A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
writing from Vicksburg, recites as an instance
of woman's heroic devotion to the suffering
victims of yellow fever, the case of the wife
of ex-United States Senator II. S. Pease, the
present Postmaster of the city The Senator
and two of his children were stricken down
among the first victims of the scourge. She
nursed them during their sickness, and at the
same time managed the post Office, the cleri-
cal force of which had been reduced by sick
ness and death to one brave young lady clerk,
a Miss Augusta Banner As soon as her hus-
band and children were convalescent she
minstered to the wants of her destitute sick
and dying neighbors, going from house to
house at all hours of the day or night, with
her trust in God and a case of homeopathic
medicines. She treated between fifty and
seventy cases of fever among the destitute
colored people, not losing a single patient
For FIVE weeks she continued this great work,
when she herself was stricken down, but has
since recovered. The same correspondent
mentions the amusing Ignorance of the ne
groes who, hearing of the Howard Association
called it "de General Howard 'sociation, and
thought that Gen. Howard had re-established
the old Freedmen's Bureau.

During the past ten years, says the New

reports Of exports and imports for the
frat eleven months Of the fiscal year end.

the balance due the United States on the
years business will be fully s260, 600. 600,
being an increase OF more than $50, 000,.
900 over the balance accruing in 1857.
Against this, large purchases Of bonds
have been made during the past six
months. The cessation OF gold exports
gives material aid in gathering specie
Tor resumption purposes, the pro-
duct OF American mines being very
large, and when not exported accu-
mulating very rapidly. 1tseems inevi-
table, also, that in early autum the i'm.
portation Of gold will begin. The heavy
shipments OF merchandise are likely 10
continue, and it must be paid for in some
way. Possibly bonds may be imported
but more probably gold, though the ad-
vance in the Bank Of England rate will
tend 10 prevent the export Of gold from
there for q while, Even il the bonds
come, instead Of gold, the amount 10 be
shipped each year for interest will be
thereby diminished, though We deem II
far better that, for the present, the debt
should be held abroad; leaving American
capital free for industrial enterprises
and other purposes.
