city. 1t was brought by the British bark
Sylph from st. Thomas, Up TO yesterday
there were about twelve cases, six dying
| To-day six new cases are reported The
weather is exceedingly favorable for the

they will be quarantined, and refuse to
sell tickets to passengers. They carry

vessels south Of that port are allowed to
come there, and all traders from infected
cities are stopped three miles from the city
and thoroughly inspected by the health Of

An Atlanta, Ga, despatch says it is i'm
possible to find IA correspondent at Savan-
nah, but private dispatches from there give
the following gloomy account OF the cpl
demlc and its effects.
There are over 20OO people sick with
yellow fever at present and 1870 new cases
reported to-day. Besides these, half as
many more are down with other tevers,
Ii is estimated that there are only about
1000 whites and IA 900 negroes in.the city
at present. The fatality is notably among
the weather. classes, latterly. The relief
committee estimates tonight that the daily
expenses for the week will be at least s.
900 per day, and there is no accrued fund
to depend upon Over 5000 people APP
piled for relief to- day, and the destitution
is great. The negroes are, without ex-
cepton almost, dependent on benevolent
societies, and are helped equally with the
whites. Official calls are made to-day up
on other seaport cities for physicians and
nurses, which Will greatly increase the
expenses"
The epidemic in 1854 ended with a black
frost, November 10th, and it is expected
that the scourge will hardly end much
sooner this year

gress OF the epidemic. Every city and
township in Georgia has assisted Savan.
nah to the best Of their ability, but the
matter now has passed beyond local con-
troll and the State now appeals to the en-
tire country for aid.
Reports received here to-day state that
there are over 600 yellow fever cases in
Brunswick, in this State, which is nearly
half the population of that town.
Mobile despatch says there is no vel
low fever there, but the board of health
recommend strict quarantine of vessels
and railway trains from infected places.
The same precautions have been adopted
at Norfolk and Portsmouth.
