The Fever in Louisiana.

The Concordio InteHigencer of the
2Sth ult. says:
"In Waterproof, Tensas Parish, there
are now more than sixty cases. Quite a
number, We know not how many, have
many, have died. Collins are daily or
dered from!Natchez for that place. Eff
teen nurses and one physician, DIR. Hol-
combe, have gone up from Natchez to
render the needful aid to the sick, as it
was said but six white persons could be
found in the village able to stand on
their feet. The panic, at the breaking
out of the disease, had driven very many
families, and individuals who could leave,
away.
In Trinity, C~atahoula Parish; it is
reported that near a hundred cases are
down, and all is sickness, death, conster-
nation and flight. Persons have been
dcputed to Natchez to obtain physicians
and nurses, but, we are sorry to say,
without success"

The captor of the Malakoff.

The man whose lame is, and will be,
most intimately associated with the stor-
ming of the Malakof, and the glory of
the fall of Sebastopol, is General Bos-
qnct. Pclissier has been hoEored official
~ as the 'conqueror of Sebastopol, but
Bosquet is the man to whom the people
give the glory. A likeness of this man
appears i'll the last number received of
the Illustrated London News. His head
is Napoleonic in its grandeur of outline,
and his fine, large, eloquent eye, promi-
nent, manly nose, a d massive cheek
with firm lines, and his,mouth showing
even under u dropping moustache, iron
decisiveness-impress the observer with
an idea of commanding strength. The
Malakoff hill, with which his name will
beslinked forever; is given on the same
page of the News, and its broken, trench
ed, rugged SLOPES, and the formidable
batteries that frown from its crest, are
a fitting i~mpersonation of its gloomy re-
putation, dyed deep in the minds of men
with rivers of blood. Above it appros
p~riatcly appears the more than Imperial
head of the hero who led the ilnpetneHs4
French rictoriously u is steps through
floods of fire. The brightness of a glo-
rious past, and the shadow of a great
future rest on his face. Ho obtained
distinction early and in the Revolution
of 1913, was among the first to pronounce
for a Republic. He has, from the start,
earnestly opposed Louis Napoleon's pre-
tensions to the throne of France, and is
now an avowed Democrat. He was too
excellent a soldier and too dear to the
troops, to be dispensed wi h for political
reas ons, and, from the beginning of the
war has distinguished himself. 1t was
he who astonished the English at CALI
poll by his powers of bringing order out
of a dire confusion. At the battle of
Alma, it was he who did the important
thing of the day, in scaling the nights
and turning the flank of the Russian ar
my. Without this The day would have
been lost. At Inkermann, he detected
the sham in L%iprandi's faint attack on
and, going on to the assist
of the English at fun speed with
his Zouaves, arrived inst in time to turn
the tide of battle and roll the Russians
in ruins down the hill. And now at the
storming Of Sevastopol, when the storm

important of all, was successful. and he

shipwreck and Loss Of Human

|@N"|
The fine ship Wiliam Penn, of New
Bedford, Captain Cole, from the Chin
cha Island, bound to Baltimore, was
lost on Sunday, S0th ult., off Cape Hat
~teras, and all on board, with the exeep-
~tiehsof one man, n seaman by the name
of Francis Dixon, were drowned. The
editor of the Patfi1t has had an inter
view with Mr.. Dixon, who reached Ball
timore n few days ago. He states that
the ship struck about nine o'clock in the
morning, the weather being fine and
clear, and wind from the southwark and
eastward. About threeshours after she
struck the mainmast went close to the
deck, and soon after the ship went to
pieces, and all on board, including the
captains wife and a passenger, were
drowned. The long-boat, Mr.. Dixon
thinks, must have gone over with the
mast, and this may account for the sad
loss of life, there being but two small
boats aboard, and on the bottom of one
of these he found himself some time af-
ter the ship struck, and on which he was
thrown on the beach, near Cape Halter
as. He states there were twenty five
persons on board besides himself.
We were particular, says the editor,
in showing Mr.. Dixon the account of the
wreck seen by schooner Cervo Gordo,
off Hatteras, on the 29th of September,
but he says it could not have been the
WlAians Penn, as he is positive that
latter did not strike until the next day,
and he further says the description Civ
does not correspond with the IVfAiama
Pentt. Soon after she struck a schoon-
er passed within Mailing distances and on
being hailed by Captain Cole passed on
without rendering any assistance.
The WaAiana Penn was q fine ship
of seven hundred tuns was formerly a
and Liverpool packet, and
at the time of her wreck was owned in
New Bedford. She had on beard a
cargo'of guano, consigned to Messrs. r.
81 Bro, of Baltimore. Cap
Cole was about fifty years of age,
his wife about twenty cight.-BaL

