SmEvEPoRT, September 3O.-The most
useful citizens are the victims of the fever.
The Howard Association have opened an
asylum which feeds nearly two-thirds of the
population. The fever is beyond prece-
dent. The doctors say it was imported from
Cuba.
An appeal for relief says: ''There are 700
sick. The peculiar character of the disease
requires peculiarly skillful attention and
nourishing. Hundreds are without means
or employment, whose situation is as heart
rending as the disease itself. We feel that
the great public heart will respond to this
appeal, extorted by most dire necessity.
Our own resources are nearly exhausted,
the wealthy are broken down, the poor are
threatened with actual starvation, the sick
and dying are about to be deprived of the
commonest comforts humanity can offer
them We appeal, not to our fellow-coun-
trymen, but to our lellOw-man for aid

merchant on the other side of the river,

lief alike to all. The interments to-day
were seven from yellow fever; Alexander

Thompson, white, 40 years E. E. Pritzard,

Notwithstanding the exaggerated reports
