troubling it this season.
CINCINNATI QUARANTINE.
CINCINNATI o., Sept. lowing to exagger-
ated reports sent out by irresponsible parties Of
the presence of yellow fever in this city our.
business men and Others are in receipt of nu-
merous inquiries to the advisibility of visit
ing the city ut the present time, whether our
quarantine regulations would prevent any per-
son entering the city from infected districts,
etc. In reply to these inquiries it is proper to
state that the city is as healthy and free from
epidemic as it ever The general health of
the city is extraordinarily good. There is no
yellow fever here except an occasional case
among the refugees who bring the disease In
their systems, and every such case has been
given in these dispatches. No certificate from
any person as to where he may have come from
| is required by the quarantine officers, for when
the persons are examined it is only for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining if they have an infectious
| disease at the time.
A TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS AND BACK.
| CINCINNATI, Sept. IA prominent business
man who has just returned from trip to New
Orleans, describes the situation South as sor-
rowful in the extreme. On the trip down at
Arkansas City, the boat was not allowed to
| coal or land. Men stood on the banks with
| guns in hand threatening to shoot it the at
tempt was made. At Memphis, which was
reached as evening was approaching, most
] depressing scene was presented. Net dog,
not mule, not negro could be seen. The
| houses didn't seem to be inhabited; from no
| chimney could be seen smoke ascending.
Every place seemed deserted Vcksburg was
almost as dead as Memphis. Terror reigned
all along the Mississippi. Ii the boat had
freight for any town it taken on to New
Orleans, the Inhabitants refusing to receive it.
at New Orleans things looked much better.
Men were at work on the levee and business
houses were open, but little business was
transacted. The return trip was made by
rail. At Grenada not white maa was
visible only a few negroes, At Holly Springs
about 200 came on board. Yellow fever hac
broken out the night before. The scenes a
the depot were heartrending-wives leaving
husbands, and mothers leaving sons, bidding
them farewell, perhaps forever. At one place
mother with three children got on the train
Her husband had died half an hour previous
and before death had made her promise t,
leave on the next train to save the lives of her
self and children. She left her husband un
cofined, unburied. The Howard association
is accomplishing great good.
