A New ORLEANS correspondent says that
the health of that city still continues to grow
worse; and against all known laws of the vel
low fever it is selecting its victims from
amongst the "native and to the manor born
! Creoles who have never absented themselves
from the city during their lives are not ex.
empt, and with them to have the fever is to
die. Doctors differ as to the character and
the mode of treating the disease, and when
that is the case, the patient has but slim
chance indeed. The steamboatmen have so
far been exempt from this terrible scourge, al
though more exposed than any other class Of
men. The same correspondent writes that
money is very abundant in New Orleans, and
the men of finance are troubled to find EN-.
| ployment for their funds; but hoping that the
incoming crops will relieve them OF their sur
plus, they keep adding to their already too
large amount of coin.

BIOS, exciting them to action, and sIyly init
mating thatit would not be improper for the
Indians to wrest from the hands of the
usurpers (the whites) the lands which they
have so long feloniously held. 1t may be that
this cry will be raised, for the country is
now certainly experiencing the terriers of a
