YELLOW FEVER IN THE SOUTH

SHREVEPORT, La, Sept. 13.-S p. M.
HON. J. r. WEST, United States Sena-
tor, Washington.
People panic stricken. All that could,
have left. The poor are nearly all on
our hands. No money in the city trea-
sury. All pecuniary aid will be thank
fully received. Fever increasing.
(Signed) SAMUEL LEVY, Mayor.
SHREVEPORT, Sept. 14.-Mr. B. T.
M. Jackson, telegraph operator, died
of the yellow fever yesterday. Mr..
Rae, the telegraph manager, is not ex-
pected to recover.
New ORLEANS, Sept. IA Picayune
special from Shreveport says the dis
ease which is raging there is genuine
yellow fever of very malignant type.
1t is almost impossible to arrive at any
reliable information MS to whether there
is any abatement of the fever. The
sudden change in the weather has
proved fatal to the sick. The Howard
Association is well organized and is do
ing noble service, but there is great
need OF assistance in nurses as well as
funds. The city being almost depopu-
lated, it is impossible to obtain sufii-
cient number of nurses to attend the
sick. There are three physicians from
New Orleans, DIR. Henry Smith, John
J. Reilly, and j. f. Finney. DIR. Hurd
is due to morrow morning.
The Times of this morning says yes
terday's fatality far exceeded that of any
day since the commencement of the
epidemic. The increased number of
deaths was no doubt owing to the sud
den change in the weather, as we'll as to
the increased number of sick. The sud-
den change from hot and sultry, Fri
day, to cold and chilly, no doubt hast
ened some cases, as well as developed
the fever in others. The rain and cold
wind from the north had tn effect to
purify the atmosphere and, in the opin.
ion of our physicians, will be conducive
to the health of those who are now well
and will assist many to recover who
stood the ordeal of the sudden change.
1t is estimated that five hundred per,
sons are d. wn with the fever The
deaths so far amount to one hundred
and forty-six.
A despatch from Shreveport to the
Howard Association reports the arrival
of nurses and physicians at that place.
The disease is pronounced to be genu-
inc yellow fever in an epidemic form.
There has been no abatement to-day.
Another despatch to the Howard As
ISOLATION, signed by Drs. Smith, Finny,
and Reilly, says; "No report you may
have received from here can possibly
exaQQerate the condition of affairs.
They are indeed deplorable. The How
ard Association, in response to further
appeals from Shreveport, will send q
number of druggists and more nurses
tomorrow"

THE YELLOW FEVER.

There is nothing remarkable IN the
fact that yellow fever has made its ap-
pearance in the Southwest at this season
of the year. The disease, though it
frequently makes its appearance earlier,
generally becomes most fatal late in Au-
gust OF il September and continues un-
til the coming OF frost, which in the
country bordering the Gulf Of Mexico
is often postponed until near November.
But it is exactly remarkable that yellow
fever should make its first appearance
in the inland city of Shreveport. For
that city has never before been known
to originate the disease and has never
been visited by it except during the
wide spread fever epidemic of 1853. 1t
is the almost universal rule that if the
yellow fever exists anywhere in the
Southwest it is worse in New Orleans
than in any other locality. And even
when it is doing its worst in New Or
leans and Mobile the inland towns only
short distance from tn ese places gen.
orally find the establishment of quaran-
tine sufficient to guard them against the
spread of the epidemic. The Shreve-
port fever therefore appears to be SINH
lar to that form of yellow fever which is
said to be epidemic to limited extent
each year in New Orleans, and which
is rarely ever heard of out of the squalid
districts of New Orleans in which i. pre-
walls. 1t is also analogous in many re-
spects to the cholera which has recently
prevailed in the West and Southwest,
and which though starting at New Or
leans soon left that city for places which
have generally enjoyed greater i'm
munity from epidemic.
The panic which was created in the
neighborhood of Shreveport by the an
nouncement that malignant yellow fever
was prevalent there has resulted in the
adoption Of such stringent precautions
as to check for time its further spread.
But if the yellow fever has originated in
Shreveport, and there is nothing to
show that it was imported thither, it
may also originate in other places in the
valleys of the Mississippi and the tribu-
taries of the Mississippi. And as the
cholera has only appeared in places
where sanitary precautions had been
lamentably neglected it is probable that
this unfamiliar type of yellow fever will
pursue similar course. Tho cholera
has appeared in no clean city of the
West and Southwest, and the safest pre-
caution against spread of yellow fever
is for every town liable to its visitation
to enter at once upon vigorous mea-
sures for the promotion of cleanliness.

