YELLOW FEVER IN BUENos AYREs.
This scourge is making frightful ravages
in this fairest of the South American re-
publics. The telegraphic notes of its pro-
gress had not at all enabled us to realize
the shocking state of affairs which the
latest mail advices disclose. When the
disease broke out in the city of Buenos
Ayres, it contained 100000 inhabitants.
OF these, on 18th of April, 12O 900 bad
fled to the plains where they were oamped
in tents or quartered in the huts of the
cattle raisers. The rainy season had just
set in, subjecting the fugitives to discom-
forts of most miserable description. OF
those who remained, in the city, 700 were
dying daily.
Among the Americans resident in Bue-
nos Ayres who have fallen victims to the
disease are Messrs. Edward Spring, Ed
ward EDgert, G.. Walker, John Butler,
VIM. Nicholson, Charles Longford, John
Gibson, Gallagher, Berrian, Arocena aud
three little daughters of Mr.. Raucke. In
view of the suffering prevailing, the Ar
gentine consul general, New York, gives
notice that contributions received at bis
consulate will be forwarded to the United
States minister at Buenos Ayres, for dis
tribution through the local aid societies

The following is comparative statement of
the registration in this city since 1867:
Death of Colonel J. Lnc,us Dap;s IT

Death Of Colonel j. Luc,us Dauis This
gallant man died at his residence 10. Bucking
ham county, on the llth inst. His sickness
was short and severe, ca ing him off unex
pectedly to bis friends. He was a brave and
gallant officer of the Confederate army, and
like many of the same character, fought his
best for the cause he espoused; but when the
war closed took sensible and patriotic view
of the situation and honestly accepted all the
reconstruction measures adopted by the gov
ernment. He held the position of superinten
dent of Iublic schools in his county, and we
are told worked faithfully and zealously for
the establishment and successful conduct of the
colored schools, thus exhibiting liberal
spirit, to which he was never stranger.
q We have recently been informed of circum-
stance proving him to be more than an ordi
nary man. He, with mere handful of meI I.
made vigorous attack upon the forces of one
OF the Federal generals, who was making a
raid near Richmond and was captured while
so engaged. Upon inquiring OF Col. Davis, if
he knew the number of the forces he had
assailed, and receiving an affirmative reply,
he vas asked why be had attem pied such an
imPossibility his reply was, "l was ordered
to do it,"
In the lifetime of that gallant hero, o. Jen-
nings Wise, he regarded Colonel Davis with
special admiration and always called upon him
for his friendly advice and assistance, which
was never denied.
His remains reached the city YESTERDAY by
the Richmond and Danville railroad, and not
Saturday as stated by the Dispatch, and were
followed by number of friends to their last
resting place. Prominent among them, was
General Henry A. Wise, of whom Colonel
Davis always expressed the highest admira.
tion and respect. A noble Virginian has
passed away from us. Peace to his ashes.

THE ENoUIRER's PRoaREss.-A single
ray of sunshine bids US hope for fair
weather-however we may be disappoint-
ed in realizing it.
The Enquirer has progressed so far as to
treat us, this morning, to an able article
favoring the adoption of the narrow in
place of the broad gauge railroad.
It's Democracy has deserted it for once,
and although the subject is so little identi-
fed with political questions, the we'll
known determination Of its party to al
ways oppose progressive ideas, gives Us
hope that this able journal will some day,
however distant, desert the fast sinking
ship, and let her go to the bottom of the
ocean.
Narrow gauge roads are of recent
thought, and incline Us to the opinion that
in few years the laws of equilibrium
will be SO controlled by man, as to enable
him to build railroads and run them sue
cessfully upon one rail only; and we are
not entirely unprepared to see them flying
through the air, without rail or wheel
II you don't want to keep up with the
Improvements, daily astonishing the world,
just stand off, as Jackson's soldier prayed
the Almighty would do, and let us win the
battles.
The next thing we hear of, will be that
the Enquirer is discarded as the organ of
Democracy, because it said there was to
be change in our railroads. Well let
them read you out il they choose, and we
will welcome you on our side, now that
we have satisfied ourselves that there is
some good in you.

Flight Bet,oeen Prominent Men.-We

The Enquirer and the Working men
1T is DETERMINED ON INJUSTICE AND MIS-
REPRESENTATION.
RICHMOND, May Is, 1871

To the Editor of the State Journal.
The present managers of the Enquirer
seem determined to do injustice to the Me-
chanics' Trades Union whenever they
mention the subject of its recent action.
If they expect to gain friends by such
action they are very much mistaken. In
its issue this morning, it says:
There have been no nominations made, as
yet, BY any party. The Trades Union and
the Germans have simply put forward certain
names for the consideration of the Conserva-
tives, some of which will, of course, be &C.
cepted by the convention when it meets, or by
the primary meetings.
have nothing to say in regard to the
action of the Germans but that portion of
the above in reference to the Mechanics
Union is not true That body did not re-
commend, but nominated the men of their
choice to be voted for at the coming cleo
ton. A report was presented to the Union
by committee that the names be simply
recommended to the different ward meet
ings of the two parties as their choice but
that portion was stricken out and failed to
pass by Uery large mcjority-so the ac-
tion of the Union remains as originally in
tended, to nominate and support, and not
to recommend. We are pledged to sup
port our candidates no matter what par
ty ticket they may be placed on, or no
matter what party they may belong to.
Ths action of the Union was regardless of
party.
While we have no desire to die
tate to others, we have the right to say
for whom aue will vote. 1t is useless to
appeal to the Enquirer for justice, and /,
therefore, ask you to insert this card, as
you have always shown disposition to
aid the working classes of all colors and
all parties
| differ widely with you in politics, but
am your friend aud co-laborer in the ad-
vancement of the interests of the working
classes. AN OFFICER OF THE UNION.
