of the fever, and who he thought
bad paramount claims upon his
Gme. Every moment of his
waking hours was spent in doing good.
Alive TO the dreadful effects of the epidemic
and in full sympathy with the suffering peo-
pie whom he knew so well, his dispatches
we're always within the limit of facts. He
avoided sensationalising as unworthy the
occasion and confined himself to the simplest
statement of each days sad history. What
effect this had upon the public mind of
every State in the Union, let the numberl ess
active charities tell which continue to pour
their benefcences upon US. Modest and I'M
assuming, his growth in the profession was
due to his own worth and abilities, and not
to any fictitious aids such as sometimes help
70 push men beyond their depth. He was
equal to all the demands made upon him,
whether professional or friendly, and goes to
his grave followed by the regrets of all who
knew him, especially those who have seen
how nobly he met death at his post.

Mr.. CHARLES G. FISHER chairman of the
Citizens Relief Committee, was taken with
with what we hope is a light case of fever on
Sunday night. Since the organization of the
committee he mas been at the head of it and
has proven the wisdom Of his selection by his
feilow-members, by the strictest attention to
the multifarious duties devolving upon him.
Night and day he was obedient to any and
every demand made upon him in the interests
of his stricken tellow-citizens. He was pune
tual in attendance at his Iofice, and was
scrupulous in the uses of the money and sup
plies placed at the disposal of the committee
for the support of the needy people. We
trust he will be up in a few days and will be
able to finish the work he begun and con-
tinued thus far so acceptably to the people
and his fellow-committeemen.

TUE tables we publish to-day of subscrip-
lions by New York City, the northwestern
and the southern States and Canada, for the
yellow-fever sufferers of the South, up to the
fourteenth instant, shows how generous has
been the response to the calls for help that
have gone up from the stricken towns and
cities of Louisiana, western Mississippi and
west Tennessee. And yet the good
work goes on, not only in New York and
the States named, but in all the other great
commercial centers of the country and the
States, the total OF whose efforts we have not
yet been able to lay before the readers of the
APPEAL. The good people of the north and
west, as well as OF the south, do not ask
chow much DO you want2" but ''what do
you wantP" Whatever we have called
for they sent as promptly, in most cases an
ticipating our needs by abundant supplies of
food, of medical stores and money In no
other country than ours could such an ex-
hibit of generous and efficient aid and of or
ganized relief be made. Almost spontane-
ously with the announcement of the epidemic
the good work began, and as the ravages of the
fever extended and increased in virulence the
subscriptions Of money and donations of food
and supplies increased so that we have been
equal to almost every demand OF the SICK
How grateful we are for it all and for the
brotherly sympathy it implies it would be
impossible to tell. As we throw off the fever
we take on lasting debt Of gratitude that
centuries will not enable US to cancel.

Special to the Appeal
BROWNSVILLE, TENN, September 3d.
There is no word of cheer to-day. Ten new
cases and five deaths in the last twenty-four
hours. OF the new cases, seven are white
and three colored. DR.. John q. Ware, Pres
ident of the Board of Health, has a severe
attack, but is doing well tonight. Among
the deaths is Hop Owen, agent of the Louis
vrlle, Nashville and Great Southern Rail-
road, at four o'clock this morning. He was a
useful man, and will be sorely missed by his
family and the community. Robert II. Scott,
a Howard and a noble worker, died at six
o'clock this evening. He gave his young
life for the cause of humanity. Captain
John Ashe, one of our most faithful nurses
and workers, is at Stanton, down with fever.
The plague has broken out with great
virulence at Stanton, and the village is almost
depopulated.
James Dick Calhoun, promising and
popular young man, died there last night.
We are dividing our slender resources with
them. We sent them two nurses this even
Ing, although we are begging for them our
selves. The trouble is that we lose all of our
nurses, white and colored, with the fever,
because they have never had the disease, and
are sure to be taken down. We struggle
4 along with it the best we can, and fall man
by man. Our men are wearing out steadily,
I but the disease is holding its own. If we had
tents, we would get good many of our peo-
pie to the woods and furnish them with all
| they need. Staying here is only a question
of time of frost with all of US. close my
dispatch to go out and bury Howard.

