Thi Att anta ConstitUtion publsh, 6d ou last Sunday, the following ap peal, which our people may take t< eart, as well as the citizens to whon it was addressed. The situation of Memphis in teirrii ble. The dreadful fever has exten. dad to ovory part of the city, with s certainty of oontinued increase unti frost. It is a most ialignatit typo o the genuine yellow fever of the trop los. Dr. Luke P. Blackburn of Lou isville, who has heroially taker charge of the Walthall infirmary$ say1 its path is so plain and patent tha, all can trac it. A circus componj brought it fron Mexico to Shrove port, distributing the poison on thoii Way through Texas. The tug-boal Boe brought it from Shreveport t< Momphis, The Captain of the tug died a few miles above NJ emphis, nand his body was brought to the city One of the crew came ashore with th< fever, and a kind hearted old Irish man took hin in. The sailor lived but a few hours. The generous Rile2 moon sickened and died, and one aftel another of the family was stricker down until all were taken by th< rapacious monster.--From Riley' house it has spread to its horrible and huge proportions. Twenty-live thousand of the Wealthiest citizens have fled, leaving their property in the charge of ser. vants, who have also generally lied, and heartless burglars are said to be reaping a rich harvest in the inest residences of the city. The citizen comnittcc have appouled to the wealthy refugees in vain, says a spe. nial dispatch to the Courier Jourunl. The city treasury is empty. The Howard Association would have to disband and discharge their nurses were it not for a donationa ol fifteen hundred' dollars from the banks and insurance companies. This donation will soon be exhausted; The number of new cases in poverty stricken "Pinch" alone, on Friday morning, exceoded two hundred and fifty. Most of these are doomed, fol there are no'. physicians nor nuisos enough to attend them. Men of At lana, will you tot heed the cry for help that come up from our sistei clty t Money is needed to buy food for the destitute, pay the nurses and bury the dead. Go to churoh to-day ohristian men and women of Atlanta, prepared to aid the scourged city ir her terrible necessity. Thern is na help for her poor except uhat wn come from abroad. Let our response to-day be noble and generous. OrIgin of the Hodoes. The Charlotte Obseaver gives the following bit of archaeology. With tho execution of Captair Jack and his braves, the name whicb he has rendered so famous, will, per haps become eatinct. It is the death blow to the Modoc tribe. The origin of the tribe is very ob seure, It is possible that they are of Welch descenmt ; and several een, turies before Columbus had peformed his perilous voyage, their ancestors sailed from the shores of Britain, ex plored the wild paths of the Atclav the, and finally landed on the coast of Ameriea. The historieal facts on which thia supposition is bated, are these, which we gather from the preface of South *y's " Madoo :" On the death of Owen Gwyneth, 'King of Wales, A. D. 1169, his chil dren disputed the succession. Yor wreth, the elder, was set aside with out a struggle. lie was incapaoitated by a blemish in his face. David the eldest son of the King by a see ond wife, obtained possestsion of thet throne ; sle w Yor wreth, im prisoned Rodri, and bunted others of his birth run into exile. Madloo abandoned his barbarous country in disgust and sailed away to the WVest in searell of some better resting place. Th< land which he discoverd pleased him he left there part of his people, and wont back to Wales for a fresh sup ply of adventurers, with whom hi again set eail, and was heard of n< more. Strong evidence ha~s been amd duced that he reached Anmerica, oa that his descendants finally settled or the banks of the Missourl. It is highly probable that thi: Prinoco Madoe was the ancient pro genitor of the Modoc tribe. They certainly resemble Welsobhnen in on, thing :bravery. No savage warrioG ever possessed more cool, unflinehinj courage, than Captain Jack. We undorstanid that the Hor Henry E. Hlayne, Seoretary of Stat entered the medical School of th South Carolina Universitiy on yestei day, and was warmly reoeived by tm faoul and the students.--Union in Mmory of rof. Miles A. Farrow. When, ripe in years, the aged man iscalled to lay osido these "Mortal coils" and meet the inexorable hours of dissolution, the friends of such an k one, though filled with sorrow, if por. n 1esed of reflecting minds, can often disedver muth to s othe the stricken e heart, in the fact that death'3 victim haRy to all human appearance, fulfillI r ed the mission of bumanii destiny ; or perhaps the thoulght, though a melan choly oney that "the old uust die," admonishes them to cease their wail ings and bow with submission to the derees of Him who controls the des. > tinies of men. But when we behold i the young man, just embarking from the quiet home of paternal affection upon an unexplored future, flushed with all of youthful hope, with a 6 thousand tender ties just springing I into existence, calculated to link him r with unutterable tenderness to the objects of natural affooti-mne-wheul such an one is out down in the prime i of youthful manhood, our hearts :re overwhelmed with the deepest an gnish, for we are most forcibly re. r minded of the precautions cotidition of mortals and the ever fluctuating character othuman hopes. Since the hlet meeting of the Edu tional Institute of South Ckaroliina, it lis pleased our Heavenly Father to call from our stuaks an esteemed friend, an accomplished and eflicient ,oflicer, and a most ardent fellow. laborer in the cause of education. Our first Recording Secretary and Treasurer, Miles M. Farrow, tafter 'serving the instituto for three terms in succession. (a very high tribute to i his cherihed memory,) has been re - movhd from us in the buovancy, freshness and promise of Touthful manhood, In pursuance, thereof, to an em)o tioni that prompts us to do honor to departed worth, he it Resolved, That whilc we how with submission to this dispensation of an Alkwise providence, we deei it prop. er to pay this wourn ul tribute to the memory of our esteemed friend, the late Miles M.

