@ There is something pecu
liarly sad and touching in the
gloomy career of the steamer John
A. Porter. freighted with yellow
fever, pursuing her desolate way
over the entire course of the Mis-.
sissippi and Ohio rivers, and bear
ing her plague stricken passengers
to the invigorating atmosphere of
q higher latitude. Deserted by
most of her crew, Stunned by city
authorities and avoided by the at
frighied citizens all along herFoute,
she foated slowly onward like
some spectral ship Of fiction,
spreading dismay in her track
The panic created as she advanced
was so great that it seemed as if
she was to fad no resting place
for her afflicted freight, but a pest
house was at last established on
an island in the river below Pitts
burg, and there she was permitted
to Test from her long and solitary
journey.