CEDAR GROVE, NEAR BARTLETT, Septem-
Der 2.-When the great plague broke out in
Memphis, the kind people of Bartlett opened
wide their doors to her flying refugees. Alas!
the cruel monster seems to follow our people
wherever they go. The first case in Bartlett
was Mrs. V9gei. She was treated by DIR.
Cochran, and, under his watchful care, was
convalescent; but her husband, Mr.. Henry
w. VeRell, being taken, she took a relapse,
and they both now ''sleep the sleep of death"
buried in Mrs. MERGERS yard. Ny. Horatio
Ward, after q brief illness, succumbed, and
was taken to rest in Elmwood. Mrs. Jennie
Graves, his sister-in-law, who helped nurse
him to the last, soon followed, and now sleeps
sweetly, buried in her mothers yard. Noble
woman Bartlett can i'll afford to lose her.
May God protect her two orphan children.
John w. Forgey, worthy young man, was
the next victim. James King, two miles
north, and P. A. LaFevre, two miles south
west of Bartlett, good citizens, have also
fallen victims to the scourge. Those now
sick are Judge Kortrecht, bad case; DIR.
Wright and two sons and H. L. Priddy, all
doing well. Too much praise cannot be
given to Drs. Means, Blackwell and Cochran.
all they could to relieve the sick and dis
tressed. On the first appearance of the fever
they advised the citizens to leave, and Bart
lett to-day is deserted town. Goldsmith's
deserted Village" is reality In the case of
Bartlett-not a store open, and but few to be
seen on the streets. Colonel Fame, the depot
agent, still holds the fort" though little
disfgured, he is still in the ring" hope he
may live long, for he appears to be the
fright man in the right place" There is q
vast dea' Of sickness in and around this coun-
try. N, FOUR children have been down with
some kind of fever, as well as three of
brother refugee. All of them l have treated
myself successfully. If my little ones had
been in Memphis no doubt but what they
woald have had the yellow-fever. l first gave
FIVE grams of calonel, followed in six or
eight hours with castor oil and turpentiue,
sponging freely with cool water until the
fever cooled down; then dosed them with
quinine until thoroughly under it's influence;
after that, beef or chicken broth, as much
as they wished. This treatment may not be
the correct one, but it acted like charm in
my cases. l am glad to see by this morn
ing's APPEAL that the fever is abating
hope and trust to God that we may soon be
able to return to our homes. Il. A. sPICER.

THE typographical unions throughout the
country have done nobly by the Memphis
Union. They have sent liberal subscriptions,
by which a fund has been maintained with
out which 1t would have been impossible for
the printers to have weathered the storm as
they have done 30 far. Even from union
so small in numbers, and as far away as st.
Johns, New Brunswick, there came last
week, through J. NJ. Heating, forty dollars,
which will be gratefully acknowledged by
the craft. Printers, to the outside world, are
like actors, a queer ret, apart from all the
world, living within themselves, and after
their own odd fashion; but their hearts gen
orally beat responsive to all the calls made
upon them, and their money and their SYM
pathies go out TO the suffering as free as air.

Chancellor-elect Charles Kortrecht died
yesterday of yellow fever at Bartlett, whittier
he had gone with his family at the breaking
out of the epidemic, in the hope that he
would be safe. For thirty years past he had
been citizen OF Memphis, and here achieved
the distinction of a high place among the
members of the bar. Mr.. Kortrecht was, we
believe, native of New York, but removed
TO the south while yet young man. During
the war he was a Union man, and since has
been identified with the Republican party.
Last month he was elected chancellor, being
the nominee on the Natonal-Republican fu-
sion ticket. he was an exemplary citizen,
and was highly esteemed by wide circle of
