RELIEF ASSOCIATION OF THE Cry OF JEFF
FERsoN.-This organization, although not of
long standing, ranks by no means below the
standard in the amount of good it has already
done. Not quite month has passed since its
formation, and they have had under treatment
pa cases, losing but seven of these-a success
which is, perhaps, without parallel during the
experience of the present season.
The Association has not now means sufficient
to carry out its charitable purposes. 1t has
upon its hands. in convalescent condition, 2l0
persons-57 adults and 1853 children, besides q
cases Of fever under treatment. It also affords
support to class of persons rendered helpless
by the ravages of the epidemic widows and
orphans 1t thus appears that the Association
is under heavy expense, and it will be readily
believed that the amount of its funds is entirely
inadequate to meet that expense, when we say
that the statement below exhibits the entire
circle Of their resources:
From Mayor of the City of New Orleans. $3.50
From Finance Committee. ,.............. 500
From Howard Assn, in grocery tickets. $50
From sundry donors .................... 35
Iotai.. ..'...s.......... 81 036
If it can be said that every great evil has its
mite of good, perhaps the terrible scourge which
has been inflicted upon our city has produced
one beneficial effect, in awakening and bringing
into action the better feelings of men, the SYM
pathies with suffering humanity. Certainly it
has produced many charitable associations sim
liar to the above, here and elsewhere and they
should not be permitted to fail in their objects
from the lack of funds

YELLOW FEVER AT YAzoo CITY, MIss.-The
Yazoo Democrat of the 18th says:
1t becomes our painful task to inform our
friends abroad that the yellow fever has become
an epidemic in this place, and is doing its work
of devastation all around us. On Monday night
we had three deaths, Mr.. John W Fuqua, our
ex-Sheriff whose loss to his family and the pub
lie is irretrieyable Mr. Primm, the carriage
manufacturer, who also leaves a large family
and many friends to mourn his loss and one of
the hands on the steamer Alton, which is now
lying up at this place. There were three deaths
on Sunday night also.
There are many others sick some of whom.
we learn, are improving Among the sick is
DIR. Kidd, one of our most eminent and active
physicians He is quite sick now, Tuesday
morning.
The disease is proving very fatal There are
some thirty or more cases now in town The
authorities are burning tar, and spreading lime
all over the city-in fact, doing all in their
power to stay its ravages Nearly all the fam
lilies have left town.
The FEVER IN PoRr Gibson, MIss.--The
Herald and Correspondent, of the 10Th instant,
speaking of the yellow fever in that place, says
Our town is still afflicted with the epidemic
On the 9Th instant, the disease seemed to apate,
and the hope was INDUCED that it would, in a
short time, leave us. But on Tuesday last, it
broke out afresh, and a number of our citizens
'ickened and are now Frustrated. At present,
however, there are no large daily accessions to
The number of the sick, and we believe, as a
