the yellow fever in that place is even of a
more virulent character than has been pre-
vailing here, and that it was epreadin .
rapidly. A large number of those taken

the disease has been very fatal. We deeply
regret to hear such an unfavorable report.
From the Telegram of the twenty third:
An unusual sound for the pas: two weeks
was heard in our city this morning, being
nothing more nor less than the whistle Of a
steamboat, and that steamboat was the

fear the Jetfersonites would not !e: he.
come into their port.

The unfavorable change in the weather
4 Wednesday night fastened the death OF
hose in q critical condition and developed
number of new cases, most of which were
n the suburbs. 1t is thought the cold spell
yill be OF benefit to those who are able to
tand it. and perhaps cut short the further
xtent of the ravages of the fever into the
Interior There are so many stories on this
ubiect that we hardly know which to adopt
s the standard. and will await further de-
elopmerts. We know of no new cases in
be business portion Of the city. The CID
asses generally were doing well.
