In a reCt at conversation, General
Longstreet is reported to have said tat
the Southern armies were never so well
organized and disciplined as those of
the North; that there was probably as
much courage in one army as in the

followed by the singers and others.
They marched around the grounds
singing while the bells rang out part

The grounds were illuminated with
lanterns and colored fires, and the ef-

grounds three times the ministers stood
in the pavilion, and as the people pass

At the conclusion of this ceremony the
dexology was sung, and a benedction
pronounced by Rev. w. M. Ridgway.
The closing exercises at this camp have
always been of an interesting character
but on Monday night it was thought
that greater zeal was manifested, and
more widespread interest felt than for

Freak \ Of the LiRhfnlmH.

From the Smyrna "Times'' we learn
that during Friday night the lightning
struck in three places in that vicinity.
The porch of the dwelling of Obediah
Voshell, on the farm OF the late ex
Sheriff Green, was considerably shat
tered, a wire screen door torn to pieces
and the door knob partly melted.-
About six feet of the plasteripg in the
room where Mr.. and Mrs. VOshell were
sleeping was torn from the ceiling and
the whole familp partially stunned by
the crash.
The tenant house occupied oy Mrs.
Robinson on the Lee property Iear

passing through the side Of the house
into the kitchen, tearing off a portion
of the weather boarding. On the farm

one shattering large poplar tree and
the other killing young driving horse

capes and enjoy the pleasu ure of bath

promptly looked after.
These river excursions are becoming
more popular every day and hundreds
from this city avail themselves of this
delightful ride every week. Meals are

The New York Herald is taking ad-
vantage of the silly season by pretend
ing to advocate Gen. Thomas Ewing as
q candidate for the presidency because
he favors the reimposition Of the in

this tax is the fariest in the world, and
that it would be good policy to restore
it. Certainly it is fair in theory, but
most unfair and injurious in practice
and application. 1t works injustice
and inequality, perjury and conceal

bounds demanded by some reckless
partisans it would act as direct check
upon the accumulation of property,
which is recognized as one of the most
forces in society.
The capitalist in this country is usu-
ally selfmade, and he has made his
torture generally by bringing produo-
tive power into free play, by exercising
self-control and practicing the virtues
Of prudence and industry. Should Le

taxation because, by thus making

to his door? Such tax might be en-
durable in war times, as a patriotic
necessity, but otherwise, "hardly

The campaign in New York this fall
is as important as any in this genera
ton. The Governor to be elected will
have he appointment of more import
ant State officers than any of his pre-
decessors, and it will be almost impos
sible to regain the State next year if it
should b- lost to Us this fall. With
the opposition firmly intrenched at the
capital and in command o the treasury
and the vast army petty otiice-holders,
it would BE- impossible fer the Repub-
licans to get the victory even if it were
honestly won. This is no time for

THIRD EDITION.
The Fever Cause of the Ouibreak
ut Memphis.

ut Memphis.
The true reason Of the present out
break Of yellow fever lies not so much
in the filthy streets and alleys Of the
city, as in the cupidity of some Of our
people who would not give their con-
sent to destroy even the bed clothes
upon which patients died ofthe fever.
It has never been demonstrated that
the yellow fever germ can be preserved
through the frosts and freezes Of ~inter
in the foul air ota privy vault, but it
has been shown time and again that
woolsn goods, especially blankets, that
have become saturated with the yellow
fever poison, will retain it for = very
long period even in cold weather. 1t is
weil-known that many persons in Mem
phis did not hesitate to preserve and
even to sleep upon beds and bed cloth
ing thst had been poisoned by the in-
fected air of sick-room, or by direct
contact with the yellow fever patient.
These articles have been kept Of
course, in bed rooms where the heat Of
. FIRE during the day and the warmth
of the sleeper's body at night preven-
ted the germ from being frozen ont. In
many instances woolen clothing that
had been hanging in the sick room,
where the air was reeking with the
foul fumes OF the fever, was packed
away in trunks, or with the poorer
class, in wooden boxes. Here 1t r-,
mained during the winter. The warmth
generated by tho fabric was amply
sufficient to preserve the germ in all
its former vigor, and there it lay, like
deadly serpent, only waiting for he
of summer to warm it into life.
Mulbrandon's coat, which, like the
shirt Of Nsssus, carried death in every
fold, is now matter of history. An
other is that mentioned in the "Ava-
lanche" Of yesterday morning, Of
South Memphis woman who has kept
in . wooden box all the clothing of her
husband, who perished by the fever
last year, and even the bed clothes ON
which he died, stai ned all over with
black vomit.
One of the ablest physicians in Mem
phis said not long ago that tnere was
not house in the city, whether occu
pied during the fever or not, that had
not been infected by the yellow fever
poison. 1t should be remembered also
that even those who fed from the city
" hen the fever broke out, lett b. h nd
them their carpets, bedding and win.
ter clothes, to receive iu trust for them
the insidious poison which they were
trying to escape. This reasoning may
not be founded upon the principles IF
medical science, but it is certainly JUS
,fird by common sense, and by getting
up all the evidence to be had in re-
gard to the matter, the medical frater-
nifty may be able to throw some light
upon the Origin of the present outbreak
OF yellow fever in our city.-AvaIanche,
