VIcKsBURG, Miss, Oct. 1.-THE relief boat
has returned from Grand Gulf The health of
the officers and crew is excellent. Turpentine
dissinfeetion is thoroughly observed. The
transfer of the remaining supplies to the
Vicksburg Towards began at day light this
morning, and the boat will start on her return
trip tomorrow. She viii touch at all infected
points, and probably carry physlcians and
nurses to Goodrich, and Henderson, and other
landings, from which demands are received
to-day.
Lieut.. Benner and Surgeon Kris landed
stores from their respective departments to the
value of about $4,000 at Grand Gulf and Port
Gibson and vicinity. They report the fever
spreading rapidly toward the interior, but at
Port Gibson and vicinity it is subsiding. Ola
population in the country for eight miles
around Port Gibson of 1000 at the beginning
Of the epidemic. about 500 refugeed at once.
The remaining 700 have, with only fifteen ex-
captions, had the fever. The history is without
parallel. Since August 8, the date of the first
DEATH there have been 685 cases and 1873
deaths.
The relief problem is assuming very un-
satisfactory phase. The Senegam bian wards of
the nation are all allying in body under the
tocsin of government rations. They are leay-
ing corn unpicked on the stocks, and the cot
ton in the balls, to flock to every point where
relief is dispensed. They have carried the
fever from the river inland for $50 miles,
carrying more woe and restitution than ever
did Sherman's bummers or rebel gurrilIas.
There is plenty of work for every mothers son
OF them on the plantations, leyee and river,
but they have abandoned the former, and the
latter are in consequence idle and deserted.
