The Yellow Fever.

The latest intelligence from the

fatal power of the epidemic as fright
full AS to Galveston in Texas, says
despatch, language fails to describe
the consequences of its ravages. Hope
has fed, and absolute desolation per-
vades every thing, with no prospect
of speedy change. Out of five tel
egraph operators, only one is able to
attend to the business, the others be-
ing PROSTATE and i'll with fever. The
fearful malady is sweeping through
tie country towns Of Texas with ter
rible fatality. Indianolo, Corpus Chris
ii, Houston, and many other towns
have been scourged by it, and it is
rapidly spreading into others.
In Houston, an interior town, up to
the 10th of August, TAI persons had
died from the beginning of the season,
5000 had been i'll, and 1000 on that
day were still PROSTATE under It's ter

YlsittO a Soldier Of the Revolution

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Hiramsburg,
Ohio, June %, describes his visit TO
venerable hero: .., %.
:" Having jnst visited John Grey,
the last survivor Of Washington's
army, 1 desire through your columns
to give the public, some account Of
this interesting and solitary veteran.

twenty-five from Cambridge, wo

who kindly offered TO go with us to
the residence of the old revolutionist.
From Hiramsburg we had about a
mile to 20 TO reach the house. ~.
As we entered the cabin we were
met by q sweet.faced little girl of
perhaps thirteen summers, who in
vited us to come in and take. a seat.
We were just beginning to tell tho
little girl the object ofour visit, whom
door on the opposite side of the
room opened and there before us
stood, or rather leaned on crutches,
an old man, bent with years, his
long gray hairs flowing down like
snow over his STOPPING shoulders,

He came lmping up towards us, ap-
parently with great difficulty, and
we arose, and with uncovered heads,
met the old man who stood still for a

raised bis dim eyes and extended his
withered hand to each ofus, saying
to each; 'how do you do'2

"Mr Grey's father fell at White

son enlisted, with Spartan heroism,
at the early age of sixteen, taking
up the musket that had just fallen
from the lifeless hands of his gallant
father. He served until the close of
the war, and was mustered out at
Richmond, Va, soon after the sur

Mr.. Grey's education is very limited,
for he was always poor, and the
poor in Virginia had but little chance
to learn much. Congress last winter
gave him pension of five hundred

Thus should our bridal VOWS be free
From every worldly thought
And though embedded deep in miro
