Brannan, commanding Fort Barrancas, Fla,
and Gen. NJ Steinberg, post surgeon there,
shows that the yellow fever is raging at that
place. On the 2Ist inst there were six cases.
and on the morning of the 25th fifteen. The
commanding officer on that day asked au-
thority to hire as many nurses as might be
necessary for the fever patients, and ex pressed
the opinion that every one there would have
the fever who had not had it before

" hire as many nurses as you may need. Any
assistance this Office can give you is at your

CITY PROPERTY UNDER THE HAM
MER.

The United States Marshal yesterday,
after due advertisement, and acting under the
judgment of the United States Circuit Court,
sold on the Custom-House steps, the square Of
ground bounded by Canal, Wells, Crossman
and Water streets.
This property belonged to the city and was
seized by w. s. Peterkin, in a suit against
the corporation. 1t brought $3.50, and was
purchased by Jos. Hernandez, Esq.
The square is now covered with small shan
ties, used as barrel houses, negro barber shops,
and oyster saloons, and is adjoining the Chat
tanooga station. This is the first piece of the
citys property sold under a judgment of
court for some time past. and shows how i'm
poverished the corporation is when it allows
this most valuable parcel of ground to go off
under the Marshal's call. The price paid is
very low.

thing has been provided that will enable
visitors to have good view of the race with
out being seriously incommoded The boats
will start promptly at o'clock P. NJ, and
the Pontchartrain cars will run every half
hour from IL NJ, thus affording visitors
plenty of time and opportunity of going to

boats to enter, as was originally intended, it
has now been decided to admit boats of all
classes, and representatives of the first, third
fourth and fifth classes, have already signi-
fed their intention of sailing. It is now q
fixed fact that there will be very large at
tendance of ladies at the regatta, and accom-
modations have been prepared for as many as
will visit the racing ground.
The boats are all said to be in excellent
condition. and are all manned by excellent
sailors. The entries are as follows:

Third Class-Jennie, Maggie Adelia
Fourth Class-John Mahoney, Danae and
others.

stock aggregate of ss4, 600, 900, which, added
! to the agricultural product, sums up the
grand total of 1908 00O, 600, or revenue suf-
ficient to support the armies of one Of the
most powerful nations of Europe.
As have before remarked, this is no exag-
gerated estimate. Manywho are best informed
as to the natural resources of this great valley,
will agree with me that the figures are under
the truth. Is not land worthy an effort
And, further, If we had the aid from the Gen.
eral Government, which we have a perfect
right to expect, would not New Orleans, in
ten years, prove to the world what kind of a
prophet Senator Morton had been!
That this great design will be accomplished
at some future day, no one who has studied
the great Importance of this magnificent val
ley can for moment doubt To put the case
in different and more striking form: What
would be the result if this valley were to be
lifted up and placed through the center Of
Germany just as it is now? Twenty-Five
years would not elapse before it would be
truly the garden of the world, producing an
annual revenue which we are not capable OF
compromising.
I have frequently asked myself the ques-
ton, What an acre of land is worth that will
produce annually two bales of cotton? Real
estate, I believe, is considered valuable
PAoPOItys shot WILL AOtuAa ltb RAICudSo uOAcy
within three years. Upon this hypothesis, an
acre of such land is worth $500. An if we
apply this valuation to the area we have been
contemplating, we have the immense sum of
So $50, 000, 900 as the valuation of this area.
have not forgotten the large revenue aris-
ing from the production of sugar and rice in
the more southern portion of this valley, but
have, as the reader will perceive, estimated
the whole area to cotton and corn. From
this estimate, all will agree that had these
lands, which are adapted to sugar and rice,
been SO computed, the grand total would have
been heightened by several million dollarsj
Again, ask, may we not expect the gov
eminent to aid the now impoverished inhabi-
tsnts; to devise some plan to secure them
from the yearly overdows of this mighty
river? feel confident that it is an easy task
to show to any reasonable person that it is to
the benefit Of the government to grant the
necessary subsidy for. this purpose. know
that the construction of these canals will cost
large sums of money; but the benefits to be
derived are commensurate with the cost. The
question is simply this: Shall the govern
ment step forward to-day and accomplish this
result. and at once begin to reap the benefits,
or shall it be delayed and left to our posterity
to do SO? That it will be accomplished at
some future time is as certain as time lasts.

