THE ARMY OF TENNESSEE.

The relief committee of the Louisiana Division
of the Association of the Army of Tennessee
has been doing noble work since the beginning
Of the epidemic. Although possessed of very
limited means, with that broad spirit of charity
and philanthropy which animates all the South
erners. they have extended their sphere Of &C.
ton even outside Of the limits of the
association, giving care and succor not
only to the members of the association
who need help. but to all veterans Of the
Army Of Tennessee who have any requirement
for their services. Up to date they have attend
ed to thirty five families, making in the aggre-
gate about 200 persons and still they have to de-
plore no loss of life, and the funds In their ex-
chequer destined to funeral expenses have hap
PLY remained idle and inactive.
Drs. 6. W. Dermeyer and J. I. Henry, who
have volunteered their services free of charge
for the benefit of the sick of the association
have been remarkably successful up to the
present time. The load Of charitable care bears
very heavy upon the association which, In re.
Spouse to an appeal for aid has received as vel
only the sum Of $3.50. The gentlemen who com.
pose the relief committee are doing good work
but the association needs help, and our public.
spirited citizens ought to give them substantial
OIlrauement and relief,

It is hard to hear of the death of the gallant
volunteers who have so noblv taken the front
in this trying hour. By telegram and letter
daily there comes to US the sad news of another
gone. Last night we received the sad lntelli-
gence that Mr.. Irving Olmstead, the son of L..
J. Olmstead, ESD. of our city, the we'll known
architect, had suceumbed TO the fever. The fol-
lowing letter from the president Of the Towards
at Holly Springs, Is sufficient testimonial to
the noble deceased:
HOLLY STRINGS. September 10, 1878.
Mr.. Irving Olmstcad came here nobly to serve
In our epidemic of yellow fever, l detailed
him to act as clerk for me- and he has worked

is completely broken down, and on my advice,
earnestly given. he returns to New orleans and
to his family there for needed rest;

After the return of Mr.. Olmstead he was
taken down, and last evening fell before the
ruthless scythe of the d. stroyer.
We tender our sympathies to his bereaved
family,
