The fever now prevailing in Mem
phis-what is it2 The meeting OF ply
siciSns on yesterday declared it yellow
fever, almost unanimously, and cpl
demic. That there is yellow fever here,
no sane man will deny but do think
that the declaration Of it as an epidemic
is premature. There is a fever prevailing
here equally as fatal as yellow fever,
which, IN my opinion, IS jungle or per-
niciOus feveT-the same in its character
as the fever that prevails in Charleston
and its immediate vicinity. This dis
ease is local, produced by filth and veg
etable decay. Yellow fever is not. II l
am right in regard to the disease, the
first good frost viii destroy il. II it is
yellow fever frost will not affect il, nor
will il disappear until We have q freeze.
I think, il the sense OF the physicians Of
New Orleans could be arrived at, that
they will say that the vast majority OF
fever cases they have had this season Is
the Jungle or perniciOus fever. Mem
phis has hitherto been considered above
the belt OF yellow fever, and If it goes
forth 70 the world that it is not 50, then
capital and enterprise will seek some
other points Of investment.

Mixing Babies,

An Alliance correspondent Of the Canton

some days ago there was a dancing party
given for the benefit Of the Reuians, on the
outskirts Of town, and several Of the ladies
present had little babies, whose noisy perverJ.
ity reouired too much attention to allow their
mas 10 enjoy the hop. A nnmber Of gallant
Young men volunteered TO guard the iniantory

took, as she supposed, her own baby, and
hurriedly len the scene Of gaistiss and started
to their bones several miles apart, being far

W The Richmond Times has found
that there is such thing as the Gov
ernment of the United States-a gov
ernment outside and above that of
Virginia. Gen. Schofield has served
it with the following warning, which
explains itself:
Mr.. Charles II. Wynne, Proprietor of
the Richmond Times, Of Richmond,
Vdr:
The commanding General directs
me to call your attention to an edi-
toral article in the Richmond Times
OF this morning headed "A Black
Mans Party in Virginia, "and to say
that while he desires not only TO per.
nit, but to encourage the utmost
freedom of discussion Of political ques-
tions the character Of the article re.
ferred to calls for severe censure, ,espec-
tally the following words ait is pro-
position which implies that they are
ready to grasp tho blood,stained hands
of the authors of our ruin" are an in
tolerable insult to all sOldiers,of the
United States Army, and no less so to
all true soldiers of the late Confed-
crate army, as they have long since
extended to each other the cordial
hand Of fellowship, and pledged their
united efforts to restore peace and har-
mony to our whole country. The
efforts Of your paper to foster enmity
create discord, and lead to violence,
can no longer be tolerated.
II is hoped this warning will be
sufficient.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

Sorrow.

Sorrow sobers us and makes the
mind genial. And in sorrow we love
and trust our friends more tenderly,
and the dead become more dear to US,
And just as the stars shine out in the
night,so there are blessed faces looking
at us in our grief, though before their
features were faded from our reeol-
lection, Suffering Let no man dread
it 80 much, because it is good for him
and it will help to make him sure OF
his being immortal. 1t is not in the
bright, happy day, but only in the
solemn night, that other worlds are to
be seen shining in their long, long dis
tance. And it is in sorrow-that
of the soul-that we see farthest and
know ourselves natives Of in6nity and
sons and daughters of the most High.

Mr.. Arnell'S Letter OF Acceptance.

Hon. S. NJ. Arnell, Radical nominee
for Congress from the Sixth Tennes-
see District, has responded to tn o let
ter of the committee appointed to ac-
quaint him with the action of the Con-
vention. In accepting the nomina-
tion he says:
Prior to the meeting of the Conven-
ton, | freely expressed to my friends
an earnest desire TO return to the du-
ties of private citizen. Tho war
left me poor, and a public citizen,
faithful to his trust, has neither time
nor opportunity to attend upon his
private interests. Moreover, of all
triaes, the most unsubstantial is pol
itician's reputation. 1t is we'll known
to you that have never sought any
office whatever, even indirectly.
Therefore, the honor that you have
done me l feel more deeply. No man
ever had o braver constituency. The
darker the hour the stronger was the
support that l received. But the past
two years have had its triumphs as
well as its thrilling experiences. Ten
nessee, forced in 81 into rebellion, is
back again into the Union-the proud
daughter of voluntary emancipation,

rights upon tho American continent.

Daniel O'Connell once saved a cow
thief from hanging, though the fellow
was condemned TO transportation. He
afterwards returned to Ireland, and
made himself known to O'COnnell,
and in requital for his services as

valuble secret "If your honor wants
to steal COW go on a dark, rainy
night, and take COW that stands

A Shave and o Sermon.

Luther was one day being shaved and
having his hair cut in the presence of
DR., Jones. He said to tho latter.
Original sin is like the beard. We are
shaved to day, and lookclean and
have a smooth chin; to morrow our
beard has grown again; nor does it
stop growing while we remain on
earth. In like manner original sin
cannot be extirpated from us; it
springs up as long as we exist
Nevertheless, we are bound to resist
it to our utmost strength, and cut it
down INCREASINGLY.
