Tho Yellow Fever.

MEMpHIs, July 2s.-The weather con-
tinuss very warm, damp and disagree.
able, favoring the spread Of the disease.
Many new cases and deaths are being
continually reported. Hundreds OF citi.
Gems have left and hundreds more would
leave II they knew whore to 60. but
every place Of refuge seems quarantined
against them. The wholesale merchants
have nearly all made arrangements to
continue their business at other points.
Many retailers have closed their stores
and left the city. The authorities recon-.
mend the immediate evacuation Of the
city. A number Of prominent citizens
have paid the passage OF all their en-.
ployes TO other points, and every n
who can will leave by tomorrow. The
intention Of intelligent persons In au.
thority IL to depopulate the city. but It
Ia expected that great difficulty will be
encountered In the execution Of the
plan. Swarms Of l~oafers. white and
oolored, will be disposed to remain In
the expectation that subsistence will be
furnished them by the Government or
benevolent people. They prefer the
chance Of death by the plague in the
doomed city to the exertion necessary to
earn q living elsewhere. On and after
August ] trains on the Louisville Il
Nashville railroad, west OF Clarksville,
Tennessee, will be discontinued.
At q meeting Of citizens on Saturday
q COMMITTEES OF Safety wal appointed
and an Executive Committee chosen. Il
was resolved 10 take q census OF the city
as o basis TO calculate the necessities
aud wants Of those remaining. A peti.

against the scheme. was referred to the
Executive Committee.
ST. LOUIS. July 28.-On Saturday the
Health Commissioners held u consulta.
ton here In order to try II possible and
arrange for the disposition OF the Mem.
phis refugees, It being the feeling OF
both that 1t will not be safe to let any
more Of these people scatter through the
city, or through the Illinois towns In
this vicinity. The proposition most
favored, since the Government has re.
fused to provide tents and rations for o
camp, Ia to charter steamboats, and
maintain q floating quarantine for the
Memphians who como up the river after
this date. Health Commissioner Francis
reports that Of tho half.a.dozen sick at
quarantine only one case 10 regarded as
suspicious, or likely to develop into vel.
low fever. The boats which brought up
the Memphis freight and passengers re.
main at quarantine, and the Mayor re.
fuses positively to allow them to come
up to the city.
