The five physicians of tbe Howards, whogo toall, rich or poor, white or black, are worked fiftcen to ciehtéen hours each day. The Citizens’ Relief Commission b LOOKS AFTER THE DESTITUTE, and are moving every hour to get the remnant of white people oatiof town. The infection has spread to cvery part of the city, though no where does it rage as fiercely as in the old in- tected district. Among the new cases to-day are Adolph Thumel, A. K. Gillen, Warren Carson, A. M. Newseron, D. ‘L. Porter, and C. F. Conn,— the latter two membieds ¢ e Oittzon’s Com- mittee. Father Maher is also amoug the stricken.

The total number of persons sick can only be ap- proximated, and the number is sct at between $00 and 700. Numberof interments for the past twenty-four hours, fifteen. The fever is increasing every hour, and ezet- ting to be more violent. Cases that were thought to be light a few days since, and which have bad the very best of nursing, have sud- denly taken a change for the worst and die, contrary to all' expectations. The fever is not coufiued to the city limits alone, butis REACHING OUT FOR MILES in the country, and taking off the refugees thot have left the city for safety. No place =ives sccurity, not even iu.the ptney woods, where nothiug but heaith is thought to dbound. Since, the commencement of the disease to this evening, the number of interments foot up eighty-eight. The nomes are as follows: Thomas Murohy, Paal Stoltz, James McCallum, F. Townsend, . M. Bryan.

Mespms, Teon., Aug. 24.—A special to the Appeal from Grenada says: Appeals for ourses to-day which could uot be answerea were heart- rending. Whole families were down without a soul to aid them. Fifty brave nurses on duty have more than an averaze of two patients aplece, yet they do not flag in their duty. Abundant supplies of pravisions from ncighbor- jog towns come n daily, aud funds arc vow | being received quite liberaily. Good nurses are the great need. OTHELR SOUTHERN CITIES. HOLLY SPRINGS.

To the Editor of The Tribune. " ° CmcAGo, Aug. 24.—Some years azo Dr. Cone stantine Heriog published a paper on Yellow- Fever, in which he advocates strongly theuseof charcoal as a disinfectant for this disease. - He says that every substance which is intended to destroy.another, must, have some chemical affiu- ity for it. ‘That chloride of lime, which destroys - certain entircly different miastas, sulphar, which bas a powerfil effect on cholera poison, bas no power whatever in this fever. He urges strongly the necessity of - scattering’ the peopla ioorderto breskup the central poiut of the disease,—{rom which it always spreads. He has observed and proved for | himself the truth of what he asserts, that a few buckets of - charcoal thrown into the bilge water of a ship, repeated until the foul odor is wone, will surely disinfect it. That the charcoal should be kept in every sick room and put by handsfal on all suspicions utensils; on_everything which paises trom a yellow fever patient, woat he vomuts. etc., be- 1ore they are carried away; -upon thesheets and clothing before they are washed. That if this were done iz every case, washervomenand serv- ants g WOULD ‘NOT DIE OF THE DISEASE as they have done even in Philadelpbia in '58. He also would give a8 a positive command that all corpses should be covercd with charcoal. He found by comparing tne maps of the towns, and the local history of the epidemic, that the course. of the fever was often against the prevalllor winds, but always in the direction of the burial grounds, and . principally along the streets through which the dead were carried. The fever followed the dead. He says, furtber, that it happens not accident- ally; that what is the true chemical actidote is also the best preventive and antidote if taken internally. The * chemical is analogous to the a that in nospitals aud private rooms the vxcuse is made that it is impossible to cleanse the dotll:inz, etc., from the black particles of char- coall” - ‘The Doctor differs somewhat from the report. of the physicians you publish in to-day’s paper. They say that the” poison {s mot gascous. Dr. Bering says that it is zaseous, but acts ouly in a state of condensation. Will not some phyaician teil us whether this has been tried? If it bas been tried, ondoubt- edly it has been found wanting, for Lhave Ilvoked in vain in all the allusions made to tac recent outeresk of the fever for some noties of Dr. H.'s remed; A 2 e —————— CANADA.
