Dr. Porter, president of the legislative eoun-
cl, does mot think that the United States
government will appropriate rations, as re-
norted. He says Memphis should feed her
refugees
"A privata letter, just received here says
that carpenter named Frank d. Paradise,
en route from this place to Louisville, was
taken with the fever at a station neer that
city, where he was detained waiting for
train.
The streets are as quiet as the grave. Al
/ most every business house has on it's door the
sign 'elosed until after the fever" It is said
that meny houses who have removed their
stocks to Western cities will not return to
Memphis. The total number Of cases reported
TO dato amount to eighty -eight, and the deaths
! to tweaty-three.

cloudy and warm The city is very quiet
and people are still leaving as fast as they
can get away. Dvera Thousand left last night
/ and this morning, and it Is now estimated
| that there are less than five thousand people
here liable to the fever. This number will be
greatly reduced by the end Of the week, and
would be reduced much faster but for the
illlberal course Of the railroads that refuse
/ any terms but the regular fare
Four cases were mentioned last night, but
