The Nicksburg doctors, so the Herald says,
are standing faithfully at their posts. This
is right.-COiumbus Iadcr.
OF allthe men the physicians and
the ministers of the gospel should
unfinchingly stand to their posts
during seasons of danger and suf-
tering in which they can render
such timely service. The Great
Physician and Minister, when he
healed the sick, or went to aid and
comfort the suffering, cared not
what the disease was, nor the
source of the suffering. He healed
and he comforted, and he was not
afraid. The physician or minister
who would desert in such times as
these is unworthy of his high and
responsible calling.

HE1RTLESS

In the dispatches of last week
there vas mentioned the case of a
husband who was absent from
Memphis at the time the yellow
fever broke out in that city, and
when te.egraphed that his wife and
child were sick with the dreadful
disease, answered the telegram as
follows: "Take care of my family"
Since this dispatch was made pub.
lie considerable inquiry has been
made for the name of the cowardly
wretch who would thus desert his
family in the trying time of danger,
and allow them to suffer and die
without his personal attention. His
name is JOHN DONOVAN, and it
should be published in every news.

EXTRA SESSION.

We notice some of our State ex.

the suffering by yellow fever of our
citizens in V~icksburg, Grenada and

extra session of the Legislature for
thepurpose of appropriating money
for the relief of the restitution
which now exists.
We think the suggestion very
timely, aud hope Gov. Stone will
issue his proclamation converting
the Legislature at some healthy To-
cality at the earliest practicable
moment. There is money in the
