to the wages of the workingmen of
America. But we are sorry to con-

Yellow fever-The Epidemic In New
Orleans and Texas.

The New Orleans Picayuae says:
The daily report yesterday does not
show an increase in tue number of
deaths from yellow fever, but there
can be no doubt that the disease more
thoroughly ramifes every portion. of
the city than at any former period,
not even excepting that terrible wear
OF 1853. The type, however, must be
much milder and more manageab e
than usual, as statistics prove that but
a small proportion Of those who ere
taken sick die. We would s. r.
ously advise those of our citizens
who are absent from the city, even
though they may fancy themselves
acclimated and not liable to take the
fever. to remain away until frost fer
strangers to enter the city now would
be the hight efoimprudence, and Ia
nine cases out of ten would result In
their takingthe disease.
