wild excitement caused by Surgeon Gen
eral Hamilton's order not to pass Jack
sonville refugees beyond Way Crossing,
issued last night. This fired the
people here, and ut to.day's called citi.
zens' meeting the Surgeon General was
handled without gloves. Condemnato-
ry resolutions were passed, and sent
to the Florida Representatives i'll
Congress and they were urged to take
the case before the President at once.
There are hundreds OF women and
children still here and these are offered
home and asylums in the mountains OF
Georgia yet this man assumes TO say that
they shall not go. But this order
has created such II furore that probably
some modification OF it will be made at
once. The last day OF August finds the
epidemic in full sway with every part OF
the city infected.
