The ErDEMIc.-This fearful malady,
(says the New Orleans Bulletin, } continues
on the increase, and we can for the present
entertain no well founded hope of any i'm.
mediate abatement. Contrary to all prece-
dents since lSI7, and including that year,
its progress up TO this late date has been
continuous, sometimes factuating from day
to day, but the weekly reports showing a
gradual increase. The returns for the week
ending last Sunday morning at six o'clock
summed up four hundred and sevenly.two
an increase Of twenty. three over the prece.
ding week.
The yellow fever interments for the cor
responding week in 1853, were 200 10 1s47
they were 2i3 in 1854 they were 2SI; in
1855 they were $50. II will thus be seen
that the mortality at this present time is
far greater than at any previous time since

Mexico.

The political condition Of Mexico exci,eS
the sulcsude Of statesmen both iu Europe
and in the United States. A stale with
out Ssyenuc, credit, military force, stable
authority or even recognized head, is an
anomaly among nations. Having no ele-
ments of re-integraiion, no vitaIity-she
is in tha, state by which communities fall
to-pieces and perish, from The absence of
any principle Of cohesion. Her provinces
are as much segregated as her people are
disuni,ed. Those who affect ID be leaders
are engaged in constant struggles for su.
premacy.
Mexico thus presents n puzzle to the
politician. II she had ambitious neigh
bors, as. Poland had, she would bave long
since undergone absorption. 1t is. her in
sulated geographical position which has
preserved her status among the family of
nations. But this cannot endure always.
She has International duties to perform

Mexico is largely in debt. 'her creditors
are clamorous. She has heavy indemni-
ties to make, which those claiming them
are determined she shall soon fulfil.
Now, hoN. is she to redeem the one or
fulfil the other? She has no reliable sour
oes Of public income-no means Of bor-
rowing. She can pay her debts or make
indemnity in but one way. She has to
pay in land. She has to dismember her
self 10 meet her obligations. This is IA
hard fate but how can it be avsrted q
nation that becomes disintegrated by
internal causes Of decay may meet with
sympathy, but this cannot change the
fiat. Sooner or later, dismembe:ment
must be her destiny.
On the supposition that dismenLer.

The Atlantic Telegraph.

We find dispatch in some Of our ex-
chance, dated Augusta, September 2lst, to
the effect that the Atlantic cable signals
have ceased and it is feared that tho cessa.
ton may be permanent. We hope however
that this apprehension is unfounded and
we are by means disposed to believe that
the experiment vii! now prove failure.
