MEMPHIS, Oct. 12-The streets to-day
were almost entirely deserted-no crowds
of citizens gong 10 and from church, NO
pleasure vehicles, nothing but hearses and
attendants flying 10 the cemetery anG &c
quickly returning 10 receive another VIC
tim Of The terrible scourge. The ceremo'
ny Of burial has long since been shorn ol
It's solemn iormality, and to meet the de-
mands for the removal ot the dead, the
undertakers are obliged to move with q
celerily more becoming to merchandise
transports in the busiest season. A vehi'
Gle, containing the visiting committee o
the day OF some reliet association, was
seen to pass OF n rapid pace. But aside
from these the city presented q gloomy
picture. A perceptible change In tenn
peraturc set In about three O'Clock this
afternoon, and by night the fall gaveprom
ise Of frost, In which event check
In the sprcad OF the disease may be ex'
pected. But fearful increase oil mortal
ity willsurely follow. Aslight abatement
OF the disease Is manifest to-day, as bul
few new cases are reported by the various
committees, and but ihirty.two deaths
from all causes.
The following card from Commissary
Agent Ncales, which appears in the Ap
peal tomorrow morning, explains as tc
the disposition Of the supplies furnished
