The condition of Memphis under its
visitation does not change very much in
the prevalence and progress of the fever.
The reports of cases from day to day,
have gradual increase, Some of the
latest reports, those of the present week
have been the highest, and fifteen on
Tuesday last, we believe was the greatest
number up TO that day, This increase, it
must be considered, is not gauged to the
same population, for the population is
lessening by death as well as removals.
Whether the removals to camp-some five
miles ,fFom the eity-are recorded as in
the city enumeration is not stated. We
are, therefore, to conclude, that the in
crease in the number of cases upon a de-
creasing population, would make the NOR
tality considerably greater, in the ratio OF
disparity,

Bon. CHARLES FosTER.-We have it
from the Sentinel that the Republican
candidate for Governor, will attend our
County Convention, and address the peo-

trains and the dinner hour. This is very
good arrangement as it may afford the on

measurement OF the man they will be call
ed upon to vote for, and if duly alive to
the demands of the times, to elect for the
next Governor of the State. This consid-
Grafton ought to secure a very full conven-
