THE SANITARY CONDITION OF NEW OR
LEANS.
[ From the Picayme, August l 5.


For some time past the reports of the mortality
have been made up daily. The interments for
three days, made up noon of each day, have
been as follows: Tuesday, 80; Wednesday, 45;
Thursday, 81. Those for Friday have not been
brought in. Hereafter shall publish them dai-
ly.
This account shows a considerable increase over
the mortality of last week, and when the full
ports are made up on Monday the increase will be
still larger.
In another article, we have spoken of the subject
of epidemic epidemic. We have nothing to
add here on that topic, which is merely question
of definition. The facts clear enough, by what
name they may be called.
The fever is undenably on the increase but main
ly in the same localities heretofore afflicted, and has
not spread generally through the community, or
over the city. According to the usual computation
of physicians who reckon the course OF these pesti
lental diseases by cycles of increase, elimination,
aud decrease the turning point must be soon reach
ed, and after next week, at furthes, the number OF
cases ought to diminish
But these are analOgies and specuatOns giving
ground for hopeful views, but they make no lule
which can be set forth grounds for confidence.
The fever, whether call it epidemic not, pre-
walls, and is quite fatal in certain localities of the
city; and we may not be sure, although may
hope that it will exhaust itself there
In the meantime we perceive that the Samaritan
Society have commenced their work Of benevo-
lence, and are making preparations to furnish aid
to the sick poor, who constitute the great bulk OF
the subjects attacked. They are always prompt
to do good works at the call of humanity and duty.
