extreme hot weather. Our city still
preserves its excellent good health
Notwithstanding an attempt to get up
a panic by the rumor Of yellow fever
After most searching inquiry, after
Yellow-Jack, he is no where to be
found, the rumor having its origin
in the fact, that three or four cases

Of, but which turned out to be some
thing like Cholera. This city is the
healthiest place of its size in the world,
even though midsummer be upon US
in all its frey order.
There was a person seen mot on
horseback, a la Jones) travelling leis-
urely down St. Charles ST., yesterday
evening, whose face and figure very
much resembled those Of the illustrious
Nesselrode who sojourned but recent
ly among the good people of Baton
Rouge. Ny red-haired friend of the
Crescent, forgot, or mistook the name,
and wrote it "Count IF Gulsmobs,"
though otherwise bis notice of the
simple private traveller is first rate.
Walker, Of the Delta, thinks that the
Counts possessions lay adjacent to
the "Lake Of Como" but that l pre-
sumo is mere conjecture, and wicked
insinuation to prevent the Count from
carrying off some lovely Pauline"
from among his lady acquaintance,
Of which circle of friends, the editor
Of the Delta is said to be rather jeal-
Gus. A son of the Prussian Minister
to the Court Of st. Petersburg, would
be a serious rival of the beaux, among
certain circles, hence the wicked in
situation that the Count is only anoth-
er Claude Melnotte, in disguise. What
right have we poor Yankee pumpkins
to doubt the genuineness Of every be-
whiskered so called Lord, Lady, or
Prince, that pokes his humbugging
phiz, into society here, only to swindle
his way though the circles Of the "up-
per ten"
The news from Europe confirming
the rumors Of the evacuation of the
Turkish Territory by the armies of
Russia, has caused a great sensation
here, or rather it has caused more
talk and discussion, than all the other
events Of the war put together. The
battle and slaughter under the walls
Of Silistar;a, proves that the "sick
man" which Nicholas has been trying
to doctor up, was not SO very danger
ously i'll as he was supposed to be; |
but rather like the Kentuckian who I
had the fever, and in describing his !
symptoms. said he was "grey warm,
had right smart of pain in his head,
and was getting powerfully weak pref
y FAST" The news too Of the great
rauds in the issue of railroad stocks,
y the Schuylers and other parties in
New York, is having its effect upon
his market and we'll it may. When
men like the honorable, spotless, high
oned, manly Robert Schuler, falls be-
ore the wiles Of the tempter, society

friend, honored him as a man, and
would have sworn by him as the en-

Our own great Railroad Companies
viii see the necessity Of having, at all

registers Of their Directory, and the
ftener those books are scrutenized,
he better and safer it will be for all
arties concerned.
The terrible slaughter, upon the
