From SIOUX CITY.-The steamer Omaha arrived
at ST. Joseph on the sth instant from her long trim
up the Missouri to Sioux City. From the ST. Joseph
Journal we extract the following:
Mr.. Wilcox informed us that nearly three weeks
before their arrival at Sioux City frost fell in thai
section which had ruined full one half of the entire
corn crop. Potatoes, however, escaped uninjured
looked well, and were of the greatest abundance
in that market.
A terrible fatality had broken out among the
Omaha Indians, which had carried off about fifty of
their number, big, little, old and young since their
return from their hunting grounds. The Indians
lay the disease to the Texas fever, or bloody muir.
rim, which had broken out among the Buffalo. They
have thrown away all the meat of the one thousand
buffalo which we stated some time since they had
put up for winter lse and intended to start out on
another hunt in the course of few days.
All of the prairies adjacent to the river in the
upper country as far as the eye could reach on
either side are on fire, and at night are said to pre-
sent scene grand and sublime beyond description
The smoke from these fires was so thick even in
the day time, that the boat could not see to run,
and at one time had to be anchored out in the mid
die of the river on sand bar to escape the devour-
ing element. The fires were also accompanied by
high winds, which delayed the boat three days
coming down.
The Omaha brought down about fifty through
passengers. Mr.. Wilcox informed us that he had
been on the river many years, but never before
mad experienced such long and hazardous trip.

days strong east wind has been blowing, cover

The Houston Telegraph of Wednesday says thai
there have comparatively few cases of fever sincs
Sunday last, and believes that the epidemic is sub
siding, and that their mortuary report will show {
favorable change before the end of the week. Oh
the 18th, there were six deaths, and on the 12tl
five. Passengers, by the boat this morning, speal
of the fever there as being very bad.
The Telegraph also says that during the twenty.
four hours previous there had been six deaths
from the epidemic. Nurses were in great demand.
and the Howard Association called on the beney.
olent for aid.
The fever has broken out in other places near
Houston. The Telegraph says:
The accounts from Cypress, by the Mondays
cars, were very distressing. The number of cases
OF fever had still further increased and Monday
there were three deaths. The Howard Associa-
ton OF this city, We learn, sent five nurses there,
under pay OF s. per day each. We learn of no
sickness at any other station on the Central road.
The news from Cypress is somewhat more favor
able, there being but two or three cases yesterday
considered dangerously sick, though good many
were down.
The Dallas Herald states that the first frost of
the season made its appearance on the morning of
the I'd and Sd, visible only at an early hour. AT
one place, however, it was seen as late as O'Clock
in the morning.
The Telegraph of Monday last has the following
in regard to the fever in Cypress City:
The number of deaths in town since Friday
morning have been as follows: Friday, g.: Satur.
day, 8; Sunday, Z; Monday tto-dayl, 9. We hear
of comparatively few cases since Friday, and we
are inclined to think the bulk of the fever is past.
Our accounts from Cypress City are very pain.
full. This is small station on the Central road,
twenty-five miles from this city. 1t contains pop.
nlation of sixty or seventy persons only. Last
Friday letters were received by the Howard Asso.
out Of ftyfour persons then III the place thirty ,
three, including the doctor, were sick with yellow
fever. On Saturday and Sunday several persons
went up to afford assistance. We learn that since
Friday there have been three deaths. The condi.
ton Of the place is truly deplorable.

To II. d. Summers Esq, Chsirman New Orleans.
From the above it will be seen that Mr.. Well-
first declined the nomination rendered him by the
Opposition party, because lie did not wish to occupy
public position, and that good and sufficient rea.
rons were afterwards urged to induce reconsdera-
ton of that declination, which reconsideration
resulted in an acceptance. No man in the common
wealth stands higher than Mr.. Wells. As a gentle
man he Is above reproach. As a citizen he is
without blemish. As a good true and useful
member of society, he stands unsurpassed. In all
the relations of life he is unexcelcd and should he
be elected to the Chief Magistracy the people Of the
State will have Governor to whom they can point
with nnalloyed pride and satisfaction
The Oppositonists have presented the people with
noble State ticket 1t is filled up unexceptonably
from beginning to end. Its personnel cannot be
assailed successfully by factoniss or partisans for
ii as mpregnable in all the Jeffersonian essentials
OF honesty, capacity and fidelity, as the rock of
Gibraltar
The election takes place three weeks from to-day
So there is no time to be lost and if the Oppo-
s!tionists wish to make respectable fight they
should go into the battle at once, with determine
ton, earlestness and fcrvor, and not relax an
effort, nor lose an hour day until the scene closes
at O'Clock on the evening of the 7th of November
next.
