MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 29.-The fever is evil
IDENTIFY on the decrease. DIR. Mitchell, medical
director, informed me this was the case this
evening, though it was spreading in the coun-
try. Additional nurses were sent to Paris,
Germantown and Collierville this afternoon.
Also to Decatur, Alabama. There is a great
falling, off IN applications for supplies at the
relief department, due to careful Investigations
made by the committee into the needs of petit
tionless. This has been determined upon by the
conduct of the negroes, as they have been seen
exchanging their rations for whisky, tobacco,
clothing, etc, as soon they get beyond the
observation of the simply officers.
