MEMPHIS, Oct. 27.-The physicians say that
everything tends to the speedy termination of
the fever scourge, and things are consequently
more hopeful. A large number of physicians
and nurses left for home yesterday and this
morning, and more to-day. Residents return

verse OF pleasant. Many of them realize that
! their private residences have been broken into
and robbed of every portable article that could
De carried OFT. In some cases marble mantels
have been taken down and removed.
| The citizens relief committee are
busily engaged in settling up
the affairs of that organization. The total of
receipts in money from the North during the
summer the treasurer estimates at 100000, of
which $4O, 200 has been expended, leaving q
balance of $4,000 to be distributed among the
| impoverished orphan asylums. The suspension
OF operations by the committee has been pro-
ductive of good results, there being, it is said,
by labor agents, many applications for service
by those who have thus far been subsisting on
charity and next week, it is thought, will wit
ness largo exodus of field hands to planta-
lions needing help to pick and gin the crops.
The streets are decidedly business-like in ap-
pearance and next week the revival of trade,
manufactures and commerce will be an accom-
plishcd fact.
