colored infants have died to-day from ex-
posure, and one man. There WAS some
rain to-day, but the weather tonight is
fine and clear. The Mayor is working
energetically. A general feeling Of inse-
ourity prevails, and residents camp in
open lots and along the battery, as we'll as
on the borders Of Rutledge street lakes.
A foul sickening odor arising from fssures

pervades the city. There is a latent dread
OF sickness, and most energetic efforts are
being made to clear the streets of Debris.

has sustained no great damage. The
Postofice is seriously damaged.
