ExtrjL action of i^fc^gl.Ut?r??. X'WO weeks from to-?ay, the booth Carolina Legislature will convono iu extra scssioa. The proolamation ol the Governor to that effect will, as. we ate iaf?rmed, be issued in a few days. We presume that he will state the grounds apes Vilich he hues the necessity fcr this extra- expense, .and propose the measures of legislation which are so urgent aa to mako . indispensable this extraordinary step. We trial that he Will bb explicit and'f oil iu gratify iug the reasonable cariosity of the people to know what i8 in tho wind, and, if possi? ble, by lecture or otherwise, indaoethat body to consider the matters presented for their action with proper economy of time and of the people's money. Bis Excellency will exonse as for making this suggestion. We have a vivid recollection of the last session, whioh lasted four months, and after all that time of labor and travail, brought forth only a series of Acts, which grant? ed ineiguifloqnt charters, ultared names difficult to prononnoe to others more unpronounceable still, and very care fally looked after the per diem of the members. We remember, too, that much time was consumed in eleotions, each one of whioh was preceded and followed by active oanvassing and re? joicing, and'all of whioh helped to swell Iho bill. It was in consequence cf this regard for the merest trifles and for per? sonal indulgence, that weightier matters were passed by and neglected. The bill for exemption of capital in manu? factures from taxation, the bill for a gonoral charter law, the fence law, and the bill te promote the introduction of immigrants into the State, all important as they were, failed for this reason, or for some other no better. The question of the bonds and the pnblio debt may also be plaoed in this category of ne? glected business and violated trusts. In tho voluminous,message which tho , Governor transmitted to the Legislature at the beginning of last session, he pro? mised to mature and present a scheme touching the finances. The difficulties surrounding the subject were great, he said, and demanded time and reflection. The session olosed without any action on the part of the Legislature and without any specific recommendations from the Goforaor on this important aubjeot. Thugs were left in ttiatu quo, and the people .condemned to Egyptian dark? ness. During the present year we have had the suits of Morton, Bliss & Co. against the State, to recover the interest upon certain State bonds held by them, and the decision of the Supreme Court in. tha ; mandamus case, ordering the Comptroller to levy the tax necessary to discharge the amount of this interest. So things stand. We suppose that by this; time, and, pressed by the moment? ous .events at which we have glanced, the Governor is now compelled to faoe the question. Bumor is busy in circu? lating what his Suggestions will proba? bly bo. Wo {shall not heed her tales, but look With what hope and confidence we can muster, to hear from him the e tor nest recommendations ' to throw, overboard every bond and every claim to whioh the'least shadow of suspicion can attach. To this he and his party are solemnly bound in the terms of their platform, and to thi'B, whatever the ac? tivity or power Of "rings," the people will steadily hold them. And, if he takes this position, and consistently aud firmly holds it, and the legislative ac? tion be in accordance with it, aud the people be thus relieved of half tho debt which has been industriously and fraudulently piled up against them, he Will not only do a jast and propor thing, but will blunt the edge of the critioism and opprobrium which rest upon his name. This is his opportunity. He will do wrong to the State and to him? self to neglect it. Let us have tho debt thoroughly investigated and cat down to its exact and proper earn. BEvrvAii o?

Ywxow Jaok.?The .following letter, addressed to the editor of tbe Atlauta Herald, gives a trustworthy report Sf the origin and spread of yollow fever in Sbreveport, La.: You have read of tbe violenoe of this fever, its usual malignant form and frightful fatality. A traveling circus and menagerie stopped in the plaoe a few days, and was attached by their' creditor". This detained tbe company some weeks. A number of the attaches died, with very short illneas. Immedi? ately in the neighborhood in which the ciroQB was located, the disease began, and in ten days embraced tbe oity. It is pronounced the Spanish yellow fever, or Mexican vomito. It takes them off io about five days?several I have beard of in two days, and one yesterday, strong and vigorous, in twenty-four hours. An old phyBioian, who has passed through fonr seasons of yellow fever, said to me: "My patients all dio. Only a small per oentage recover." This oity olaims 12,000 populolion?say 10,000, two-thirds negroes, leaving whites 8,000 or 4,000; half have left the plaoe. We, therefore, have 1,500 to 2,000 whites. Out of this number, quite a large proportion had the fever in 1853 and 1867, and hence not so lia? ble to it. Now, a mortality of twenty five to forty per day is fearful to con? template. The deatha are diminishing for want of material?not that its ma? lignity has diminished; if auy ohange, it htt increased. It is spreading in the suburbs and country for miles around. I No abatement can bo hoped for antil frost, and that we cahnot expeot for four to Bix weeks. ? Just thiuk what distress and moLTttng this fever bus entailed. Families friherless and motherless; fathers lets without a wife or children; in some two or throe oases, entire fami? lies have all died. The Howard Asso? ciation are doing; wonders, with the very liberal donations from other oities and the .very excellent organization of tbe Association. All the siok are provided with nurses and all the comforts that money will oommand. The family with which I live consists of five members; two have died. TlJb others are yet to take it. The fever has attacked those whose