QUERY FOR THE SCIENTIFIc.-On Monday, the llth inst. at s o'clock, the tail of kite became entangled in the telegraph wires of line run hing through Main streets, Port Ches- ter. It took fire at its connection with both wires, and the piece be- tween the wires, as well as the tail under the wries, fell to the ground, burned, and went out. This was witnessed by some ofthe most res pectable persons in Port Chester, who are willing to substantiate this statement.-Ne,o Rochelle Ne,os, Ju- ly l5.

may build as many as she can pay for; but we protest against taking thous- ands of acres of Swamp Land belong to the State of Arkansas to pay for building a leyee to run Railroad upon, when road can be built from Helena to Little Rock, without touching an acre of the Swamp Land. We don't ask it ourselves; we are unwilling to give 1t to others. If the citizens of Memphis could get pay out of the Swamp Lands of Arkansas for build ing their road through the bottom, and then get it adopted as the river termi- nus of the Cairo and Fulton road, and get the benefit of the grant of land by the General Government, they would have good time of it; this would be doing business by double entry, with a vengeance. We have no such fears, however. We cannot for a moment think that the people of Arkansas will permit such an outrage on their rights to be perpetrated, as paying for throw ing up levee through the bottom, op- poslte Memphis, would be. The shall low artifce of doing it under the name of retaining land by ditching, will not do-they will have to try something else.

The Fever.

The bills of mortality tell their own story-and a frightful one it is. When we remember that half the unac limated have left the city, and that this class of our population is re- duced to probably less than 5O,OOO souls, a daily record of over lOO deaths, is a fearful thing to contem- plate. We take it that the sciolsts in medicine. and chatterers about will now cease their meaningless dis cussions touching the existence of the fever as an epidemic. When a dis ease carries off m ore than one per cent. per week of the population sub feet to il we should imagine that its ravages might reasonably be termed "epidemic," and that without any curious display of chronological sci ence in Investigating the precise de- riva,ion of the term, but taking it in its ordinary and well understood ac- equation.
 From the evidence before Us, we conclude that the Fever is gradually widening its area. l: is now to be encountered wherever the unaccli- mated abound, though still most of the fatal cases occur in Third and Fourth Districts. It cannot continue much longer at the pitch of intensity which now marks it. Every day witnesses the departure of hundreds whom terror at the unparalleled mortality drives away. In few days all who are not seasoned 10 the climate, and who can possibly quit the city, will have left. The pesti- lence must then abate for want of fuel. There is another chance for us. Epidemics invariably run cer- tain course. They have their periods of commencement, increase, climax, and gradual decline, and disappear ance. They last from six to nine weeks. Already the fever has been amongst us since the beginning of July, if not earlier; we therefore feel a confidence that it will leave us by the end of August.-N. o. Bee, Au- gust 3.
 OBITUARy.-We are pained to an- nounce the demise of MT. CRENsHAw, one of the editors of the Crescent, who died yesterday of the prevailing epidemic. The deceased was young man only twenty-five years of age, and had been connected with the Crescent for about year. He was a gentleman of fine attainnents, and his untimely loss is regretted by a large circle of triends.-B. Aug. 3.
 THE EPIDEMIc,-We are pained to announce that the epidemic still con- tinues on the increase. The inter- ments for the past week, of Yellow fever have risen to the fearful amount of 692. For tie week previous, Tel low Fever intermentS were 429- showing an increase for the past week of 62 per cent.

 OBITuARY.-We regret to learn of. the death of Mir. Stephen Green land. for more than a year past con- nected with the money editorial de- partment of the Picayune.

He leaves a widow and two children to mourn his untimely death. Cop protect them.-D.

THE "UNIoN AND COMPROMISE PREsTDENT.-Three strong democrat ic papers in Ohio, the KaIida Venture, the Lima Aygus and the Ashland Union, denounce in strong terms the appointment of Gen. GILsoN, an abo- litionist, as receiver of the United States land office at Defiance. The Union says the appointment "has been commented on by the whole democratic press of the northwest in a spirit of manly and honorable re. buke." The editor says he knows the appointee well; that the said ap- pointee is an abolitionist; that his ap- pointment twas made in the face of well authenticated charges of malfea- sance as commissioner of the State land office," and that "his fraudulent and lawless official conduct sacrificed the best interests of the population of northwestern Ohio."
