AT HICKMAN.
HICKMAN, KY, via PADUCAH JUNO
TION, September 15.-Still in the valley
of the shadow of death, the fated city OF
Hickman remains. The passage over the
dark river is made now by dozens. The
, living shudder as they hear of the sue
cessive deaths and some well known name
is mentioned as the one now laid low
From a shudder they pass to a chill, and
soon the raging fever marks them as the
next victim, and they are recorded as
one of the stricken, only to speedily pass
away. The hope that fingered in
the breasts of the few has changed tc
despair, and all now look forward only tc
utter humiliation and a blotting out
from earth. The fearful fate of Grenads
stands an appalling picture, of which
our own town is becoming q fac Sinlile
We have had twelve deaths within the
past twenty-four hours, and eight new
cases.
