The impression that Cinnamon cannot
have yellow fever was dissipated in NetA-
phis by the death of All Chin, q Monaghan,
Of the prevailing disease.
The very reverend vicar general Of the
arch diocese Of New Orleans warmly indor-
ton in New Orleans 10 largely composed of
Roman Catholics.
Otto Jalaf, of Milwaukee, aged 13, is
hero in his way. He worked several days
peddlingA fruit in the streets, and then turned
in al Of his receipts, to the amount Of SIP,
to the yellow fever fund.
Memphis Avalanche: Mr.. F. s. Nichols,
one of the proprietors of the Avalanche, Is
the sole representative of that paper in the
city. The remainder Of the editorial and
reportorisl corps are either absent or sick
with the prevailing epidemic.
Vicksburg Herald: The north, with
generous and lavish hand, is ministering to
the fever-smitten cities of the south. Truly,
peace hath its victories as we'll as war, and
this sympathy in the hour of need, will do
much in bridging the "bloody chasm."
Memphis Avalanche: Among the noble
women who are smoothing the pillows Of
the sick and the dying are Emma Russell,
of Memphis, and Miss Murdock, alnoble
stranger volunteer from Milwaukee, one Of
the heroine's If shreveport's scourge Of
1873.
The New Orleans Picayune publishes the
following caution" conspicuously: There
are quite a number Of persons sick with yell
low fever in the vicinity of Turner'S hall,
oil Lafayette street, and it is thought that
the meeting of political clubs in that place
most prove injurious to the patients near
enough to b disturbed by the noise.
Memphis Avalanche: A child was strick-
en- with fever on Alabama street. "Go."
said the mother to the father, II shall never
leave my boy, but you must not be endan-
gered." The coward complied, and saw
from over the way a short coffin bone out
of his home. The mother is paying the
price of her devotion, and by tomorrow
will herself pass TO her last home in the
city.
The following incident, from The Calves
ton News, attests the rigor of the quaran-
tine at that city: A telegram was received
Thursday evening by DR.. Haden from DR..
Pope, Of MARSHALL, saying that q woman,
travelling on an emigrant ticket, was en-
route from New Orleans to Galveston. The
matter was placed in the hands Of Capt.
Ovens, who Immediately went to Houston
to stop and prevent her from coming to the
city.
Memphis Avalapche: Undertaking Jack
Walsh was hauled over the Goals by Capt
Aratta yesterday, and threatened with in.
generation unless he made more rapid
head way in getting corpses under the
ground. A number Of wagons and carts
were pressed into service tor his use, and
the citizens' committee supply him with all
necessary material for making %cotins, and
yet old Jack has been running his depart.

Newton and Lauderdale counties, Mis-
siss,ppi, in which most of the refugees from
Vicksburg have located, are so efectuallY
Quarantined by their county authorities
against that city that the refugees get no
news from tteir friends. They hear every
day the widest rumors, aud are . prey to
torturing anxiety. The Vicksburg Herald
denaunces this quarantine against news as
an odious act OF cruelty, and calls upoa the
governor Of Mississippi TO remove it.
"The yellow fever" says an army officer
lis an honest disease, with q single crisis
When 1t gets into . man, it tries him thor
oughly and to the uttermost. The poison
goes into every part of his system, seeking
out the weak spot. Generally q man. feels

ed him. The patient thinks be is going tc
Rctwell. Suddenly he feels a weakness in the
brain, or the lungs, or the stomach, or else
where, and before twenty-four hours has
elapsed he is q dead man."
Vicksbarg Herald: The drafts for the
relief of the suffering which have been re-
ceived cannot b cashed by our banks, and
If come steps are not taken to immediately
restore communication With the outside
world, the condition of Vicksburg will b.
deplorable in the extreme. We hope fo
the sake of all that is good in man, that tn,
blind and causeless panic which has demon

Der realization Of the exigencies OF our stu
alton and our absolute necessities.
