YELLOW FEVER. - We learn through
private letters thatyellow fever and cholera
are both prevailing to a considerable ex-
tent in New Orleans. Papers of the twenty
third and twentyfourth ultimo make no
mention of the fact. Camden (Ark.) Jour.
nal.
We regret that the Journal failed to give
publicity to the names of the writers.
Neither yellow fever nor cholera have been
or are prevailing in this city this season,
and that is the reason why the papers of
the twenty,third have not mentioned any
thing. The REPUBLICAN has recorded the
fact, which has been officially promulgated,
that two deaths from yellow fever and one
from cholera have occurred thus far.

EMBRYO PoLICEMEN.-The reporters ofthe
Picayuae and Times have happy faculty
of distorting facts and perverting truth to
sgratify their rebel readers who delight to
read the ridiculous statements that every
avenue of approach to the central police
building is thronged with colored men anx-
ious to become policemen, and to aid in
protecting the people of this city from rebel
outrages.
The multitudes mentioned are evidently
not the crowd of rough looking people that
Mayor Conway had around the entrances to
his office, from whom he made a selection of
several men to perform police duty, and to
whom he expects police salary TO be paid
| tor performing no duty whatever.
Nor is it the crowd that daily throngs the
passage.way to the Street Commissioners
office, importuning him and his subordin-
ates for employment and office for them
selves and sixteen hundred others.n
| Nor is it the crowd of men who gather
around the City Surveyors and City Treas
urer's office, and make day hideous by their
opportunities for clerkships or other en-
ployment.
Neither is it the crowd that fills the lob
bies of the two chambers where the City
Council meets every Tuesday night, seeking
offices or contracts.
These reporters might as well let the mat.
ter of ofice.seeking drop while so many
disloyal men are occupying all the space in
and around City Hall endeavoring to OF
tain some compensation for their services
in and fidelity to the Lost Cause which
they do not desert even now, although the
Lost Cause " has deserted them.

vicinity of Amite City, soon revealed the
situation. From Pontchatoula to Amite, a
distance of twenty miles, the crops are sut'
fering for want of rain. There has been no
rain there worth mentioning for the period
of about six weeks. The principal crops
this season are corn and sweet potatoes.
The latter is yet uninjured but in many
places the former is entirely parched, and
will make nothing, There is some cotton

though we conYersed with several rabid

at all derogatory of the fidelity and industry
of the colored population. On the contrary,

more serious and much to be regretted
calamity has befallen nearly every planter
in st. Helena and Livingston parishes. A
disease pronounced by experts as charbonne
has broken out among the mules, horses, and
cattle, which sweeps them off at fearfu,
rate. Scarcely any warning does this disease
give, as a mule is never known to REFUSE
food up to the moment of its death. Deatl
ensues from strangulation caused by {
swelling of the tonsils, which impedes res
