We have received the Portsmouth Transcript
of Friday, 18th inst, in which the editor an
nounces that he will continue to publish the
paper occasionally, not being able to do so reg
ularly from want of compositors. 1t contains
the following in relation to the fever there:
Notwithstanding the decrease in our popula-
ton, probably not more than 1900 to 1000
whites remaining in town, the fever continues
with little if any abatement. About an equal
number Of new cases occur daily, and the
deaths average from seven to ten, as will be
seen by the list below. DR.. Maupin, whose
practice is extensive, informs us that the sick
ness seems to be changing, and the fever, he
thinks, is more of an intermittent character
and less fatal than it has been. The panic in
the community has subsidized to considerable
extent, and the few now left seem disposed to
remain and abide the consequences indeed, it
is matter Of necessity. There appears to be
no alternative, as We are almost wholly cut off
from all communication and association with
" the rest of mankind" But while the doors
of our sister towns and cities are closed against
us, the hearts Of many are open to cur dis
tresses. Liberal contributions have been for
warded for the relief Of the poor and suffering
in our midst, and our hearts are filled with
gratitude to those who forget US not in the time
Of our trials.
In population OF 1000, the deaths average
eight a day. Miss Lucy Andrews, of Syracuse,
New York, had arrived in Norfolk, and offered
her services as nurse, DR.. Sylvester, of the
Norfolk Board Of Health, is dead.
On the 18th, there were twenty nine new
cases. On the 10Th, there was slight abate-
ment in the virulence of the fever at Norfolk,
while at Portsmouth it was more violent than

LAFouRoHE ITEMS ---Last Saturdays Thibo-
daux Minerva says:
The health of this community is most excel
lent at present. There is no sickness worth
mentioning, either in town or the surrounding
country. The nights are cool and pleasant,
while the days are roasting hot.
The Lafourche has risen about two feet
during the last few days, but is now receding
again. Where this rise originated is notknoWn
to the people hereabouts.
Last Saturday evening the special train up
from New Orleans met with serious accident.
short distance this side of Boutte's Station,
the track spread as the locomotive and bag
gage car passed over, and the passenger cars
ran off the track, and were completely wrecked.
Strange to tell, none of the passengers were
severely injured, although all were more or less
scratched and bruised; and we heard that one
man had his arm broken. The brakeman was
thrown distance of sixty feet from the car, and
yet received only slight injury.

A GREAT AND COOP MAN GONE.

L The Hon. Abbot Lawrence, of Massachusetts,
died in Boston on the 18th. His demise has
already been announced in these columns by
telegraph. He was born in Groton, December
IS, 1892, and was highly successful in trade.
For more than fourth Of century he was one
Of the most distinguished merchants Of the
North. The house to which he belonged, a. A,
Lawrence, was favorably known in every port
to which American vessels traded. Throughout
the commercial world the name Of their firm was
synonym for solvency, honor and undertaking
rectitude. His great wealth gave him COM
handing position in the old Wing party, and he
was twice elected to Congress from the CITY OF
Boston. In 1s4s he WIS prominent candidate
for the Vice Presidency Of the United States,
and on the first ballot Mr.. Fillmore only led
him ten votes A compromise was effected, and
MIR. Lawrence was sent to the Court Of st. James,
where he remained as United States Minister
during nearly the whole Of Mr.. Fillmore'sterm.
He represented the United States at the
British Court with rare ability and success.
While he did not in the least sacrifice his dignity
as Republican Minister, he so comported him
self as to become very popular with the classes
that rule the country to which he was accredited
Since 1862, Mr.. Lawrence had been living
retired life. He had been i'll for several
weeks of disease of the stomach similar to
govt. He was distinguished for his practical
business abilities, his political sagacity, his
bonAoniie and grace of manner, his public
and private charities, and his iberality to
literary institutions. He was one Of the frmest
pillars Of the old conservative, high tariff, bank
Wing party, and of course firm Union man.
Thus, one by one, as the once noble old Bay
State needs them most, are her truly patriotic
and sensible men sinking into the grave. AS
fanaticism, treason and infdelity howl loudest
and fercest throughout her domains, those who
alone could stem the black and raging storm
are passing off the earthly stage. Well, per-
haps it is best for the departed sages and chris
tians-those who conferred upon her all her
glory, greatness and renown. Could all Of her
men Of might, of truth and patriotism, revisit
the earth, and compare the Massachusetts of
to-day with the Massachusetts, of former eras,
they would, in bitterness Of soul, anguish and
humiliation, regret that the day upon which
they were born ever dawned upon the earth
But while the lamp holds out to burn, etc
We cannot give the old Bay State up yet. Il
cannot be possible that all the good and true
material is exhausted. If SO, let her go-but
let us wait awhile first.

