ence ia abating the fever. No new cases are

New ORLEANS, September 3.-There is rot
a case of yellow fever in New Orleans. The
Pieayl1e, on the sanitary condition of the
streets, says: "A ProVideatial interposition,
perhaps, has kept sickness from our doors,
and the health of the city has been preserved
in the face of the most utter disregard of
sanitary precautions. The canals are stag
nant with impurity, and vegetation green
and rank covers their surface, and decay
and tester beneath the hot rays Of the sun.
Pools of fetid water, the receptacles of dead
animals, and the sweepings of the levee are
scattered over the Bstture property, reeking
with pestilential disease and filling the air
with sickening odors. In many localities Cit
liens are compelled to close their doors and
windows, and endure a want of ventilation
and the excessive heat of the summer nights
that the noisome smells from the streets may
be excluded. Branches of the city, as well
as State government, seem characterized by
imbecility, corruption, fraud and violence"
SANTA FE, September 3.-The Post of
yesterday had the following correspondence
from Camslla La Masilla:]
Election excitement in this village termin-
ated to-day in the worst ARRAY ever Witness
ed. No exRggeration to say that the plaza
has been literally drenched with human
blood. At present writing, Sunday evening
9th, it is known that seven persons have
been killed, while it is estimated the wounded
reaches as high as thirty, of whom seven or
eight are fatally. From FIVE o'clock this
afternoon till six, the plaza resounded with
pistol shots and groans. For 10 minutes the
firing was incessant and continued during
the rest of the hour. Republican and Demo-
cratic parties had each selected day as the
most suitable time for a grand demonstra-
ton of the campaign, and at an early hour
this morning both parties commenced their
preparations. Leaders were evidently de-
sirOus of avoiding disturbances. The respec.
tive parties formed in procession, and passed
each others place of meeting without any
outbreak. Nothing happened till meetings
had adjourned. At P. NJ, both parties met
in the plaza exchanging different views. A
pistol shot was fired, when a general fight
occurred. Men, women and children hur-
ried TO their houses, but the fight was kept
up from windows and house tops, dead and
wounded falling on all sides. Hon. John La
Mesilla, Republican candidate for Judge, was
first killed. The balance of killed and
wounded are Mexicans.
Another fight took place at Antonchico,
near Los Vigas, in which two persons were
killed and six or seven wounded. The people |
