have to announce that the Rev. Palmer of the First
Presbyterian church, and the Rev. DR.. Walker, the
Presiding Elder (of the Methodist Episcopal church)
of this district, are both down with the fever We
understand Dr. Pamers attack to be very light, and
no apprehensiohs are entertained as to the result
The Rev Mr. William A. Duncan, of the Baptist
church among Others remained faithfully at his post
DR.. Walker was attacked in Baton Rouge, where
we presume, he was soourneying. Our clergymen
as general rules nave performed their duties like
brave soldiers during the progress of this epidemic,
and their labors will be appreciated long after the
scourge shall have passed away. IN. 0. Bull
