We learn that Mr.. Langdon, Mayor of the
city, was taken sick yesterday with the prevail

FIRE.-Last evening at dark a bold attempt
was made to fire that beautiful edifce, the Odd
Fellows Hall, on Royal street. Some shavings
were placed in one of the back rooms of the
basement and lighted. Happily the flames were

SPRING HILL CoLIEGE.--The futility of hu.
man hopes and calculations had painful illus
tration at this institution yesterday.
We had just written to our friends in Orleans
that the unexampled exemption from the cpl
demic still blessed the college with its $50 stu
dents-and that its only trouble to it and them
was some two weeks extension Of the fall session,
as the examination had been postponed to the
9th instant, when tidngs reached us that q
case of yellow fever had just occurred, and that
the faculty had at once determined to disperse
the whole of their young flock to-day.
We cannot fathom the feelings of the faculty,
nor share their responsibility. But some who
have sons there yet think the locality more
healthy than those where many occur daily.
The annexed statistics of the deaths from
fever and other causes, with accompanying re-
marks, we take from the Advertiser of the 18th
The epidemic still lingers--more in the envi-
rons than in the city itself. There is still, how
ever, progressive decline in the number of in
terments, as the following table will show:

The FEVER IN BATON RoUGE.-The Board of
Health reported nineteen deaths of yellow fever
in Baton Rouge during the week ending on the
evening of the 11th inst. The Comet of the
18th says:
Since the decline Of the yellow fever in this
place our Samaritans have been at loss what
to do. The Hospital has been closed for several
days. We believe that no new cases are occur
ring, and such as are now sick are, with few
exceptions, rapidly convalescing.
The Southern (Catahoula parish) Advocate,
of the 9Th inst, has the following;
Our PARsH.-So far as we can learn, there is
no sickness now but that which may be denom-
mated ordinary" The weather continues
pleasant, the sky and atmosphere assuming
Somewhat the appearance of Indian Summer,
the nights cool, indicating near approach OF
frost, and people, besides recovering from bilious
attacks, are invigorated by the change from
languishing heat, and appear cheerful, and seem
to feel grateful they have escaped the visitation
of the fell destroyer that has afflicted 80 many
other parishes.
We are progressing in gathering the cotton
crop, which is considered settled in quantity at
from two-thirds to three fourths the estimate.
The feelings are enliyened by the returning
Of the migratory fowls, and hopes are INDUCED
of lively Fall business.
The electioneering excitement is getting up,
and cotton bales are beginning to accumulate
at the landings.
The same paper says that portion OF the peo'
pie of Concordia parish are taking active steps
to bring about the removal of their parish seat
The Harrisonburg Independent, of the 5tf

The weather for some time past has been such
as is generally considered most unfavorable to
health. The heat during the day has been
equal to that of summer. The dust is almost
sitting. We have had no rain Except once or
twice an almost imperceptble sprinkle) for five
weeks--the last having occurred on the 10th Of
September The sky has at several different
times been overcast for two or three days in
succession-every indication of rain would ap-
pear--but only to verify anew the old saw that
&c all signs fail in dry weather" This has now
been the case for the few days just passed,
There have been signs enough to bring dozen
showers in ordinary times; and, as we write,
there is much reason to hope that although
slow, they will prove sure. The general belief
among the sages of the weather is, that rain
would be followed by frost.

were freely offered two to one on her against the

closely by the chesnut, and the issue considered
extremely doubtful. though the weight of opinion

An INDIAN WAR IN OREGoN.-We regret to
learn that official information has been received
by the Government at Washington, that the
difficulties which have for some time existed be-
tween the Indian and white inhabitants of
Rogue River Valley, in the Territory of Oregon,
have reached state Of actual war. The In
dams had murdered several persons, among
others, the Hon. John Il. Hardin and Dr. Rose
The settlers had suspended all business, and
taken refuge in forts. Captain Alden, of the
4th Infantry, stationed at Fort Jones, was at
the last accounts marching to the seat of war
with few regulars and several hundred volun-
teers. Volunteers were marching from other
directions Several hundred Indian warriors
are said to have assembled at Table Rock
many of whom are well provided with arms and
ammunition.
We trust the prompt appearance Of an armed
force will quiet these disturbances without
further bloodshed. [Wash. Star

900 were taken, making the subscription thus
far, with scarcely no effort, nearly 100000 in
Leon. The recent movement by parties inter-
ested in the Brunswick Road, to bring about a
compromise and union between that road and
the Florida, Albany and Savannah Companies,
makes it of the first Importance that active eff
forts be at once made to secure the SS00,0O0
pledged by our Convention
Since writing the above, we learn that indi-
viduals in this county have subscribed the whole
amount pledged by the Convention, to-wit
$89O,0OO. The subscribers are all citizens Of
Leon, and well able to meet their subscriptions
1t is expected that by the first day of January
next at leasttwo hundred hands will be placed
on the road
The stock was taken this morning. Thi.
movement will not cut off th0ther counties il
the middle from the opportunity of sharing il
the cost of the work, but they are still expected
to subscribe literally, as we are confident the,
will promptly do.
We make this announcement with the mos
unalloyed satisfaction, feeling assured that al

SANTA ANNA AND THE MEXICAN ARMY. The
National Intelligencer publishes letter from
the Mexican Legation, showing that the object of
Santa Anna, in raising large number troops,
is neither to overawe the Mexican people, nor
to make war upon any friendly power, but to
repel attacks from Indians, and prevent unlaw-
full and armed incursions from the American
side of the Rio Grande. The United States
Government, it is alleged, has not carried out the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in which it obli-
gated itself to hold in check the wild Indians on
its frontiers, and therefore Santa Anna has been
compelled tosend large force to the Rio Grande
as a matter of sef-protection.
