In the Galveston Civilian Of Monday last we find
the following
Yesterday morning quite panic was produced
among the unacclimated portion Of the population
Of Galveston, on account OF the announcement OF
the appearance of yellow fever. A number OF cases
of sickness had occurred towards the close OF the
week but having the appearance of light bilious
feverS they attracted no attention until Saturday
night, when a young Frenchman named Alphonse
Boucher, recently from New Orleans died with all
the symptoms OF yellow fever. A young lady named
Catherine, employed as a dressmaker at Mrs. Walk.
er's, and young man named Fred, RhodtuS, in the
employment of Mr.. Hinkledey, cOnteCtiOner, died
during Sunday. All these parties were attacked on
fremont street, though two of them were removed
and died elsewhere
Some three others in the family Of Mrs. Walker,
three in that OF Mr. Hughes, and Mir. VIM, Hannay,
all on fremont street, were reported as down with
the disease and there ramOrs of other cases, in
other parts of the town but these are all that We
have heard named.
We hear of no new cases this morning.
The Washington county Register says;
Corn is in abundance in this section and selling at
from 30 to 40 cents per bushel. Owing to the drouh
cotton is not good. In majority OF upland farms
in this vicinity only half crops are expected to he
realized The recent rains were of benefit, causing
the young forms TO mature and cease falling
The Crockett Argus says that young man, Geo.
Dickerson, charged with killing man named Do
noue, was tried before an examining Court at that
place last week. 1t appears that he discharged
on the ground that the act if committed by the ac-
cused was done in order to save the life of his broth
er, who was at the time engaged in a conflict with
the deceased.
The Clarksyille Messenger says, that short time
since young man by the name Of James A. Strother
late of Abingdon, Virginia, while in fit of temporary
arrangement, supposed to be deliram tremens, free
upon, with a Colts repeater, and severely wounded
one William Beatty, respected citizen of Red river
county, and shortly afterwards committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head.
The Indianola Courier says:
The sea island cotton at various places along the
coast we are assured is turning out splendidly
| The staple is remarkably fne-both in appearance
and teXture-aud the yield will be large. Col. S. L
Seawell on Matagorda Island, has beautiful lot o
it. for which he expects to get one dOilGf per pound
/ Considering the perfect adaptedness of our coast
range for raising sea island cotton it is strange that
the cultivation Of it is so comparatively limited.
The Nueces Valley states that the new crops are
coming in in fine style; almost every day loads o
corn are arriving from the country, the owners g
which are compelled to sell at prices reduced ial
below those heretofore obtained in this market
The picking of sea,island cotton had been com
menced, and the yield is proving abundant, and the
staple the best ever produced in the State. one
field, seven miles from Corpus is a sight to behold
it is little less than swamp of cotton plants, borne
down to the ground by their great weight OF bolls
now in the first harvest stage. The Valley adds,
fortun6sawas those who choose to engage in tho
sea-sIand culture in this vicinity. The result thi
season is truly marvellous.

within the last week in this city and its vicinity al
of them being traced directly to vessels which haY
arrived at this port from New Orleans and othe

siding at No. 40 Rutgers street, was yesterday PR
nounced past recovery. These persons had been
work in the lower hold of the ship while she lay 0

likely that other may arise from the same SQUIRE
One other case, in fact, was yesterday reported
