Horrible Scenes lu Fever-Strlcl
Memphis.
A correspondent writing from Mern
under a recent date, says :
When I last wrote to you it was
general belief here that we had seen
worst of the terrible scourge which foi
last month had mada our city a city of di
The light frost which carat? at last se*,
to have acme effect in losnouiug the i
ber of persons attacked by the fever,
the relief wa* only temporary, and ali
immediately tho <Wth rate ran up a
io an enormous figure. It is now ass?
-perhaps not on the most certain gro
-that within tho eleven past weeks 1
parsons have died ot the disorder,
the average number of deaths for
whole firm* been what it has been for
past week-nearly forty a cay-we gb
have to record about '?,000 burials in
than two months, a number unparall
ic any visitation of tho Yellow fe ve
this country. It is in vain that one
i empts to portray the lamentable co
tion of the.city, where all business i
that of the undertaker is perfectly s
naut ; where the poor are thrown ot
employment and have nothing to tl
about "but their present misery and
vast probability of their dying in v
and deserted by their friends. They c
together and talk only of the scou
.which even more than other? they h
reason to dread. Notwithstanding all
endeavors which are put forth to allev
suffering, physics] and mond, it is im]
sible to do soi with anything like ihoroti
ness. Men and women make heroes
martyrs of themselves, but cannot do a
than slightly oppose the rushing cun
of disease and death which sweeps tl
and those they would help together i
the gulf of death.
Two noble women, young and bea
lui, named Mattie Stevenson and L
Wilkinson, are now lying desperately
of thc fever at the Walthall fbtirnu
thc victims of their own disinterested!
, and philanthropy. The former, a nat
of Illinois, was visiting some frieuds
Bloomington whon intelligence that Mt
phis was ni distress reached her. Say
nothing of what she intended to do,
immediately set out for this city, a
reaching it, offered her services to
President of the Howard Associate
She was but nineteen or twenty yean
aqe, and inexperienced in such duties
she would.have to undertake should I
offer be accepted. At first the Preside
ivas inclined not to accept her servie
but she insisted and was sent to the Lt
aer House to await orders. That aighl
Scotch woman, ill of the fever, was deli
ered of a child, and there, was no nurse
hand. Br. Blackburn sent to the Lehr.
House for one, and Miss Stevenson vole
leered. She nursed the poor patients tc
derly until they died,, and then went
the aid of others, nursing an old man a
woman in Main street who had that ve
morning taken four orphan children und
. their protection, two of whom were al
now ill. Afterwards she was sent to
house in Sullivan street to take charge
five patients. The severe labor she u
derwent told upon her system, and j
Monday last she herself wai stricken dot
?sd taken to the infirmary, where si
now lies in a critical condition. Mi
Wilkinson, an orphan of about the san
age as Miss Stevenson, also offered h
services to the Howards, was accepte
worked heroically, and now lies tender]
cared for under the same roof as the oth<
lady. She is now thought to be out i
danger. , Other women have performe
and aie performing similar duties, an
living up to thoJiighest of woman's right
a glory and ornament of their -ex. Men
phis will never forget them.
Tho friends of thc dead are sometime
obliged to dig graves for them in thc cern
etery, so great is the demand for grave
now. Sad as these scenes are-as when
father in mute anguish, pr?paies the tom
for a beloved daughter or eon, or the hus
band places in tho cold cc rth the body c
her wno was dearer to him than his ow
life-they sometimes arc accompanied wit
ludicrous circumstances, it' death ever ca
be thus accompanied. A few days ago
young man died who numbered arnon
his friends many of the " boon compan
?ons" and royster&rs of the city. Seven
of these determined to take the body t
the cemetery, and see it properly care
for. They were at the time somewba
under the influence ot liquor. The corni
of their friend was taken from the hes rs
and laid beside several others, so that th<
hearse might immediately return to th
city for more dead bodies. When thi
grave\was dug the young men, who hai
used whisky freely, "could not tell which
was the coffin they wished to lay in it
To settle the question they drew lots, anc
the corpse upon which the lot fell was in
earthed, though not one of the ?nouruen
?mid positively say whether or not thej
had interred their friend.
The most horrible and disgusting levity
is sometimes to be witnessed. Night be
fore last I entered a little house not far
from Happy Hollow whore, while a corpse1
wa- lying stark and stiff on a wretched
settee, men and women were sitting round,
keenoing and drinking, andoneyoung man
sat hopelessly drunk with hts head rest
rug on the leg of the dead body. Others
were resting about and looked at me with
vacant and stupid ferocity as I entered to
see that the body should bo removed. But
these are sights which are -imply sad and
disgusting. A friend of miue was to- day
on his rounds in search of persons down
with the dtserme, and, knocking at the
door of the hon JO No. 63 Jefferson street,
?ras answered by a boy who told him there
was a shoemaker named Armstrong up
stairs sick, and perhaps dead. The visitor
shook thc door of tho mau s room, but re
ceiving no response, he burst it open, and
there,lying ou his face on thc floor, to
which it bad tumbled from the bed, was
the hideous, ghastly, and bloated form of
Armstrong, who hod evidently died seve
ral days before, alone and uncared for.
He bad contracted the fever while nurs
ing his partner, who was carried to the
cemetery (be week before.

