In reference to the Charleston nurses,

that they will receive them there after tie
expiration of ten days quarantine, provided
the weather is cool, and in case they do not
receive them they will take care of them.
No reply has been received yet from MAJ.
Durkee ia New York, to whom was re-
ferred the whole correspondence in relation
to the paying of the Harry Miner nurses
Seventeen Savannah nurses were paid Off

Perry, they will be obliged to shift for
themselves after leaving Camp Perry.
One nurse from Philadelphia and one
from New York left to-day, as did eleven
for New Orleans. Altogether over thirty

LETTERS FROM REFUGEES.
Letters keep pouring in from refugees
away from home complaining OF the
bitter cold in the north.
p. Broward and Mr.. Kornish of South
Jacksonville are both dangerously ill, aud
fears are entertained for their recovery.
Henry Hart, the spectacled colored courier
of Dr. Neal Mitchell, ,succumbed to-day, and
his place is now filled by L. F. Drysdale.
This hot weather will tend to spread the
disease.
The situation at South Jacksonville is
getting worse instead of better, and this
weather is especially favorable for the
spread of the disease.
CAMP MITCHELL.
Camp Mitchell is rapidly growing in favor.
The people are beginning to realize what
needed place of resort it furnishes for the
convalescent. 1t is admirably adapted for
recuperation. 1t is situated amid the pine
woods on a high level plateau. The
balsamic breezes, which are waited across
it, are invigorating and medicinal
The principal article of freight now being
shipped to this place is collins. Large num-
bers Of the dead have been buried at the
public expense, and they are provided with
inexpensive, but neat coftins. Though their
burial must be hurried. no unseemly haste
has been made i'll any case, and the inn
preston of being ratified to u pauper's
grave has not been given.
CHINESE EXEMPT.
The Chinese here seem TO be entirely
exempt from the attacks of yellow jack.
None of them here have as yet been seized.
1t is reported that many of the refugees
from st. Augustine are returning, espe-
cially from Georgia, which excites the
apprehension of the people in that town,
because there are many Jacksonvillians
temporarily quartered in that state.
There are now fourteen patients at the
Sand Hills hospital and ten at st. Luke's.
One of these institutions will be closed
Nov. l.
Harry Hartley, who was lately engaged
as buger at Camp Perry, is pronounced by
his attending physician as recovered from
his recent tussle with bronzed john and
Seems no worse for the encounter. He made
his appearance on the street to-day.
The mounted Gordon around the city was
increased yesterday by the addition of six
teen men placed around South Jackson
vile, and a number were detailed to guard
the river in boats.
JOKE ON DR. WILLY.
Among all the epidemic jokes and funny
4 events none that have occurred SO far are
1 so tull of real richness as the one Just told
the NEWS correspondent, by DR.. Porter, at
the expense of DR.. King Wylly of Sanford.
one Of the leading members Of the Orange
county board Of health. DR.. King Wylly

iord Yesterday afternoon he took
two nurses and went over to Enterprise.
WIN WIN them. AS Dr. Posey and DIR. +. III.

On his arrival home he was at once placed
under arrest, bundled down to the train
