This is the question before the people to-day, my

taking part, and that is the same thing the
globe around.

The Bannock Indians have not yet
had all the fight whipped out of them. Dis
patches from Camp Stambaugh report an en-
gagement between d band of obstinate savages
and a few soldiers and Crow scouts, in which
the hostiles were pretty badly whipped, their
chief and large number of horses being cap
tured.
A dispatch from Camp Stambaugh,
Wyoming Territory, reports that five masked
men surprised and captured the herding- camp
of W. P. Noble, eighteen miles from there.
The four herders were tied up, and the in
truders held possession OF the camp two days,
when they left, going west, taking with them
all the camp outfit, provisions, etc, and thir-
are part Of the gang of robbers who tried to
wreck the train on the Union Pacific railroad
some time ago.
Reports of the yellow plague in the
! Southern cities up to Sept. show no abate-
ment of the epidemic. At Memphis there were
! eighty-sx deaths for the previous twenty-four
hours, about half of them colored people.
Physicians and nurses were well-nigh worn out,
and the situation was extremely discouraging.
Vicksburg dispatch thus describes the situa-
ton in that city, "This truly has been the
saddest day Vicksburg has experienced for
fifty years. There is no telling Of the
suffering within our midst. No pen can pict-
ure the dreadful state Of existing affairs here,
and the outside world can form only a faint
idea of the misery Of the poor of this plague
ridden city, II this devastating disease keeps
up the strides of the past twenty-four hours,
there will not be one left to tell the tale in a
short time. There is no way to-day
of getting at the correct list Of new
cases. The death-list-oh, horror !-ex-
ceeds any during the scourge of the
to be exempt from attack, not even those who
have had the yellow fever before" At New
Orleans the plague was on the increase so far
as the number of new cases was concerned,
though the mortality was not 30 great, thirty
six deaths being reported for the twenty-four
hours. The fever has broken out
at Brownsville, Tenn, Holly Springs,
Greenville and Delhi, Miss, and Hickman,
KY, and the inhabitants of those towns were
fleeing as fast as they could get away. At
Hickman the epidemic ragged several days be-
fore it was ascertained that the disease was
really yellow fever, and then wild panic en-
sued. Owing to the terror of the people, the
suffering in these rural towns will be greater
proportionstely, than in the large cities.
There were eighty-nine deaths from
yellow fever in Memphis on the 9Th inst. A
dispatch from that city Of that date says: "We
have settled down into state of despair that
is hard to break by the closest home-thrusts
from the plague. We know nothing Of what
the outside world is doing, nor do we care.
Doctors, nurses, drugs, sick.rooms, collins, |
graves, engross our attention by their petrify-
leans POI new cases and eighty-six deaths
were reported on the 5th. In vicksburg the |
plague showed no abatement, the number of |
deaths being greater than on any preceding |
day, namely, As number Of new cases report
ed, 1873. At Holly Springs, Miss, Hickman,
KY, and Brownsville and Union City, Tenn,
the situation was truly distressing. Business
was completely suspended in all these places
everybody having fled that could get away.
There was sore need of supplies and nurses.
An address has been issued by the
Howard Association at New Orleans setting
forth the urgent need of help from the people
of the North, East and West to enable the
charitab organizations to continue their work
Of relief.
For the twenty-four hours ending at 6
o'clock Sept. there were 101 deaths from yell
low fever in Memphis, and 400 new cases; in
vicksburg, for the same period, there were