THE WAR BETWEEN THE
FAITHFUL.
Notes from the Camps.

The war between the two rival factions Of
the faithful for power and plumber, is pro-
crossing, and is likely to continue until one
side or the other is used up. The Clinton
crowd and its allies, Packard and Kellogg
have laid on their arms since throwing that
last bomb, relating to clerks, into the camp
of the ally of the Herwigs and Attorney
General Field.
The bomb did not do much damage. Its
explosion created considerable stir and got
the ally on the rampage, and warned him that
the foe was moving. The Herwig forces are
reused and hand grenade will be thrown
into the camp of the combined forces OF
Clinton, which it is believed, will dispel the
Impressions of neutral parties gazing with in.
terest on the war. 1t will be in the shape OF
a statement showing that the ally of the
Herwigs, the Attorney General, paid out OF
his private funds, for clerk-hire three times
as much money, as was received by the
relative against whom the point is made,
from the State for services as clerk to Mr.
Attorney General.
This will be followed by a small bomb
prepared by the other ally of the Herwigs,
Treasurer Dubuclet also statement show
ing that Stoutmeyer, the brother-in-law OF
Clinton, and general in the army of Clinton,
got over six thousand dollars from the State
And in this connection it will be argued that
if Clinton pays relative for services rem
dered, he cannot complain if the Attorney
General does the same
In addition, by the combined forces of the
Herwigs there will be sent into the camp of
the combined forces of Clinton, the same
BEING a call nv the Attorney GaneraI for tho
vouchers on which the warrants were issued
to the experts, Messrs. Gardner and Cock
burn, both eminently respectable gentlemen,
with no interest in the war except the secur-
ing of their money.
The vouchers called for are those on which
the first warrants were drawn, the warrants
against the fund appropriated to pay costs of
court in cases decided against the State. On
the receipt of these vouchers more informa-
tons will be filed.
To the general public the war possesses
considerable interest, as it shows up consid-
cradle rascality that without the war would
have remained concealed.

A DIVISION OF THE SPOILS.
What a Little Liquor Will Do.

"A few days ago o full account was in the
BULLETIN concerning the robbery of Mr.. w.
F. Culpepper, of Angelina county, Texas, by
a woman named Belle Boynton, living in a
bagnio, on the corner of Basin and Perdido
streets and kept by the notorious Della
Davis, alias "Wild Fury" The two women
above mentioned were arrested, as well as
one W. H. Hurd alias Doc, who was impli-
Gated deeply in the robbery.
On Monday last the three were taken be-
fore Judge Evans, pleaded not guilty to the
charge of robbery, and were placed under
$500 bonds each, which they readily fur
nished, and the trio released As soon as
they got out of the'court-room carriage was
ordered, and they drove to the bar-room of
one Emile Paul, where they met two women,
named Emma White and Emma Clark. The
whole party, rejoicing over their victory be-
gan drinking until they were pretty well
under the influence Of liquor, when propo-
sition was made to divide the money they had
stolen from Mr.. Culpepper
Accordingly the money was produced, and
the division went on amicably until Belle
Boynton's turn to receive her share of the
spoils, and 5000 was offered her. This did
not suit her, and she opened TRADE of abuse
upon Della Davis, which terminated in blows
Davis took Boynton by the throat and admin
istered severe choking.
The screams Of Boynton brought to the
scene Corporal Smith and Officer Kerlin, who
arrested the whole party and conducted them
to the Central Station. As usual, the prison
ers were searched, when there was found in
Belle Boynton's stocking two 500 bills. The
money stolen consisted of eleven 500 bills, q

covered, Boynton turned to Hurd and said,
"You made me steal the money, and then
only wanted me to get 5000"
Hurd, not wishing to be outdone. dvulged
the secret that the money was in a room up
stairs at Emile Paul's bar-room.
The entire party consisting of six, were
locked up.
