\ private letter written hy Memphis
gentleman TO a New York friend gives q
more thrilling and sickening picture Of pes
tilential horrors in that city than comes 10
the knowledge Of Northern people through
the public Dispatches. In fact, he says the
Memphis papers have failed to record the
fearful extent Of suffering because they
feared that business might consequently
be driven away. Nevertheless. it has been
driven away, and that Is the most trihlng OF
evil consequences. mole amIlles have
been carried cd by .hc yellow fever, and
their corpscs lic unblriod in houses with
no one to attend 10 them. The poor peO-
pie especially suffer terribly. ard when
taken generally live bat a short time
though rich and poor are now afflicted alike.
The undcrtakcrs are NOT able 20 bury them.
and the dead bodies are carried OF in wsg-
ons. sometimes as many as nine in ore cart.
Even the prisoners at the stetIou-h0Uses are
sent out under a guard Of policemen to lay
out the dead and put them in their collins,
a worse punishment perhaps than their SEN
tences provided The Sisters Of Charity
and members OF tie yarioas benevolent So
cietIes who first afforded relief are now be-
ginning to be afflicted to q considerable ex
tent, and the contributions from outside are
not commensurate with the peoples ex-
tremity where sixty-iiyo or seventy deaths
are daily reported and sOubtlcss more take
place. If there was ever an appeal in this
country in behalf Of humanity, this is one.
and prompt response IS the duty OF every
city and town.
