EDIToRs CLARION: A feN lines iIom this
civ may prove interesting to some of your
readers. l am down here. mainly to see Col.
j Il Clarke, g. NJ. of the \ o st. L. q G. K.
r. in reference to transportation of fruits
aud vegetables TO our Western markets
found Col. Clarke very communicative, and
deeply Interested in a subject OF such vital
importance TO our whole country. Owing
t. the absence OF Mr.. Ill. Tucker, q. Traffic
ma aver OF the Illinois c. X. r., the Con-
ventiou, which was to have assembled at
Crystal Springs in January, has been post
poned till some time in February-2t which
me, ting both Col. Clarke and Mr.. Tucker,
have promised 10 be present. At that
time the fruit and vegetable grower can
know exactly what trans portation rates can
be furnished during the coming year. 1t
is essentially important that the meeting in
February b. largely attended by all those
interested in the subject. Several have
promised TO come up from here. The
exact time will be announced before hand.
New Orleans is fall OF public men. Vel
low Fever Commission Potter; InVestiga-
ting Committee aud members OF the Louis
lana Legis azure are ali here and Kellogg

quently, the large rotunda ofthe ST. Charles
presents a lively spectacle of political
grades at night. Although, l profess to
know nothing about yellow fever, still it is
Il subject OF such vital and National i'm por-
lance to the commercial interests OF the
whole country, that all of us are naturally
interested in the success of any plans that
origin. l spent some time listening To the
examination of different witnesses before
the Commission. We are afraid, that owing
to there being such a diversity OF opinion
about the origin of the disease, that It will
be some time before there will be a success
lul investigation as TO the causes and spread
of yellow fever.
The following testimony was given in by
DR.. Quigano in reference to the fever at Dry
Grove, Lebanon Church, &c. The DR.. said:
The irst case | saw at Dry Grove was
not yellow fever; this patient died OF bilious
tvphus fever--the second case | saw was
genuine yellow fever. Other cases examined
proved to be in some cases yellow fever and
others of bilious typhus type. There were
not more than twenty cases of yellow fever
at Dry Grove. At Terry none of the cases
were yellow fever; they were bilious typhus.
| believe the yellow fever at Dry Grove,
Lebanon and Crystal Springs were impor-
ted from Vicksburg.' The DR.. is mistaken
here as there vas no yellow fever in the
i'm IN ediate town of Crystal Springs, nor
was it imported from Vicksburg.
DR.. w. Il. Vaudeville said in reference to
the yellow fever at Grenada. 1.-The fever
was mixed type and of a conjestive form,
it was more virulent than the yellow fever
in New Orleans. Black vomit readily oc-

a failure of the kidneys to act. | consider
the fever imported from New Orleans but

had cost the city this year SIP 100000 from
the loss of trade The foregoing ties timo-
nv we thought could prove more interest,"
ing, as your readers are acquainted with
the surrounding of the places mentioned
Hotels which have been closed during the
summer are doing better. The st. james
under it's present regime is better kept than
ever before. Capt. j. r. Leake is full OF
hos pitality aud knows how to cater to the
wants of the public-while his clerks are
polite and attentive. This added to clean
bed, comfor Bile room and good fire, aud
an entire absence OF yellow lever from the
Hotel. curing the epidemic, accounts for
their large and increasing patronage.
