the next session of Congress, a
statement exhibiting the amount of Federal, State,
railroad, canal and all other American stocks held
in foreign countries.
He said this information was highly important, and
would he useful not only the country, but to the
Senate, in the consideration of measures which may
be brought forward during the next Congress in re-
iaton TO revision of our revenue laws. He eXhib
lied few statistics show our immense indebIed
ness, which. he said, constantly increasing. In
this he thought ne some Of the symptoms which
preceded the break down of 1870 He knew that
this is fast age, but regretted 10 many peo-
pie endeavorng to get rich without industry, econ
omy, or ugalily, the living principles OF republic
The prospect Was anything but agreeable to contem-
plate.
Mr.. Seward thought that there was mis-state.
ment in the statistics which the Senator exhibited
and that the facts would 60 far the aPpre
tensions which he had expressed. He expressed
the pleasure hich he would experience in voting for
the resolution. 1t was agreed to.
The Senate went into Executive session, and
after time spent therein, the doors were opened,
and the Senate adjourned.

MEXICO.

Santa Anna has returned to Mexico, and is
doubtless by this time at the head of affairs. His
feelings have been strongly expressed against the
United States, and it is said he returns to power
making declarations in relation to this country
which, if carried into practice, will not be cacula
ted so preserve peace between the two Republics.
Considerable allowance must be made, however,
for Santa Annals vanity, and for the spirit of dem
agogsm he finds it necessary to exhibit in order to
secure the support of the of his countrymen
Mexico it is plain, is falling away befoFe the ex-
ample and influence of the United States. Her
government has been, for years, miserable abor-
tion-her Golfers have been plundered by corrupt
officers-her frontiers have been exposed to the
ravages of the Indians, and she is suffering all the
calamities of anarchy and fraternal strife within.
Santa Allna may be able to bring some order out
of chaos, but even his efforts must be vain to re-
vive the spirit of the nation and put the people
the road to safety and Independence If war should
happen between unfortunate Mexico and the United
States, the responsibility for it will assuredly rest
on the former; the consequence of such will
be- in all probability, the utter extinction Of Mexi
can nationality.

Sc 1t is the duty of Postmasters to give Edi-
tors notice when newspapers are not taken from
their offices. We sometimes learn that our paper
is going to an Office and is not called for, but is
either read by the Postmaster or handed out by
him to the neighbors, for the postage. In all such
cases the Postmaster is bound by law to notify
the Editor that the subscriber does not call for the
paper; and if he neglects to do so, he is himself
responsible to the Editor for the amount Of sub
scription. We are under obligations to many Post
masters for forwarding money, and for promptly
delivering paper and advising us in cases where
it is not called for; but some of them have failed
in their duty in the latter respect. We respectfully
call the attention of such to the matter, and hope
they will give no cause for complaint hereafter.

CASTOR AND WELDON ROAD.

The last Norfolk Argus thus notices tn" COM
petion of this Road, and the proposition for eel
bration of the same:
CASTOR AND WELDON ROAD. This important
INK VIII, we understand from reliable source, be
finished on the Goth of this month, that train of
cars can be run the entire between this
and Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, and al
this last point will bring US in direct connection with
the great Central Railroad that is spreading its
iron arms out south, and vest, through every
section of the rich and productive old North State.
Connecting with the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad
proper, at CASTOR, it places US in immediate contact
with the Roanoke Valley trade hitherto difficult of
access TO city from the tedious navigation between
CASTOR and Weldon. A era is about TO dawn
on our city, and is fit subject for celebration by
our citizens. Feeling lively interest in the matter,
we cordially second the call of meeting OF
merchants, traders and citizens to convene at our
reading room this afternoon at o'clock, to take
steps towards celebrating this propitous event in
becoming manner. 1t remains now only TO make
ourselves acquainted with the people the interior,
and to show to them the advantages of this city for
the sale of their produce and for the purchase Of
their supplies. The railroad companies along the
line will enter into the project, and propose to in
VIte the citizens of North Carolina to visit city
as the guests of people, confident that every house
will be thrown open for the hosptabe reception and
entertainment of our frends.'

We seem to be better acquainted with the mise

owed forth by the fact, that in at least the English

the bad and painful. W have colors to paint every

the highest bliss, that it is nnutterable.
