HOW THE PEOPLE OF MEMPHIS FEEL.

What Senator Matthews learned in the city. /
They dread very much the recurrence of
an epidemic of yellow lever. They are en-
couraged to believe that the severity of the
winter will destroy the germs of the disease
in this country and prevent its reappearing
next season. But in the event that il should
break out next summer in New Orleans.
the feeling is such tat the people of
Memphis and along the river would certain
" isolate New Orleans completely-if rot
with law, then without law. Tney would
not allow boat To ascend the river. and if
necessary would plant cannon on the bank
to prevent it. They would not allow a rail-
road train to carry passenger from that
point. That is their present feeling and
expressed determination, not CT mined to
any one class.
In reply TO the call of the Louisiana
people on their sister neighboriDg States
for cooperative measures in this grand
movement of philanthropy and states
manshiP for protective measures against
the terrible destroyer that has carried

resurrected soul of earth to talk over old
times, and rehearse the battles which
they fought shoulder to shoulder. Jacob
