Report or Capt. Armstrong, Of the
Nayy-YellOW Fever at Pensacola
a The Mayor Appeals 10 NeighbOr-
ing Cities for Aid, &C. fs51.i7s.- 81,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The Navy
Department has received a report
from Captain James f. Armstrong,
commanding the Pensacola Navy
yard, dated 9th instant He fears
that on account of the prevalence of
yellow fever that partial suspension
of the work on the Nayy-yard will
add to the distress and suffering
already existing in villages out of the
yard; yet with the heads of depart
ments and many of the clerks sick,
and no responsible person to oversee
the employees, it would be decidedly
loss to the Government to go on with
the work. 90 af-lS A AtN
The Mayor had appealed to the
neighboring cities for aid, physicians,
nurses, and money, to which they
nobly responded, Mobile sending
81 1000. A hospital has been estab-
hshed with the funds received. From
the 9Th to the 18th of August there
were 220 cases of fever and % deaths !;
since then there Is no record. The
citizens on the naval res rye are rails
ing money by subscription to EN-.
ploy. physicians land nurses and
anu tOOo IOI
the destitute. Captain Armstrong
has given them the use of build-
ing in possession of the Government
for the use of the sick, and they hope
to obtain additional aid from some
source As citizens of Pensacola,
they can obtain no aid from the
the. Freedmen's Bureau, although
many of the poor whites and freed
men are residing on the, Reserve.
F There las been twenty one deaths
outsiie aud fifteen in the yards
Many eases now exist and new ones
are appearing There are no. physi-
clans outside the yard to attend to
the sick, though it is hoped the COM
mittee will soon be able to obtain
them. ef
A circular was issued this morning
from the War Department. statiug
that orders have been sent to recruit
ing and other disbursing officers, to
make weekly reports of the amount
of public funds in their custody, and
where such funds are deposited. The
reports are to be made by mail SO that
the use of the telegraph will be re-
duced. Orders are to be sent by mail
as much as possible instead of by
telegraph.

An officer of Gen. Grants staff re-

talk of making him President, that
he would not be President of the

offered; that he was no politician, ,
that he hated politics; that so far as
reputation and honor were concerned
he thought he ought to be satisfied
with what of these he already enioyed
that holding the Office of President
would, mar his present comfort and
drag him into storms and excitements
of politics; that as the General of the
army he had all the work he could

that he, as a soldier, had gained
friends enough in the country with

ARKANSAS TRAVELLER

In the early settlement Of Arkansas, a
traveller, after riding some eight or ten
miles without meeting a human being or
seeing human habitation, came at length,
by a sudden turn of the road, to a miser-
able shanty, in the center Of small clear
ing, in what had originally been a black
jack thicket, whence the only sound that
proceeds is the discordaut music of bro.
kcn-winded fiddle, from the troubled
bowels Of which the occupants is labor
iouGly extorting the monotonous tune
known as "The Arkansas" or "Racken-
sack Traveller" Our traveller rides up to
within few feet Of the door, which was
once the bed frame of cart body, now
covered with bear skins, and hung upon
two big wooden hinges.
After much shouting, the inmate ap-
pears, fiddle in hand aud evidently wrathy
at being interrupted in the exercise Of
his art. The following colloquy ensues,
the indefatigable fiddle still plying the
first strain Of "The Arkansas Traveller"
which in fact he continues, at sudden in
tervals, until the dialogue, as will be
seen, is abruptly terminated. If this be
not seeking lodgings under difficulties, ("

From the Land We Love.]
Land Of the Gentle and Brave!
Our love is as wide as thy woe, -, ~,
1t deepens beside every grave,
Where the heart of hero lies low.
Land of the brightest of skies
Our love glows the more mid thy gloom,
Our hearts, by the saddest Of ties,
Cling closest to thee in thy doom.
Land where the desolate weep!
In sorrow too deep to console,
Our tears arc but steams making deop
Tho ocean oflove in our soul.
Land where the victor flag waves,
Where only the dead are tho free,
Each link Of the chain that enslaves,
Shall bind US the closer to thee.
Land where the sign of tho cross,
Its shadow Of sorrow hath shed,
We measure our Love by thy Loss,
Thy Loss-by the graves of our Dead.
