The coun- 1y comprehended in a territor 150 miles by 100, and tribotary to this city, bas been or is now being ravared by the disaase.

AN APPEAL. . Thefands of the Hebrew Hospitsd Associa- tior are exhausted, and an appeal has buca is- sued to tbeir co-religiontsts throwzhout the United States for finaucial aid for the care of the orphans, sick and destitute. The Society has e "vended $10,000 thus far during the ep_l» demc, and, unless a response is made to this, appeal, their labors must cease. Their condi- tion is a fair indes to the condition of nearly all the Assouations at work, and the fature pre- sents a decided!y discouraging outlook for the widows and orphaus (who, moderately estimat- ed, will agureaate 5,000 souls) during the com- i winter. Those who have survived in many Jnstances have beeu oblized to burn their beds, clottung, and other infected articles to such an extent that they have scarcelv wearing apparel suflictent to cover their nakedness, and NO PLACE TO SLEEP. Thisis not confined to negroes and the noor -whites, but includes jmany who, before the epidemic, were men - comaratively comforta- ble circumstances, but who have exocnded their meansin providing for the nursing and burial of members?of their families, aud to-day are Dbaukrupr. The Itaiicns are in need, and _to-day received 2215 from their friends at New York and Louis- ville.

Memphix Appeul. ) TIn respounse to sowe allczations published in the Washington J'ust, reflceting severcly upon 1he colored,prople of Memphis in_connection with the pfvailing pestileuce, we dispatched to that paper 1hat the colored oeople in_ Mcmpbis in mass bave been as loyal to duty as the whices: thar they had respunded as quickly, = policemen, soldicrs, and nurses, as the white people, and, with the exceotion of a few noisy oues who bad been suppressed by Capt. Brown’s {culorea) Zouaves, hud mauifested a disposition peaceabie and resssuring 50 far as the main- tenapee of law and order was concerned. We added that the white peosle of Mcmphis apprecisted and were proud of tucir ~colored fellow-titizens. And we are. Whencver - and wherever &they have been called upon they bave manifested 2 disposition that has won ttie admiration ot the members of the Howard Association, and of the Citizens’ Rehel Commitiee. Individual ex- ceptions to this rale there have been, but they were excentions proving the rule. We reoeat, the colored veople have done well. Thrown out of empioyment by tue cutire cessation of busi- ness, and Jelt witaout auy means ol living, they bave wmantiested a paticnee and a forbearance that 1s in remarkable contrast with the riotous camors the wume peovie of the large trade centres would bave made under hke circum- stances. Looking back throuzh the eloomy vista of the past five weeks, and recalig ail we have passed through, how near to anarchy we bave been several times, we ure thaukful that the negroes, lorming as Liey do, just now, tne great bulk of our pooulatiun, Luve muni- fested a patience worthy ot ail praise. PLAGUE NOTES. Henrs A7 itirche. The Howards are overworked. If our charita- ble triends who are sending boxes vl goods to those wood S.maritans would be pleased to mark the natare of the concents, it would save inlimte contusion, s the clerical force of that orwanization is utlerly inadeyuate 10 the bourly demands upon their tune. 3 Tuere are streets aud _strects where there is lardiy a lving soul. When a boniire is neces- sary of infected bedding, it can be taken there aud burned, or it can be takew avd burned on Front strect, where there is scarcely a living man, without vifending the_oltactories of the must populous part of the Mewplis of to-day. Tuere is DOt any very great cocouragement i the mortuars report of vesterday, but silla sanguive man cun derive some comfort irom the fact that there are not quite as many people to die as there was a week ago. If some of our readers think that remark is rather fippant under the circumstances, we can oaly say that we'must lai as well as erv, We Dave been Vi very dav lately, and now for a chauge ¢ will luugn, a sort of bysterical lausrh atter ali. ‘Tne Rev.
