cludes the fear Of the fever being introduced into
the city this season. Dr. L. P. Blackburn, the
efficient health officer, in giving his report to the
Board Of Health closes thus:
ut is my belief, that not case of yellow fever
has occurred within the limits of the city; and
must add that those who still consider Quarantine
a useless and barbarous relic Of past ages, may be
given over, as insensible to the painest evidence
ever presented to reasoning men. ] hope thai, if
New Orleans should pursue her past course Of
suicidal indifference to her own welfare the city Of
Natchez viii continue to protect herself by Quar-
antine. was no stranger to the many annoy
anees Of this Office had encountered them Il
1871. Had they been ten-fold greater, I should
not have been deferred from acting. I felt conf
dent that yellow fever could be excluded from our
city by an efficient Quarantine; it has been done.
As the subject of Quarantine has been warm
y discussed ii Yazoo city the present Fall, and
as some cases Of fever have occurred here, we
suggest that some one of the numerous advocates
of the Quarantine system, look into the matter
and see if the yellow fever could have been kept
out if our city authorities had established rigid
quarantine early in the season. Let the question
be settled now, for It win be too late next Fall
after the Wooden Horse has got into the city.

HEALTH OF OUR CITY.

It aaords Us much pleasure to state that our
city Is now perfectly healthy at least We arc
eredibly told so at this writing "Wednesday morr-
ing.) The Sexton has no death to report the
last week, and we believe all apprehension Of the
fever spreading in our midst IS over. Our eiti-
zens are, many of them, still absent, and we be-
lieve intend staying away till the anxiously look
ed for frost comes. The weather IS beautiful,
such as only exists in the South at this season Of

the soldiers to arms on the upper deck
The call was promptly obeyed, though eve

ship every moment was going down and
down but there were no traitors. no deser-
tiers, no craVens there. The women and
children were got into the boats, and we're

for the troops-but there was no panic, no

Down went the ship, and down went that

On board the Arctic, the boats were only

So that, in case Of wreck or other accident