An iivestigation into the affairs of the suspended Merchants' Uuion Bank by the diretorsa shows that a system of frauds have beeni perpetra ted uponi the stockholders and pa trons by the olhicers of the batik, which has never been exceeded in ny concern of its size. Thei amoi(unlt ab stracted from thle bar.k reaches t he sumi of $829,478 ; of this amount I. W. Hi. hiellield, the l'residleat, has obstain ed $62,l88, iad Baibbage, the Cashier, $267,289. Thiese stuns have been a bstracted by o cans of notes and bills, by overdrafts, antd by direct steals covered by false entries, which latter have been nmdo nipon~ thme boo0ks to the amliount of $14 ,000, which is all charged up to Babbsage's account. They rep~rceot balances which (lid not exist, amnd in other oases we ro purely fictitious. The dirctors publish a card in wvhich they promise to make public a state ment of the affairs of the banik to. day. They say that every effort will be made to s3uuro all the property pos sible to cover the amiount of the im mense frauds and startling dlefalea-. tion, and thant prompt steps are b~e ing taken to realize speedily the greatest amount that can be made cut of the property.

A correspondent of the Chicag< Tibune who hia been up in Minnic sota for the ptst year investigatitn the manngement aiid future prospect: of thu Northern Pacific Railroad tells some Igly thinga about the roni and its prij-:ctors. 1 o says : "The Northern Pacifio Cou npaj)N never hand any financi l standing ; it has becu bankrupt sioen the day tin first shovelful of dirt was takni o ut And if the people had investigated the proepects of' the company they would not to-day be holding hun dreus of thousands of dollars of it. worthlvss paper. For the last t w< years the oily receipts the Northern Pacific Company has hitt were from the sales of land and its uriecured watered bonds. There has not been a s(odon of the twenty miles of that In :d that has p:id its operating ex. penses. And, whtile the head men of the Northern Paoific have been keep ing up a show of appearances fron the mioney received from Its bon& 1nd its jnids, the operators the laboring men-have gone unpaid.

"Other crimes against humanity are justly laid at t1 - door of the N orthern Pacile Coipany. That company has employed smart, shrewd yet uiserupulous iemen to visit the deandinavian provinces and deceive and inviegle tnone hardy sons of the North into emigrating to its inhos aLable, barren l1nds.

A remarkable scene was witnemsed at thC Qucen county (Ireland) As ,zas a few days ago. Chief Baron ligot was aOotut to sentence a mur. derer to be hanged.
