NEW YORK, Oct. 81.
North Carolina dates of the 9th state that
the late frost has materially checked the yell
low fever which is abating. Medical authori-
ties say that it will not be safe for parties to
return. who have not been exposed to the fe-
yer, until cold weather sets in permanently.
The number of deaths from fever will not ex-
coed 1000, consisting mostly of citizens and
refugees. The fever originated from ship
at the foot of Craven street, Newbern, which
was filed up last year by Capt Bradley, with
manure and barrels of rotten beef
The rebel papers appear unanimous in favor
of arming the blacks. The editor OF the South
ern Confederate, in writing home to his paper
from Richmond, says that the pressure brought
upon the authorities here favoring the arming
of the blacks. has been too strong to resist,
hence it is with gratitude I am able to state
officially that arrangements are now being
made to arm for the spring campaign 1000
slaves whose masters are to be compensated by
the Confederate government. The slaves thus
armed are to have their freedom and 80 acres
Of land each, which insures them permanent
homes in the South. aaa

Commodore Joseph B. Hull has been ordered
to report on the 10Th OF November as Com
mander of the Navy Yard at Philadelphia.
Capt. McDougal has assumed the duties oil
Commandant of the Navy Yard at Mare Is
land, California.
The Commission appointed by Gov Sey-
mour. in relation to the vote of New York
soldiers, reached here to-day and Immediately
entered upon business. Nothing definite has
yet been accomplished. They have had sew
eral interviews with the Secretary of War,
who courteously received.
York, charged with fraud in connection with
the soldiers vote, will be taken up tomorrow
by the military commission, of which Gen.
Doubleday is President.
Specimens of the new style of fractional
currency to succeed that now in circulation
have been prepared at the Treasury Depart
ment. Every effort will be made to guard
against counterfeiting, which prevails to a
large extent with the present issue. 1t is
probable that they new currency will be of
Inherent sizes, graduated according to their
several denominations.
1t was published recently that Secretary
Fessenden intended to recommend in his finan-
cial report to Congress the reception Of legal
tenders in payment of customs. 1t is not at
all probable that he has informed any one of
his plans or purposes, or even given an inti-
nation which would justify such a conclusion.
That statement, like Others of kindred specu-
lative character, is scarcely worthy of for
NAL contradiction.
The steamer Keyport, the headquarters boat
at this port arrived, here early this morning,
having on board Maj. Gen. Halleck, chief Of
staff. and other officers who have been to the
front. A ie
The mail steamer Daniel Webster has also
arrived, bringing $50 men of the LIST Maine
cavalry, who are on their way home, their
term Of service having expired. The Daniel
Webster reports that loud cannonading was
heard yesterday morning on Gen. Buffers
front before she left. She brought up forty
rebel officers, from colonies down, who were
delivered to the Provost Marshal. asiA

A CHARMING VocALIsT.-In the article on
"Father Kemp's" troupe in yesterdays Press
no special mention was made of that charming
vocalist, Mrs. EUNIcE T. NICHOLS. She is
one of the sweetest singers that we ever listen
ed to. Her voice is full distinct, and clear,
and as smooth and liquid as the notes ola bob
olink in springtime. We may be no judge Of
artistic music, but we know what strikes the
hearts inmost cords, and we can affirm that
Mrs. N. did this with the audiences at the
City Hall. 1t is worth the price Of a ticket to
hear her sing single song.
The performances of Mrs. GEORGE DEAN
SPAULDING on the Harp are worthy of speci-
al notice. 1t was perfectly astonishing to see
her play, as she did, too tunes at the same
time,-Yankee Doodle with one hand and
Fishers Hornpipe with the other. She has
perfect control of that instrument, and like
Mrs. Nichols has the advantage of a graceful
form, and of a fine personal appearance.

Thanksgiving Day Appointed By JEFF. Davis

Thanksgiving Day Appointed By JEFF. Davis.
NEW YORK. Oct. 81. 3
JEFF. Davis has appointed the 10Th of No
vember for national Thanksgiving day for
the many signal victories which the rebel
arms have been crowned with and for the
iruitfulness Of rebel lands, accompanied by the
energy of rebel hearts. He, at the same time,
acknowledges that the rebel sins merited and
have received grievous chastisement, and
that large districts Of country are swept over
and held by the Union armies. He also be-
walls the use Of colored troops by the Federal
Government.
The Charleston Mercury frankly admits that
the people in the rebel States live under q
despotism; that the rebel constitution has been
violated by the rebel Congress levyiLg d.
rect tax, and that public faith is forfeited by
compelling holders of rebel currency to sacri-
flee one third of 1t. Our late military disas-
tiers, it says, have encouraged reconstruction
lists to raise their heads. g
Rebel accounts of Gen. Grants reconnois-
sance represent terrible Union loss, and put
their own at twenty-five.
