At every turn and corner s cry of distress is wafted on the breeze, that flouts o’er house cop*, through your streets and ■■ sileys. On every Side is met the bowed form or some citizen who has lost a relative or friend. lD * harried onward i (trough oiiaituel* of detiuir.” The small piles or bedding .that are seen on every street hut tells the passer by, -A death has occur* red here." These blackened spots are growing in number daily, and yet there are scores of brave hearts who remaining, bound by a duty to their fellow man. cannot but situ Ider in anticipating that perhaps within the. week the bed on which he throws hiniseirto rest to-ntght wilt mark the street with ns burning record or a sacrificed lire. During th* day there is bus. tie and confusion. Doctors are hurrying by, Tlie . hearse is met on every square. The Howard visitor is seen in every inhabited dwelling. The change of this comes when night has thrown its mantle of tiarknes* over ail. Then, Only the rumbling of some buggy over themtoiiy streei is heard ; 0r, some nurse sent dn haste for a pliy sieian to come and try to bring to life the dying patient,' is met as be speeds in search of the doctor; or, «1)0 patrolman, as be walkB Ins heal C>-.b v#r. nwemnu OI Home ailizen who has a,hi to'escape the epidemic, is seen l»y some IIow ard who has toiled late in the night to snceor the orphan children of a. dead parent.

J THE YELLOW FEVER, From the RaMytt Observer of S*taruiy' * Memphis papers are sad to see and sadder to read, and yet it was a satisfaction to know yesterday tbit one of them still lives. The editor-in chief of the Appeal, the last of bis corps, and for that mat ter we believe the last working man on the paper, was attacked more i than a week ago, and have hud no copy of the Appeal since. The Avalanche has been missing since Saturday last, andwe feared that it’ too had gone down before the plague. Yesterday’s, mails, how ever, brought us the missing num bers, their columns filled as for weeks past with the names of dead and dying. - . Elsewhere in this morning's Observer., are printed letters de scribing the sufferings of the sick, the horrors surrounding those who have so far escaped, and the hero ism of the men and women who have devoted themselves night and day nurs ng the sick, feeding the hungry, and clothing the naked.— Column after column could be pub lished of such extracts from the correspondence of the press in ail parts af the country; but enough is giv.eu, as tho Charleston Courier says, to snow that the image of God, which man was ; created, has not been entirely defaced, and that its glory still reflects a brightness athwart the dark clouds of danger ami death that redeems poor human nature from that total depravity of which it is so often accused. If the great English philanthro^ ist whose self-sacrifice in the Cause of humanity lias made him immor tal. and whose name has been so appropriately adopted by the men)' bers of: the greatest benevolent as sociation of modern times, could revisit the earth and behold the n«*ble deeds of these, his disciples,., lie would truly feel that he had not lived in vain, and that his mantle had fa.leu on shoulders worthy of its holy Inspiration, If sublime courage, patient endurance, indom | itable perseverauce, indefatigable | activity and utter self abnegation I contribute any title: to the admira i tion of mankind, then, indeed, the Howards-^—Who have facedtlie pes* ti»enee that walketh at noonday and stayeth not its hand in the dark hours of the night, who haye nursed the sick, fed the hungry and clothed the naked,. day by day and night by liighfc, - while their own strength and health held out, and when finally the grim monster has sensed them in their turn, have met their fate with calm compo sur^or, if recovering have only re ceived back their life to devote it anew to_the cause of humanity— are the heroes of the present time [From tfie New York^aa.
