The Yellow Fever.
- This fearful epidemic is raging to a greater
extent in Mobile, New Orleans and Texas, than
has been known for years. In Mobile, eight to
fifteen deaths are reported daily, and in New Or
leans, seventy to eighty. In Galveston, Texas,
however, the disease is said to be abating from
want of material In the interior towns it is still
raging with great violence 90
More about T. C. Callicott.
AS We informed our readers two weeks ago,
Mr.. Calicott disappeared from New York when
the defalcations in his Office were discovered. 1t
now appears that he went to Washington city by
the first train, in order to get on the good side OF
the Secretary of the Treasury. MIR. McCulloch
gave him patient hearing, promising that he
should have justice, but insisting upon an lnVes-
CATION. After the interview, Mr.. McCulloch COM
menoed q personal investigation Of the facts, the
result of which was notice to Callicott that the
case against him was serious enough to justify his
suspension until it could be fully examined by the
courts. Callicott then returned to New York, was
arrested, and gave bail for his appearance in the
sum Of $4,000. His prospects are decidedly blue.
General Candy and Order, No. 10.
Tile Washington correspondent Of the New
York World, gives the subjoined information as to
the position of General Candy on General Order,
No. 10: ...., g.. ... .s,
General Candy, i appears by official CORES,
pondence has rather mixed state OF affairs IN his
dealings with the processes Of the United States
he has in no wise modified nor suspended Gen.
Sickles' Order No., 10, but acts independently CO
each case which arises under it Where he finds
that debtor is endeavoring to cheat his creditor
he will allow sale to take place but there is good
reason for stating that where he believes that the
execution of the judgment of the court will i'm
poverish the people he will interfere, as did Gen.
Sickles, and prevent the sale.'' T..

creatures, which will suit other attitudes than Vir-

ssLord Brougham, in one of his dissertations
on Subjects Of Science" states "when SOW tar;
rows, each pig-by the action of the abdominal
stantly runs up to one of the teats, which he after
wards regards as his peculiar property. When
more pigs than teats are produced, the latter ones
run to the tails Of the others, and suck till they
die of inanition" This fact in the natural history
Of hogs, illustrates the struggles among the office
seekers in Virginia. The pigs with teats are the
ms, the "tail-suckers" are the OUTS, and the
squealing in the hog-pen is but faint echo of the
usual uproar among disappointed ofice-hunters.
A believer in the doctrine of transmigration Of
souls would think that the sucking pigs are en-
dowed with the procEvities of office-seekers and
transformed into sucking pigs.
