gives an account Of fever outbreak and
panic on train. as follows "The train which
arrived from Biloxilaft night was crowded with
refugees from the watering places on the way.
When it got to Rigolets the discovery was
made that the fever had broken out on the
train, and before New Orleans was reached
there we're 103 cases on the train. The speed
was slackened from Rigolets to this point, 80
that instead Of arriving at $50, as due, it did
net get in until near midnight. The scene
beggared description men, women and chill
dren being stretched out upon seats, some in
delirium and others in an agony Of fear"
Trains on the Mobile road came in crowded
with families from the lake shore watering
places, the fever having broken out all along
the line.
The Howard Association at Vicksburg in an
appeal issued on the first, says "The fever
is spreading with fearful rapidity through the
country ON farms. From the best informa-
ton it is safe to say there are 800 cases in the
county outside OF the city. A large percent
age OF these are bad cases and many deaths

the lower end Of the county, being pre-
vented by strict quarantine from crossing
Big Black river into the adjacent counties.
The information to-day is that the fever has
also broken out there. Large numbers Of
refugees are returning to the city,. coming here
with the courage Of despair, feeling they can
get doctors, nurses and attention here which
they cannot get in the country. The disease
seems nearly to have run its course in our city,
chiefly for want of material, but the situation
in the country il worse every hour. The cotton
remains unpicked in the fields. AS an instance
| of this may be mentioned the fact that Joseph
B Ferguson, large farmer three miles from
this city, usually pressing 200 bales OF cotton,
says there are seventy-fve cases OF fever on his
and the adjoining plantations, and he has not
more than1 900 pounds of cotton picked. In
this condition of affairs merchants are compel
led to refuse further advances of supplies, and
many will suffer for the necessities of life. The
Towards have now to supply river towns and
landings, where the fever has broken out with
doctors, nurses, medicines and provisions, from
here to Greenville, over $50 miles. We also
supply the wants OF the sick in the country and
railroad towns" In New Orleans there was an
increase in the death rate, attributable to the
recent arrival Of refugees from the coast,

THE THIRD TERM RING.

1t is the Eureka Scntjll that talks as fol-
lows concerning the third-term ring at the
Capital:
The cry goes Up all along the line that if
we do not keep the Carson ring in their fat
hillets for a third term the Democratic party
will be- ruined In reply to this we say that
if the existence of the Democratic party in
Nevada is contingent, on the maintaining in
Office any man or set of men for life, then it
were better that the'party be allowed to go to
the devil across lots-the quicker the better.
IF this be TREASON, make the most of 1t.
We haze been taught that the Democratic
party is party of principle; that it has well
defined convictions regarding public policies;
that among these, and above all, is an unyield-
ing opposition to third terms in executive
office. For years We have had this doctrine
preached to us from every stump and through
the Democratic press. We have resolved In
party conventions and public meetings, over
and over again, to the same effect. There is
not sleek; lazy hulk in the Carson ring who
has not one hundred times subscribed to the
same faith. Why then should We be asked to
override this cherished doctrine at this par
ticular time i'll Nevada There is but one
answer to the question--simply that lot of
brainless pensioners on the bounty Of the
State may be retained in office. There IS
nothing else in or to this insane third term
business To accomplish this; to perpetuate
the power OF a batch Of grossly incOmpetents,
Democrats of Nevada are expected to adver
tise themselves to the world as band OF
hypocrites and liars Viii they do it with
their eyes wide openl We shall see.

CAMP MCDERMIT.

The Importance of Camp McDermit as
peace on the frontier is not disputed. If
then it is an important point both ina strategy.
cal way and as base of supplies, the need of
its maintenance, i'll hrst-class order and equip
ment, is obvious. Addressing itself to this
question, the Siluer State of August 26 says
Now that the Indian war is reported over,
the War Department should adopt precaution-
airy measures against another outbreak, by
stationing all the troops available for that
purpose in exposed frontier posts. At the
time of the recent outbreak, Camp McDermit
was not in condition to afford protection to
settlers in the surrounding country, its garri
son being scarcely sufficient to resist an at
tack from the savages The result was gen
eral stampede from the settlements to the
railroad. Families had to flee from their
homes at a moment notice, and not feeling
safe at McDermit where there were only a
few infantry who dared not venture outside
their quarters, travelled night and day, on
horseback and in wagons, to Winnemucca.
Had there been at that time strong force of
cavalry at McDermit, they could have pene-
trated the Stein Mountain country and saved
life and property if they did not succeed in
furnishing the savages who murdered Nc
Cutchen, the stage driver AS it was, the
whole surrounding country was at the mercy
of the hostiles, and not living white man
was left in hundred miles square of terri
tory north, east and west of McDermit, ex-
cept those fortified at White Horse, who were
subsequently reinforced by volunteers from
Winnemucca. and "held the fort" during the
campaign.
1t is now in the power of the General COM
handing the Division of the Pacific to pre-
vent the recurrence of the scenes of last
June by stationing cavalry at McDermit.
There are more Indians in the vicinity of
that post that any other point between the
Umatilla and Fort Hall agencies, and the
small force of infantry now stationed there is
inadequate to protect the settlers should the
Indians become turbulent. McDermit should
be reinforced by at least one company of
cavalry who would patrol the surrounding
country at intervals and restore conf dence to
the settlers, who are far from being satisfied
with the present outlook.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.

Concerning the arrest of a man at Wads-
worth, charged with the crime of murder,
the Reno Evening Gazette of Monday says:
Last Thursday, Deputy Sheriff Lewis of
Wadsworth arrested a man on a charge of
murder. The man spent that night in the
county Jail and was next morning taken to
Columbus, where the crime was committed.
This was all that could be learned from the
officers. To-day Gazette reporter met "a gen
tleman who threw some light upon the mat
ter. The person arrested is known as "Old
Chips, permanent, whisky drinking neer-
do-well, well known in Esmeralda County.
On the morning of the ID of April last,
Frerchman, who kept restaurant in Colum-
bus, was murdered He had made ID raise in
stocks, and in his exultatIon exhibited his
money. Everybody in Columbus knew of
his luck, and doctor named Murat face
tiously remarked in the hearing of number
of persons, that he would soon have some of
the coin, as "Frenchy" didn't seem to be in
very good health At half past 2 o'clock on
the morning mentioned an alarm of fire was
given. DR.. Murat gave the alarm, and it was
the Frenchman's place that was on fire. The
flames were extinguished and the unlucky
restauranter was found with his throat cut
from one ear to the other, and all his money
gone. The circumstances Of DR.. Murat Civ
ing the first notice OF the fire. joined to the
fact that he had blood upon his clothing, led
the officers to arrest him on suspicion of hav
ing committed the horrible crime The doc
tor, however, satisfactorily accounted for his
CORY condition, and also i'll other ways showed
his innocence, so he was discharged from GUS
tody. The blankets, some letters and a few
other articles belonging to ''Old Chips " were
found in the place, and the police looked for
him. He had disappeared. They tracked
him. He seemed to have spent money freely
along his devious route He was nabbed at
Wadsworth and taken back. Whether there
is other than this circumstantial evidence
against the accused the reporter was not able
to ascertain.