Concerning the recently projected at
tempt to liberate the American forgers,
Bidwell and mcdonnell, from Newgate,
the London Daily News says that GER
tain relatives of these prisoners, within
the knowledge of authorities, had been
for some time in London, and that three
of the warders of the institution were
known to have been in communication
with them. Suspicion was aroused,
these wardens were watched, and at the
opportune moment, after rigid inves-
tigation by the authorities, which re-
suited in the discovery that these three
men had been paid one hundred pound
each to assist in freeing the prisoners,
and that they would have had charge ON
the succeeding evening of the four pris-
oners, and that the release would have
been effected-they were searched, re-
sulting in the discovery of large sum
of money on their persons. They were
all three suspended Immediately. An
other feature of the liberation scheme,
it is said, was to have been an attempt
to rescue the prisoners from the dock
while the trial was in pro gress.

 Our summer boarders have all left us, and Cornwall has again resumed it's usual steady and sober way. No more are it's people permitted to gaze on the beauties (of art,) as they take their daily walks through our streets, showing to admiring lookers-on that paint and white-wash cover multitude of sins.-The cornet band are very much pleased with their victory, from the fact that if they had been beaten, they had all resolved never to return again to civilized life. On their return home how eyer, they received very liberal gift from MT. 1. c. Calhoun, also many other plea sant tokens, which showed to them that the efforts they had made to have good band in Cornwall were not wholly unap- preciated. They were very well pleased with the way the wants of the ''inner man" were attended to at the South Canaan tent, and to the unmarried portion of the band, who are of course highly susceptible to the charms of the ladies, it was like dream ot heaven. Mir. John Bryan, who has been teaching the band for snort time, has re- turned to his home in Waterbury. The band were very we'll pleased with him as a teacher, and would recommend him as a il st class band teacher to all who require hls services. s.-On Sunday night last we had very severe frost, but as the tobacco in our part of the town was all harvested, did not suffer much loss. x.

 The usual scarcity of ''stamps" after fair week is to be noticed. and also the ''hush" of dead heads minus the stamps. The ven- ders of ginger ale and ''pep" beer, (and perhaps something lttle stronger,) have skinned them of most every cent, and now they are living on the interest of what they owe.-Shooting accidents are getting to be altogether too numerous in this place, as another piece of carelessness occurred on Friday of last week. Mrs. l. B. Cohen, while practicing with pistol on that day, snapped the hammer of her revolver four times on cartridge, and it failing to ex- plode she went into the house, and while trying to extricate the cartridge from the pistol, dropped it upon the stove and it ex' ploded. The ball hit her mother, Mrs. A. Herman, and passed through her arm, lodging just under the skin on the other side. Dr. Averill was called in, and the ball extracted. It is nothing very serious, but had the ballet passed one inch higher it would have entered her side, and in all probability killed her outright. This shows that fooling with fire arms is dangerous at all times.-The Congregational Society of this place cleared two hundred dollars on the fair ground last week, which was lit tie better than renting their stand to some one else, as was at first decided to do.- The Court House is nearly done, and almost ready for occupation. Contrary to the first contract, the walls are to be hard finished throughout the building, which will add greatly to the beauty of the interior.

Father Beeson and the Indians.

Dr. Orville Dewey of Sheffield asks us to publish the following account of Father Beeson's lecture in that village Wednesday evening of last week.
 IFor the Connecticut Western News.1
 MR. EDlToR :-According to advertise ment given out in our church last Sabbath, Father Beeson gave lecture at the Meth edist church last night on the responsibility of Christians for the proper treatment of the Indians. Many startling facts relating to the cruelty and frauds perpetrated upon them were presented with authentic testi- mony from official documents. The main object of the speaker was to correct popn- lar mistakes about the Indians, and to awaken true feeling of sympathy and justice in their behalf, for which he dwelt earnestly on the following points:
 First-That the Indians are not treach- erous savages until they are made so by the savage and treacherous treatment of those who rob and oppress them.
 Second-That all the wars between them and the government of the United States (the Modoc war included) have been got up by speculators for the sake of getting their land and to make money by contracts for supplies.
