cases outside of its limits. The Relief Com.
mittee does not yet feel JUSTIFIED In appeal
although a few experienced nurses would be
| q God-send at this time, we have ON our
1 roll only two who have ever acted in that
| capacity before. Last night some scoundrels
set fire to and totally destroyed our camp at
/ Blowing Springs, four milds from the city,
to erect which had cost US much time, labor
and money, but this is not the least dis
couragement our little band of workers have
met with. A thorough fumigation with
| sulphur was made of the injected district
! last night, but as yet the effect is uncertain.
| We have sent abroad for diSinfectants,
| which we hope will arrivs soon. Business
/ is almost entirely Frustrated, owing to the
ridgid guarantees in towns adjacent to us.
! We have received the kindest offers of aid
| from our friends abroad, for which we are
| as thankful as If they had been accepted.
| Our own citizens are responding nobly to all
demands upon them. DIR. Armstead, of At
lanta, is with US to-day

MILAN, Sept. 25.-The situation here is
little quieter to-day. DIR. Boyd's servant,
mentioned in q special from here to the
American to-day, as having q supposed case
of yellow fever, is doing well. She had eX-
hausted herself nursing DR.. and Mrs. Boyd,
and had a chill last Monday, followed by
fever. About the same time one or two
neighbors We're found to be little unWeil,
the gOSsips began talking, and panic i'm
mediately commenced, About fOur-fifthS
of the population are now scattered through
the surrounding country, and about half of
those remaining are ready to move at a
moments notice. The hySlcianS say there
is no yellow fever in Milan, and it is to be
hoped that there will be none.
IN BRIEF.
Three cases of yellow fever were reported
at Fulton, KY, on Thursday, all in one
family.
The Ripley (Mfss) Advertiser says:
"While the North with lavish hand is
soothing the fevered brow of Southern suf-
fering, she is building monument to graft
tude which viii be luminous forever"
Two thousand dollars worth of blankets
will be sent the yellow fever sufferers from
London, Canada, under an agreement with
the United States Treasury Department,
which gives them free entry.
Memphis Appeal DIR. d. T. Porter, who
was so long Frustrated by tho fever, is now
looking stout and healthy; He is again
Co., whose Memphis house will remain
open. His noble conduct during the epi-
demic has endeared him to every one who
knows him. We need a town full of such
useful citizens.
"A Dresden, Tenn, dispatch of Monday
says: 1.-THE citizens of this place organized
a relief association, this evening. for the
purpose of raising funds for the yellow fefer
sufferers at Martin. More than Sl20 was
raised in q short time. More will be raised
tomorrow, if necessary. We will probably
send them several nurses by the next train,
No yellow fever in Dresden, and none an
ticipated."
"A New York dispatch of Thursday SAYS
"F. s. Davis, President of the First National
Bank of Memphis, is now in this city urging
forward the needed supplies to his suffering
fellow citizens, received a telegram to-day
from James II. Mari, Acting First Assistant
Postmaster General, stating that Mrs.
Thompson, widow of Postmaster Thomp-
son, of Memphis, had been appointed Post |
mistress at that city"
Memphis Appeal: "HenryL. Ring, who |
did good service for the Citizens Relief |
Committee, aad had twenty-one days spell |
daily, and picking up fast. He said but for |
the delay of his baggage probably he would |
have crossed the river Silk before now. He /
is almost able again to renew work for the |
afflicted, and says if the trouble lasts much |
longer he will go his whole strength and |
sonl to pull through all cases he comes in |
contact with"
Memphis Appeal: "The Typographical
Unions throughout the country have done |
nobly by the Memphis Union. They have |
sent liberal subscriptions, by which fund /
has been maintained without which it |
would have been impossible for the printers |
to have weathered the storm as they have |
done so far. Even from union so small i'll |
and as far away, as st. Johns, New
Brunswick, there came last week, through |
j. NJ. Heating, forty dollars, which will be |
acknowledged by the craft.
Printers, to the outside world, are like ac-
tors queer set, apart from all the world,
own odd fashion but their hearts generally
beat responsive to all the calls made upon
them, and their money and their sympa-
thles go out to the suffering as free as air."
