Origin of the Yellow Fever at Indianola.

Origin of the Yellow Fever at IndianOla.
The following is from the Indianola Bulletin.
The lesson 1t teaches must be obvious to every
reader:-
Some four or five weeks since small schooner
arrived at this port from Vera Cruz, and among
the passengers were a gentleman and family,
who stated that the yellow fever was raging
to fearful extent at that place, and such were
the fears of himself and family that he hastily
bundled few necessary articles on board OF
this little craft and left In hurry. This vessel
arrived here and came alongside of the wharf,
A drayman, Hunter, hauled them up to the
Magnolia House, when the baggage was aired.
Hunter, the drayman, took sick with the disease
and died.

banks, named Cook, Immediately on the oppo-
site north side OF the Magnolia House, also took
SICK and died. Mexican, who came passenger
In the schooner, and put up at Mr.. Wagners,
slckened and died, and subsequently two others
died in the same house. The blankets and some
parts OF the baggage of these people we're sold,
and thus became distributed around, and there
IS not shadow of doubt but what the disease
that IS now prevailing here originated as aboYei
as being almost surrounded by salt water, ,Whlc a

Dly exist any cause whatever to generate as

hood. These facts alone confirm the ABOVE
opinion,

The President and Secretary Stanton.
The Washington correspondent OF the Boston

The Washington correspondent OF the Boston
AdUert,Ser says:-
Since the fight has become an open one, the
fact may be stated that q few weeks previous to
the adjournment last spring of Congress, facts
came to the knowledge of the War Department
and General Grants Office that convinced Mr.
Stanton and General Grant that difficulties OF a
most serious character would surely follow an
adjournment to December. The earnest i'm.
portunities of these officers alone induced Sena-
tors to hold the power OF meeting in their Wn
hands. From that time the President has waged
a bitter war on Mr.. Stanton, who had thwarted
his deep schemes from the first hour of this
trouble to the present. General Grant has been
in full accord with Mr.. Stanton, and their con-
sultatiOns have been constant. They had long
interview last night. The present action of the
President is openly proclaimed by his supporters
to be but the Inauguration of policy which
will remove all the official obstacles in his way.
The attack through the press and through the
counsel for the defense in the Surratt case upon
Mr.. Stanton and Judge Holt is part of the same
attack, and by the same measures it Is hoped to
force Judge Holt out of his position. There is
also the best authority for saying that the Ad-
ministration is acting in accordance with the ex-
pressed wishes of the Rebels at Annapolis.
Delegates to the Rebel Convention there are
contemplating the removal OF Vice-Admiral
Porter because he has rendered himself obnoX-
ious by his radical views. AS to General Sheri-
dan, the President has broken own for the time
being, under the influence OF General Grant, and
appeals from his own friends, who contend that
the responses from the country show plainly the
great danger of his removal only serving to make
General Sheridan more prominent tor the Presi-
dency. These urged transfer OF the point of
attack to MIR. Stanton, and no movement on
General Sheridan is now looked for till Mr..
Stanton's case Is disposed of.

BLACK LISTS AND TBEIR UsEs.-Regarding the

the bills had become due, the South had

AN ENGLISH OPINION ON MEXICAN Matters
The London Reoiel0 has a sarcastic article on
the Future of Mexico" which deals much more
in history than prophecy. OF the prevalent
European opinions regarding the execution of
Macmillan it says:-'Tt is an indignation which
would be very beautiful but for the unconscion-
able amount of forgetfulness, unfairness and
ignorance which accompanies it," II thus
sums up the case:-"Austria is robbed of one of
her best beloved Princes; France wishes to
conceal her own share in the catastrophe by
drawing the eyes of Europe towards the heinous
nature of Juarez's crime. Let Austria, before
she accuses the Mexicans of being race OF
savages, wipe out the recollection of those glib
bets which, after the capitulation of Komorn,
hung out their ghas:ly trophies in the Hunga-
rian capital. Let France, before she denounces
the deed as an unheard-of outrage, look at
almost any page Of her own bloodstained annals.
Let England remember that the very man whose
untimely fate she deplores did himself publish
one OF the most infamous DEGREES which even
guerilla warfare has called forth, by which any
person belonging to the Juarist army, or who
had sold provisions, horses, or arms to that
army, was to be tried and executed within
twenty-four hours, and that, among others, two
Mexican Generals were thus taken and shot"
