There Of sickness on board with the solitary
exception osa invalid who is repairing to the Springs Of
Arkansas, fofthe benefit Of bis health
We fcundlhe quarantine rigidy enforced at Natchez
and Fcksbu No cascs of yellow fever had yet appeared
Bacon's Landing They have nut up temporary hospital
there All Frscns landing detained from seven
fourteen dag before they SLOWED cutter the city
They may cBeyer proceed freely she the country if
they choose The physician in charge informed that
three ttevsr LAD been landed there from the boats
assured me hat all three likely 10 recover When
he thissurance thought that his own apparent
good healtCheeru countenance courteous and atten-
tive manner were we'll calculated to inepire even sick
man with aAigh degree Of confidence In the exceept
wharf-boat which has been placed at the quarantine
ground in Dc physician who has been placed in charge
Ind in the temporary hospital which has been erected
shore good evidence that whilst the citizens ara
deteimined carry ont their views in relation to the
quarantine they endeayor to do it in consistent
with humanity They take care themselves but at the
same time they make ample provision for the sick and
suffering tlown upon them by disease. Even if we do
accord With them In the propriety of those laws yet
we must highly recommend them for taking good care of
others Whis protecting themselves.

them up q muddy and slippery bank the moment they
land, mustbe sad business Wa saw no courteous,
attentive PHYSICIAN to hold communication with and
subject us inspection yet the gun fred to bring
to- and thsaws relation to communication with the
city are riddy enforced They who land elsewhere and
visit the city frothe country said to be severely
lined they have not prevented the existence
Of yellow fever in the city, with a their precauon We
were informed by gentleman that six of yellow
fever had originated in the city which could traced
to any othe place He gave physician as his authority
for this saement matter of fact known to himself
We may heeatter expect to witness large amount of
logical skand intellectual strength to render the idea
plausible tohe people that these six foreign
and not OF Domestic origin Depend upon it, long
there are mn who live the SYSTEM and who hope that
the people can be persuaded to pay expenses able de-
Tenders willalways be found, aI4