who had it in 1853 and 1867. A number of such have died. The ne? groes are also being taken. It is ex? tending in the country with-fearful fa? tality. It has orossed Rod River to tbe East side, and doing sad havoc I bear of the death of one in twenty-four hours who had it badly iu 1867. I am slowly but gradually recovering; was out tbe most of yesterday, attending to some light duties. The monthly report for September of tbe Department of Agriculture has the following ou cottou from this State: Orangeburg?Rusted; the ruin threat? ens to reduce the yield; caterpillars at work, but the crop is too far advanced forfcmnoh injury from thorn. Claren? don?Injured by exoessive rain; rust and casting of fruit very general. Fair fiold?Increased acreage lost by lack of working; muoh upland cotton has taken a new growth, and will bo too late for fruiting. Chesterfield?Reduced ten per cent, by excessive rain, causing an extensive shedding of bolls. Marion? Too wet for cotton; rusted on thin lands; on highly manured lands the bolls rot as they mature. Lexington ? Excessive rain oauses too much weeds and shedding of young bolls; seed from tbe department show a marked supe? riority. Richland?Caterpillars all over the Oounty; damage not yet developed. Williamsburg?Much injured by ruins; forms falling; caterpillars destruotivo. York?Exoessive August rains caused much cas'ing of fruit; crop declining from its first high condition. Marlbo? ro?Heavy raius have brought rust and shedding of forms iu sandy lauds; worma destruotivo ou bottom lands. Ljanreos?Opened throe weeks late; largo growth t<5 abed; worms and rot developed. Union?Acreage somewhat increased; more commercial fertilizers th?n usual; short of labor. Edgefield? Injured ten per cent, by rust; due to guano. Taking all the States togother, tho report holds that the present season can scarcely be deemed quite an ave? rage ono for cotton; but whou wo recall the fact that drought, severe rains, wind storms, inseots, rust?all those or most of tbom?are recorded of every crop that is made, it will be seen tbut seasons worse than the present are utmost as numerous as those that are better. Should the autumn prove unusually fa? vorable, an average jield might yet be obtained. The potato crop of tbe coun? try stands at about ninety-five. Barley in tbe South is below tho nverago. Sweet potatoes aro above the average, except io South Carolina, where they stand ninety-nine. The hay crop ex? ceeds the average from two to uiuutoen per oent. Tbe severity of the last win? ter has shown its destructive results io the shortness of all the fruit crops. Io a few Counties, insect, injuries are noted; but these peats appear to bavo found but little scope for their ravages in tbe stintod growth of the orops. A scarcity and inferiority, of fruit ia a chronic complaint. Tobacoo averages ubout nicety. Willie; tho sou of Mr. Croon B.

A tornado, on Monday, awept aoroes Charleston, in a North-weaterly direction* with fearfal velocity, striltng the freight depot of the Northeaatarn Railroad on the South? west angle, brenohiog the solid brick wall as if it bad been subjected to a cannonade, tearing np the roof, and o^c tinning its work of ruin through the entire length of the depot, which is 250 feet long and forty wide, first complete? ly uncovering it, and then scattering its walls, a huge mass of debris, upon the grnnud. The employees of the road who were iu the building were fortu-1 nately admonished of the impending disaster by hearing a craoking sound as though the timbers were giving way, and, louring that something might hap? pen to the structure, began to flee for safety, bat, before they all could get out of danger, a shower of falling timberf, Bplinters and roofing fell around and upon them. Some of them made mi? raculous escapes, but others wero over? taken by the falling ruins. One was killed outright, and several others in? jured dangerously or slightly. The orash was heard at a great distance, causing people in the streets to pause to ascer? tain the cause of the ominous Bound. The people who lived in the vicinity of the report wore terribly alarmed and rushed to their windows and doors to I hear what had occurred. The window sashes and glasses of the bouses on the ' South side of Ohapel street were foroed I out by the great volume of wind that ! rushed out of the depot when it fell. I The depot, which seemod strong ooough to resist any gale, was now lyiug a mere mass of ruins, with its huge rafters and columns scattered upon the earth, while orieB of distress from the wounded filled the air. Those who eBouped ran wildly {about the street, fearing to look back upon tbo scene whence they had just fled. A scone of the greatest confusion vnsued. Tho news of the'disaster be? came geuerally known iu tho city, and people rushed from every direotion to the Hoe.no, until Chapel streot was so crowded that it became necessary to Btretch ropes across it, to keep the way dear so that tho hands who were re? moving the debris could work without interruption and as rapidly as the emer \ gency required. It is ostimated that I the damage done to the depot, freight, A-c, will be between $50,000 and 375, 000. The President's oftioe and Trea I Burer'a room woro completely demol? ished, and Ibe Superintendent's office and other u n .. cmentn of the bureau of the company more or less injured. John Miller, a foreman of hands, was in? stantly killed; James Mazyok, an un? loading clerk, was buried in the ruinB, but was dug out with his ankle injured; Cambridge Trott, a lad, had one of his legs broken and otherwise injured; Michael O'ShaughueBsy, a laborer, bad? ly injured internally; John Kinnealy, a laborer, killed; two colored men serious? ly hurt; Robert Steven, colored, and Edward Drew, colored, also hurt. Two mules aud a horse, which were unload? ing at the dopot, wore so badly injured, haviog their legs and thighs broken, that they wero ehot to put an end to their sufferings.
