following in your next issue for the benefit
of all parties interested in the cause of hui
mainly:
There are great many people from Mem
phis in this place, and but one case of fever,
chat of John Fifer, of Memphis, who was
taken September l. His condition now, 8
o'clock, is favorable for his recovery. Messrs.
Charles, Frank and Mrs. Otto are here. Mrs.
Otto and Charles had the fever before they
left Memphis, and are now all right. This
place numbers about $500 people, and the
mortuary report for the month OF August
shows only seven deaths, one adult, who

born. Never before has Huntsville shown
such small mortuary report. The sanitary

FOREST HILL. SHELBY Co, Tenn, Sept
I0.-Considerable sickness OF a malarlal ma
ture has recently developed IN this community.
Some deaths have lately occurred, anG many
of the citizens are much alarmed fearli z that
the yellow fever will be general throughout
this section of country. Contiguous TO the
line of the Memphis and Charleston railroad,
there was last year about this season, much
sickness of the same character as now exists,
ut then called malarIal fever. This country
lies between two bottoms, (Wolf river aud
Nonconnah creek), and they may render 1t
-ubiect to, and account for rnalarial influences.
Now that the citizens OF C1llierviIle have
stampeded and fled to the country, many
persons about Centre Hill. Olive Branch and
other small places, Suspiciously dread every
case OF ague heard of, and are anxious about
preventives, etc. Some of the doctors seem
about as badly or worse scared than others,
and are in a measure responsible for the
present fright. Some concern is felt regard
ing supplies, bagging, etc, as cotton is now
fast eng picked, and the usual Memphis
market is virtually cut off. Where will we
sell our cotton and obtain suppli s" Is the
question. l presume our Memphis cotton
buyers will effect some arrangement by which
the cotton crop OF this vicinity can De mar
keted, and cheap freight secured from St.
Louis and Louisville via Grand Junction or
CorInth until their return t. or now devas-
tated city, and resumption & hrSinees Ia
this neighborhood are Judge W J %. eri.
