yesterday to noon to-day 70 new cases and
~ dentlls reported. Among the dead is
w. III. Hastead, with Wheeler, Pickens &
Co., and among the sick sisters Dominica
and Veronica Of Lazalette academy and
Fred Brennan, city editor of the Appeal.
The fever is spreading to an alarming ex-
tent among the colored people. One case
was brought from camp Joe Williams. this
morning, and fears are entertained that it
will break out among the refugees there.
The work of depopulating the city continues.
SECOND DISPATCH.
To-day the weather has been cloudy and
gloomy in the extreme. The fever has not
only increased in the city but has seemed
to thwart the efforts to save the lives of
the many poor people who were moved out
OF the city by appearing in two of the
camps. 1t is now definitely known that
three deaths occurred yesterday from fever
at camp Joe Williams and several others
OF the refugees are sick. In addition to
these three a woman also died from heart
disease. When found this morning in her
tent her young bsbe was discovered on its
dead mothers breast seeking its wonted
nourishm INT. AT the camp near Overton
station, on the Memphis and Paducah rail-
road, Chas. Pagan died this morning.
For the past twenty four hours the board
OF health records show one hundred new
c ises, and twenty-six interments. DR.. Alex
Erskine was taken down to-day ;also Fathers
McGaveny and Bokel of St Peters parish,
two more sisters at LaZellette academy, w.
W. White, clerk at the Peabody hotel, and
Joseph Russell, who has been actively at
work among the sick of the Odd Fellows
fraternity. The disease to-day has taken
down many negroes, in some neighborhoods
sick ones being found in every household.
There isgreat needfor physicians and nurses,
our own physicians having more than they
can attend to, and many Of the sick having
to go for days without the attention of a
nurse. A lidc through districts where the
fever is worst, draws forth many appeals to
be directed where or how to obtain a ply
stefan. AS a result many do not receive
medical attention until too late to save life.
The Towards employ five physicians. The
sick calls are more than they can attend to.
Two of our practcing physicians have died
with the fever and five others are now
down.
NEW ORLEANS.
New ORLEANS, August 26.-Dr. Warren
Stone who left Port Eads on Sunday, leaves
| for Grenada this evening, in response to a
call from the Howard association. The
Picayune says: by private letter it is
learned that the fever at Paquemine, her
vile perish, has largely increased and the
people are sadly afflicted. They suffer
chiefly from the want of nurses and ply
slcians, and those who are in good health
are mainly employed in taking care of those
who are down" The Times says: "The
strong sympathy shown to afflicted cities
of the south by their more fortunate sisters
OF the north is something not to be easily
forgotten. On every side we hear OF most
noble efforts being made to raise contribu-
tons in and of the afflicted. While the
north, with lavish hand is soothing the
tevered brow of the southern suferers,sh is
building monument to gratitude which
will be luminous forever"
o. Y. Shearer a native of Alabama,
late city editor of the Times, died of fever
to-day in the 3lst year of his age The
deaths to-day include IA children under
years OF age,
