THE YELLOW FEvER-The news from the
Southwest is more favorable. There have
been light frosts in southern Illinois, Ten
nessee and Mississippi, and the weather is
not only cooler but clear. There is no
dimnution in the number Of cases of yel-
low fever, but the disease seems to be less
malignant and much more manageable.
In New Orleans the outlook is more en-
couragng than it has been. There has
been a reduton in the mortality, the death
list for two days containing 1873 names. In
Memphis the number Of deaths during the
same period has been 2l0, and the suffer
ings Of all classes are heartrending. In the
remaining twelve cities and towns where
the plague has made its worst ravages the
prospect is brighter. From Grenada we
have the glad tidings that the fever is abat-
ing, and everywhere the physicians and
nurses are recovering their self:possession,
and learning how to fight the dread disease.
| Memphis is still seeing its darkest days,
! but elsewhere the worst seems to be over
The reports of death show the mortality
up to this time to have been over $500
There is no evidence of any further spread
of the disease. and the daily number ot
deaths is growing smaller The Masons ot
! New Orleans desire no further aid from
their fraternity.

and appointed commission to devise
means for retiring the paper currency

THOMAS JEFFERSON said, "Capital may be
produced by industry and accumulated by
economy, but only jugglers will propose to
create it by legerdenain tricks with paper"
And Andrew jackson remarked that "a

particular curse to labor of any country,

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS.
Trade during the week has been fairly ar

seasonablc commodities Offering There has
been some disappointment among dealers and
buyers in regard to fresh fruits, several large
cOnslgnments by Steamboats, having been de.
layed by low water for so long time that on
arrival they were almost worthless. The
promise OF brisk fall business is extremely
good. Very few impo, tant changes in quota
tons are to be reported.

East, aid about as usual from local distrib-
utors The new settlers in the Northwest,

the contrary. From the middle belt OF
counties the grade is generally No ,, and
from the north and northwest it is almost
