NEW CASES AND DEATHS.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla, September o.
Aespecial from McCsenney reports only
three cases Of fever at SandersoD,
nine miles west Of that plsce-Colo-
mel Frank =. pous. wife. and child. The
epidemic drags along the weary weeks
with the most unpleasant melancholy
and monotony. While our people are
becoming ismiliar whh the scenes Of
suffering and death they DO not relax
their efforts to relieve those who are in
distress or to conserve the public good.
The various committees ore much retard-
eel by the raysgesof the disease, which Of
ten strikes down the most devoted work
ers at their posts of duty. To-day there
ore comparatively few inhabited houses
in which there are not sick or GONZALES
cents. Many houses are private hos
pitfalls. The list Of new cases, which lags
10 the morning while the ply siclans are
ont making their rounds, grows rapidly
6s the hands of the clock near the hour
OF 6. The hope that it will grow per-
ceptibly smaller is dispelled as each
days record Is laid before the people.
To-day 13l cases were reported TO
the Board OF Health Forty were
white and ninety-one colored people.
The death-roll footed up eight victims
TO yellow-fcyer Christopher,
Louise Billette, d. ID. Mccormick,
w. I. Ford, j. II. HELEN, Alice Eng
lish 'colored). Alvie Herrick aud Annie
WilSon. Total cases to date, 1868 !;
total deaths, 237. General distress
among the poor is daily increasing. and
piteous appeals for relief come daily
from the country districts near the city,
to which refugees have flown. Many
heretofore able to support Themselves
have exhausted their means and have
nothing now with which to do so. The
work OF the Relief Committee is daily ex-
panding and imposing arduous duties on
the few brave men VINO can stand the
strain. Bishop Weed is now ct the head
of the Relief Committee and heremains in
perfect health, although performing her
culean labors, besides visiting the sick
and often ministeriug to the dying and
performing almost alone the last sad
rites for the dead. Within another week
probably %, 600 people, nine tenths col
Ored, will have TO be ted by the hand OF
charity. The hope OF getting shelter
for any considerable number at the
camps OF the refugees Is abandoned,
though many more are anxious to go
there than Was the case two weeks ago,
for now the disease seems TO he Selling
mainly on the cOlored suburbs. Late
this afternoon Colonel j. !. Daniel WAS
very low and little hope was entertained
Of his recovery. He has devoted his
services since last spring very largely to
me public IN connection with the fever
at Plant City. and at this place, with a
feeble constitution. he has performed
wonderful amount of work for the
general good without the hope or de-
sire Of reward, and has borne great re-
spoDHbllties. Broken by grief at the
loss OF his nearest friends and relatives
and business associates, only his iron
viii has kept him up 50 far.
4 special from Gainesville to the
Times CnjoR says: One new case of
yellow-fever here to-day Major \. Il.
Grunrelle, formerly superintendent of
the lorida Southern railroad, who vol
unteered to take charge OF the tumlga-
tion of the injected places. The conya-
lpsceuts are all dong WE'LL
EXCITEMENT ~ THE COUNTRY.
JACKSON. Miss, September 27.-No
new cases have been reported since Sun
day last. Wild excitement in the
country continues. Lynch creek bridge,
about one and one half miles from
town, has been torn down to prevent
the crossing Of wagons or the establish
ment of quarantine camps in that direc-
ton. This was wholly unnecessary, as
It had been determined TO pitch 200
tents here below the town in the fair
grounds. This is not desirable loca-
ton. but the only one accessible. All
other places have closed their doors.
The citizens remaining here are work
ing together 10 stamp out the disease,
and a hopeful feeling pervades all this
morning.
BARS DOWN AND GATES OPEN.
MEMPHIS, TBvE.. September o.
Memphis will to night let down the bars

STATED the Inauguration of DOn-lnter-

mend to our city officials that it be i'm
mediately discontinued, and that the in
spectiOn of all trains and steamboats, he
rigidly enforced against all persons and

THE LATEST FROM DECATUR.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, September 27.-The
following has Just been received:
Dccatoc, Aia., September I'll de-
sire to say through the Associated Press
that in my deliberate judgment all town
and county guarantees in North Alaba-
ma along tine Louisville and Nashville
and Memphis and Charleston railroads
may be safely removed. There may be
4 few cases among the refugees, but do
not believe the fever will spread at this
season OF the year and with the sort of
weather we are having. The case at
Hacesyille Dob Stewart isyellow-fever.
Mr.. West, at Hartesell, has got yellow
fever. Mr.. Howard, at Madison, no
doubt has yellow-fever. In Decatur not
more than ten casesare under treatment,
all doing well no new cases reported.
The Relief Committee is ready to give
lelp TO all that need it.
