New Orleans Democrat: The fever is
spreading on the lower coast, first max
ing its appearance at Terre-au1-BGuf,
it is, we have heard, at Searsdale, and
there were two cases at Orange Grove,
all on this side of the river. 1t is also
at Woodland, in Jesuit's Bend, and on
Wednesday, Mr.. James Mccall, store
keeper on the Concession plantation,
died from it. The three last named
places are on the other side of the river.
The scourge has also taken possess
sion of the Missippi Sound, and our
beautiful and pleasant watering places
on the lake shore, that heretofore had
been considered as free from all cpl
denies, are now stricken.
Ocean Springs has had many suffer-
ers and many victims, and it is now al
most deserted.
Biloxi is tainted with the poison, and
the people there are very anxious.
At Mississippi City the fever is rag
ing, and the hotel keepers prefer to see
their clients leave than be subject to
the anxiety caused by the fear of sick
ness. Many of our best friends and
most precious citizens have been at
tackled there.
Pass Christian even is not free from
the dreadful scourge. The fever did not
leave this delightful summer resort I'M
molested, ami laid IT'S f;lngs upon it's
citizens and those whose delight it is to
go there for summer recreation. K
But Bay st. Louis is the most stricken
of all our summer Watering places of
the Gulf coast. The dispatches last ev-
ening announced loo cases and twenty
five deaths to date. Aid has been sent
there by the Howard Association.
MEMpH1s, Sept. ~. There were twen-
ty-eight deaths to-day, of which ten
were colored. Appearances are more
hopeful. The record of unacclimated
physicians now stands: total, thirty
eight; died, twenty-one; sick or conva-
lescent, sixteen; escaped, one. Wealth
er mild and unsettled. -
BATON ROUGE, Sept. 27.-Feyer report
for twenty-four hours ending at 8
o'clock this morning; deaths, none
new cases, ffty-fve.
CANTON, Miss, Sept. 27.-New cases
for the past twenty-four hours, Is,
deaths, l. Mr.. Benwell, deputy sheriff,
and one of our active Howards, has two
children very i'll. The majority of our
sick are, thanks to favorable weather,
doing we'll. My little boy, Howard, is
convalescent and ont of danger. Mrs.
E. j. Bowers died last night. We are
more hopeful this morning, and think
that the worst is over. tg
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Dispatches
from the South show that the fever is
still raging in New Orleans, Memphis
and Vicksburg. Death is busy in
Brownsville, Chattanooga and Grand
Junction, Tenn. Refugees are spread
ing the disease in Georgia. Cincin-
natl reports large number of cases in
the vicinity of the depot in Louisville,
where Southern refugees landed, but
the dispatch is not confirmed by press
or special correspondents or private
kilograms direct from the latter city.
Money relief for sufferers through
New York city now amounts to nearly
$500, 900.
