But two cases of yellow fever have occurred
in New Orleans, so far, this season.

"a SPECIMEN PA Mr.. Foster (Radi-
cal,) of the North Carolina House of Repre-
sentatives, abiding to ''silyerspoon report"
said such charge might possibly be made
against Butler with truth, but not against
him. He then attacked Mr.. Sinclair, who re.
piled as follows:
''Mr. Sinclair said it would be unparliamen-
tary to call the member liar, but neverthe-
less the assertion that he was liar was true,
and he did not think his marital relations we're
matters to be discussed in this House. The
member from Bladcn (Foster,) who wished to
incorporate 10 the bill provision for embalm-
ing bodies, was greatly interested in that bust
ness, for in the pursuit of that occupation at
Wilmington, just after the war, he received an
order from q northern gentleman to disinter
his son, who had died in that place from the
effects of the amputation of his left leg. Eos
ter being unable to find the Identical body, and
disliking to lose his profit, selected body and
cut off one of it's legs When the body reach
ed home, 10 and behold it was found out that
the right leg had been cut off by mistake. The
gentleman OF course discovered the fraud, re-
turned the body, and the carpet bag resurrec-
ZIONIST was left minus his commission"

TIE VIRGINIA SPRINGS A correspondent
of the New York Tribune, writing from the
White Sulphur Springs, after passing culogy
upon that place for its Incompatible sulphur
spring, its delightful atmosphere, and grand
scenery, remarks:
ut is a remarkable fact that in all other
spring regions, especially in Europe, Nature
has been niggardy of her gifts in the direction
in which this district is SO prolific tor 1T is an
unknown circumstance to find, as we do here,
within radius Of so few miles 50 many valua-
bic mineral springs possessing qualities 50
totally diverse as the analyses prove that these
possess.
This fact cannot fail to strike the attentlon
Of all intelligent travellers. Nowhere else on
the globe do We find such natural phenome-
non. The variety OF the springs is astonishing,
and their great virtues no less 50. Aud as II
Providence designed to make this system OF
healing fountains complete, it placed here IN
this district, thousands Of miles from any
volcano, hot spring-the only one Of the
kind in the United States cast Of the MlSsls-
sippi river.
When VIC reflect that these remarkable
springs arc brought together in the Virginia
mountains, whose climate and whose scenery
are alike grateful and admirable, We can never
cease to admire the oycrruling benetlccnce
which has 50 directed their Developments

Gen. Frank p. Blair addressed 4 very large

His speech was principally devoted to the ac-

of the South, and the record Of Gen. Grant.
He charged that the Radicals, having lost the
confidence of the white people Of the country,
had resortel to the support of the blacks.
That it was from no love of the negro race that
they cniranchiscd them, but onI y as a scheme
to maintain themselves in power. lie SAID he
had nothing to say against Gen. Grant per
sonally; that his military service would ever
be remembered with pride; but that since he
had entered the arena Of politics his acts poIlt-
ically were proper matters for public criticism.
He said that Gen. Grant had changed his
views on the subject OF reconstruction NEON,

representatives. from the Southern States, cho-
sen then by the people of those States.
