The refugee train finally got off this morning
with about $50 people. There had been gen.
eral time given for starting and most OF the peo-
pie seemed entirely lost regarding It, number
gathered at the depot early as o'clock, fully
determined 10 be on time At 80 the train
pulled out II consisted Of seven diapidated and
ancient-lC olCng passenger coaches Of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road and bag

seventy-fve more Will join the party and DR.
Guiteras will 20 on through with them. just
before they left the depot here telegram was
read from HendersonviNe, n c., saying that the
refugees would be quarantined there ten days be-
fore being allowed to 90 elsewhere. To do this
efIectualy the authorities of North Carolina have
ordered two companies of State troops there 10
enforce the quarantning at the depot. As the

in farewells.
The situation to-day IS extremely diScouraging
The damp, rainy weather stll continues, and the
death rate increases. II is now seen that the
hospital accomma citations are inadequate to the
great number of cases besides the many additional
at the Sand Hills Hospital. The knights Tempar
are considering the advisability Of establishing
other yellow fever hospitals here. Great improve
ments are being made at Camp Perry. The colorcd
camp has been removed TO one side and parade
formed between it and the white camp. The
railroad section cottages are being put up as fast
as possible One of Dclleys portable pavilion
barracks is TO be put up for the use of ladies eX-
clusively. A large guard-house is 10 be built and
new and much larger dining halls are being pre-
pared, which will afford separate accommodation
for black and white.

General to investigate the nature OF the Mae
