AMONG the dead of yesterday we find the
name Of Rev. Mr.. Schuyler, OF Hoboken
New Jersey, who came here volunteer to do
what he could to help his brethren of th,
Episcopal Church. He was in Memphis but
few brief days when the pestilence claimed
him for victim, and yesterday he passed away
to receive the reward which awaits the brave
and the just While on duty he was of
great help, as Rev. Dr. White, of Calvary
church, and Rev. DR.. Dalzell, of Shreveport,
were the only Episcopal clergymen, to at
tend to the innumerable and everyday in
creasing wants of the members Of the church.
Rev. Mr.. Harris, of st. Mary's, was still in
the agonies of the fever, and Rev. Mr.. Par
sons, of st. Lazarus and Grace church par
ishes, had just been laid away to rest. Moth
ing dauuted by these bdings, or the sights
which greeted him on every hand, he went
to work, did all that he could, all that was
possible TO any man in his position, labored
until the last moment, counting himself
nothing in presence of the calamity which
has awakened the prCioundest sympathies of
the world. He died. as many others have
done the past few weeks, that others might
live. The church will cherish his memory as
that of a martyr, and the people of this city,
when they come TO enumerate the names Of
those who succored and helped cur stricken
ones in time of trouble, will blazon his in
letters of living light

DIR. HIRAM PEARCE, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
who volunteered and was assigned to duty
by DR.. Mitchell, of the Howard ASSOCIATION,
died yesterday, very much to the regret of
the medical corps and ali who had met him.
He was not only a thorough physician but an
educated gentleman, who bad had the ad-
foreign schools of medicine. Here his expe-
rience was short, but during that time he
was conspicuous for his zeal and for the work
which he did in helping to overcome the
fever. His memory will ever be cherished by
this people as a noble example to the mem
bers of a profession whose ranks have been
many times recruited and many times thinned
since the epidemic began.

From an Appeal Correspondent

OXFORD, September 1.-The piece pub
lished in your paper of this date, signed
" Blue Stocking" is a disgrace to our town,
and its author is a hair Drained upstart, who
is afraid to let his name be known. Every
place has such men, and he should be put
down. l have spoken to several of our prom
inent citizens on the subject, and they are
unanimous in condemning him. You will
confer great favor on our little city by not
publishing any more of his SANDERS. These
are the sentiments of our citizens, and we earn
estly request that you publish this in your
next issue. A SUBSCRIBER.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 12.-Louis-
vile is earnestly doing noble duty in be-
half of Southern plague-stricken cit :.
While the whole north Estates, cities, sovns
and villages is sending aid southwark, no
city can surpass this in the universal upheav-
ing of a charity that yearns to relieve the
sick, destitute and dying Ct the south. You
cannot imagine form of organization that
has not shaped itself here for contributions
in some form; the Sunday-school, the church,
the picnic, the theater, the amateur concert,
the workshops, ETC., etc., and what proves
their sincerity and earnestness is, that they
all know and feel they may be called upon
again and again during the next sad six
weeks, and are ready to give again and
again. 1t is common to hear of workshop
employing one hundred or two hundred
hands, giving one days pay, every employe
cheerfully doing this. The exposition gave
the proceeds of last Monday, perhaps $500
or $1,000. The latest move is one inaugu-
rated here by ex-Confederates of Kentucky.
They appeal to every ex- Confederate in Ken
lucky to send something to a central COM
mittee here for the south, and many sack
of -four and bag of hams will soon go by