MODIFICATION OF THE CLIMATE OF
NoRTHERN EURoPE.-In 1868 Charles
x, of Sweden crossed the Belts upon the
ice with his whole army-horse, foot,
baggage, aud artillery. Charles was on
his way from Holstein to the attack of
Copenhagen, and passed the Great Belt,
by the islands of Langeland, Lalaud,
and Falster. His ablcst officers endeav-
orcd to dissuade him from the under
taking; but, though hazardous, it was
performed in safety, aud compelled the
Danes to conclude the peace of Roes-
kilde. In a similar manner, during the
war between Russia and Sweden, in 1900
Barclay de FOLLY led a Russian army
from FINLAND across the Gulf of Botma
at the narrowest part, called the Quar-
ken, forty miles wide. But the enter
prise is not likely to be repeated, owing
to the difficulty with which it was at

A Blessing to the Country.

a LAZY nowsona Tisit to Paris, Ten
nessee, has written to a friend here
some particulars of a remarkable aad
most exemplary matron of that vicinity,
which particulars have been communities

Mrs. D, now eighty-seven years
old. She had twonty-thrco living chill

give her one more, to make the round
and goodly number of two dozen. Be-
sides these, she has raised fourteen or
phan children. She has educated thir-
ty childrcn-her own audsa portion of
tho orphans-and for many years sent
nineteenFchildren to school lin Paris,
and their dinners with them. She says
that none of those she has reared aud

and are rich. The boys nave all done

into.Court fer instructions in the case,
but such Instructions were refused them
by the Judge Afterwards, he dolega-
tedsR. II. Rees, the leader of the mob
that attacked Phillips to instruct them
in their duties.
Again, division forced them into Court.
As they came in, the foreman of the ju-
ry, a staunch Atchison man, exclaimed,
T" They can't agree; three are for a pre-
sentiment for murder, FIVE for manslaugh-
ter, and eleven against finding any bill"
After this announcement, the judge
without giving the jury further instruc-
tions sent them back to their rooms,
and caused other business to be brought
before them A majority of the jury
being in favor of ignoring the bill
against Mac Crea, refused to act upon
any other business until the case was
finally disposed of, and therefore return
ed again and again into Court without
making any presentment. After this
farce had continued several days, the
judge adjourned the Court till the sec
ond monday in November, leaving Mac
Oroa still in prison.
1t is said that this adjournment is not
being authorized by no statue and
is in fact a dissolution of court.

The FEVER AT NoRFoLx AND PoRr

The FEVER AT NORFOLK AND PORTS
MourH.-A correspondent from Norfolk
to the Baltimore SIN, writing on tho
9Th inst, says:
"The epidemic is still on the decline
at Norfolk and Portsmouth. The disease,
however, seems to retain its malignant
character, and absentees returning home
at present are almost certain to be taken
down. Rev. William NJ. Jackson, the
late able and greatly beloved incumbent
of st. Pauls has fallen. His earthly
career was closed on Wednesday night
at twelve o'clock, and he was buried yes
terday at noon. His death is greatly
lamented. He was unwearied and cou-
slant in his devout and comforting yisi-
~tations to the sick and suffering. and our
citizens feel that a good man, a true
minister of Christ, has gone. The loss
at suchfa time of distress and calamity
is serious indeed.n
