SmaU, in Atlanta Coti-ililution ] Yes, John, I was down thar at Memphis A-workin' around at the boats, A-hcavin' o' cotton with oinph'sis An' a-loadin' Iter outer the floats. I was cumin' away from Ole Texas, Whar I went, you know, arter the wall? 'Bout it now I'll make no reflexes, But wait till I git ter long taw. Well, while I was down thar the fever, As yuller an' pizen as aiu, Broke out; an' cf you'll bclecve her, Whatever she hit she struck in ! It didn't take long in the hatchiu', It jos' fu'rly bred iu the air, Till a liosspitel camp warn'I a pat chin', An' we'd plenty o' corpses to spare. I volunteer'd then with the Howards? I thought thet my duty was elear? An' L didn't look back'ards, but for'ards, An' went ter my work 'ithout fear. Que Jay, liowsomcrer, she goi mc As tjuick as the shot of a gun, An' they toted mo"off ter allot me A hunu. rati mymo-rato was The doctors ani nurses they wrestl'd, But it didn't do mc any good ; An' the druggcr he pouudid and pestl'd, But he didu't gii up the right food. "No blankits ner ice in the city !"? I hear'd 'em say that from my bed? An' some cried : "O God ! who'll take pity On the dyin' that soon'11 be dead ?" sA- Next day, howsomcvcr, the doctor, . Gome in with a smile on his brow ; "Old boy, jes't as yit wo hain't knocked her,"' Said he, "but we'll do fcr her now !" Ker, yer sec, John, them folks ter the Nor'wari lied hear'd us afior'eSve cnll'd twice, An' they'd sent ?9rnpfull cargo forward Of them much-needed blankits and ice !

There may he among the various nations of tfee*4family oue or two who would claim that they could have furnished troops like those which followed Lee and Johnson, Stuart and Stonewall Jackson ; but we doubt whether there Ik; cue race besides our own that could send forth its children by hundreds to face in towns desolated by the yellow fever the horror.- of a nurse's life and the imminent terror of a martyr's dca'b," THE PBINCE88 ALICE HQ&&OJL j London, Saturday, September 7.?All England is overswept by a great surge of horror aud pity and grief, caused by the terrible collision in the Thames between the powerful irou screw stcauicr the liywcll CusUe aud tho large, but fragile, steamer *the J'rir.cess Alice, in which tho latter. was cut in two, and suuk iu less than three minutes. Few of all that multitude escaped, except such as were able to swin?though doubtless some strong swimmers were dragged down by drowning and desperate human creatures?"as thick iu the water," ouc wit-' uess said, "as a swarm of bees." I am afraid thoro was the usual amount of selfish, savage brutality. It was uucousciously shown in the accounts of some of the i|irvivors. Ono says : "I canuot swim, bu| I managed to keep uiy bead above water futil I was euablcd^to grasp a rope, by inetfeis of supporting myself on the bodies of human beings, still afloat, and by moving i from one to tho other." What a ghastly causeway, what a death bridge to life, was that7! And?he* survivor, o'no of tho ksor^ who always survives, relates that he was in the water with his wife and child?he holding on to the auchor-chain of the lij/uscll Castle. Lie told his wife7 to sacrifice the child, which she held iu her arms, and cling to him, or she would be lost, but she would not give up the baby, and so they were both drowned. ^Verily she chose the better part. Yet there were several touching iustances of devotion and self-sacrifice. A story is told of one of the lost, a young London manulac1 turcr, which recalls tho heroic death of the captain of the NorthjkeL He supported in the water u young American girl, to whom he was betrothed,'^till ho was nearly exhausted, when a boat seemed comiug to their rescue. It was passing by, being al ready over-filled, but at bis earnest eiitriSftly, "one more," she was takcu iu. When he siw her safe out of his failing arms, he said : '"Good-bye, dearest Mary, [we shall uioet iu Ileaveu," and went down without a struggle. Husbands and wives have been brought up closely clasped together, resisting the rude divorce ot grappling hooks; mothers are found holding two children, the little ones having still t^^yi^-dolls in their clenched bauds. Yesterday, a family of four was raised and brought on altorc, j"aH firuily.locked and interlocked together in the stroug'Vaibrace of death.