A HAT AS is A HAr!--- MIR. VIM. Sellers, of
New York, has invented and patented an in
genious continuance for ventilating hat. BY
this invention the wearer can regulate the tenn
perature of the interior of his hat at pleasure
The crown Of the hat is made into two parts,
connected by slides, so that the upper portion
can be lifted apart from the lower, and held up
by the slides; free opening is thus made for
ventilation When the wearer wishes to close
his hat, he merely presses down the top of the
crown with his hands The invention is simple,
cheap and useful, and will doubtless add much
to the comfort of the human race in warm
weather. s.- z.=.
There is one popularity about this hat, how
ever, which should be noticed, which is, that if
you 60 into store and buy one and pay for it.,
it is not your hat, tits still the 'seiers' hat D

morrow evening. If not, next day. Eg..

INDUSTRIOUS AUTHORITY.

According to the Courier, the Louisiana
Americans have illustrious authority for an
important plank in their platform. We copy
the following from its yesterdays morning
edition: @
The Know Nothing Democrats, If there are
any such about,will please remember that Jefer-
son. the founder of the Democratic party of the
Union, when he came to die, requested the fol-
lowing epitaph to be inscribed on his tomb:
Here lies Thomas Jefferson author Of the Declaration
Of Independence the statute establishing religious
tolerance in the Commonwealth Of Virginia.
Well, the Courier may have had on object in
publishing the foregoing epitaph, but as our CO.
temporary is not supposed to DO favorable to
the Americans, we can't see exactly what it is.
honor THOMAS JEFFERSON, no man in the State,
with reputation more valuable than that Of
an escaped convict, will have the hardihood to
dispute
That they profess and practice religious
tolerance to the fullest extent, is equally
clear. They go as far as the farthest. In this
regard, the author of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, or anybody else, never went farther.
In proof of this, we submit the following ex-
tract from the American platform, which
appears in all Of the American papers of the
State:
aWe shall forever continue to protest against any
Infringement Of religious liberty holding it cardinal
maxim that religious faith is question between each in.
diYduai and his God We utterly condemn any attempt
to make religious belief test for political Office and
never affiliate with any party which holds sentiments not
in accordance with these.n
Jefferson never said anything stronger than
the above in regard to " religious tolerance
By the way, has our contemporary ever re-
feoted over an expression attributed to the
aforesaid Thomas Jefferson, that he wished
there was g an ocean of flame /" between the
United States and Europe' And, had his
wishes been realized, how difficult it would have
been for the Courier's political pets to have
accomplished voyage Of emigration across the
broad Atlantic We" pause for a reply"

BY the papers brought US by this steamer, we
find but little of interest, most of the papers
being filed with minute official returns of the
late election in that State Nearly the whole
Democratic ticket are undoubtedly elected,
there having been returns received from all but
fifteen counties, and 1t is not anticipated that
the vote Of these counties will materially change
the maioritiesexcept to swell them considerably.
In summing up the returns, the Galveston
Civilian says:
Pesse's majority, we still think, will be about 5000
votes. 1t is now about 1900 Runnels will have ii is
now about 1000 ahead but from the votes yet to come in
we incline believe his election over Crosby exceedingly
doubtful-ndeed, hardly probable
For the Legislature the Democrats claim to
have elected five Senators and thirteen Repre-
sentatives, but from the following remarks from
the Civilian, we are led to believe that good
many of them are K. Ms in disguise:
In some decidedly Democratic countias WHARF psoso
got the vote appesrs Nothings have been elect
ed without the question being raised Such gentlemen
will hardly misrepresent their constituents in any not
cal issue. Fayette and Colorado decidedly Demo-
cratic vet it Is said, their Representatives are
Layaca and Dewitt are Democratic but have elected X
NJ Soft in Liberty if Mr. Cleveland las some assert is
X N. The county is to l Democratic The x N
question was not raised in the legislative election
the contrary Mr. Cleveland considered as friend
of Pease, and aso Of Gen Rusk leading Democrat of
that county informed us that he supported Mr. c.
dreaming tnat be belonged to the Order
MIR Ardrey, San Augustine, is said to be K yet
his county voted largely for the Democratic ticket
On the other hand in all the counties where the Know
Nothngs organised and had the strength they have
doubtless their own legislative candidates. In this
way they have bad decided advantage over the Demo.
Gratis,
There was some informality in the vote of
Independence, Washington county, and it was
consequently rejected.
