The FEVER Al TNATcHEzs-The sNatchez Gou-
rir publishes the list of nterments in that city
for the past two months. The first death from
yellow fever this season was on July II. Since
that date to the k]fsinst, there have been 256
deaths, ofswbichs 81 225 have beef from that
dreadful seourge. Up 10 August 1lth the yel-
low fever deaths had been but 5; since that
period aspace Of 36 days. 220 an agerage Of
neaflsix a day In three weeks fromS SAngust
q, to September 13, the deaths were M94ran
average of &Sut day. The populafisn Of
katchez cannot have exceeded during thsCpre-
valence Of the epidemic, 2e0A; many do not ess
innate it atsthat number. Thus during those
illfated three weeks, owe nine per cent of thR
population were taken to the silent tomb. Du-
ring the fortnight from August 27 to September
19sathe mortality was l44-or an average of
twenty and half day. This mortality far
exceeds that Of New Orleans, vast as that was. ]