and his verdict wes that it was historical

points contained iu lt were, lirai, that
the assertion clearly made is that a large
portion of the debt of thcStato is illegal
and unwarranted; second,- that thc debt
was larger than the State is aldo to pay

THE ADVERTISE]
Edgcficld, S. C., Oct. 30. 187.
The Governor's ** Thorough and
haustivc Examination."
On our suppliment this week ma
found the Governor's Message In full
is principally in relation to the pi:
debt of tho State, of which the Gove:
says ho has made "a thorough and
haust I va examination." In the mid;
many very lengthy statements and m
diffuse reasoning, the Governor i
(with true Radical audacity) that
not at all important " to refloct upor
teay the debt has beni contracted, c
estimate what consideration the. Stott
ceived in return. Thc deb', exist?,
sound publie policy demands that st
provision be made at once for its adj

We differ.bom th" easy-going Got
nor's pian lor such adjustment js a :
ling of thc nominal amount of the en
debt.
We dilfcr from the easy-goin^ Go\

not a whit moro right to enajo ap hon

As to thc Governor's specious endet
ors to prove that the increase in tho av

less in South Carolina than in five Den
err?le States, and that the per cap

BATKSVILLE.
This beautiful village has tho right
name Capt A. D, Bates is uot only the
founder o? the place but he is the joy of
the social circle, and tho prime mover of
every good work .around his favorite
Depot ; I, a native of Pendleton, mai' be
.allowed to .say that "Jack'' comports
with my idea of tho average JEdgejicld
Man. He is proud without beiug vain ;
busj* without being selfish; religious
without being bigoted; influential with
out being presumptuous, and enthusias
ti? without being dictatorial. And what
else ? Well, he knows exactly how to
make cotton, and to keep a Hotol. Jack,
however, doos^noi resemble a majority
of tho Edgefleld men in ene particular,
to wit: he knows how to build a Railroad.
It is very seldom we see a place im
proving like Batesvllle. The Hotel, the
Churches, the Ware-Houses, the Stores,
and th? dwelling* aro constructed and
arranged in better style than usual. The
cottage built by Caleb Watkins next
to tho Hotel ia so symmetrical and ornate
as to ri vet the gaze of the luoBt indiffer
ent observer.
DORN'B MILL AND MEETINO STREET.
I havo heard this part of Edgefleld
called New Germany, and right well
doc* this distinction apply to a neighbor
hood, were the people love to pay their
debts, and take care to keep their Smoke
Houses and Corn Cribs al home. The
face of the country here differs from the
Sand Hills, "as tho night the day," and
all kinds of grain flourish, as well as
cotton. With Railroad facilities, this
portion of <>ur Di.-triet will become a
series of farm* resembling tho gardens
and villas contiguous to Towns and Cides.
Having lived at Mooting Street two
years, I know that those people
would form tho nucleus of a splendid
empire in any quarter of tho Glpbe. Wc
find herc th? same thii/l and kindness;
the sam? courtesy and perseverance, that
distinguish tho German character under
all skies, and under cvory combination
of circumstances. E. IC.
P. S.-I havo recently visited all tho
points above-mentioned, and also the
Cit}- of Augusta, on business for the Ad
vertiser/ and notwithstanding tho cause
less and abominable panic, started by
Jav Cooke it Co., tho people are prepared
to Bottle their dues for tba paper and for
advertising to an extent, whivh to mo bas
appeared truly wonderful. With many
thanks for tho kindness, liberality ami
courtesy extended on evory hand, I clgse
this communication, which, I know, is
burdened with too many words.
E. K.
For the Advertiser.
MR. EDITOR-I noticed in your paper
that a boy aged 14, had picked something
over 275 pounds of cotton in one day.
Rev. Malan Padgett's little son Walter,
aged 13, recently picked in one day 303
pounds, and in three days 750 pounds.
You are aware that this section of Salu
da is not a cotton country. I don't know
how muoh little Walter would pick were
he in tho Ridge country.
