There will be so few people left here Ia a few
days from now that hardly any one can hope to
train will leave here for South Carolina. In ae-
cordance with Surgeou-generai Hami'sons sue-
gestion and permission, and it will be well hlled,
too. 1t is especially urged now that
the women and children get out OF the
city, and great efforts are being made
to send them of. The rush to camp Perry con-
tinues, aud those who intend to stay will be
rather lonesome by next week. Mr.. Enter, nre-
man of the Pine-street station. received q letter
yesterday from his sister in Charleston, stating
that she was suffering from q severe attack OF
yellow fever, and that there were several other

The railroad authorities say they do not desire
to isopardize the health of the engineers and
other employees in running past St Lukes Hos
