Last evening Mr.. Spencer Aston received
| note from Mansfield stating that Mr.. NJ.
L. Wilcox was taken with violent attack
OF the yellow fever, and to either come
down or send docter aud nurse. We fear
our friends who are so far from us in the
country will suffer for the want of good
medical attendance and good nursing, as it
is difficult to get any one here TO go SO far.

There was decidedly a good turn out OF !
our people yesterday-the best we have |
seen in six weeks. The conval escents looked |
a little puny and universally complained |
that they got their strength very slowly. |
The bracng atmosphere, however, put them |
in good spirits, and they chatted hopefully |
of the future, All the stores that had ID |
representative in the city were open, but |
not much business. There were d few |
wagons on the streets from the country |
loaded with cotton. From what we can |
learn but little cotton has yet been moved |
to market by other routes, and the pros |
poets are that with good river we will be |
a ole to do heavy business this season. |
With an early opening OF navigation, say |
the last of November, we shall be able to |
forward at least l50, 600 bales OF cotton 1t |
is on the cards, and if We MANIPULATE them |
right we will do it.
