HOPE LEFT BEHIND.
There are still no indications of frost
and the infection, fed by the balmy at
mosphere of the day and misty fog by
night continues its onward course. With
nerves strained to their utmost for weeks
past and systems undermined by the con-
slant drain upon their resources, the
whites of all classes are now becoming
easy victims of the insidious foe that sinks
its poison into humans alone. DeSpairing
of early relief from the pestilence by
means of natures remedy (hoar frost)
the people calmly await their fate,
knowing that the plague in
its search for material will surely reach
them. There is nothing encouraging to
base hope upon, and despair is written in
the faces of all. No murmurings go up
from the sufferers, no cry for aid is now
heard, for all are being supplied. but the
silent suffering of the people is felt by one
and all alike. The physicians worn out
by their days and nights of weary watch
ing at the bedsides of their patients, the
ministers, tired from their continual eX-
ertlOnS, the general masses, troubled over
what may be in store for them, have lost
the cheerfulness, so plainly assumed some
weeks ago. Nothing can be done for
Brunswick now by those not within her
limits. The outside public have done
their duty. Those here await the end.
When it will come none can tell, but hopes
revived by the recent cool weather have
been dashed to pieces by the change so
nfavorably wrought. Let those away
stay where they are. If here now they
would prove an additional burden on the
hands of the overworked physicians.
NO NEW CASES AT JEsUP.
Jesup, Ga, Nov NO new cases of
fever were reported to-day.
Two patients We're discharged-Q. I.
Manning and Eliza Tindall.
No patients are under treatment.
The weather continues as hot as mid
summer, and although every morning
clouds threaten rain, yet the morning sun
dispels them, and each day the temper
allure remains about the same.
DR. Lincoln received a letter from Sur
geon Murray to-day, from which the in
formation was CLEANED that the guards
would probably remain on until the next
frost This was very dispiriting news
for the community at large but still all
seem to acquiesce in its good judgment,
the weather remaining as hot as it does.
