Vicksburg, Miss, October L.
Weather clear and warm all day ;
thermometer 80, slightly cloudy to-
night. Twelve deaths to.day--ten
whites and two colored; three of
them were from the country. The
fever is spreading with fearful
rapidity through this county on
farms. From the best information,
it is safe to say there are 500
cases in this county outside OF the
city. A large percentage of these
are bad cases, and many deaths
have occurred, though the disease
was unknown outside of the city
ten days ago. Six deaths at Bo-
VIVA yesterday, Il village OF not
more than seventy.fve inhabitants.
The fever broke out. yesterday at
Magnolia Hall, four miles from the
city, where a large number of peo-
pie from the city had taken refuge.
Persons sojourning there fled in
diSmay, when the disease was pro
nonnced yellow fever. They took
refuge in thelower end of the coun-
ty. Men are prevented by strict
quarantine from crossing the Big
Black river into adjacent counties.
Information today is that the fever
has also broken out there. Large
numbers of refugees + returning
to the city, coming here with the
courage of despair, feeling they can
get DOCTORS, nurses and attention
here that they cannot get i'll the
country.
The disease seems nearly to have
its course in the city, chiefly
want of material, but the situa-
ton in the country is worse every
hour. The cotton remainsunpicked
IN the fields.

QUARANTINE

At last Mondays meeting OF our
board of health a committee was
appointed, consisting of some our
most prominent citizens, to devise
ways and means of raising money
sufficient to supply the deficit in
the amount appropriated to defray
the expenses of the quarantine.
This action was imperative on the
part of the board if they are ex-
pected to CONTINUE a system of
strict quarantine, as the funds at
their disposal was found to be far
short of the amount actually ne.
cessary to enforce the quarantine
regulations.
Under the present laws the board
Of health of this county has never
had a sufficient amount of funds
10 carry on rs thorough "a system
quarantine as they would like
do, and hence laboring under
'uch difficulties, it is not surprising
hat some of our citizens have not
'een entirely satisfied with the
workings of the quarantine regu-
atoms. If however, the board
vere supplied with money requisite
o defray the expenses, we venture
o assert that they would inaugu-
ate a system that would not fail
. satisfy the most jealous advocate

necessary to refer to the fact that

tons the fever is now prevailing,
and had our quarantine restrictions
been raised there is scarcely a
doubt but what we would today be
in the midst of an epidemic. Even
should the fever yet get into our
limits-though there is no proba-
bility of 1.-THE board by keeping
it out thus long have done IL good
work, and no doubt have been i'll
strumental in saving the lives OF
many valuable citizens, and each
day that the fever is kept out is
that much good accomplished.
Our citizens should aid the board
OF health IN this good work to The
extent of their ability, and as they
have been liberal in their contribu-
tons to the sick and suffering in
inflicted communities, so also
should they contribute literally to
detraying the expenses OF the
quarantine the few remaining days
that will be necessary to keep it
up. The gentlemen appointed on
the committee by the board of
health will visit our citizens this
week for the purpose of collecting
money to help detray the expenses
of the quarantine, and we would
urge upon each individual the i'm
portance of giving something for
the object. The fever has been
kept out so far, and surely frost
will come before many days, when
all danger will cease, and let each
one then give what he is able to
keep off the yellow destroyer for Il

A DISPATCH from Superintendent

A DISPATCH from Superintendent
Terrill, at Atlanta, of the mail ser.
vice, to the postofice department
Washington, dated the first, says:
In many places in the infect
ed districts the people are un-
der the impression that the spread
of yellow fever has been due to
mails, aud they look upon postal
clerks and route agents as enemies
OF mankind. In some instances
agents have been taken from trains
by quarantine officers and left in
the woods. A few days ago Route
Agent Fisher was taken from his
car at Macon, Miss, aud fined $50
for an alleged violation of the quar-.
au'ipe regulations, aud this too af.
ter be bad been acquitted by the
board OF health of violations of
qaarantiHs regulations"

worth of sheep are annually killed
by dogs in the United States. No
ticing that the CANNES invariably
attack the necks Of sheep in order
to sever the arteries and drink the
blood, a South Carolina inventor
has contrived a collar with sharp,
projecting points which effectually
protects the sheep from his enemy.
BY means of a suitable crook the
sheep may be readily caught by the
collar, TINS avoiding the tearing of
the skin and injury to the sheep,
which frequently results when
sheep are caught by the wool.

FEVER At MOBILE.

The fever at Mobile has been
greatly exaggerated in different
quarters, and people outside that
city have been led to believe that
the disease has assumed epidemic
form and is carrying death and
d~esolation throughout that city.
In view of these wild rumors DIR.
&. a. Ketcbum, president of the
board of health OF Mobile, has pub
lished in the city papers a true and
correct statement of the disease
from its incipiency up to the first
inst. We extract from the report, as
follows:
The first case occurrd on August 18th
and died August 10th the second case on
the 9th and died III the 3lst. The third
case occurred on September 9th, and up to
10th inst, only three cases were re-
ported to the 10th inst, nine cases and
to the Both inst, ten cases. No new ease,
however, has been reported as having oc-
Culltu SllCt III NtiH luSl. Illus There mas
been a total of twenty-fOur cases. Of these
fifteen have died, four are under treatment |
n four have recovered. Twelve of the
twenty-four have been adults, and twelve
children nine males and fifteen females:
whites and five colored. The
disease has been confined to one locality
in the northern portion of the city, one
case only having occurred elsewhere and
that was contracted in the same locality.
The disease has not shown a disposition to
spread or put on an epidemic character, as
it has done in every other locality that we
have heard of. 1t has not seemed to exert
any Influence over or modify existing dis
eases, as is the case when it prevails cpl
iemically. The city in other respects is
remarkably healthy, the mortality being
exceedingly small. No case has yet been
at either of the hospitals, or the
%InfirmaEy.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DEvENs
has just rendered an opinion on
the legal tender character of the
subsidiary silver coin, in which he
states that 1t is not a legal tender
for debts exceeding five dollars,
but for any amount up to five dol
lars it is a legal tender. We are
laboring under the painful necessi-
ty of admitting hat many owe us
amounts quite exceeding the limit
construed by the attorney general,
and are very willing to take in ex-
change for the same any denomina
ton from five cents up as a legal
tender. So send along your dimes.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT reached New York on the 10th instant. He travels like a lord. For himself and sister there were six servants, and his luggage, as it lay upon the pier that morning, outnumbered that of all the other passengers taken together. There were no less than 123 pieces and they caused the custom officers a large amount of trouble. The usual blanks had been filed up and sworn to, stating that the packages contained nothing duitable, but the officers felt obliged to make an examination, anu the servants remained 10 unfasten the packages one by one. It was a useless labor, for there was nothing to be taxed. There were innumerable trunks, travelling bags and traps" heaps of rugs, hat boxes, bundles of canes, umbrellas, rifles and shotgun cases, dressing box es and cases, and one case of pistols, which the officer eyed critically but did not open. In addition, there were large number oftightly-fastened cases containing various sporting articles, evidently new purchases, none of which were opened.
