Spread of yellow Fever Twelve
Deaths and FOrty-fOur New Gases.
New ORLEANS, August 9.--New cases,
forty-four; deaths, twelve.
The yellow fever continues to spread,
and is well distribut' / throughout the
FIRST aud second districts, with occasional
cases in other quarters OF the city. The
board Of health continue the use of car.
bolic acid as a d~isinfectant, but will try
lime in a few days, Mr.. j, G. Clark, gen.
ersl manager OF the jackson road, hay.
ing presented ten carloads of fresh
burnt lime. Arrangements are also be.
ing perfected for irrigsting the city BY
flushing the cutters with river water.
The hopes of the he nth officers oil
checking the disease by carbolisation
seem 10 be weakening. This city ia gene
rally conceded to be in a 6lthier condition
than for fifteen years; in fact, since Gen.
Butler had it cleaned. The fever pre-.
vailing here is Of q mild type, and the
board Of health have decided to continue
the quarantine against vessels from iu-
tected ports, on the ground that a more
malignant virus might be introduced.
The Bee, complaining of the with.
drawal from publication by the board OF
health OF the yellow fever bulletin Of
new cases, observes in regard to the
death register; These reports relate
only to the mortality caused by yellow
fever; at least they are given al such.
Although including some very strange
cases Of dsath-for example, deaths Of

The abolition of town and city char.
tiers does not mean hat there will be no
police or FIRE force; does not mean that
whatever is necessary to have streets in
repair, sanitary regulations, order, and
the preservation Of life and property,
will not exist. But in another and less

of government will be provided for. Let
no fears be entertained on this ground
II is easy to frame aud pass legislation

To be devoured, or not to be devoured,
that is the question, There is a fierce
hunger that all we have will not satisfy
an appetite which, the more it eats the
