Gen. John Skefhngton, for some

be pleased to hear of his improved

tai for the week ending the Goth inst,
173 new cases and Al deaths.
Below we give list of new cases
and deaths from the fever in Mem
phis since our last issue. This state
ment shows a decrease of seventeen in
the number of new cases as compared
with the previous week, but slight
increase in deaths. Heavy frost is
the only thing that will end. thel disease
in Memphis now; in the meantime we
hope the strenuous exertions 10 pre-
vent the spread of the disease outside
of Memphis, willnot be relaxed.
