THE YELLOW FEVER.

New YORK, Sept. l9.-Y esterday the Ply.
scians' Executive Committee issued another
urgent appeal for aid for the fever stricken in
the Gulf cities. The Times thus comments ::
eve apprehend that the extent to which the
South is suffering from yellow fever is imper-
fectly realized by Northern people. Telegraph
ic dispatches tell of its appearance at Pensaco-
Ia and of the continuance of its rayages in Gal
weston and New Orleans, but Of the terrible
misery which it occasions, OF the fearful
mortality, of the inability of the residents
and local authorities to contend against
this scourge, much too little is known
The appeal issued yesterday by the Physicians
Executive Committee of this city embodes
statistics which should startle our people into
more just conception of the case. In Texas
the pestilence is not confined to the seaboard:
Houston alone having a thousand persons pros
trated, and other interior towns in the same
proportion. In New Orleans 20 less than 200
are Frustrated daily, of whom IS per cent die
Even those who do net die are helpless for
many days. The committee estimate that
from 1900 to 5000 patients in New Orleans
at this moment require the unremitting atten-
ton of kindness and experience Without at
tempting to extend the computation to other
localities in which the fever RACES, the reader
may readily imagine the amount OF helpless
sickness and silent suffering which prevail
wherever the yellow fever has made its appear
