Yellow Fever in Savannah.

"Our physicians are being worn down, and
we are beginning to experience the want OF
purses. Chickens are getting very scarce aud
dear, and indeed they tell me many of the
butchers have fed, and the supply of meat IN
the market is both poor aud inadequate.
Chickens aud meat are necessary 10 make nour-
lshment for the convalesciug, and the latter to
provide soup for the poor. Il things ruu on
as they are going for week longer, We shall
need assistance from abroad. You have no
idea of the depopulation of the place. lo Gas
ton street, where we live, between Haber: b: 81
and Abercorn Streets there are nineteen dwell
lngs; ten are absolutely closed, and the occu.
Eants OF the remaining nine are reduced IN
number, only those being at home who have
been obliged to remain.
"a prominent merchant in Savannah writes
as fill VS. to Charleston firm: The fever iu-
creases daily, and We feel DOW that its course
must be worse and worse until the winter
comes, or it is exhausted for want Of subjects.
The writer visits almost daily, for two hours, a
district in which there are not more than two
houses exempt from fever, if not yellow, bin,
Gus aud remi,tent, and the people are all as
poor as it is possible to be-.

The October Election in Ohio.

1t would be az odd and unexpected turn of
affairs if Governor Hayes should fail to carry
bis own State. But this at least is certain,
that within the last few days republicans have
become uneasy and democrats are begionlng to
be hopeful 10 relation to Ohio. A prominent
republican journal Of this city sounded note
of warning last evening, calling 90 the party to

the republicans will not forget to carry the
election 10 Ohio 10 their anxiety to carry the
election 10 ludisoa." We presume this admo.

hopctuness of the democrats as by the tone Of

Columbus which was quite the reverse Of as

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1876.

It is to be regretted that Notwithstanding
the general utility Of the signal service Its
ADMINISTRATIONS failed to prevent the immense
damage that ensued IN every part OF the
couutry over which the recent storm passed.
Had the storm travelled from west to east no.
tice of its coming would doubtless have been
earlier announced, and the line Of its approach
heraded, SO that more preparation might have
been made. AS it was, the announcement OF
the hurricane at Havana attracted little atteo'
ton, and the storm came inland before ootlce
of it's arrival on the Atlantic coast could be
generally disseminated. Had. however proper
attention been paid to the sigual Office reports,
no doubt the damages by the storm might
have been consi ierabIy lesseued. The tull
sphere of the usefulness Of the storm slgnai
system is yet to be attained.
